"Michael was great! Can't thank him enough. He played fantastic music, using our recommended playlists while mixing his own choices. He was a thoughtful MC and helped us with some pretty specific requests to get our family members involved. He was happy to get on a call to talk through the details to make sure we felt confident going into our wedding reception. Many of our guests kept telling us what a great DJ he was! We definitely recommend him. Thanks for everything, Michael!"

"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 "

"An accomplished and excellent piper who has played at our Burns Night celebrations for the past four years. Keith is a true professional and brings the guests together for a wonderful evening of poetry and traditional Scottish fare. Thank you Keith and looking forward to your return to us."

"True Talent - True Professional - Truly great Human-being! Our mother passed away unexpectedly and to our surprise her last written wishes for her funeral service included having a bagpiper. This was a pleasant surprise for our family, however, we didn't know where to start to secure one, (especially on a late Saturday night evening). Johnny Miner and his services had great reviews and his website and credentials were very impressive. I filled out the brief questionnaire, including the date and occasion - thinking I wouldn't hear back until the weekend was over, and to my surprise and great relief, Johnny called me right away and offered his condolences asking how he could help. He'll never know the weight he lifted from our shoulders by being so kind, compassionate, helpful ,and willing to offer his talents to fulfill our mother's dying wish. We opted for him to play as our mother was carried out of the funeral services and into the hurst as well as at the gravesite. By the time we were gathered at the cemetery, Johnny was already in position, dressed professionally in the traditional kilt and clothing showing the upmost respect to our mother and our grieving family members playing a medley of her favorite songs. If you are fortunate to book with Johnny Miner, your event will be enhanced and stress free. He knows what he is doing and allows you to take care of all of the other details in a difficult situation without a worry as to his part. Bagpipe music reaches the soul and emotions like no other instrument can. Thank you for sharing your passion and talents with our family."

"Before our mother passed, her wish was to have a bagpiper play Amazing Grace. Johnny did so much more! As we arrived at the cemetery, he was playing hymns at a little distance. As the pallbearers brought the casket to the graveside, he played her favorite Amazing Grace, and following the dedication of the grave, he played Going Home. Johnny explained to me earlier about the Celtic belief that the soul would stay with the body until after the service, the soul would be led away by the bagpiper to Go home. It was all beautiful and respectful abd would have made my mother very happy. The family was very pleased. My husband (who has no Scottish Ancestors) said afterward that he would like a bagpiper for his burial! Thank you so much for helping to make a difficult day an uplifting experience."

"Johnny played at my grandmother’s funeral services and it truly made the whole thing so beautiful. He played amazingly! I will truly never forget, his talents made it so special. Not only was his playing beautiful but he took my phone call everytime I called, I was surprising my family with him playing and it took a lot of calls on my end to try to make it perfect. He was so kind, caring and on time. 10 stars! I recommend him to everyone! Thank you so much Johnny!"

"My best pick ever! I got beyond lucky when I called Stephen and asked him to play at my dear Mom’s funeral service First off, Stephen answered the phone every time I called him. He is so kind and understanding. He was early for our service and waited patiently while our service was delayed. During that delay, Stephen jumped right in and began playing for all to enjoy. His music hit me straight in my heart and the tears were impossible to contain. Stephen led me through this tough ceremony and was my steady guide. The Angel I needed came with bagpipes thank you so much Stephen W."

"Mr. Minor was extremely professional throughout the whole process. He was at the cemetery for my mothers graveside service well before we arrived and played beautifully. He has a large repertoire of songs and is willing to learn songs if he doesn’t know them. Not at all pushy about money and the price was extremely fair. I of course don’t want to have to call him for funeral services anytime soon, but the next time it comes up I will definitely call him first."

"Johnny played the pipes at my daughter’s wedding. He knocked it out of the park! Total professional. On time, played perfectly, walked, stood, perfectly, dressed perfectly, we could not have been more pleased! Super nice guy as well. Can’t wait for another happy event to hire him again…and I’d hire him for the sad ones too! Great man."
