Wedding Tips

When is the best time to have a piper play?

Before the ceremony

A piper can announce the arrival of the bride and maybe have the piper march down the aisle playing a tune or two. Highland cathedral or Amazing Grace are good tunes to use(I have played these tunes accompanied by the church organ with great effect)

During the service

Playing during the ceremony, this can be nice keep it short and sweet. One tune during the signing of the register.

At the end of the service

Have the piper start playing outside the church when the guest are leaving. The piper should play for approximately 15 minutes. Have the piper play a fast and lively tune while the bride and groom enter the limo.

Playing at the reception

During the cocktail hour a solo piper can blend into the room or gardens and provide background music for your guests. When your guest are seated, it is nice to have the piper escort the bride and to their seats while playing tune, "Marie's Wedding" is a good tune.

The Highland Piper

A piper can make a pleasant addition to a special occasion.Your guests will be quite surprised when they hear a piper or pipers marching into the reception hall!

Choice of music

The piper will have a good selection of tunes that he will play.Ask if you have a special request. A waltz played while the bride and groom dance by themselves is popular.

Fees

Piper have different fees. Several factors may influence the fee. Expect to pay extra fees for pipers that have travel longer distances to perform at your function. Playing time - is a factor. When requesting a piper to play at the ceremony and at the reception,several hours of time may be needed to be set aside to perform at both. Please contact me to discuss pricing further.
