Professional Bagpiper & Master Of Ceremonies

Piper Package - A Highland bagpiper in Full Regalia A bagpiper in full highland regalia for your ceremony and reception. On duty from 30 minutes prior to the ceremony until the start of your wedding breakfast. Master of Ceremonies - No person or organisation does ‘Ceremony’ quite like ‘The Guards’. From Trooping the Colour, Changing the Guard and being on parade for state visits, the word ‘Ceremony’ is ingrained in my DNA. Couple that with my experience in helping to manage functions and events in the Officers Mess, often hosting Royalty and other VIP’s, and you are provided with the consummate professional. Unobtrusive, well versed in all forms of etiquette and protocol, I am always on hand to deal with any issues or problems that arise allowing you the freedom and confidence to relax, mingle with your guests and enjoy your day. I was honoured to win the 2015 Scottish Vows Award for Music & Entertainment – the first Bagpiper & Master of Ceremonies to have done so, and was a finalist in 2016 and 2017. I was nominated and voted for by customers so you can be sure of an excellent level of service from me. Unfortunately VOWS decided not to carry my category in 2018.
