How do I hire a bagpiper for my wedding?
Call us at 508-947-4383 or use our Contact form and we can schedule your date and/or answer all your questions.
Why hire a bagpiper? Many people chose to hire a bagpiper for their wedding because they have Scottish or Irish ancestry, although many with no such ancestry hire a bagpiper or bagpiper and drummer, due to the sheer pageantry and grand
celebration that the proud music of this instrument inspires. One does not need to be Scottish or Irish to enjoy the special touch that the bagpipes will add. Many years ago, we had a bagpiper at our wedding, and friends and family still bring it up and how very much they enjoyed that touch!yo
Hiring a wedding bagpiper:You have a choice of one, two or three bagpipers, a bagpiper and drummer, or a mini-band combination of these musicians.
