 How best to use a piper on your wedding day:

	As a surprise 'wake up' call on the morning of your wedding.
	At the ceremony venue - before, during and after the service.
	During the photographs - to keep guests entertained!
	Welcoming your guests to the reception venue.
	Piping the bride, groom and top table guests to their seats.
	To announce the speeches or to mark the cutting of the cake.

Wedding 'wake up' call:


What a wonderful surprise as your 'spouse-to-be' is awakened by the stirring sounds of a Scottish piper on the morning of her or his wedding ...... and your neighbours will enjoy finding out that your special day has truly begun in style! The heart-rendering sounds of our piper drawing attention to the fact that this is the day you are starting the journey to the rest of your life.

You'll also be following in Royal tradition. It's a rarely known fact that the Queen is awakened by the sound of the Scottish pipes every morning whenever she is residence at Balmoral Castle.

 Piping the bridal car:

You may also want to consider 'piping the bride' as she walks from her front door to the wedding car. This is a particularly popular request - and again you'll be the talk of your street.

Wedding venue:

Your guests will be welcomed to your church or venue by the lilting, inviting sounds of the Scottish pipes. Our pipers are always immaculately presented in the very best kilted, uniformed regalia - as is fitting for such a great occasion. If you wish, we can include a full plaid with polished Cairngorm brooch in our uniform. Indeed, we can even wear a head-turning, full-sized feather bonnet at your request!

Arrival of the bride:

Once your guests are seated, the piper then proudly announces the arrival of the bride in a beautiful, inspiring and uplifting manner.

Your piper can play the bride down the isle with any tune, although generally the 'Wedding March' or 'Highland Cathedral' is the most popular choice. This makes an enchanting and interesting alternative to the more conventional wedding organ music.

Ceremony pipe music:

During the ceremony there's a variety of wedding pipe music that you can choose . Some of our classics include, 'Silver Threads Among the Gold', 'Ave Maria', 'Highland Cathedral', 'She Walks Through the Fair' and 'Lark in the Clear Air' - to name but a few. Be sure to discuss your requirements with us in advance and we'll do our best to fulfill them.

Would you like to be 'piped' during the signing of the register or when you leave the ceremony and walk to your wedding car? Our pipers will be happy to play the pipes as and when you want them played at your venue.

Wedding Reception:

Imagine your guests arriving at the hotel or reception venue whilst the stirring sounds of your bagpiper fill the air? As they enter, we'll entertain you with enchanting melodies such as 'Highland Wedding' or 'Mairi's Wedding' whilst you enjoy your pre-dinner drinks and canapes. Our wedding bagpipers will add an inspiring, romantic atmosphere as your reception and entertainment proper starts to unfold.

Your wedding day is all about great 'memories in the making' and the unique sounds of the highland pipes will certainly add that special something to your continuing celebrations. Dressed in full regalia, our piper will play tasteful background music that is fitting for each stage of your reception.

Want to include our piper in photographs?


Remember that our bagpipers are approachable and are more than happy to have their pictures taken at any time during the day - at no extra charge. Indeed, you may want to include our piper in your official wedding photographs or in the DVD footage. That's fine with us! Scottish Wedding Pipers pride themselves in being sociable and accommodating and we love nothing better than to socialise and share our knowledge of piping when asked to do so. Some of our most memorable wedding feedback has been from our non-Scottish guests. Contrary to popular belief, the English do love the pipes!
