Review Centre: Bagpipers

"Utah Bagpiper - Johnny Miner performed at Salt Lake Community Colleges Veterans Day Ceremony / November 2023. Our experience with Johnny offered the experience we wanted and more. He is more than excellent to work with! He is courteous, he cares and is a true professional! Johnny's desire is to make sure the service he rendered surpasses our expectations, which it did. Johnny's bagpipe playing was above supreme both in sound and spirit that it brought to the Veterans Day Ceremony. The Utah Bagpipe player, Johnny Miner made it easy and affordable to have him perform at Salt Lake Community College - Veterans Services Veterans Day Ceremony. P.S. You won't be disappointed."

Thank you so much Jason. I have never met such nice people. I was looked after beautifully, made new friends and can only say I hope this is an annual event. It was an absolute pleasure to be able to spend an evening with you and your guests in such a stunning location. May I take this opportunity to wish you and yours well and as we say in gaelic, Slaintè.

"Thank you Cameron, everyone commented on how the pipes filled church and was so appropriate for mum – she will have loved it! You arrived early, were pleasant to deal with and you are a superbly talented, professional bagpiper. I made a good choice for mum with you!"

"I needed to surprise the president of our company for his birthday — and I realized at 11:30 p.m. the night before that I hadn’t planned anything. Our VP wanted us to do something totally crazy and unexpected, especially since our president hates birthdays. Thank God for ChatGPT, which gave me the idea to hire a bagpipe player to play “Happy Birthday” — and that’s how I found Johnny. I messaged him through the website, and he responded within 30 minutes. He said he could do it, and honestly, he was amazing to work with from start to finish. He was flexible with timing (even when I had to change things), super professional, and made the whole experience fun and stress-free. For someone to come through last minute like that and absolutely deliver? Incredible. Our president loved it, and it made his day. Highly recommend Johnny — you truly can’t go wrong."

"Keith was fantastic from the moment we first contacted him and asked him to play at our wedding. We were having a Scottish theme and found him on last minute musicians and loved the reviews already given. Keith was prompt with his replies, really helpful and so polite. Keith arrived on the day with enough time to slowly get set up and ensure he was 100% ready by the time he was required. We asked for a few requirements and then left the rest to Keith and his expertise. He was a lovely addition to our wedding and was loved not only by us but our guests. It will be a day we will never forget, topped off by hearing the beautiful sound of bagpipes. So many people told us how happy and welcoming Keith was and we cannot recommend him enough. Thank you again"

"My fiancé and I hired Hampton Pipes & Drums for our wedding this past weekend. Victor was incredible!!! He came and played at the church while guests entered and as everyone was leaving - it was raining a bit, but you would never know, Victor did a tremendous job! He then came to the venue with a gentlemen by the name of Tom who played the snare drum. They played for a bit during our cocktail hour and were so terrific, everyone loved them and they added the perfect touch to our day!! I would recommend Victor to friends and family and will keep him in mind for any future event!"

"Talk about a professional! Johnny Miner was a Class A professional. We had him play at my brother's graveside services. He called ahead of time to get all the details. He explained he would play off in the distance while people gathering. Then as per requested he would play Amazing Grace. He offered to explain to those gathered that he would play Amazing Grace and then fade off into the distance as is the Celtic tradition of the spirit lingering and then fading away. The cemetery he played at was quite a ways away, so not only did he travel a long ways to get there, but he was early to the graveside services. Unfortunately one of our speakers got lost, so the service was delayed a considerable amount of time. However, Johnny continued to play in the hot sun with no complaint. The bagpipe playing was the highlight of the send off for my brother and was no doubt the highlight of the service. I was amazed how simple and quick it was to make the arrangements to have a bagpiper play at a funeral service. Johnny was dressed beautifully and enhanced a beautiful service. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to add the beautiful sound of bagpipes to any event. Hopefully in the future we will be able to invite him back for a more joyful event such as a wedding."

Johnny is a talented musician and communicator: he responded quickly to our request, made excellent suggestions for choice of music, and was prompt, friendly, and respectful.
