Bagpipe Wedding Service
The bagpipes create an unforgettable atmosphere for a wedding day. Whether you want a striking entrance, a memorable recessional, or music as your guests gather, a wedding bagpiper adds a real sense of occasion and a touch of Scottish tradition and elegance. I play at weddings across Suffolk, Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire, always in full Highland dress, and I'll happily tailor the music around your plans.
Typical wedding options include:
- Piping as your guests arrive
- Piping the bride, or the wedding party, into the ceremony
- Piping the newly married couple back out
- Playing during the register signing, confetti or photographs
- Piping through the drinks reception
- Announcing and leading guests into the wedding breakfast
Every wedding is different, so we can choose the moments that suit your day. You're welcome to pick the key tunes and leave the rest to me. There's more in my bagpiper questions and advice.

Where I play
I pipe at weddings at venues right across East Anglia, including:
- Suffolk: Hintlesham Hall, Copdock Hall, Woodhall Manor, Butley Priory, Brome Grange and All Saints Hotel in Bury St Edmunds
- Essex: Layer Marney Tower
- Cambridgeshire: Madingley Hall and The Cambridge Belfry

This is only a selection. Wherever you are marrying, I'll travel to it.
Booking your wedding piper
Weddings are often booked a year or more ahead, so it's worth getting in touch early to secure your date. You can reach me by enquiry form, email, WhatsApp or phone, and I'll always talk through your plans and give you a clear, no-obligation quote.
“Peter played at our wedding, welcoming guests at the church and giving us entry and exit music. At the reception he played while moving around the garden, creating a wonderful atmosphere. Peter made our day very special and everyone loved the pipes, thank you!” Robin C
