Hello! My name is Reilly Graham from Judique and I am the owner of Ceilidh Tent & Event Rentals. We are your full-service wedding & event rental company supplying everything you need from start to finish. Whether you are planning a quiet outdoor wedding or a black-tie event, we take great pride in providing people with the highest quality rentals and dependable service. Making every event our top priority!

After high school I  graduated from Power Engineering-Process Operations at NSCC, Marconi Campus. However, soon after graduation from Marconi I found myself purchasing Ceilidh Tent & Event Rentals - a business in which I worked my way up through the ranks. In 2018 I went back to school to further my education in business and started the Business Administration program at NSCC, Strait Area Campus. Halfway through my second year of the Business Administration Program I accepted a job with the East Coast Credit Union as an Assistant Manager for the Port Hawkesbury branch.

Being an entrepreneur at such a young age and experiencing the ups and downs of starting a small business with limited help and experience made me want to help recognize and support other individuals doing, or aspiring to do, the same. It is not an easy task and I think the NextGen/ Unama’ki board will be a great way for me to help recognize and help individuals looking to create their own careers here in Cape Breton/ Unama'ki.
​
Through Ceilidh Tent & Event Rentals I look forward to continuing to make peoples' dream events become reality all over Nova Scotia and possibly even the Atlantic provinces in the future. Living here in Cape Breton, is living at home. It is where your neighbours are your family and friends. And no matter what community you are visiting it feels like home. The opportunities are endless!
