The MacDonald Brothers

The MacDonald Brothers were the highlight of our wedding evening. They got everyone up on the dancefloor and so many guests commented on how brilliant they were. They were so friendly and energetic as well as being fantastic musicians and learned our first dance for us, making it even more special. The Hireaband team have been fantastic and were so easy to communicate with - even during a pandemic and rearranging the wedding twice! Thank you so much!

Top class entertainers who got everyone into the party mood straight away and kept it going the entire evening. Craig and Brian are lovely guys and would bring magic in their performance to any event.

The band were amazing! They created a great atmosphere despite restrictions in place. All our guests constantly complimented them and saying how amazing they were. They sounded fantastic!

The MacDonald Brothers were brilliant, very accommodating, really good fun and gave an excellent performance. I’ve had several messages from my guests that all said the MacDonald brothers were brilliant and made the night.

We have had very positive feedback from everyone who attended on Saturday night. Everyone loved the MacDonald Brothers and really appreciated their interaction with the crowd. Recommend them for any function and we would certainly request them again

All-round professional night - couldn't ask for more

The Macdonald Brothers were absolutely perfect for our wedding at Mount Stuart House!
Their performance was great and our guests from Scotland, England and Austria were delighted with the variety of music and of course, the Ceilidh was amazing.
They helped make our wedding celebrations a night to remember.

Hireaband made the booking process so easy. The MacDonald Brothers were amazing, and a major talking point amongst our guests. I would highly recommend them as a wedding band.

The MacDonald Brothers were absolutely amazing performing at our wedding! They excelled themselves with our first dance song and so many guests commented on what excellent singers they both were! The dance floor was never empty and the ceilidh section went down a treat thanks to the superb atmosphere that the band generated! Not only are they great singers but musicians too! Cannot recommend the MacDonald Brothers highly enough, such lovely guys too :)

I got married on the 22nd of June on the Isle of Bute and hired the MacDonald Brothers as our band.
First of all, they are lovely, friendly guys (which always helps) and the dancefloor was never empty while they were playing. They also kept in contact with us in the lead up to the big day to ensure everything was in place and that we were happy.
The music was fantastic and there was a good mix of newer and older tunes which suited everyone. As the bride, I knew it was my job to mingle with guests however I found this difficult to do as every song that came on I wanted to dance to instead.
On Bute, we enjoy Ceilidh dancing and it was great that this could be provided by the band with a good mix of fast dances then slower music to give us time to catch our breaths before flying round the dancefloor once more.
People are still commenting on the music from the night and even people that weren’t at my wedding have approached me and said they’d heard how brilliant the music was.
I can’t recommend these guys enough for any event, the best day of my life was certainly enhanced by the music and talent from a couple of Ayrshire lads and it will never be forgotten.
Thanks again!

We can't recommend The MacDonald Brothers enough, they were amazing from start to finish. Our dance floor was never empty. They were lovely guys to deal with, and nothing was a problem for them. They are beyond talented, we couldn't have picked a better band for our special day!

The Macdonald brother were amazing! Such lovely guys and made our evening reception just perfect! Highly recommend them and can’t thank them enough!

They played for four hours and the dance floor was never empty, they played a variety of tracks including a ceilidh section and I have had very positive feedback from our guests. I would have no hesitation in recommending the group to others and the two brothers in the band could not have been nicer with guests, nothing was too much trouble on the night. Well done and thanks to “the Macs”.

We knew as soon as we booked our venue that we wanted the MacDonald Bros to play at our wedding reception and they didn't let us down! The dance floor was full from start to finish and we couldn't have asked for two nicer guys.

Craig and Brian were very professional and kept to their word by playing music to keep everyone on their feet. We have had so many compliments on how good the band were, a massive thanks to you both.
I won't be surprised if you don't get any requests on the back of our wedding as we have had a few people asking about the band.

Thanks for an amazing evening, one we won't forget.

These boys are amazing and really made our night would recommend them without a doubt.

My husband and I hired The MacDonald Brothers for our wedding and they were fantastic! The boys were so friendly and played all of the songs we requested prior to the wedding. The dance floor was full all night and we even had a 30 minute ceilidh which our guests loved. My husband and I would recommend the MacDonald Brothers for any event whether it is a wedding or a birthday party as they know how to keep the guests entertained. 10/10! Very professional and very presentable.

We had the most amazing evening! The MacDonald Brothers were absolutely fantastic....honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. My dad was speechless that they managed to play a tune that had been written for him. So many fantastic comments from guests.....just wish we could do it all over again as the night passed so quickly.

The service we received from Hireaband and was excellent! They made everything so easy!

The MacDonald Brothers were amazing and had people on the dance floor the whole night! The whole performance was perfect and they even played the song we walked down the aisle to as their last song! We couldn’t have asked for a better way to end the night!

The MacDonald Brothers were amazing! Polite, easy to deal with and very talented! They played a huge variation of music and everything was fantastic. Hugely recommend them!

The guys were exceptional, incredibly organised and helpful leading up to our wedding also. Could not recommend them enough. Every wedding we have been to since friends always say, "not as good as the MacDonald Bro's"

Very happy day made all the more special! 10/10

The MacDonald Brothers were absolutely amazing at our wedding! We have had so many comments from our guests as to how good they were. They sang a variety of music catering for all ages at the wedding in addition to the ceilidh set - truly talented musicians!
The guys themselves are a pleasure to deal with both via email prior to the date and on the day itself. We had a few requests which were no problem to them and they also learnt our first dance song. On the day the were happy to pose for photos with guests and were lovely to chat to.

Overall delighted with the band and also the service received from Hire A Band and would more than recommend them!

The Macdonald Brothers were fantastic!! Everyone commented on how amazing they were. Songs flowed one into another meaning the dance floor was always busy!

Absolutely fantastic band! Craig & Brian are positively lovely and were very accommodating with our schedule. Everyone commented on how great they were and were asking us how we found them. Would highly recommend.

They were fantastic. The floor was full the entire night. Many thanks.

I was hoping that you could pass on my thanks to the boys for the part they played in making our day so special, so many of our guests commented on their performance. The ceilidh section of their set was particularly popular!
I would like them to know all that they did was very much appreciated.

I cannot stress strongly enough how fantastic The MacDonald Brothers were. They helped continue what was already an amazing day through into the evening, with all our guests up dancing and singing for the entire evening reception. We have had so much positive feedback from our guests and would readily recommend them to anyone who is looking for an upbeat wedding band with a great mix of pop and Scottish country music. The boys were polite to all our guests and handled the initial onslaught of requests for photos in a very professional manner!

Hello Craig, Thank you so much to you and Brian for playing at Ashleigh and Grant's wedding. You really made the whole thing so very special. What a surprise they got, and so did all the other guests. Everyone is still talking about it, saying it's the best wedding they have ever been to and they can't believe they have seen and met "The MacDonald Brothers". I have had so many guests say that they wish they could do it all over again very soon. You made is so Magical for them!!! Thank you guys so much once again. Take care on your travels.

The MacDonald Brothers were the icing on the cake of the most perfect day we could have ever asked for. The guys were polite, very friendly and put on a first class performance. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top band for their wedding.

The band where outstanding and definitely made a happy day even more enjoyable, i would recommend them to anybody. Hireaband is a great site giving easy access to all the wedding bands out there making it easier to choose and saving a lot of time.

Hi, the whole experience from booking to the MacDonald Brothers performance was first class! We had a number of people call us after the event who thought that the band were fantastic! Thanks to everyone for what turned out to be a great night!

The McDonald Brothers were the perfect choice for our wedding. They played a great range of music and despite the relatively small numbers we had at the wedding, they successfully managed to keep the dance floor packed and the party going all night. The ratio of traditional Scottish music to modern, retro and classic party tunes was perfect, and they even took the odd request - including finishing the night with Auld Lang Syne at our request. Polite and friendly guys providing GREAT entertainment - they will be our first stop for our next big party. Thanks boys - it was all just perfect.

Hello Del - I just wanted to thank you and your team for all the assistance you've given me in getting the concert together. My friend Theresa said it was a great day and that The MacDonald Brothers were absolutely fantastic. The girls all had a great time and they got what we hoped for - a mountain top moment- as we say in Guiding. Please pass on my sincere thanks to Brian and Craig for helping make the occasion such a success. Many thanks again Del

Dear Mr. Cotton - As you know we booked The MacDonald Brothers for my daughters wedding on the 14th November. I would like you to let the boys know that everyone who attended thought they were fantastic. They catered for all tastes and the time they spent with the guests afterward was greatly appreciated. Their contribution helped to make the wedding a great success and I would like you to pass on to them my thanks. Thank you so much.

From the moment I contacted Hireaband, I was well looked after. Knowing Brian & Craig personally there was no doubt I wanted them to sing at our wedding. Gaye was an absolute gem liaising with the guys to get it booked nearly 2 years in advance. The guys were an absolute hit, our guests had the best night and most said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The dance floor was never empty. Thank you!
