There are many ways to add a piper to your day. A piper can play as much or as little as you wish. Here are some ideas:

  • Welcome Guests - a wonderful welcome for your guests arriving at the church or registry office, and sets the scene for the day.
  • Pipe the Bride down the Aisle - as an alternative to an organist, why not walk down the aisle to the regal sound of the pipes.
  • Pipe the Couple out of Ceremony - continue the regal theme with the piper escorting the happy couple out of the church or ceremony.
  • During Photos - to entertain the guests and complete the proceedings. Don't forget to have your photos taken with the piper too!
  • Couple leaves for Reception - as you leave and head for the reception, have the piper play you off.
  • Welcome Guests to Reception - the piper can welcome you and your guests to your reception.
  • Pipe Newly Weds to Top Table - finish off the formalities with piping the couple to the top table at the reception meal.

This may seem alot but choose only what appeals to you.
