Such a wonderful experience, can't thank Alan enough!
Katie L booked AK Piper for their Wedding in Shropshire
“Having Alan piping my new husband and I out of the church was such an amazing experience - the cherry on top of a wonderful ceremony! Very professional and easy to communicate with and, most importantly, a great piper! Thoroughly recommend.”
fantastic piper, really made the wedding special
Simon J booked AK Piper for their Wedding in Shropshire
“I will never forget the moment my bride to be walked in to Highland Cathedral on the pipes - absolutely brilliant. Alan was flexible and patient as we faffed about a bit after the ceremony working out what to do with the guests while we had our photo's taken. In the end he piped 150 down through the village to the reception venue - people are still talking about it today! Thanks Alan!”
