Seamus Mackay Piping Full Description

Based in the Isle of Harris, I provide professional solo piping for weddings, funerals, private/corporate events or any special occasion.

I regularly perform for weddings and understand how important timing, presentation, and professionalism are on such a meaningful day. I’m punctual, easy to coordinate with, and experienced in working seamlessly with venue staff, planners, and photographers to ensure everything runs smoothly. My goal is always to enhance the atmosphere of the venue while giving couples and their guests a memorable, high-quality experience.

Bagpipes add a distinctive and elegant touch that many couples are looking for, especially for arrivals, recessions, and cocktail hours. By recommending me, you’re able to offer couples a trusted, reliable musician who reflects positively on your venue and contributes to a polished, stress-free event.

He made our special day that even more special

I could not recommend Seamus enough for any event that you are doing. He made our special day that even more special by being the boy he is and every one of us know that he is going to be a very gifted and sought after piper in the future.

His playing was the perfect touch to our day

We had Seamus play for our wedding in October, and would 100% recommend him. He's very talented, easy to communicate with and his playing was the perfect touch to our day.

We really couldn’t recommend him enough!

Seamus piped for us at our wedding on 21/3/25 and we couldn’t be happier with our choice! He played beautifully outside the church in Tarbert as well as for the bridal party processional and exit from the church. He also piped us into our reception in Stornoway. Seamus was so helpful during the planning and on the day itself and were delighted he was part of our day, we really couldn’t recommend him enough!

Thank you so much, you really were fantastic!

Seamus piped at our wedding last summer and he was absolutely incredible! He met with us before the wedding and no request was too much for him. He even piped us through Main Street Tarbert! What a talented guy. Everyone at the wedding commented on how brilliant he was. I would highly recommend him. Thank you so much Seamus, you really were fantastic!

Seamus was super responsive and accommodating

From when we first got in touch, Seamus was super responsive and accommodating. It was so lovely to see how much he cared about making sure we had the best possible experience on the day. His performance on the day was absolutely wonderful - we gave him free rein with the tunes and were so glad we did. It was a real pleasure to have Seamus with us and we would 100% recommend him for any similar occasions where an experienced, friendly and talented piper is needed!
