Wedding Bagpiper

Some suggestions as to the services a piper traditionally provides at a wedding:

  • Piping while guests arrive at the venue
  • Piping in the bride
  • Piping out the newly wed couple
  • Piping in the top table

Doug will provide a dignified and traditional salute without becoming the centre of attention. The focus of attention should always be the bride and groom. Contact Doug to discuss your individual requirements, choice of music, schedules, etc.

Funeral Bagpiper

Scottish highland bagpipers have traditionally played at funeral services of all types as a means of showing respect to the deceased. Doug can carry out a variety of dignified duties at the place of worship and final resting place with a selection of traditional laments.
