Photo of Bagpiper Stephen Wilkinson Bagpiper Stephen Wilkinson "My best pick ever! I got beyond lucky when I called Stephen and asked him to play at my dear Mom’s funeral service First off, Stephen answered the phone every time I called him. He is so kind and understanding. He was early for our service and waited patiently while our service was delayed. During that delay, Stephen jumped right in and began playing for all to enjoy. His music hit me straight in my heart and the tears were impossible to contain. Stephen led me through this tough ceremony and was my steady guide. The Angel I needed came with bagpipes thank you so much Stephen W."

Frequently asked questions

The average cost of hiring bagpipers is $240, with prices ranging from $190 to $380+. 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.
