Wedding
in Austin, TX
on 12/22/2012
"Hylton played before my daughter's wedding as we were getting dressed and guests were arriving. We have received so many comments from guest at how they thought it was so neat to have a bagpiper "welcoming" the guests. He did a wonderful job!!! Amanda Worrell"

"Hylton was an absolute pleasure to work with. I hired him to play Amazing Grace as a surprise to my fiance during our ceremony. Hylton was so nice and understanding of the importance of the surprise and went out of his way to make sure it went off without a hitch. His performance of Amazing Grace was so moving that the entire night our guests were coming up and telling us that our ceremony was the most special and memorable one they've seen. I highly recommend Hylton!!"

"Hylton added a special element to our daughter's wedding at the Waco Suspension Bridge. He was professional, gracious, and perfectly carried out our requests. He arrived early and remained discreet until he started the ceremony by piping across the bridge playing "Amazing Grace;" he paused to continue playing from the rear of the seating area, then exited. After the ceremony, he piped the guests across the street to the reception, then returned to the bridge during picture-taking, and finally piped the bride and groom to the reception. He looked and sounded wonderful, and we appreciated having a nod to our family heritage at the wedding."

" Hylton was fantastic. He communicated with me before the event, arrived on time, and was very professional. My friends from Scotland were so surprised and delighted with Hylton's bagpipe playing. He brought tears to my friend's eyes. Later, he posed in several pictures with my friends. This was all arranged on late notice, with great cooperation from Hylton."

"Hylton was great. He performed at our wedding and was perfect. The sound of him tuning his pipes in the background was one of the first things many of our guests heard, which was a great beginning to the event. My wife did a lot of searching for the right songs, and Hylton knew them all. He was in full regalia, which fit the wedding party wonderfully. He was so friendly over the phone, and very professional. I loved that he wouldn't let me pay him until he knew we were satisfied--clearly he hasn't had with customer satisfaction or I don't think he would have been willing to do that. I would highly recommend him for a wedding or any celebration. Thanks Hylton!"

"I cannot say enough good things about Hylton. The Austin Bagpiper played at my December wedding, and he was truly a great find. He was extremely professional, polite and accommodating. He would call periodically to ensure everything was going alright, and he helped me find the right songs for my wedding. His talent is overwhelming, and our guests were extremely impressed. Hylton's wife is very charming, and overall, we could not be happier with our decision to have Hylton play at our wedding. We HIGHLY recommend Hylton Cruickshank. "

"Not only is he talented and gifted playing the bagpipes, he is a wonderful teacher. Hylton is so very patient. I cannot praise his professionalism, kindness and delightful disposition enough. Whenever we need someone to play bagpipes it will be Hylton. He was so accomodating and a genuinely kind person. The children, youth and adults enjoyed Hylton and his bagpipe music. His "tunes" were a meaningful part of our worship service as was he.
Thank you Hylton!!"

"If you can define professionalism and talent in couple of words those two words would be Hylton Cruickshank. He carried the day recently at my daughters wedding and provided the most unique experience any of our friends and family had experienced.
If you have an event this is the man for you. He competes on an international basis and his talent level is at the highest you will find the bagpipe arena.

Funeral
in Gonzales, TX
on 02/07/2011
"Hylton Cruickshank was an invaluable component of my Grandfather's funeral as we conducted his graveside service with Military Honors. Hylton played Flowers of the Forest and Amazing Grace during the service. He is a master of his instrument and played these songs beautiflully. Hylton is a true professional. He responded immediately to my request, made recommendations, was on time and prepared, and responded quickly to last minute changes that we were forced to make. My family is grateful for his services. I highly recommend Hylton to anyone in need of a Bagpiper and he will be my first choice should I require one in the future."
