"Thank you for coming along to Lauren's birthday bash in Ludlow and welcoming all the family with your playing. It was a lovely surprise for her and all the others, to be greeted by the sound of the bagpipes and a well-dressed piper. With the compact acoustics of the venue, playing just two pieces was perfect. The little girl of six, who is sensitive to any kind of loud sound, also enjoyed seeing a piper welcoming everyone. Knowing that you do travel, I will certainly be very happy to recommend you to anyone looking for a musician to entertain at an event. I hope our paths will cross again. With Very Best Wishes, Len"

"We had a fabulous time listening & dancing to Victors tunes. He was so accommodating that he looked up some songs that are near and dear to my family‘s hearts and he played them just as he said he would. He was on time and very professional. I would definitely recommend Hampton Pipes & Drums."

"It was a 90 degree day and the Reunion was in a banquet room where the air conditioning just couldn't keep up - most of the time it was in the 80s inside the place - awful! But John came in his beautiful Scottish attire and played for about 4 hours on and off - always positive and a fabulous attitude and looked fresh as a daisy! He was so professional and friendly and did a great job - playing everything at just the right time! We were all very impressed with his talent and his performance made the event a huge success!"

"Amazing wedding bagpipes Stephen’s performance on the pipes was perfect! He helped me create the perfect moment walking down the aisle arm in arm with my dad on my wedding day, a moment I’ve dreamed about my whole life. Many people came up to my husband and I after the reception and remarked how good the pipes sounded. Stephen was great to work with throughout the entire process as he provided skype sessions for us to work out which pieces he would play. The pipes were a unique and touching aspect of my wedding ceremony that I will never forget. Thank you Stephen! Natalie Herrera"

"We were fortunate to book Dave for my Mom's memorial service. We have deep Scotch-Irish heritage in our family - hearing Dave play the classics so beautifully in the church and later at the cemetery provided a great sense of comfort for my family on this emotional day. I will not hesitate to try to book in the future. On time, handled a memorial like a pro, played so well. THANK YOU, DAVE!"

"Amazing! I was born in Scotland, my whole family is born there, so when it came down to my wedding day I always knew I wanted a bagpiper to play at my ceremony. Living in Southern California now, I didn’t know if I could find an authentic piper to play at my wedding, that was until found Stephen Wilkinson! Not only did he ask what I wanted him to play,but he asked what colors he should wear that would best suit my wedding. He showed up early on the wedding day with a huge smile, he introduced himself to my family, who loved that, especially my nana who was visiting from Scotland for my wedding. She loved it, and he took personal pics with them before the ceremony even started. He led my dad and I down the aisle and and then led my new husband and I back down the aisle, after the ceremony. He played during cocktail hour also. My guests absolutely loved his presence there, his piping is spot on and amazing! Everyone commented on how cool it was to have a bagpiper there, and not only how great he was but how friendly he is too! If anyone is looking for a bagpiper for any occasion I highly recommend hiring Stephen Wilkinson. He is the best! 5 Stars!!"

"If you'd like a professional piper for your wedding, I cannot rate Keith the Piper highly enough. Keith was wonderful and very, very accommodating. He arrived well ahead of time, immaculately turned out and extremely friendly and courteous. My husband and I had arranged a piper for our sons wedding as a surprise and Keith was wonderful playing along with us. There was a little bit of a hiccup whilst the newly weds signed the register and Keith stepped in immediately piping in the Church for the congregation. He really went above and beyond. Thank you Keith for adding the extra sparkle on the day. You look wonderful in the photos!"

"Colin came on time, played flower of Scotland, Skye boat song, for the scattering of my husbands ashes on what would have been his 80th birthday. It was so touching to hear Colin play, on such a sad occasion, he is so easy to get on with, I could not thank him enough"

"More than 5 Stars!!! There are no words because when everyone was welcomed with bag pipes at my husband's 50th birthday celebration, they were absolutely speechless!! What an amazing touch they brought to our event. So talented, friendly, and beyond everything we expected. I wish I could give more than 5 stars and I hope I can have an event in the future so I can hire this beautiful couple to amaze our friends again! Thank you so much, Brock & Toni! A thousand times Slainte!!🥂"
