The NYC Piper

The NYC Piper provides live bagpipe music for organisers planning weddings, corporate functions, memorials and private celebrations in New York City and the surrounding area. Based in Manhattan, the performer travels to events across the tri-state region and beyond, and can be booked for occasions ranging from intimate ceremonies to large public gatherings.

Music can be selected to suit the event, with a broad repertoire spanning Scottish and Irish tunes, traditional wedding pieces, patriotic music, hymns, seasonal songs and familiar favourites. Organisers can discuss particular requests in advance, making it possible to shape the performance around a procession, ceremony, reception, formal dinner or remembrance. Smallpipes are also available for settings where a gentler sound is more suitable.

The service is designed for planners who want a distinctive live musical feature without needing to arrange a full band. The piper can perform at venues and churches throughout New York City and is experienced in adapting to different locations and event formats. For larger or more theatrical programmes, Highland and Irish dancers and drummers may also be arranged, subject to the organiser's requirements.

From a brief musical entrance to a performance woven into several parts of the programme, organisers can discuss timing, repertoire and attire ahead of the event. This makes the service relevant to wedding planners, corporate event teams, community organisers and families arranging milestone occasions or memorial gatherings. The NYC Piper offers a specialist live music option for events seeking a traditional Celtic sound, delivered by an experienced New York-based performer.
