Piper For Hire NI - Northern Ireland's Only Specialist Wedding Bagpiping Agency

Picture this: your guests fall silent as the first notes echo through the air. Hearts quicken. Cameras lift. This is the moment your wedding transforms from an event into an unforgettable experience.

Piper For Hire NI is Northern Ireland's only specialist wedding bagpiping agency, creating magical moments that stop hearts, lift cameras, and stay with everyone present for years to come. With nearly 30 years of experience and a trusted network of exceptional pipers, we bring unmatched expertise to your most important day.

Every booking is personally overseen by founder and coordinator Brian Reynolds, giving you complete peace of mind from first enquiry to final encore. We work closely with you to ensure every cue, tune and moment fits seamlessly into your day, whether you have specific tunes in mind or prefer to leave it entirely in our hands.

Our pipers are highly skilled professionals, many of whom compete at championship level, including current and former World Champions. For many, piping is their full-time career, not just a hobby.
