He was so welcoming and professional from the moment we met him, and made me feel calm, and his performance was truly unforgettable. We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing he was. Thank you, Conway, for making such a special moment even more memorable!"
Sophie hired Conway Hunter Bagpiper Hire for a Wedding (available in Slough)

"We hired Torquil for our wedding this summer, and he was incredible! As a Scottish person who has listened to a lot of bagpipes, he was one of the best. He was really accommodating with our song requests, and his rendition of Thunderstruck by AC/DC was one of the highlights of the day! We cannot recommend him highly enough, 10/10. "

FAQs about hiring Wedding Bagpipers in Slough
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.
