"Thank you so much for playing on our day. All of our guests were so impressed and thoroughly enjoyed the piping! They particularly loved all the attention they got when you piped them over to Timberyard! You showcased to our guests from other areas of the country/world some of our Scottish traditions wonderfully - thank you. We will be sure to recommend you to anyone looking for a piper for their day! Thanks again, Jodie and Ollie "

"Just to say thank you for playing at our wedding recently. It added something different for the guests and everyone has said how much they enjoyed hearing the bag pipes. Of course it was traditional for myself and my family but you made my mother and father's day! I was born in Scotland but moved to Wales when I was 5, my father never wanted me to forget my roots so he would play pipe music on our old record player. Many thanks again and I wish you all the best Sarah "

"Each year, our elementary school holds a Music March Madness event where we explore a variety of musical styles and then vote each week to see which songs will move on to the next round! After weeks of learning and voting, “Fight Song/Amazing Grace” by the Piano Guys came out on top! With bagpipes being a key element in this fantastic piece, we thought it would be a great experience for the students to hear a bagpipe performing at school! To help in this celebration, Johnny Miner welcomed them to school with his incredible skill on the bagpipes out on the playground while the sun rose in the sky! The students danced, cheered, and for many of them, were able to hear a bagpipe live for the first time. He also taught them about how this instrument works and let some of them experience it up close. Johnny was great to work with. He communicated with us in a timely manner, answered our questions, and arrived early to be ready for the event. If we ever need help from a bagpiper in the future, I would love the change to get to work with Johnny Miner again! It was an unforgettable experience for our school community!"

"We just wanted to thank you so much for playing at our wedding recently. As my family are Scottish a piper was always something I wanted and when we came across your site my dad thought you were brilliant. Having then lost my dad only very recently having you there was all the more poignant. The moment I heard you play when I was in the bridal suite brought me to tears. It was so very special. You are a complete professional and communication was fabulous from start to finish. Having you pipe us into the wedding breakfast and presenting you with the traditional quaich made our wedding so much more special. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to others. Thank you so much."

"As my siblings and I were assisting our father with planning out his memorial services, he had requested bagpipes be played. I began searching Google for pipers in my area and found 4 different providers. I emailed each one individually and within minutes of sending those emails Johnny was calling my phone. The way Johnny interacted with me over the phone and spoke with so much reverence and respect for my father, someone Johnny had never met, won me over almost instantly. Johnny acknowledged his availability on the day of the memorial services and then helped walk me through different ideas and musical numbers during our chat, he provided his pricing and explained every single detail possible so that I was fully informed of my options. I took notes and explained I would reach out to him after the family had made a decision on who we would select. I only heard back from 2 additional providers and they both were more expensive than Johnny and offered the same services...Johnny kept in contact with me very professionally, he wasn't aggressive or pushy, he simply checked in and asked if I needed anything or had questions before we had made our decision. Once we had verified that we wanted Johnny to be our piper, he checked in with me daily a couple of days before the day of the memorial services and verified he was ready and honored to be involved. The day of service Johnny arrived early, looking extremely proper and professional in his attire. He performed 2 musical numbers for the service and did such an amazing job, it was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect tone for what we were trying to accomplish. I could not ask for a better experience. After the services concluded, Johnny joined us graveside to pay his respects for my father, expressed his condolences to me and my family and expressed his gratitude for being in attendance, and being able to perform. Johnny is a fantastic guy and possess top shelf musical talent. There is no way you could have a bad experience with this guy. I have every intention of finding other events that we can hire Johnny for, because he is that great. He knows his stuff and demonstrates extreme pride and professionalism in everything he does. Johnny - thank you again for everything! I look forward to seeing you again. Please know that I don't give 5 star reviews to anyone, I don't feel that it's fair. To get 5 stars leads us to believe we have reached perfection and we lose our motivation to improve, change and work hard. Your 4 star review from me means I am beyond pleased with you and your services, but I don't have any feedback on what you could have or can do better. But I encourage you to always be mindful and to take consideration of how you can improve, change or work harder, because that's how all of us become better. Stay safe and keep well! Cheers!"

"Johnny did a fantastic job at my father’s funeral. He was very easy to work with and the songs played were perfect to show the respect and reverence that my dad deserved. This was by far THE COOLEST funeral I’ve ever been to."

"I believe it was a tender mercy I was able to connect with Johnny, the bagpiper, at the passing of our mom. He was compassionate, professional, and created a musical selection that helped convey our feelings of sorrow and loss to reverence and respect as we said our final goodbyes to our beautiful mother. His inspiring bagpipe music helped us connect memories old and new and made the graveside service feel more personal, spiritual, and meaningful. We are forever grateful for the comfort his talents gave to our family and friends. It was the special touch our family needed to say "fare thee well" dear mom, until we meet again. I would highly recommend Johnny for any service or function."
