So, I swear this will be my last bagpiper question!!! As I mentioned in a previous post today, I booked with one. Prior to today, I had spoken with several others, all of whom said that they never provide contracts, there is no money due until the day of, (it is inexpensive) and they just show up the day of and perform and get paid then. Well, seeing as everyone provides a contract or something of the sort, I feel uneasy. If I had not spoken to several who all said the same thing, I would be VERYuneasy, but they all shared that in all the years they have been doing this, they never have used contracts. So, finally my question...for those of you who have used a bagpiper, was this your experience as well? And, was everything okay in the end? I really appreciate any feedback...Thanks so much in advance!!!

Thank you!
Any other ladies who booked, would you be willing to share who you are using and what they are charging you? I really only need them for right before or right after the ceremony. Not both....

well thats what matters....we are paying them to provide a service, and if that includes a written contract of confirmation, u are owed that...easiest way to piece of mind... im glad it worked out!

Re: Bagpiper Contract???
I am using Pat Martens from EventPiper.Com and we do have a contract. I definitely wanted one being that I am getting married St. Pat's weekend! I didn't have to ask him, he just sent it to me! He's awesome and very easy to work with, not to mention he is very cheap!
