Celebrate your wedding in style!
For centuries bagpipers have played for weddings in Scotland, Ireland and throughout Europe.
Elegant and stately, the instrument heralds the marriage ceremony with music that speaks to heritage and tradition as few other instruments can.
Make your special day memorable with the powerful, stirring sound of the Great Highland Pipes.
Legend of the Scotch Thistle National Flower of Scotland
Legend tells of a Viking invasion long ago. As the Vikings approached a Scottish castle under cover of night, they stepped into a field of thistle in their bare feet and yelled out
in pain. Their cries awoke the soldiers encamped outside the castle and the attack was thwarted. Since then, thistle has been the national emblem of Scotland.

"The wedding turned out absolutely beautiful & all of the musicians did a wonderful job. I was very impressed with your work and highly enjoyed hearing you play.
I hope you enjoyed the wedding as much as I did. By the way, the bride's mother made a point to tell me afterwards how great the ceremony music sounded."
