The Piper

No wedding in Scotland would be complete without a piper. We chose to have Mr. Michael Pretsell, from Edinburgh Pipers play for us on our special day. Booking online was easy and convenient, and PayPal is accepted.


Michael Pretsell

Michael's performance was absolutely perfect. An accomplished piper, Michael played a wide selection of traditional Scottish songs, including my personal favorite, Scotland the Brave. Here are a few more pictures of Michael on our wedding day (25 May 2005, in The Royal Burgh of Peebles, Scotland). Click on the Pictures to view them at full size.

Leading the Procession

Michael actually led us all around Peebles: first from the Tontine Hotel to the Office of the Registrar, both on the High Street; then (probably a mile or more) down to the river Tweed and back into town, stopping, of course for pictures. The entire wedding party agreed that Michael's pipe music was the thing that most made our wedding day special. So if you are getting married or having an event in or around Edinburgh, I would recommend highly hiring Mr. Pretsell to perform for you. You won't regret it!
