I am so pleased I found CJ for my daughter’s wedding. He was always so pleasant to talk to and work with, impressively he even learned a particular hymn I requested. He was prompt, played beautifully and all our guests were quite impressed. I only wish I was in with the guests to hear him too!! I will definitely call CJ again.

CJ was fantastic. In addition to being a wonderful bagpipe player, he arrived early, went with the flow and last minute changes and was very kind. Great to work with. He added a lot to my Grandma’s memorial service. Highly recommend!

I reached out to the Great Highland Bagpiper on very short notice for a corporate event & he absolutely delivered. We were very satisfied with his performance & my team couldn't have been happier. He showed up early the morning-of & was very professional. Thanks again!

We hired CJ as a bagpiper for my son’s wedding. The music was beautiful and made the wedding extra special.
CJ was very responsive and thoughtful and was a pleasure to work with. I have already recommended him to 3 friends!

Wonderful bagpiper and performance by C.J. Ortolano-Collins for our Dad's 90th birthday. Communication was easy and he went the extra mile on our ever changing requests. We initially requested he play inside after brunch but due to how loud the instrument can be (especially for those with hearing aids!) he quickly adjusted to play outside. It was a great surprise, enjoyed by all. I highly recommend!

Professional. Punctual. Pleasurable.
The 2nd event I have used his services. The man is clearly an individual with an abundance of sophisticated taste.
