Regarding Weddings, I am happy to perform at whatever part of the ceremony you may wish and can also make suggestions as to what would be suitable if you are unsure.

The usual format is as follows:

As guests arrive, the piper plays an assortment of tunes 20 to 30 minutes prior to the ceremony

The piper then plays the Bride or Bridal Party down the aisle, known as the Processional. Often the piper leads or sometimes remains at the rear of the Church or wherever the ceremony is taking place. The tune played at this point may be chosen by the Bride and Groom or a recommendation will be given.

During the signing of the register, the piper plays a short piece of incidental music, usually of a reflective nature

Once the ceremony has concluded, the piper will play for the Newlyweds during the Recessional. As with the Processional, the piper may lead or remain out of the way at the rear of wherever the ceremony is taking place. The music played here is usually more upbeat in nature than what is used earlier in the ceremony

As the guests congratulate the Newlyweds, the piper plays an assortment of tunes for another 20 to 30 minutes

If the reception is at the same location as the ceremony, the piper will often lead the Newlyweds to their table. If this is required but the reception is sometime away or at another location, extra cost may be involved.
