Weddings
A Highland Wedding is not complete without a Highland Bagpiper!
I have piped for weddings at Leu Gardens, Cypress Gardens and many of the area churches, as well as many resort hotels and outdoor settings.
Bagpipes are perfect for outdoor weddings since they don't need electricity and are portable.
My uniform for
weddings is formal highland evening wear with the Prince Charlie jacket and
dress sporran.
Some of the most requested tunes for weddings are:
Skye Boat Song - Mothers' seating
Lord Lovat - Groom and Officiant
Simple Gifts - Bridesmaids
Highland Cathedral or Ode to Joy - Bride's processional
Come by the Hills - Unity Candle, Rose ceremony or meditation time
Mhairi's Wedding or Scotland the Brave - Recessional
These are the most popular and have proven to work well, however I have many other tunes from which you can choose. On your wedding day, I am very flexible to your needs and treat every wedding with the special uniqueness it deserves. I am committed to providing professional service and above all, keeping it very simple for you.
Except for leading in the bride and groom, I do not recommend playing at the reception. The pipes have one volume, rather loud, and people want to talk and celebrate.
