We just wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at my Gran’s funeral today. Your performance was absolutely amazing and truly beautiful from start to finish. The music added something very special and moving to the service, and so many people commented on how fantastic you were.

You played with such professionalism, dignity, and heartfelt emotion, and it gave us great comfort on such a difficult day. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tribute to my Gran.

Thank you again for helping us give her the send-off she deserved. We would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a truly outstanding bagpiper.

My Grandad was piped in by George Taylor. He was brilliant and everyone commented on his professionalism and compassion. Highly recommend George for any event. Our sincere thanks to him.

These guys were recommended to us by MET Wedding Cars and we had a fantastic service throughout. Great communication from Geo in the lead up and then brilliant piping on the day! Thank you.

Both myself and my wife Leighanne can’t thank George at Arkleston Piping enough. Nearly 3 hours away from Glasgow, in the middle of nowhere and with no phone/internet connection but George arrived bang on time looking like a shiny penny. He took the time to speak with us and make our big day even more special by being flexible and personalising our piping needs. George played flawlessly and every guest was extremely impressed. If your looking for a piper then Arkleston Piping are the pipers you should contact. Thanks again, Martin and Leighanne 08/09/18.

I booked a piper for our wedding at the Oran Mor in Glasgow to pipe as our guests arrived. I was running late and the piper stayed to see me arrive. Excellent service with an excellent price. I fully recommend this company. Thanks a million!!!

I booked a piper for a last minute Surprise wedding and was over the moon at the quick response. Gordon the piper was amazing and made the day extra special. Even passers by on the street stopped to listen to his wonderful piping and he was very accommodating for pictures and videos which have now gone round the world to family and friends. I must commend George on his response time as he immediately got back to my request and had arrangements in place within a day. I would heartily recommend Arkleston Pipers for their excellent service. You will not be disappointed!!! Absolutely First Class.

Kenny played at our wedding at the end of July. Arkleston piping provided us with a great service from booking to the day. Kenny played brilliantly outside our wedding venue. He provided a friendly and atmospheric welcome for our guests and started our reception off with a bang! Thanks for everything. We would highly recommend Arkleston Piping.

Kenny played for us at our International meeting event on Tuesday evening at City Chambers Edinburgh piping them into the ceilidh. He arrived nice and early so when some of the delegation arrived early he was ready to go. The delegates really enjoyed his playing. Many thanks it added to a wonderful time in Edinburgh.

I used this company to play at my wedding in August. Excellent service from start to finish. George couldn't have made me feel more at ease than he did, I trusted him to play songs that he thought would be best for the day & I couldn't have been happier! Would recommend 1000%

George was absolutely fantastic after we were let down by our previous piper and I couldn't recommend Arkleston Piping enough! James (our Piper on the day) was professional, friendly and bloody good on those pipes! The boys are still raving about being piped into the venue to The Gael and our guests thoroughly enjoyed every minute of his playing. Thanks so much for helping to make our day so very special.

Arkleston piping are excellent! We booked with them very last minute as our piper took ill. Steven Blake piped at our wedding and went above and beyond. He learned and played a tune written for my Grandpa - it was a wonderful tribute. He was extremely professional. I would highly recommend booking through them - you will not be disappointed!

My husband and I would like to thank Arkleston Piping for the service they provided at our wedding on Sunday at Rowallan Castle. George was extremely helpful with all of the planning and is impeccable with communication. Our piper on the day was Gordon who played our requested songs when entering and leaving our ceremony perfectly. An extremely professional service who we would not hesitate in recommending for any special event. Thank you again!

A Scottish Wedding would not be complete without the sound of the bagpipes - George did a fantastic job at our wedding, a friendly guy and a professional piper and the extra effort to play my new husbands favourite tune added an extra special touch to an already perfect day.
