"Alistair was amazing! I would highly recommend him for your wedding. We eloped on The Storr and even in the wintery cold he played for us and was incredibly helpful with the other details in the ceremony."
Harley hired Alistair Mackay for a Wedding (available in Windsor)
"We had a half English half Scottish wedding at Hedsor House in Taplow and I decided it would be a great addition to have a bagpiper. I searched everywhere for someone to fill the role for my daughter’s wedding and I found Ian. What a fantastic man, he was so professional, helpful, kind and talented. I discussed the day with Ian and he made useful suggestions to incorporate his music into the day. Ian played outside (during storm Bert) welcoming guests into the venue, such a treat for everyone. He suggested the music that would work for each section of the wedding, piping the bride down to the ceremony room was such a great idea. I’m not Scottish so I really needed someone with Ian’s knowledge to guide me through the timings. The outstanding moment was when he piped the new Mr & Mrs into the wedding breakfast room and stayed after they were seated to pipe a couple more well known tunes, the Scottish guests were beyond delighted. Everyone said how wonderful Ian was. I think everyone should have a bagpiper on their wedding day and I cannot recommend Ian highly enough. He made a day to remember and we will absolutely use him for our future family weddings. Thank you Ian "

FAQs about hiring Bagpipers in Windsor
Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore
Can any bagpiper play my favourite song?
Professional bagpipers will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that bagpipers may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the bagpiper's song list on their Encore profile.
How much time do bagpipers take to set up?
Your bagpiper will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the bagpiper prior to their arrival.
My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?
PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our bagpipers are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our bagpipers will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
