Cost
The basic quote for the attendance of a piper is $200 to $300 depending on performance type and travel time, but talk to me first.

I am experienced at what I do and can fit in with your requirements at short notice. I know the general approach to weddings, funerals and most events; however if you require me to attend a rehearsal or additional personal meeting then this may incur added cost.

If I am unavaiable I will book, find, or advise you of another piper in your area.
