10 Best Bagpipe Songs for a Wedding | 2023 Wedding Music
Музыка
We're up in the highlands with this video! We've picked out the 10 most popular tunes which our bagpipers perform at weddings to help provide you with inspiration!
The sound of the bagpipes are truly timeless: the immemorial sound of Scotland. Bagpipes are a mainstay of Scottish weddings, and are usually played to pipe in the bride to ceremony. A wedding bagpiper can also play as guests arrive.
If you’ve not yet booked a bagpiper for your wedding ceremony and you’re looking at having one, we’d recommend taking a gander at some of the fantastic bagpipers available to book on Encore (encoremusicians.com/hire/bagpipers).
And do let us know which tune was your favourite in the comments below!

I like how each of these songs sounds like they were played on bagpipes.
Scotland the Brave. Always my favorite.
Great inspiration for my upcoming wedding in Scotland. Thank you!
Hearing the Pipes echoing round Lindsfarne Castle while walking my Daughter up the ramparts on her Wedding day was the most emotional moment, absolutely wonderful, especially hearing Mairi's wedding (traditional) Peter, Master Piper from Eyemouth will always have my admiration and thanks.

A lovely memory Graham - thanks for sharing!
500 miles! A standard at my family's wedding receptions!
My niece wanted bagpipes for her wedding and the ceremony was in a chapel with a nice organ. She asked me to help with the music (I’m a professional violinist) so I found two pipers that came to play Highland Cathedral with the organist. They arrived early and carefully tuned to the organ, placing little pieces of Scotch tape (haha, I just realized that’s funny!) on the holes of the chanter to change the pitch slightly. I was super impressed! It’s way easier to tune a violin than a bagpipe! At the end of the ceremony, they began playing Highland Cathedral, then the organ joined in, and the pipers led the bride and groom down the aisle to their music. It was magnificent!
"She moved through the fair" absolutely amazing

I want bag pipes and drums at my wedding
Fun fact: Me and my wife got a scotland themed wedding and we actually hired bagpipers for the ceremony and stuff... But I stumbled on this video one week AFTER the wedding :D Though, the bagpipers were amazing and they did the third of the songs in here :p

Hey don't worry about small little details , the world is becoming more humanly screwup. Laugh a little
There are no "Songs" on bagpipes. Songs, by definition, have words.

A fair point, Jim! We chose the word 'songs' because we noticed that people online tend to search for 'songs' rather than tunes. Our CEO is a Scot and I myself (the author of the title) am a whistle player, so you be sure we wouldn't refer to 'bagpipe songs' in other contexts!
