"Tony was absolutely fabulous. I could not recommend him highly enough. He really made an already wonderful wedding pretty spectacular. "

Campbell hired Tony Hurst The Piper for All Occasions for a Wedding (available in Worcester)

Verified Review, 28 September 2025

"I can’t praise tony enough, he truly did my nan justice during the ceremony, I hired him as a nod to my late grandmother on our wedding day and he truly did us proud. We spoke often on the phone and discussed what songs we wanted to have etc. I’d highly recommend Tony, he’s gentle, friendly and just a loveable gentleman! If I could give him a higher rating I would! Now I’m trying to think of another event I can hire him for 🤣"

FAQs about hiring Wedding Bagpipers in Worcester

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.
