A typical wedding day schedule for a piper is as follows:-

Sample Schedule:

- Piper arrives at the venue for the service approximately 30 minutes before the ceremony is due to start.

- Piper plays as guests arrive.

- Bride arrives and the Piper plays her into the venue.

- Bride & Groom are played out of the venue and the Piper is available for photographs or plays through the photographic session.

- Piper then travels to reception venue (if different from the ceremony venue) and plays as guests arrive.

- Piper plays in the Wedding Party to their places at the top table.

- The piper leaves unless there are any special requests such as playing in a haggis course. Piper goes hame exhausted!
