Ex military bagpiper and master of ceremonies with over 40 years experience – a unique fusion of two very distinct and valuable services to make your day as special as it should be.
Most brides and grooms in Scotland will choose to have a bagpiper perform at their wedding. Many brides and grooms however simply don’t realise what a huge difference a good Master of Ceremonies can make to their big day. The main reason for this is that many venues disregard what a Master of Ceremonies can do and instead provide you with a ‘free’ one. At most venues of course you don’t actually get a free Master of Ceremonies, what you get is a member of staff (usually the Duty Manager) who is tasked with making your announcements – also whilst ensuring food service is on time, the bar is running properly and several other jobs. This means that they are not fully focused on you – the Bride and Groom – especially in a busy hotel where he or she might be the only manager on duty.
That’s where I step in. My duty as Master Of Ceremonies is to effectively run the day, to liaise with the venue management and be on hand for the bride and groom throughout the day. I have created the unique Skirls Aloud Gold Package - Bagpiper and Master Of Ceremonies – a unique fusion of two very distinct and valuable services to make your day as special as it should be.
Gold Package
A highland bagpiper in full highland regalia for your ceremony and a master of ceremonies in white highland formal dress for your reception. On duty from 30 minutes prior to the ceremony until the end of the first dance. As master of ceremonies my job is to make sure the wedding runs as smoothly as possible, taking the pressure off the happy couple and allowing them to forget about the practical concerns of the event and focus on having a good time.
