Featured as one of the The Knot's 'Best of Boston' wedding musicians in 2009
What better way to enhance one of the most important and memorable days of your life than to have bagpipes playing as your guests arrive at the ceremony? How about having a piper play at the reception when the bride and groom make their grand entrance? Adam will be happy to work closely with you in selecting the music to best suit your needs.
If you are planning an outdoor ceremony, hiring a piper to perform the ceremony music (processional, recessional, moment of silence or unity candle) is a great alternative to having recorded music, and cheaper than most trios or quartets. It is also a MUST for the traditional Celtic themed wedding.
For church ceremonies, a piper is typically hired to perform outside the church for 20 to 30 minutes prior to the ceremony as guests arrive and the bride enters the church. The piper will then play for another 20 to 30 minutes after the ceremony during the recieveing line and as guests depart. If you choose to have the piper perform at any point during the ceremony, it is best to check with your clergy to see if your church allows this option.
Whether your ceremony is in a church, in your backyard, on a ship, or barefoot on the beach, Adam will happily perform wherever your wedding venue may be.
Looking to outfit the groom or groomsmen in kilts? Visit Celtic Isles in Westford, Massachusetts for Highland outfit sales and rentals.

"I wanted to say thank you for your wonderful performance the day of our wedding. I was actually sad when I arrived - I wasn't able to stop and say hello to you and finally meet you! Our guests are still talking about how wonderful you were. Thank you for making our day so special. If there is ever an opportunity for me to provide a reference for you, please let me know." -Rita S.
"I am not sure if you remember me, but you played at my wedding in June 2005. I still have people talking about my wedding and you're always referenced - almost 5 years later! In any case, I hope things other than that are well. Let me know if I can help in any way in terms of a reference or anything. I realize it's 5 years later, but still! :) "- Heather W.
