What an incredible choice of musicians we had for our wedding in Scotland, coming from Arizona for…read moreour wedding in May. Cleveden was referred to us from Harmony Bagpiping and it was a great decision! Allison and her dual mother-daughter team were amazing and even went above and beyond to help us with our trip prior to coming, suggesting things to see and places to go! Now for the wedding day - they were at St Conans Kirk all set up and ready before we got there - then, my bride was running late but they kept on improvising and were just fine! They worked so well with me on the ceremony outline and the numbers that were chosen, even altering to match our bride-down-the-aisle song of Love of A Princess. Afterwards they went to Barcaldine Castle to setup and waited patiently as we were running late due to photography and the such - but they were more than happy to oblige! They played our first dance song and then played different numbers throughout the meal and then performed a mini-concert for us after that was done based on my asks for that - mostly numbers from musicals. They got into the act with the theme from Pirates of the Caribbean donning pirate hats and having rum! Such a great atmosphere and quite the characters! Then at the end they had us sing Auld Lang Syne and the theme from Outlander, but in the original verses - - - cannot wait to get that video!! Such a wonderful group of young ladies who stayed with us throughout our entire day and were great people to boot!! Thank you so much, Allison and team, for helping making our day beautiful and special with your patience, friendship and musical ability! If you want a down to earth and feel like you have known someone forever, we suggest you reach out to Cleveden - you will not be disappointed! Heidi and Paul Murphy Surprise, AZ

The Carnegie usually has a band or act on at the weekend and Monroes bar often has local bands playing, the cafe is open during the day providing good value teas, coffess, cakes and hot food.

"Cinema" Good but only 3 screens. Sometimes will show more arty type movies instead of mainstream. Try to avoid the Theatre screen as the chairs are uncomfortable and very little leg room :-( "Food" I've only eaten here once and it was good, most of my friends would recommend it, so a big thumbs up from here.

It was a really good show & I would recommend them to any pub landlord doing a 70's night. The atmosphere & sense of joy they were able to create on stage is spectacular, I was completely taken aback by the entire show. Excellent.
