Price lists
Understandably, bagpipes can be a mystery to most people. I would love to help you create a meaningful musical interlude for your ceremony or party. Please contact me to ask questions about the best places to add bagpipes to an event and what tunes are usually appropriate. If you have always heard the pipes in your mind while envisioning your special day, I will make sure they can be included at a price that fits your budget. The following lists are just guidelines to give an estimate as you begin the search for a bagpiper.

Providing drinks and meals for the piper during events will be considered when discussing fees, and negotiation is always possible, so please do not hesitate to offer a reasonable affordable amount for your family and budget. Many times you may only need a few tunes played, but the time commitment for a piper to don a kilt, travel to an event, tune up, and play can still be significant.
