Latest reviews of our Wedding Bagpipers
"Chris piped and played the piano at our wedding in Citation. Overall the experience was fantastic, Chris had a list of songs that we chose from, which he accommodated without any issue. In the lead up to the event Chris always responded promptly. On the day he played both instruments brilliantly, and there were no issues. It was ideal having a performer who could play both instruments and it made our lives easier. We would highly recommend Chris for any event."

FAQs about hiring Wedding Bagpipers in the UK
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.
