"Jason is incredible! From performance, to accommodation, personality, etc. I believe that he is the MOST perfect person we could have picked for our ceremony. I wanted to secretly hire a piper for my wife and I's wedding ceremony in the Scottish Highlands. Working with Jason, he was able to travel, accommodate to our needs and communicate with me to arrange everything to be as smooth as possible with 0 bumps in the road. Jason became a very special part of our day and is someone we still continue to talk about even after our ceremony. He has an incredible history, is an overall incredible person to spend some time with and is very talented - being open to answer any and all questions, comments, etc. Thank you so much again Jason for everything and we hope to see you again next time we visit Scotland"

"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!!"

"Dear Cameron, Thank you so very much for playing at my father’s funeral today. You made the day very special for us and I’m sure that my father would have loved it. We can recommend you to anyone that wants a piper at their occasion. You were respectful and polite and everyone said how good and professional you were. We would definitely use you again in the future. "

"My mom often mentioning having bagpipes play at her burial. We were so happy to have found Johnny The Bagpiper. Our program was irregular and Johnny was able to flow with us. He was extremely easy to work with and made my moms internment absolutely perfect, bringing comfort, beauty and peace through his sounds. We received many compliments about this added touch."

"As my siblings and I were assisting our father with planning out his memorial services, he had requested bagpipes be played. I began searching Google for pipers in my area and found 4 different providers. I emailed each one individually and within minutes of sending those emails Johnny was calling my phone. The way Johnny interacted with me over the phone and spoke with so much reverence and respect for my father, someone Johnny had never met, won me over almost instantly. Johnny acknowledged his availability on the day of the memorial services and then helped walk me through different ideas and musical numbers during our chat, he provided his pricing and explained every single detail possible so that I was fully informed of my options. I took notes and explained I would reach out to him after the family had made a decision on who we would select. I only heard back from 2 additional providers and they both were more expensive than Johnny and offered the same services...Johnny kept in contact with me very professionally, he wasn't aggressive or pushy, he simply checked in and asked if I needed anything or had questions before we had made our decision. Once we had verified that we wanted Johnny to be our piper, he checked in with me daily a couple of days before the day of the memorial services and verified he was ready and honored to be involved. The day of service Johnny arrived early, looking extremely proper and professional in his attire. He performed 2 musical numbers for the service and did such an amazing job, it was absolutely beautiful and set the perfect tone for what we were trying to accomplish. I could not ask for a better experience. After the services concluded, Johnny joined us graveside to pay his respects for my father, expressed his condolences to me and my family and expressed his gratitude for being in attendance, and being able to perform. Johnny is a fantastic guy and possess top shelf musical talent. There is no way you could have a bad experience with this guy. I have every intention of finding other events that we can hire Johnny for, because he is that great. He knows his stuff and demonstrates extreme pride and professionalism in everything he does. Johnny - thank you again for everything! I look forward to seeing you again. Please know that I don't give 5 star reviews to anyone, I don't feel that it's fair. To get 5 stars leads us to believe we have reached perfection and we lose our motivation to improve, change and work hard. Your 4 star review from me means I am beyond pleased with you and your services, but I don't have any feedback on what you could have or can do better. But I encourage you to always be mindful and to take consideration of how you can improve, change or work harder, because that's how all of us become better. Stay safe and keep well! Cheers!"

"At the last minute I needed a bagpiper for a memorial service for my parents. We reached out to Kevin and said he would be happy to help us. The whole process to engage and pay Kevin was incredibly easy. He kept us updated as the date and time approached. All of that was so smooth, but Kevin’s playing brought tears to everyone at the cemetery. He is an amazing bagpiper that showed true empathy for my family and I. The day and music were especially beautiful thanks to Kevin."

"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"

"Excellent bagpiper Mr. Bierens played for my father’s funeral—at the church and cemetery. He did a wonderful job. It sounded beautiful. He’s very kind and professional. He gave us a list of his songs to pick from and he did an amazing job. It’s was 100+ degrees at the cemetery but he played under a lone tree in the distance and it was special hearing him play at such a sad time. I strongly recommend him. You’ll be very satisfied. "

"Johnny was absolutely amazing. His performance made for a very special part of our grandpas funeral service. It was special to have him there when the doors to the funeral opened and then again at the gravesite. He knows what he is doing and is happy to give advice for what is commonly done, or also can be flexible if you have something in mind. Very impressed with his stamina!"

"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!!"

"Stevie attended a weekend event supporting the Royal Marines Charity at Clennell Hall Hotel in Northumberland. Stevie made every effort to accommodate our needs and went above and beyond to do this as our timings moved considerably. His playing of the bagpipes on completion of our minutes silence was so moving and totally appropriate to the moment. He is a complete professional with the personal touch and is willing to help make the occasion very special. The immaculate traditional dress also adds to the overall package provided by Stevie. He’s already booked for next year. Ian Scott"
