Latest reviews of our Wedding Bagpipers in Huddersfield

"Such a sad day made so profound by having a very professional outstanding piper to lead the hearse. It meant so much to everyone there. You looked amazing and sounded fabulous. An experience none of us will forget. Thank you from all who came. Absolutely blown away. "

Kathryn hired Bonnet & Bearskin for a Private event (available in Huddersfield)

Verified Review, 23 January 2025

"I'm so glad we picked Craig to be the Piper at our daughter's wedding he was the consummate professional from start to finish. From the very start nothing was a bother to Craig, anytime we messaged him he replied very quickly. We weren't sure what we wanted played so we left the decision to Craig. When we read his we knew this man knows his profession inside out and we trusted him completely for her big day. Craig made the day truly magical especially for our American groom and guests. We are so glad we choose Craig and wouldn't hesitate to use his services again "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Bagpipers in Huddersfield

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.
