Wedding Bagpipe Music

I can play any traditional bagpipe tune and many modern ones for weddings. You can pick your favourite tune for specific points of your wedding, or I can help help you find the right one for you. My bagpipes are tailored to you. 

When Bagpipes Play at Weddings

Here are some points during your day that I reccomend having the pipes for your wedding. You can have the bagpipes for one, some, or all of the following.

  • As Guests Arrive

  • Down the Aisle

  • During the Schedule Signing

  • Back up the Aisle

  • Drinks Reception Entertainment

  • Piping You to the Top Table

  • Evening Entertainment

"James played at our wedding on 26.10.23 at Venachar Lochside. He was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Not only was his piping outstanding, he was such a calm and friendly presence. He really went above and beyond, playing out on the jetty at Loch Venachar and staying for photos with our guests. Everybody loved him and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Outstanding ❤️" - Esther Fentiman

My Uniform

I wear traditional highland wear often called "Number One's". This is undoubtably the best uniform you can get as a piper and with my attention to detail and military upbringing, impecable presentation is guaranteed. I wear two tartans: Blue (Black Douglas), and Red (Black Stewart). If you would prefer one tartan over the other, please do let me know and I will wear your prefered tartan especially for you.
