Definitely added an extra special something to our wedding
Emma B booked James The Piper for their Wedding • July 2023
“Could not recommend James highly enough. He piped for our guests arriving at our wedding and piped us up and down the aisle too. He was friendly, professional and gave us lots of great advice to help us decide on exactly what we wanted for our day. He looked and sounded fab and having a piper definitely added an extra special something to our wedding. Our guests loved it too! Thanks again for adding to the magic of our special day”
