"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 "

"He played at our Uncles graveside service today as part of or uncles last wish to have bagpipes present during his Military honors. He was so kind and considerate of our families wishes and made sure to collaborate with the US Marines to make sure and honor their protocol as well. He communicated with me every step of the way as I have never had to hire a Bagpiper, and made the progress easy, especially during such a hard time. The service was flawless, and between him and the US Marines it all came together beautifully. Thank you. Our entire family is eternal grateful."

"Michael was the best decision we could have made for the wedding! His communication was incredible. He helped us think through things that we hadn't even considered and really made the schedule as smooth as could be. He was able to accommodate for our ceremony that did not have a power source. We even had our generator go out during the reception and he didn't hesitate to keep the vibe going. He started up his battery powered speakers and many guests didn't even realize the power was out. Michael was on board with our creative song choices and made them crowd pleasers. Majority of our guests complimented the DJ choice because we had the best dance floor ever. Thank you Michael for everything!!!!!"

"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!!"

"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."

"We are so grateful to Johnny Miner for sharing his superb bagpipe playing skills with us for our mother's graveside service. 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. It was wonderful to have such evocative, gorgeous music at the funeral. If you are looking for a bagpipe musician, I whole-heartedly recommend contacting Johnny Miner--Thank you! Tamara and the Ryan Family."

"Brock and Toni were absolutely wonderful. Our wedding guests arrived to the heart warming sounds of Brock and Toni playing an amazing Wedding Tune! It was deeply moving and spirit felt by all. Toni's welcoming smile and gentle calming spirit was present on the phone, texts and day of. She helped out on so many levels! What a great way to set the tone for our daughter's wedding. The professionalism, talent and fun personalities of this couple will never be forgotten. We were truly blessed to have found them, and I recommend them wholeheartedly and without reservation.

"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"

"John is the best bagpipe player ever! He came to my granddaughter’s elementary school in his kilt with his bagpipe and totally entertained them as well as educated them on the basics of the bagpipes. He even played Happy Birthday on the bagpipe’s to a birthday boy in the class! He played Christmas Carols as well as traditional Scottish songs. The 96 kids loved every minute of it as well as the teachers. I would highly recommend him for any event!!"

"I hired Eugene to pipe at two Burns Suppers I had organised in Kyiv. He arrived early so that he could tune his pipes and was immaculately dressed in his highland attire. He did an excellent job in piping in the guests and Haggis as well as a lively rendition of highland tunes to entertain the company. I would have no hesitation in recommending Eugene to any future clients. "
