    When we chose a piper for our wedding we were lucky to find someone whom had a youtube channel of his playing. This made it possible when we were choosing songs to not only hear the song, but to actually hear how he sounded playing it. Another thing you can try is to ask the piper if he can also play the penny whistle, for portions of the ceremony where we wanted to still have music but not such a powerful sound our piper did this and it was a great addition.

    Thats a wonderful idea. I love the feadog and I've had one for years but never took the time to learn to play it. That would be a great addendum to the ceremony! Good idea!

    I had a piper for my wedding this July and I have worked with him on Law Enforcement week for the National Park I work for. He is the leader of Fort Smith Fire Dept. so I have hear him play first hand. He played all the songs I wanted him to play beforehand at the park. If you can go and listen to the piper you want at a special event they may play the songs you are interested in for you there. Here is a picture of Tery Graves, our piper for the wedding.
