The playing at the church and at the reception was exceptional but the 'piping in' as they came into the wedding breakfast was amazing!... thank you again for taking a late booking and for giving such great service, if anyone is looking for a 'piper' when they book a wedding with me I would be very happy to recommend you!
so many people commented as to how his music had contributed in terms of atmosphere and a sense of ceremony
