Piping Services Scotland Full Description
Piping Service Scotland primarily provide pipers, but we can generally provide all types of Scottish entertainment for your wedding.
From arrival, down the aisle, back up the aisle, into the reception, and lead in you and your top table to dinner. Trust us with the Scottish element of your big day.
Piping Services Scotland was founded in 1996 with the main aim of professionalising something that is exceptionally difficult but was viewed as something to ask for a favour.
Prices range around £300 but can be a little more or less dependant on date and venue, but we offer a 20% discount through Bridebook.
If you go for midweek, it will start a little less as, but there are a handful of premium days in a year (5 major competitions, Hogmanay etc.).
We offer at least 4 different outfits, (but we have also been seen in ethnic and costume).
Both partners Andy & Iain have personally attended over 2500 weddings EACH, we have other vastly experienced performers and some top students.
We also have full-time office staff to assist you with getting everything just right!
Every single booking is fully guaranteed.
You can trust a business with experience.
