Photo of pipe major Nick MacVicar pipe major Nick MacVicar "Nick, you're a scholar and a gentleman. Everyone that met you had nothing but good things to say, and you giving us extra time for the city center was really really appreciated. (As was the plaid; legend) We genuinely hope we meet again, your vibe was spectacular. Talk to you soon man. Thanks again" Based in Florence, Tuscany 29th September 2026 Ciaran & Guilaine - Wedding in Tuscany Photo of The Waistcoats The Waistcoats "When searching for a band for our wedding in Italy we came across The Waistcoats and after watching many videos and reading through all the reviews we made contact. The first email from Paul immediately put us at ease and we decided to book them. Throughout the lead up to the wedding, we had a few different requests (speakers for ceremony and microphones for speeches) all which were agreed to with no problem at all! On the day they arrived with plenty of time and had a calm presence and were easy to deal with. They are very experienced and knew what to do without having to be told, which kept us super relaxed. For both parts of the day The Waistcoats played aperitifs and after dinner. They understood what to play and created a fantastic atmosphere. All our guests did not stop dancing even during the aperitifs there was dancing. We also pushed forward the first dance and this was no problem. We had lots of ‘experienced’ wedding guests who exclaimed: “best wedding band ever”! And we also truly believe that too! We can’t thank you enough for everything you did to make our day so very special! Thank you! Ciaran and Charlie" Based in Rome, Latium Ciaran and Charlie - Private Wedding Photo of Ingrid Magee Funeral Singer London Ingrid Magee Funeral Singer London "Ingrid, a quick note on behalf of the family. Thank you for the amazing vocals last Wednesday. When Mum and I were discussing her wishes; it was everything we hoped. I sobbed the whole way through Ave Maria. Your performance was truly beautiful. On a personal note, thank you for navigating some tricky times. Knowing you were taking care gave me confidence to relax. Wishing you and yours a lovely Christmas x" Based in Bexley, England, United Kingdom 2nd October 2026 Denise P - Funeral Photo of thecypruspiper thecypruspiper "Hi Kevin Thank you so much for making our Day sp special yesterday. You did an amazing job and everyone (including lots of other guests at the hotel) thought you were fantastic. So many people came up to us afterwards and said how much they thoroughly enjoyed hearing you play the bagpipes and loved watching the ceremony. Our guests thought you were brilliant and Graeme and me are so pleased you could play again for us. Thank you. I hope you enjoy your special day as much as we enjoyed ours. Regards abd Best Wishes from Wendy and Graeme xx" Based in Paphos, Pafos, Cyprus 21st September 2026 Wendy & Graeme - Renewal of Vows Photo of Triskelt Triskelt "It was such an absolute pleasure to have you all be such an amazing part of our special day. The guests loved you (and so do we, still). You've been amazing from start to finish, from planning to the big day itself! We highly recommend Triskelt! 10/10" Based in Antwerp, Flanders, Belgium 15th September 2026 Janna & Sidène - Private Wedding Photo of J.Sull J.Sull "I can’t recommend Jay enough. He was absolutely brilliant and had the whole crowd up singing and dancing, he really made our night. His voice was superb and he had a wide variety of songs. He interacted with the crowd and really made every person feel like part of the performance. Thank you Jay!" Based in Killarney, Munster, Ireland 11th August 2026 Jodie Broad - Christening
