They were great
We booked Thistle Piping for our wedding and they were great. They were very quick to reply to messages and gave us lots of options and advice for the day. On the day we had Brian who welcomed guests and piped us back up the aisle and in to our reception. He was fantastic and would thoroughly recommend Thistle Piping.

Highly recommend
We hired Drew for our wedding at Comrie Croft! Drew was great and very easy to communicate with. I wasn't sure what pipping songs to have for the wedding and he was really helpful! Very talented and even stood out in the rain to pipe the guests in for arrival. True professional - Highly recommend! Thanks Drew!

Drew was a great choice for our wedding at Crieff Hydro! Quick to respond to our request & couldn't have been more helpful in the lead up to our big day including suggestions on the music choices for each part of the day. On the day, timings were perfect & contributed to making our day very special to us. Couldn't recommend him highly enough. Mr & Mrs McKay

I can't recommend you enough.
Drew piped throughout the day of our wedding at Glamis church and then at Kinnettles Castle. The piping was perfect and it was so nice to be able to select the music we wanted. The guests loved it and I can’t recommend you enough. Thank you for adding to our special day.

Both fantastic guys on the day.
We cannot thank Drew enough for playing at our wedding last weekend at Kinnettles Castle. Himself and drummer Stephen were tremendous all day. A pleasure to deal with before the wedding and both fantastic guys on the day. All of our guests commented on how good you both were and having the piper and drummer package really added something a wee bit different. Thanks again guys and all the very best from us both.

What is your most memorable wedding?

Seriously too many to choose from, I will single out a wedding on the Isle of Mull, it was too wet for the planned Beach wedding. So I was given directions to a roofed viewing platform in a forest overlooking a waterfall. I arrived in time to meet the groom and children and helped dress the new location. The wedding was so unique and intimate in a magical setting. Only the Bride, Groom, 3 children, the celebrant, photographer and myself present. A wee reminder of how you lucky we are invited to be part of such an important and emotional life event.
