These are the parts of the ceremony when a bagpiper at a wedding is traditionally called upon to play. I also offer the Scottish Small Pipes to pipe you up the aisle to, and during the Signing of the Register.

I’ll play for 30 – 45 minutes before your wedding ceremony starts, to welcome your wedding guests upon their arrival and set the celebratory tone to your day.

If you’re arriving at your wedding ceremony by car, I’ll play as you and your bridal party arrive and while any photographs are being taken. If you’re walking any distance, perhaps from your accommodation to your ceremony venue, I’ll pipe you all the way!

This is one of my favourite moments as a wedding piper, and it’s when all eyes are upon you! Here I can play either the traditional Highland “big” Pipes, or the Scottish Small Pipes if you’d like a softer and more restrained sound as you make your way up the aisle.

The Scottish Small Pipes are ideal for some soft background music to keep your wedding party entertained as you and your witnesses sign your marriage schedule.

This is celebration time, which calls for some brisk and lively tunes while you both walk down the aisle as a married couple with applause from your wedding party!

Here I announce you both, before then leading you through your confetti shower playing some more brisk and celebratory tunes.

At your wedding breakfast or reception I can play at the following times. When all your wedding guests are seated I will play you both to your seats at the Top Table, and in time honoured tradition perform the Piper’s Toast before piping my way out of the Dining Hall.

If your wedding reception is being held at a different venue, I’ll play to welcome you to your reception. When your guests see me, they’ll know where to go. Or if your reception is walkable from your ceremony, I can pipe your wedding party all the way!

If you’re cutting your wedding cake before your call to dinner, I’ll pipe you to the cake and then stop and stand still while you cut your cake and while photographs are being taken. Then I’ll pipe you to your seats at the Top Table.

Here I play you in from outside the Dining Room, to give you a a grand entrance to your wedding breakfast. I’ll play some well known tunes which your guests are guaranteed to clap along to!

The traditional Piper’s Toast and Piper’s Gift to the Bride are must haves! The Piper’s Toast is quite ceremonial and typically marks the end of your piper’s duties for the day. After toasting you, I play my way back out of the dining room, at which point your speeches can commence.
