Services Offered:

Funeral Service: Bagpipes at funeral service are powerful, emotional, and memorable. My typical service includes playing prelude as people arrive at the graveside, again as the pallbearers carry the casket to the grave-site, and again at the end of the service. Traditionally, the piper will slowly walk away into the distance while playing. This symbolizes leading the soul home and is always a powerful moment. Additional options include playing at the chapel or funeral home at the service itself. This could be a special musical number during the service or leading the casket to the hearse at the conclusion of the service. Although these options are typical, each event is unique and I will work closely with you to make sure my performance is exactly what you are looking for. Some traditional tunes for a funeral service include Amazing Grace, Danny Boy, Be Still my Soul, Abide with Me, Going Home, Scotland the Brave, Skye Boat Song, and Flowers of the Forest just to name just a few. Audio samples of these and others can be found on my profile page. These are just a sampling of the many tunes in my repertoire. I would be happy to discuss the musical selection with you to ensure that it's what you are looking for. I also love taking special requests. If the song can be played on the bagpipes I will learn it!

Weddings: Bagpipes at a wedding are a traditional and memorable way to celebrate your special day. There are many different options on how to incorporate bagpipes into a wedding including playing the bride down the isle during the processional and/or recessional, playing wedding luncheon, as a surprise or planning musical number during the reception, or as part of the grand exit at the end of the night. These are just a few option, but the possibilities are endless! Some popular tunes for weddings include: Highland Cathedral, Scotland the Brave, or a lively jig! There are many other options that I would be happy to discuss with you.

Parties, events, educational events, etc: Bagpipes can make any event one you will never forget! From birthday surprises, to family reunions, golf tournaments, retirement home recitals, church events, school demonstrations, corporate events, and everything in between. The possibilities are endless! I would love to discuss your event with you. Have played at over 1000 events, I have done just about everything you can imagine. I would love to see what you have in mind and offer suggestions based on my years of experience as to what has worked well to make an event memorable and special.

I look forward to working with you and being your personal bagpiper!
