- Michael was wonderful! He stayed in touch with me continuously the week before the wedding & made the day extra special when he played before & after the ceremony. Thank you so much! We all enjoyed your music. -- Jamie G, Beachwood, NJ, 5/16/2009
- Michael Bell is a great performer; his performance made the party. He spoke to me several times regarding what we were looking for in the performance. He suggested selections that would be suitable for the occassion. Great experience. -- Jean W, Vineland, NJ, 5/30/2009
- Our Castle Dangerous Bagpiper was right on time and from the moment he donned his kilt and began his march up our tree lined drive, my father (celebrating his 80th birthday) crooked his neck to listen to the sweet sounds of the bagpipe as he approached. Upon entering the patio, my father stood to show respect to Michael, our bagpiper. Michael finished his tune and shook my father's hand and stated that it was an honor to play for him. And so began a truly wonderful evening... -- James B, Shamong, NJ, 7/25/2009
- Could not have been more professional or more accomodating. Was there early, stayed later, took pictures w/ anyone who wanted. The bagpipes sounded fantastic, and was truly enjoyed by everyone. Made our wedding experience special. Much thanks ans appreciation.
