Because weddings often fall on busy weekends, booking a few months ahead is recommended.
Bagpipes can be included at several key moments throughout the day:
From A Recent Wedding
Ryan was great! From the initial conversation, he was very straightforward, professional and easy to work with. He helped guide us in the playlist and was honest in the realities of the instrument. When it came time for the event, he arrived in plenty of time and was dressed for the part. Most importantly, he played beautifully and really added to the fun of the ceremony.
How far in advance should we book a bagpiper for our wedding?
Most couples book three to six months ahead, especially for peak season dates between April and October. Earlier is always better to secure your preferred date.
What does a wedding bagpiper actually play?
The most popular selections include Highland Cathedral, Scotland the Brave, and Amazing Grace. You can also request specific tunes, and Ryan is happy to learn new pieces with enough notice.
Can you play at both the ceremony and reception?
Absolutely. Many couples book the piper for the full day, covering the ceremony processional, post-ceremony celebration, cocktail hour, and grand entrance to the reception.
What does the bagpiper wear?
Full Highland dress regalia, including kilt, sporran, Prince Charlie jacket, and Glengarry bonnet. It adds a striking visual element to photos and video.
Do you coordinate with our wedding planner or venue?
Yes. Timing, cue points, and logistics are confirmed directly with your planner, coordinator, or point person so everything runs smoothly on the day.
