I've been around bagpipe music and pipers for over 25 years. The quality of his playing and the unexpected chanter techniques caught my ear even as I was recessing down the church isle! I am more than pleased with the tunes we selected and give my highest recommendation. A+++

For our Scottish and non-Scottish guests, the music provided old world charm. A bit of home away from home. Everything was very professional!

Joe was great. Bagpiping was beautiful! Joe was very organized. Arrived early.. left Kate so he could puke the bridal party back into limo. So much fun when he came into church and played the bride and groom down the aisle!
Perfect in every way.

All-around great experience with Byrnes Bagpipe. Booked on short notice for a memorial service. Byrnes showed up early to make sure all details were taken care of and took the lead when necessarily; the music was exactly what we expected as well. The professionalism was greatly appreciated on a tough day for the family.

We chose Joe to pipe us out of our wedding ceremony. He helped make out grand exit, well, grand! It was a memorable part of our wedding and a special way to surprise our guests. It was also personal to us, as it helped us celebrate our heritage in the joining of our families. Overall, Joe was easy to work with and very professional. Friendly, experienced, and skillful! Thank you for helping make our event special!

About
I have been playing the pipes for over twenty years and have had the honor of competing with my bandmates at the Midwest Pipe Band Association Highland Games. When I first heard the pipes as a child, it really resonated with me and inspired me to learn to play. The bagpipe has the power to evoke strong emotion in those that listen, and I always feel privileged to share music with my clients during their important milestones.
