Paying Homage to Tradition to Create an Event Experience


Few instruments are steeped in as much tradition as the bagpipes. As soon as a San Francisco Bay Area bagpiper plays the first few notes of a song paying homage to distant Celtic lands we cannot help but be transported there, brought by our imagination’s romantic notions of Scotland and Ireland. Rolling green hills, hazy heather moors, watching a velvet sunset against the Lake of Loch- it is of little surprise that so many of us are enraptured with fantasies of stealing away for the length of a song, or two, or more.

For events to remember a Berkeley or San Francisco-serving bagpiper can help to bring that sense of romantic wanderlust to your guests perfect for a wedding or engagement party. In fact the Wedding Walk of Scottish tradition has a piper lead a formal march followed by the maid of honor with the bride just behind with the best man with tradition stating that the wedding procession should be sure to cross running water twice to ensure good luck for the union. 

From merry joining of two people to love to more somber gatherings the sounds of the Scottish highlands tug at our heartstrings from funeral marches to military wakes. With a variety of musical moods including Gaelic culture’s traditional distinguishing styles of Ceòl Mór and Ceòl Beag translating to “big music” and “little music” respectfully your traditional Berkeley bagpiper can help assist in selecting the best set list for your event’s unique needs.

Rest assured that when relying on classical heritage and its traditions with your next gathering or event being accompanied by a celebrated bagpiper you will have helped to create a memorable experience they’ll cherish for years to come.
