Weddings

With regards to tune selection, most of the piper's repertoire is kept traditional. The majority of the most common and recognisable piping tunes date back decades, even centuries, and often have their roots tied to various Scottish Regiments.

For piping in guests, both Simple and Compound Time Marchs are typically used. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Caber Feidh,

• Highland Laddie,

• The Barren Rocks of Aden,

• The Dundee City Police Pipe Band,

• The Heights of Dargai,

• The Green Hills of Tyrol,

• Scotland the Brave.

For the entrance of the bridal party down the aisle, it is common for a slower tune to be chosen. "Highland Cathedral" and "Amazing Grace" are both popular choices; however, more unusual requests, such as "The Rose" by Bette Midler, or Elton John's "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", have previously been played and well enjoyed. Upon the exit of the ceremony by the newly-weds, an upbeat and lively tune is typical - "The Black Bear" or "All the Blue Bonnets are over the Border" are always solid choices. A tune, or set, of similar style to the ceremony exit is chosen for piping at the reception - this is usually a set of 6/8 Marches, Reels or Hornpipes.

All of these suggestions noted above form a typical Base Wedding Package. Of course, if there are any special ideas you have in mind out with this usual script, suitability, timings, and pricing, can all be discussed.
