Services may Include:
• Guests Arrive to the Ceremony:
As your guests begin to arrive before your ceremony, a bagpiper performs to greet them at the entrance to the wedding site/church, serving to draw the
wedding guests to the wedding site. The seated guests within the wedding site are also entertained as they await the beginning of the ceremony, and
listen to the majestic bagpipes in the distance.

• Prelude:
The bagpiper can perform ceremony music within the church or wedding site, or from outside. Performing very ceremonial songs like "Ode to Joy",
"Highland Cathedral", or "Irish Eyes Are Smiling" serve to alert the guests that the ceremony has begun. Some popular wedding ceremony songs are:
Mairi's Wedding, Ode To Joy, The Bridal March or "Here Comes the Bride", Highland Cathedral, The Minstrel Song, The Flower of Scotland, Green
Hills of Tyrol, Green Grow the Rashes or Irish Eyes are Smiling.

• Processional:
The mothers of the bride and groom, the bridal party, and the flower girl proceed down the isle to the ceremony music.
•Unity Candles/ Unity Sand/ Hand Fastening Ceremony:
The bagpiper may perform a selection of slower, reflective music, which accentuates the lighting of the Unity Candles and helps to slow the tempo of
the ceremony down for everyone to enjoy.

• Recessional:
After the newlyweds are introduced to the guests following the kiss, the bagpipes strike up with a festive and rejoicing song (often "Scotland the Brave",
for Scottish wedding couples, or "The Rakes of Mallow", for Irish couples). The bagpiper may lead the newly married couple up the aisle at this time, or
immediately follow behind the newly married couple up the aisle, or the piper performs stationary.

• Postlude:
Often the bagpiper leads the guests out of the wedding site along with the newly married couple, and ends up outside the wedding site in front of the
guests. This serves to draw the guests outside the wedding site, where they will be entertained with lively traditional music as they await the newly
married couple's first appearance from the wedding site, or for the receiving line. Piper can also lead the guests over to the cocktail hour in a long line
- tell your ushers to tell guests to "follow the piper".

• Reception:
The bagpiper may lead the newly married couple into the reception, which makes a great impact. You may also have the bagpiper forgo this
introduction, instead simply having him perform for your guests as they enjoy their cocktail hour.

• Piping of the Meal:  
The piping from the cook station of a whole roasted animal or haggis – this service is additional,
however is fun for all at the reception.
