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.

For the foreign sign fb local Ukrainians his performances were outstanding. I’ve seen and heard the best pipers at edinburgh tatoo as well as many keen amateurs at rugby events and Burns’ Night in 6 countries. Eugene does a great job especially working on a different and unique play list of specific meaning to my family. Hope he will play at some events for our family in the future.

Based in Innsbruck, Tyrol, Austria (2,824 miles from Abu Dhabi) Kerri Smith - Wedding Photo of The Bagpipes Orchestra (Säckpipsorkestern) The Bagpipes Orchestra (Säckpipsorkestern) "I cannot praise this Scottish Pipe band enough! They helped me surprise my daughter and son in law on their wedding day by playing a rowsing tune just as the church doors opened, and then by leading the wedding party in a short march across the road to the reception. Everyone joined in, the bride and groom danced and it provided a wonderful start to the celebrations! All communications were by email as I live in England and the band were very patient with my requests. If you want something special for your celebration I can highly recommend these wonderful musicians. Thank you for making my daughter's day unique."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring bagpipers is AED900, with prices ranging from AED700 to AED1,600+. 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.
