Photo of Mad Mix International DJ Productions Mad Mix International DJ Productions "Here's what they had to say about Mad Mix International Dj Productions: "Mad Mix International DJ Productions was absolutely fantastic to work with for our wedding. They had great communication throughout the planning process, always responding promptly to our questions and requests. On the day of, they listened closely to our music preferences and did an amazing job keeping the dance floor packed all night long. We received so many compliments from our guests about how much fun the music was and how great the DJ was at reading the room. Mad Mix truly contributed to making our wedding day special and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for an experienced and talented DJ service." – Spencer & Emily" Based in Enfield, Connecticut Spencer and Emily - Wedding Photo of Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency Face The Music DJs and Booking Agency "Brian was everything that my husband and I could've asked for. He was professional, punctual, and most importantly he did a great job with the music selection. He was also able to provide a mic and amp for some live music during the ceremony, and played piano for us during the cocktail hour. We really appreciated having someone so multi-talented for our event. We gave Brian a smaller list of must-play songs, and with that outline he was able to fill in the gaps effectively with what the crowd was feeling. We didn't have to worry about the music all night, and he was mingling and getting requests from the guests with his iPad (a favorite detail of the guests'). Our wedding was a huge success in no small part because of Brian, and we cannot recommend him enough." Based in Amherst, Massachusetts Alison Kuzara - Wedding Photo of Hampton Pipes & Drums Hampton Pipes & Drums "During the planning of my fathers funeral I realized that I didn't call to book someone to play , in a panic that it was too late I found the Hampton Pipes website. Very shortly after I received a called from Victor. Immediately when is spoke to him I knew he was professional and caring that he was the right person for this special job. He did a great job played all the songs that we discussed and really made the day special. I know my Dad was smiling from heaven. Thank you Victor!" Based in North Bellport, New York 30th December 2025 Gina V. - Funeral Photo of WisehartPiper WisehartPiper "Kevin has been a band instructor for the Sutherland Pipe Band for many years, guiding us through every stage of our band’s lifecycle. He played a crucial role in developing and retaining members when we had just a few players, and he continued to support our improvement as we grew and returned to band competition. Whether you're learning tunes, preparing for a parade or contest, or simply trying to improve your playing, Kevin can help. He is an expert player and teacher for all aspects of piping, including instrument setup, tuning, expression, musicality, deportment, unison, and ensemble. More importantly, while Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and competent, he is equally personable and patient. Every pipe band and piper could benefit from Kevin’s instruction, and he would be my top choice for any event where a piper is needed." Based in Boston, Massachusetts 9th September 2026 Joe B - World class pipe band instructor Photo of Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell "Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests." Based in Columbia, Maryland John G. Photo of Harbour City Harbour City "CAMIC had the great pleasure of having Harbour City perform at our annual conference. Not only was the band fantastic, but they played a variety of tunes, from ones themed to the East Coast to familiar tunes from the past. Our guests happily danced until the last set was played" Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada 29th January 2026 Sangita KamblĂ© - Canadian Association of Mutual Insurance Companies - Annual National Conference
