Photo of Bagpiper for Weddings Bagpiper for Weddings "Good afternoon Major Dirk, I can’t thank you enough for your wonderful music performance. You are truly a brilliant Piper! At the grave the family was crying that you’d played so amazingly & that Peter Protoulis must have smiled joyfully having you play at the funeral. I’ll be keeping your details & hopefully we have a celebration for you to play at but will also recommend you to everyone who asks me about the best Piper. Many thanks Dirk…Being born in Edinburgh & having attended several Military Tattoos, I rate you as the best solo Piper I’ve heard! Warm regards, Lisa" Based in Cape Town, Western Cape (34 miles from Paarl) 3rd June 2026 Lisa Memorials - Lisa Photo of thecypruspiper thecypruspiper "Hi Kevin Thank you so much for making our Day sp special yesterday. You did an amazing job and everyone (including lots of other guests at the hotel) thought you were fantastic. So many people came up to us afterwards and said how much they thoroughly enjoyed hearing you play the bagpipes and loved watching the ceremony. Our guests thought you were brilliant and Graeme and me are so pleased you could play again for us. Thank you. I hope you enjoy your special day as much as we enjoyed ours.

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring bagpipers is R4,000, with prices ranging from R3,250 to R7,500+. Rates vary depending on the length of the performance, travel distance and whether the booking includes ceremonial piping, background music or both. Many pipers also offer options such as traditional Highland dress or specific tune requests.

Many clients book bagpipers for weddings, Burns Night celebrations, funerals, corporate events, graduation ceremonies and sporting occasions. A piper can provide a dramatic entrance for the bride, pipe in the haggis at a Burns supper or add a sense of ceremony to formal events.

Most bagpipers perform for 30 minutes to one hour, though this varies depending on the event. Bagpiping is physically demanding, so sets are typically shorter than those of other musicians. Many pipers can perform at several points during an event rather than in one continuous set.

Most bagpipers are happy to perform both indoors and outdoors. However, bagpipes are naturally very loud, so indoor performances may be more suitable in larger spaces such as halls, marquees or churches. It is worth discussing the venue with the piper to ensure the volume is appropriate for the setting.

Booking as early as possible increases the chance of securing your supplier's availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged bookings for clients with just a few hours' notice.

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% booking fee to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.
