Wow! Should I Consider a Bagpiper?
The bagpipe adds a unique and wonderful flavor to a wedding ceremony, especially if you have Scottish ancestry.
Because of the sheer volume of the bagpipe, the instrument is usually only used for the processional and/or the recessional. Oftentimes, if a bagpiper is employed, he or she will play outside before and/or after the ceremony. If the wedding reception is nearby, the bagpiper can even lead everyone down the street to where it is held. Be sure, however, that you have a permit from the city to do that! For the processional, the bagpiper can come down the aisle playing a a couple phrases until reaching the front and then the organ can join in when the bride enters. For the recessional, the bagpiper often lead the wedding couple down the aisle. The most popular pieces for the processional and recessional with bagpipe are "Highland Cathedral" and "Scotland the Brave". The bagpipe can play a piece by itself without accompaniment but if the organ is available, it can add a dimension to the bagpipe that absolutely makes the spirit soar!
