Arthur graham was not only an incredible banker her also so very personable and professional!! He added such a special memory to our son’s wedding day! All who came to the church were quite amazed we had a babpiper which put a smile on their face. Even strangers stopped and listened and took pictures and videos! My husband is half Scottish so this fulfilled a wish he had to have that family heritage celebrated! So glad we found him. We would recommend him without reservation
Arthur's piping was a perfect complement to the wedding of our son and new daughter-in-law at St. Andrew's by-the-Sea. On a lovely summer afternoon, he played beautifully as the wedding guests gathered outside the chapel. When all the guests were inside, he serenaded the bridal party procession with a moving rendition of "Highland Wedding." We highly recommend Arthur Graham for any event where authentic Highland music is desired.

Thank you so much, it was my pleasure and what a beautiful location!
We hired Arthur to play a few songs on the bagpipes for my mother-in-law's funeral. Arthur was responsive and on top of everything, reaching out to make sure we had all the details and providing suggestions when a few of the songs we asked for couldn't be played. He was very reasonably priced, showed up early, played beautifully. I would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thanks Arthur!

We hired Arthur to play the pipes for our December wedding in Cape Cod. He was INCREDIBLE! We communicated leading up to the wedding about what music we'd like and the flow of the event. Arthur was super helpful with his recommendations and provided sound clips of the different songs he thought would work best. He arrived early and played for all of our guests as they were arriving. He was professional, communicative and incredibly talented. I cannot recommend Arthur enough!!
Dan came recommended to us by my friend who is a wedding planner that has worked with LOTS of photographers. She told us that of all the photographers she knows, that Dan is her favorite- he is wonderful work with and produced beautiful pictures. She was 100% right. Dan our engagement shoot in the North End and our wedding in Chatham. He was incredibly professional, friendly and put us at ease in front of the camera. We got our photos super quickly (less than 2 weeks!) and they are absolutely gorgeous. He captured our wedding perfectly and I cannot recommend Dan enough!

Arthur did an amazing job and I would be sure to hire him again. I had to spread the ashes of my younger brother in a celebration of life event and I knew what I wanted in a sense but was also very lost on how to go about it. Arthur listened to my ideas and made me feel very comfortable by just doing what he does best. He took the lead with a very solid plan and it couldn't have been any better. For something that meant so much he came through so well, highly recommended 👍

Showed up on time and was very interactive and professional with residents and their families. Only issue was limited song selection.

Response from Highland Wedding:
Thanks for the review David. I'm sorry I couldn't playnsome of the tunes you requested but as I explained , tunes like Sweet Caroline etc don't translate to the scale on the bagpipes unfortunately. I really enjoyed playing for yourother in law, thanks again
Arthur was the absolute perfect touch for our Scottish themed wedding on October 11th, 2019 in Ashland, MA. He was professional, easy to work with, and a truly fantastic bagpipe player. Thank you so much for adding to our wedding day!

Arthur was just wonderful! He arrived early to get the lay of the land of the venue. He is so nice, charming and accommodating. He greeted our guests for our daughter’s wedding with delightful music!

Thanks Catherine, it was just lovely to be part of the celebrations, thanks again!
Our bagpiper was a true professional and exceeded our expectations. The last song at the grave site featuring a gradual fading out of music was perfect and greatly appreciated.
