D. Gregor MacGregor lll

Specializing in Northern Michigan 'Destination Weddings'. Well-known and highly respected by other wedding professionals and vendors on Mackinac Island, and in Petoskey, Charlevoix, Traverse City and other popular venues around Michigan.

40 years' experience. Skillfully intergrating bagpipe music into wedding ceremonies, memorial services, concerts, and just about any setting imaginable. Full-time professional. Always prompt, punctual, and absolutely in-tune. Providing an all-around excellent musical experience.

Different pitch varieties (A-440, Bb-466, and standard Bb-470+) allow accompaniment of virtually any other kind of instrument. I also play Scottish small pipes in 'A' and 'D', tin whistle, and a hornpipe in 'D'.

Past engagements include several performances with The Chieftains, opening numbers for the Glengarry Bhoys, consecration of the site of the wreck of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald aboard the USCGC Mackinaw, performance of Maxwell Davies' "An Orkney Wedding, With Sunrise" with both the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra, in 2006 and the West Shore Symphony Orchestra, this year in Muskegon.

In the past two years, I have performed at all of the following venues, and more: on Mackinac Island: Inn at Stonecliffe, Grand Hotel, Mission Point, St. Anne's, Somewhere In Time Gazebo, Patrick Sinclair's Pub, The Harbourview Inn, The Island House, the Stone Church, the Mission Chapel, and the Murray Hotel; In the Harbor Springs Area: Perry Hotel, St. Francis Xavier Church, Bay Harbor Yacht Club, Little Harbor Club, Vivace School of Arts and Music, MacGregor PHA, Inc. 45th Anniversary Celebration; Charlevoix's Castle Farms, Giuseppe's Italian Grille and on the deck of the Lalapalooza in Round Lake for the Venetian Festival; Treetops Golf and Country Club and the Gaylord Country Club near Gaylord; Grosse Pointe Yacht Club in Grosse Pointe, and at the Greystone Golf and Country Club in Romeo. In Wisconsin, I have played at the Four Seasons Inn in Pembine, the Sayner 4th of July celebration, at the Marcus Center Auditorium in Milwaukee, and at conventions in Rice Lake, Rhinelander and Green Bay.
