Planning a Ceilidh

So you want to hold your own ceilidh? There doesn't have to be anything too difficult about organising a dance but like most events, it will be much more successful with thorough planning.

Thankfully, having organised these dances before I can provide you with a few suggestions - some are obvious, others are maybe things you won't have thought about.

You probably already have a clear idea in your mind why you are holding the dance (birthday party, wedding, fundraising etc.). But you should also give some thought before you start parting with any hard-earned cash at the booking stage about some other key considerations.

What about the venue or deciding on the music? There is also some useful information about what will happen on the day - ensuring the only surprise you have is how much you enjoyed the dance!
