General Information
Each wedding is very different, so I like to discuss with the bride
and groom, or whoever is making the arrangements about the plans for
the big day, and to make sure you receive plenty of ideas, hints and
advice on some of the options available, making your special day
traditional, unique, and individual
I have over thirty years piping experience, having played in various
local Pipe bands as well as the Army, and have been providing
professional wedding services for many years .
