Feedback
- He arrived to the event early and was very accommodating to us and did whatever we needed because of the fact that the event was very hectic. I would highly recommend him to others and for the same event for next year. -- Stacey G, Hamden, CT, 4/5/2008
- Durant played at our wedding and was great!! We truly enjoyed having him as part of our day! We would tell anyone looking for a piper to give him a call without hesitation! -- Shannon V, Middletown, CT, 9/14/2007
- Durant was great. It was a rainy day and he piped his heart out, despite the weather. Many of my guests commented on how great it was to have a bag piper at the wedding, it really gave the event a sense of significance. -- Allison H, Guilford, CT, 11/8/2008
- Mr. McCurley did a beautiful job at our wedding. We had a lot going on and he was very flexable and accomadating. Thank you Mr. McCurley for making our special day even more perfect! -- Helena O, Guilford, CT, 5/20/2007
- Mr. McCurley's music provided a wonderful welcome to guests arriving at the reception. From the minute the guests stepped out of their cars, they could hear the festivities had started.
Thank you, Mr. McCurley! -- Carla W, Waterford, CT, 7/12/2009
- Durant is awesome and so accomodating. We had him for Burn's night and our Sunday morning church service. Talented, professional, and a delight to have with us. We would hire him again and recommend him to anyone. -- Nancy S, Southington, CT, 5/5/2007
- I had Durant play my parents 50th anniversary party and he was outstanding. Durant was more than I expected, he was a big hit with not only the adults but especially the children. When he came marching in playing the 200 plus people stopped, listened and enjoyed his playing. Thanks to Durant again.

- Durant was great! We asked him last minute to attend the rehearsal at the church and he was very accomidating. The day of the wedding was so special for us to have him there. My husband and I received so many compliments. He came along to the reception and had a good time with all our friends and family. Thank you again Durant for making our wedding day so memorable.
Vincent and Kate Gustavson -- Kate D, North Branford, CT, 6/10/2006
- Durant was great. He was a pleasure to work with from the start. He helped pick the music for our wedding by making suggestions as to who should walk to what. In the end, it was our decision, but his suggestions were very helpful. He arrived early and played for our wedding and cocktail hour even though the temperature was about 98 degrees. He was very friendly with the wedding party and the guests. If we're ever in need of a piper again, we will call Durant. We highly recommend him for any event. Thanks again for helping to make our wedding spectacular. Michael & Kim. -- Michael P, Tarrytown, NY, 6/26/2007
- Durant was great, he arrived early, was very generous with his time and some special requests. I would highly recommend him and will be sure to use him again the next time we need a piper! -- Craig M, Haddam, CT, 5/13/2007
- It was indeed a special touch to have Durant McCurley play for my daughter's wedding. It was especially beautiful to hear him while we were experiencing the receiving line outside the church. It was difficult to hear him when he played inside the church and what we heard was somewhat squeaky, but outdoors was absolutely wonderful!!!!! -- Susan B, Manchester, CT, 7/8/2006
- Durant was a perfect compliment to our daughter's wedding! His playing was wonderful, personal appearance - excellent, professional manner - spot on, and his willingness to accommodate our requests - seamless and intuitive. Durant certainly added something very special to the mood and setting to help make it a perfect day...thank you Durant! -- Cathy S, Ridgefield, CT, 9/27/2008
- Durant was absolutely wonderful, and was so helpful in making this a surprise for my new husband. All of our guests at our wedding were surprised as well, and they all told me that the sound of his bagpipes was truly a special touch. I can't thank him enough for his time, his talent, and especially for making my wedding ceremony one memory that I will never forget. Thank you Durant!
