Q: Will the act provide all necessary equipment, such as sound systems and lighting?

Most bagpipers are self-sufficient and come equipped with sound systems suitable for standard event settings. However, for larger venues or events with over 300 guests, additional sound equipment may be required to ensure optimal audio quality. We recommend discussing sound system requirements directly with your chosen act to confirm their setup meets your event's needs. Some bagpipers also offer lighting systems, though this may incur an additional charge. Alternatively, they might recommend a trusted third-party supplier to provide lighting for your event. Be sure to clarify these details during your booking discussions.

Q: Can I contact multiple suppliers at the same time?

Yes, either add suppliers to your favourites and contact them all at once, or use the find a supplier wizard .

Q: How much do bagpipers cost?

The cost of hiring bagpipers can vary significantly depending on the type of supplier. The average price is currently $223. Budget-level suppliers may be available for as low as $50, while top-tier suppliers can command prices as high as $499.

Q: How do I book and when do I pay?

Contact the supplier you are interested in booking by clicking "Contact Now" on their listing. Discuss your requirements using our messaging system or join a video meeting (like a Zoom-call) to speak face-to-face. Once you are ready to confirm your booking, simply ask the supplier to send you a contract, which you can agree to online, or request amendments. Once you agree to the contract you will be asked to pay a 10% deposit to confirm the booking, with the balance payable directly to the supplier by the due date you've agreed on.

Q: Do bagpipers perform outdoors?

Many bagpipers are open to performing outdoors, but it’s essential to confirm this with your chosen act. Outdoor performances can be affected by weather conditions such as wind, rain, or extreme temperatures, which may impact the performance and the instruments. If you’re planning an outdoor event, ensure you provide a stable, flat surface for the performers and have a suitable cover or shelter in place to protect them and their equipment from unexpected weather changes. Discuss these details with your act in advance to ensure a smooth performance.

Q: How far in advance do we need to book?

Booking bagpipers as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many suppliers also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.

About these Bagpipers

If you're looking to add something unique to your event, consider finding a bagpiper for hire near you! Looking resplendent in their highland attire (or possibly a military uniform) bagpipers will recite traditional music like "Scotland the Brave", "Green Hills of Tyrol" or "Flower of Scotland" as well as well-known tunes like "Amazing Grace".

How much does it cost to hire a bagpiper? Less than you might think. Most will provide you with a unique quote. They will factor in travel distance, performance time and what type of event you are planning. A wedding piper, for instance, might provide you with a quote for performing at the wedding ceremony, with the option for additional performances. Popular dates, such as Burns night, will book up long in advance, so make sure to get in touch with any prospective act promptly.
