Wedding ceilidh
Striding Edge play wedding ceilidhs in venues ranging from four-star hotels to village halls and marquees. Weddings are a speciality of ours: So let us round off your big day in style!
- A wedding ceilidh usually comprises of two and half hours of music with a break after the first hour.
- Ceilidh dances are chosen to suit your guests and explained and ‘called’ by our two expert dance callers.
- For the first dance, popular choices are either our traditional Snowball Mixer Waltz or a song from your iPod / phone played through our sound system.
For the first dance, we would recommend a Snowball Mixer Waltz :
- Bride and Groom take the floor, take each other in a ballroom hold and waltz together, or sway romantically!
- When Mike calls, bride and groom each go and find a new partner to bring on the floor (In-laws are a popular choice!)
- When Mike calls again, all four go and bring new partners onto the floor.
- Mike calls, these eight dancers then all go and find new partners.
- We continue like this until everyone is up on the floor dancing!
- In between our ceilidh dances, get your breath back or dance with your partner to our romantic songs and stirring tunes.
