Professional bagpiper available for any event. I can accommodate any request and event duration
Excellent performer. Timely and professional.
Stop scrolling. If you want the best, just book First Class Bagpiping. He is prompt, professional and definitely plays the bagpipes well.
Ian reached out several days before the event. We went over what was needed and a short plan. Great guy and he delivered exactly what was requested - even in the sweltering heat!
Ian was absolutely the best!! He played at my 70th birthday party and celebration. He played Scotland the Brave and my grandchildren and I marched behind him into the event. I told him I would be back in touch with him for my future events
Response from First Class Bagpiping:
Thank you, Bob! It was my pleasure to help you celebrate your milestone birthday!
Cheers to many more

Ian arrived early. We set out a plan and he played to perfection.
He made my daughter sooo happy when he stayed to play , it was a huge surprise ! It was beautiful ! I would rate him 10 Stars !!!!
Response from First Class Bagpiping:
Thank you very much for the kind words, Stacey. It was a pleasure to participate in such a first class affair. I wish the newlyweds health and happiness.

Very easy to work with. Elevated our party!
I recently hosted a memorial service for my beloved brother Tom. One of Tom's wishes was that there be bagpipes at his funeral. Ian from First Class Bagpiping did an absolutely phenomenal job at the service. He was polite, professional, and punctual. He struck up the pipes at the exact moment that my brother invoked Tom's love of his Irish heritage. To say that it was poignant would be a vast understatement. I have nothing but good things to say about Ian, his performance was perfect, he went above and beyond what we expected (and paid for). I highly recommend Ian and First Class Bagpiping for any and all bagpipe needs.
Ian's performance made our daughter's wedding much more special by including our family heritage of bagpiping. He played while our guests arrived for the ceremony and then piped our daughter and her dad up the aisle to Flower of Scotland. There wasn't a dry eye in the place and his playing was magical. Ian was absolutely wonderful to work with and did everything we wanted and more!
Ian was great! Highest recommendation.
I hired Ian for my client who wanted a bag piper for a surprise birthday dinner he was planning for his wife’s 60th. Ian was fantastic to work with from start to finish. Extremely professional. Everyone loved him and was completely blown away!
Ian was awesome! He is the greatest! He made our special event even more special!
Ian is extremely talented and was so accommodating. We will definitely use his bagpipe talents again!
Ian was excellent
Response from First Class Bagpiping:
Thanks, Joe. It was a pleasure meeting everyone and I look forward to next year
Ian
First Class Bagpiping was exactly that, first class all the way. He was early, set up fast, was easygoing, flexible to changes and played the pipes so hard it shook the heavens above! If you need a piper, this is who you need to try and book first!
Ian provided the ending song to my husband's memorial service. His rendition of Amazing Grace touched so many who were there. I heard nothing but positive feedback. I would absolutely recommend him.

We had Ian play at my grandfather's funeral and it was perfect. Just what we wanted. Would highly recommend.
This was an absolutely amazing performance by an extremely talented, professional, and accommodating musician. We had him perform at our wedding, to much admiration of our guests. Such a kind, warm, and talented individual. I couldn't recommend him any more highly for any event.
First Class Bagpiping made our wedding ceremony absolutely amazing! He looked the part and played Amazing Grace so beautifully that most of the guests were crying. I would recommend him for any event or occasion.
We booked with Ian, we definitely made the right decision by doing so.
He was very professional and easy to communicate & work with. You will be very satisfied if you book an event with Ian.
Response from First Class Bagpiping:
Thank you for the kind words, Domenic. I hope the music provided a small bit of comfort at such a trying time
All the guests loved it and were very surprised. Ian was wonderful and sounded great. Thank you!
Ian did a great job performing for my Grandsons Christening. He played at church and the restaurant and everyone enjoyed his performance. He was very nice to deal with & played the songs I requested. I would certainly use him again if I need a bagpiper.
Response from First Class Bagpiping:
Thank you so much Cathy. It was a pleasure to play for such a special occasion. God bless Declan Patrick and the rest of the family
Ian was not only extremely talented on bagpipes he was extremely professional and helpful to me during the entire ceremonial process for my Dad. I highly recommend him for any event.

Response from First Class Bagpiping:
Thank you, Dave. It was my pleasure to play for such a lovely group
Great. Ian was early and performed wonderfully.
Ian was super easy to work with on a relatively last minute gig. Played wonderfully. Highly recommend.
Ian came into a completely foreign environment playing with a Rock Worship Band and was able to adapt and play flawlessly. Ian is an incredible player and I will definitely chose him again.
Thank you Ian for a lovely service. You made it just right, and a lot of people very proud!
First Class Bagpiping performed during our religious ceremony on St Patricks Day. We are so please with his performance We highly recommend First Class Bagpiping!!
