You were Amazing! Thank you so much for everything you did for us yesterday. You played a major part in the day and everyone was commenting on how professional you were! Piping me in front of the car to the church in the pouring rain was definitely going the extra mile which I wasn't expecting! Your right about Jenson, however you gained a fan with Josh who couldn't stop telling me about the piper and playing the pipes! Again going the extra mile! We would highly recommended you to everyone! Thank you again!
Mr & Mrs Matthews!!! Xx

You went far and beyond our expectations, from piping the wedding party across the street, stopping the traffic on the way....then the toast and the quaich speech was lovely. Coupled with being a true gentlemen and offering to stand in to walk me down the aisle, you're a star!!! Thank you.

Brenda & Gordon Davies, The Busby Hotel, March 23rd 2015
It was a pleasure as always seeing you again and especially listening to your excellent piping skills!! Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the day, even when the pipes bring a tear to the eye, nothing quite as moving as the bagpipes being played very well. To anyone looking to book a piper I would certainly recommend you without any hesitation!! As he goes beyond just piping with his pipers toast and the use of his ceremonial sword for cutting the cake, little extras that make your day even more memorable!!! Thanks again. All the best.
