• Christian's performance was awesome. He arrived early for the wedding and allowed time to talk with us about exactly what we wanted. Christian was very receptive to the vision we had for his role in the ceremony. He also spent time talking with our family and guests and in no way was viewed as an outsider. Christian was very friendly, genuine and professional and made our special day even more special by being there. We HIGHLY recommend Christian to anyone desiring a great piper.
