"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."

"Roberts music was the perfect touch to a perfect day. Both the highland pipes solo and the trio performing together was awesome. He worked with us and our ceremony plans and provided excellent ideas and professional input. We both highly recommend Robert and his trio!!"

"We wanted a bagpiper for the graveside service of my niece in the Orem City Cemetery. Johnny was simply amazing! His songs were spot on what we had requested. I am still receiving texts about the music for that day. It was a cold, rainy blustery day but there he stood and played magnificently!! Thank you Johnny!!"

"When we enquired if Andrew would be available for my Father's funeral, i was extremly impressed by the personal empathy he has shown in making sure the music was as we would like. I cannot explain the emotions experienced in having Andrew pipe my Father's Hurst arriving to the crematorium , my Father would have loved every second. The sound was pitch perfect, a credit to a true musician, every note resonated true feelings, for which I cannot thank Andrew enough. You only have one chance to say goodbye, and I wouldn't want anyone other than Andrew as my piper to portray those emotions. (10 / 10) Liz Gordon"

"I wanted a special surprise for my wife's 60th birthday party. She's a first generation Scottish immigrant, and has very strong ties to her heritage and family there. At quite short notice, I came up with the idea to find a piper to pipe in the birthday cake into the house like the haggis is piped in at a traditional Burns Supper. Johnny exceeded my expectations and made this a memorable night for my wife, our family, and our guests. He played Happy Birthday and a selection of traditional Scottish songs, including many of my wife's favorites. He also spent time talking about the bagpipes and the traditional kilt, tartan and some of his experiences in playing in competition pipe bands. I highly recommend Johnny if you ever have the need for a piper."

"John was so incredibly professional from beginning to end. He asked so many questions regarding our wishes to make sure to give us the experience we needed. When I didn’t really know what I wanted and wasn’t sure what to even ask for, he offered so many wonderful ideas for my father’s memorial that I didn’t even think to ask. It made all the difference. His performance elevated my father’s Memorial to a whole new level. Everyone felt it was so special. I HIGHLY recommend John. I will absolutely hire him again."
