When I walk in playing, your guests stop talking. That's the entrance you're paying for.

Make Your Event Impossible to Forget

Hiring a bagpiper for your corporate event says something deliberate: you care about the experience you're delivering to your guests. Whether it's a gala, product launch, client reception, AGM, or awards night, my entrance — full Highland dress, pipes playing — creates a moment that sets the tone for everything that follows.

I've performed at corporate events for major organisations across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland. I'm reliable, professional, and experienced working with event coordinators, venues, and AV teams. I work around your run sheet, not the other way around.

I typically perform during guest arrival, at the opening of an event, or as a processional to dinner. I'll discuss timing and placement with you when you get in touch — every event is different, and I'll make it work for yours.

What to Expect on the Day

  • I arrive in full Highland dress, on time, every time.
  • I perform as guests arrive, or at the formal opening — your choice.
  • I work directly with your event coordinator or venue so you don't need to manage me.
  • Duration and placement tailored to your run sheet.
  • Available for private cocktail receptions, galas, award ceremonies, and product launches.

Common Questions

How long do you typically perform?

Most corporate engagements are 30–60 minutes, depending on the event structure. A typical arrival performance is 20–30 minutes as guests enter. I'll discuss your run sheet and suggest what works best.

Do you work with event planners and venue coordinators?

Yes, routinely. I'm experienced coordinating with professional event teams. I'll communicate directly with whoever is running your event so nothing is left to chance on the day.

Can you perform indoors?

Absolutely. Bagpipes are loud indoors — that's often exactly the impact clients want. I'll discuss the space with you beforehand so we can plan the entrance for maximum effect.
