Micheal was absolutely great at our wedding! He was very flexible and willing to work with my mother in law and the priest. Everyone commented on how fantastic he looked and what a great addition to our wedding he was. The music was even better than I had hoped - his talent and professionalism were remarkable. I would more than recommend him to anyone looking for a unique and beautiful addition to their event!

Michael was so accommodating in providing not only the music we had selected, but also in suggesting additional ways to incorporate the bagpipes into both the ceremony and the reception. Family and friends were enthusiastic and unanimous in their compliments about our piper!

Michael was a pleasure to work with, and he didn't leave a dry eye in the house when he closed the service with Amazing Grace. Michael traveled 3 hours to perform for our mom's service...and we greatly appreciate it. He was wonderful! Thanks Michael :-)
