Roddy was brilliant to have at our wedding. Our non-Scottish guests particularly enjoyed the piping. We loved Roddy's cheeky banter, piping up the aisle, and hanging around to pipe us through to dinner was all fantastic!

Booked Roddy from the reviews I read. We were not disappointed both my husband and I were in awe with Roddy’s choice of tunes. Our wedding guests felt important when being marched dow The Royal mile. We all gave Roddy 10 out of 10. We highly recommend Roddy for your special day.

Roddy played at the very beginning of our wedding weekend greeting guests upon arrival at the Archerfield House. His music was well chosen, played perfectly, and he was warm and delightful to each of our guests. He set the exact tone I was looking for to start the weekend. I only wish I could have kept him the whole time! Thanks Roddy!
