The bagpipes are a wonderful compliment to your wedding ceremony! Some couples choose to have the pipes played only for the processional or recessional while others have the piper provide the music for the entire ceremony.
Choices include:
- The Groom's entrance (sometimes a surprise gift from the bride)
- Seating of the Mothers
- Bridesmaids processional
- The Bride's processional
- Unity Candle / Sand Ceremony
- The Recessional
- During the receiving line
- The newlywed's "get-away" as they enter the limousine heading to the reception
A piper may also be requested to play at the wedding reception. Choices for the reception may include:
- Welcome arriving guests
- During a portion of the cocktail hour
- Announce the arrival of the newlyweds by piping them to the head table
- Pipe a dance for the newlyweds and/or wedding party
