With over 30 years of experience and performances at weddings across the UK and Europe, I specialise in bringing the unforgettable sound of the Highland bagpipes to your special day. Every wedding is different, and I work closely with each couple to create a performance that perfectly fits your vision — whether it's playing for the arrival of your wedding guests, a traditional bridal entrance, a lively drinks reception, or a heartfelt tribute during the ceremony.
I offer a choice of tartans in different colours and a full regimental Highland dress tailored to suit the style of your wedding. For indoor venues where acoustic pipes might be too powerful, I also offer a professional electronic bagpipe setup, ensuring authentic sound at any location.
While I love playing traditional Scottish tunes, I'm equally happy to perform contemporary Scottish music, novelty tunes, and even pop songs — if it can be played on the pipes, I'll make it happen! My aim is always to create memorable, joyful moments that you and your guests will never forget.
Known for my friendly, flexible approach and attention to detail, I'll be there to support your day from first note to last — adapting seamlessly to any last-minute changes and making sure everything runs smoothly.
