Weddings

Bagpipes can be a festive addition to your special day. You may enjoy having the sound of the Highland Bagpipes greet your guests as they arrive. I can pipe you in for the procession, play during the ceremony, or as you depart for the reception. I have played weddings of all sizes in a variety of settings, including churches and historic sites, vineyards, boats, beaches, mountainsides and parks.

The robust Highland Bagpipes are often more fitting for the larger ceremony while the Smallpipes are nicely suited for more intimate ceremonies or for background music during a reception.

Uplifting hornpipes, marches and reels such as Black Bear, Highland Laddy, Scotland the Brave, Duncan Johnstone, and Sheepwife are just some of the celebratory tunes perfect for a wedding.

I can also offer more song suggestions and ways to add bagpiping to your event.

Celebrations

Bagpipes are a wonderful way to celebrate! Both the Highland Bagpipes and the Smallpipes are great for birthday parties, corporate parties, surprise parties, anniversary events, bachelor & bachelorette parties, cultural events, St. Patrick’s Day, parades, and countless other occasions.

I can help you pick music to best fit your special event.

Funerals

I have played bagpipes at hundreds of funerals, memorial services, and celebrations of life. I also have vast experience playing military funerals. I pipe in a variety of settings, including graveside services, churches and chapels, and areas of nature.

Traditional aires and tunes that are reflective, such as Skye Boat Song, Loch Duich, Mist Covered Mountains, Amazing Grace, and Flowers of the Forest have helped generations grieve and celebrate the lives of loved ones throughout Scotland and the world.

I will work with you to create the respectful and honorable experience you desire for your loved one.
