About

If you hired us to perform, you’d experience lively, heartfelt Celtic music delivered with warmth and energy. Our ensemble blend traditional fiddle tunes with swing and pop standards, keeping things both authentic and accessible for every audience.

Ceilidh dances are interactive and fun, with a caller guiding everyone through the steps so no experience is needed.

If you hired us for your event, you’d receive professional, flexible service tailored to your needs—whether it’s elegant ceremony music, upbeat background sets, or a full evening of dancing. Ensembles can be arranged from duo to quartet, ensuring the right fit for your space and budget.

For couples, I also offer symbolic Celtic handfasting woven together with live music (not a legal officiant), creating a meaningful and memorable moment.

The Occasionals is a company based in Guelph, Ontario.
