Pine Tree Piper: John DaggettWhen it comes to bagpipe performance, there is a world of flexibility to explore. No two events, whether a wedding celebration or a birthday celebration, are exactly alike.

A bagpipe performance can be custom created to fit in appropriately with your event. The music selection, as well as when the music is performed, are both things that can be changed and molded in order to better accommodate your event.

Although bagpipes can be played at almost any event, the following is a list of the most popular events in which bagpipes are sounded:

  • Wedding Ceremonies – Bagpipes have been played at weddings for centuries! A bagpipe performance at a wedding may include playing before the ceremony begins as the guests arrive, as the bridal party enters in the processional, during the actual ceremony between one of the stages, during the recessional, or outside during the receiving line. Pipes can be played as little or as much as you would like during a wedding ceremony, once again, all of the choices and modifications are up to you!
  • Funerals & Memorial Services – The solemn, mournful, and respectful sound of the bagpipe is something that is found present at many funerals and memorials around the world. Hymns, such as Amazing Grace, Going Home, or The Skye Boat Song are songs that would be very appropriate to honor an individual’s life through a bagpipe performance. The way bagpipes churn and strike up emotions cannot be explained……… Once again, a performance can be created that contains just the right amount of music for you and your family.
  • Parties and Birthdays
  • Some Other Event??? - Please let me know your creative ideas! There is absolutely no restriction on how and where bagpipes can be used!

I take pride in being able to offer bagpipe music of a high quality, as well as being able to work 100% with you in order to create a long lasting memory. My ultimate goal is your satisfaction, I will accept nothing less.
