There Is Always A Place & Time For Bagpipes!

The sound of the bagpipes really sets the feel for your event. Interestingly, the sound and the physical presence of the instrument. increase the experience level. Because of the melody of the chanter and the "hum "of the drones, the sound has a 3D feel. As a result, the close-up experience of a live bagpiper is impressive and memorable.

In addition to the unique sound, the proper look and attireof a professional bagpipe player brings a great visual for the observer. For example, a wedding bagpiper really adds excitement and energy to the ceremony.

Often, a bagpiper for hire can be a surprise for all the wedding guests. The piper can play with other common instruments like a church organ. Singers can also join in with the bagpipe sound. Also, the bride and groom can have a grand entrance to the reception following the bagpiper through the guests for the first time.

Bagpipes Can Be Solemn

Funerals, graveside and the “celebration of life” ceremonies are solemn times Tradtional Scottish funerals sometimes include a bagpiper for hire. In some cases, when a family is searching online for a piper, they look for “Bag pipers” or “Bag pipes players”.

There is a good reason to consider a graveside bagpipe player. Notably, there is rarely any music at the gravesides. Usually the majority of music resources happen at the church or other service venues. In some cases a harp or bugle may be at a graveside service to close out the entire memorial.

Additionally, some ceremonies occur on boats at sea. Often ashes are spread on rivers and lakes with bagpipes performing at just the right time. Interestingly, calling the Neptune Society is a good family resource for planning a sea or water ceremony.

Besides cemeteries and water locations, private homes and the wilderness are sometimes used for funeral services.  We perform at airport hangers and navy bases including Point Mugu Naval Air Station. Almost always, the tune by John Newton “Amazing Grace” is requested at the end of all these services, as mentioned above.

Bagpipers Can Be Fun

Surprisingly, the bagpiper and a “Singing Telegram” have a lot in common. As a result, adding a bagpiper at just the right time can pump up the volume at a birthday party. Also, a themed corporate event can get a boost from a couple of bagpipers and drummers. St. Patrick’s Day is a crowded time for the bagpipe players. Party planners should consider booking early.  Because most of the good and talented bagpipers are hired annually. Also think ahead for New Year’s Eve and summer weddings. Some of the best weather weddings happen in Southern California in Los Angeles and Ventura counties. Since the temperature is so ideal for most of the year, outdoor bagpiping is a nice touch to fill the air.

Recently, there has been an increased interest in bagpipers for golf charity events. Currently our group covers annual bookings for country club members day. Interestingly, events are held at many world famous golf properties. Locations include North Ranch in Westlake Village and Lakeside country club in Studio City.
