I am a highly professional Piper/Musician, based in the GTA, with 16+ years piping experience....While I take piping seriously (finished 8th in the world in 2018 with the 78th Fraser Highlanders Pipe Band), I I love to have a good time and would be happy and honoured to be a part of your upcoming event. While I've been performing for quite some time now, I have been on GigSalad for over a year now and it has been a great way for me to get exposure to many different types of events and meet some wonderful people living in the GTA and parts of Southern Ontario. I look forward to working with you and helping to make your event extra special with the unique and beautiful sound of the pipes.
Community Members thoroughly enjoyed. Andrew made our Remembrance Day extra special, especially for our veterans.
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks Xandra! It was special for me to be able to play for your Remembrance Day service in this unique year we are all experiencing. We will remember them!
Loved having Andrew come and play on my Mum’s 70th birthday. Not only was Andrew an amazing bagpipe player but he was lovely to talk with. He was so friendly, flexible and 100% made my Mum's Day, a birthday she will never forget. Can’t recommend enough!!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks Lesley! It was a pleasure to play for the event. Thanks again for having me. I look forward to the next celebration!
Andrew was prompt and professional and piped at our father's funeral. He knew the songs and played them well. I would not hesitate in hiring him in the future..thank you Andrew
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks Chris! Appreciate the kind words. All the best to you!
Andrew helped us send off my father in the most poised, professional and caring way. The bagpipes were a perfect addition to his service. Andrew thank you so much , we are forever grateful

Andrew made our daughter’s home convocation ceremony feel like the real thing! He is friendly, courteous, professional and a great piper!! Everyone enjoyed the music. We would not hesitate to use his services again in the future.
Andrew was the highlight of our birthday party everyone was delighted with his bag piping skills and thoroughly enjoyed the songs he played. He was such a pleasant and informative person I would highly recommend him. I would love to have him back again
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thank you Douglas! It was a pleasure playing at the birthday party :-)
Andrew was a pleasure to work with and would have no hesitation to work with him again. Andrew's performance at the Curling Bonspiel event was excellent.
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Hi Fiona,
Thanks for having me. It was a fun event and my first time piping at a curling rink. Would love to give it a shot if I'm around for it next year!
Andrew was the perfect piper for our Burns Evening. He was so easy to work with: prompt, courteous, flexible, pleasant and most definitely an excellent piper. Our guests were, to a person, deeply impressed with his playing and his manner, and continued raving about him throughout the party. Thank you, Andrew, most sincerely. You made our evening!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Bruce! Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure to perform for you and your guests! Your address to the haggis was impeccable! Thank you for inviting me in to your home.
Kind Regards,

Angelo & Jenn :)
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
It was a pleasure to work with you both. It was a beautiful ceremony and glad I could be a part of it. All the best to you both!
Andrew was exactly what we wanted at our wedding. He did an amazing job!!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks Adam! Congratulations! It was a beautiful afternoon and a pleasure to be a part of your special day.
Our experience with GTA Piper, Andrew, was terrific. Andrew was early, warmed up, looked great in his kit and walked with us to our family grave. His piping, to honour our dad, a veteran, was wonderful. He played till the graves were covered.
We recommend Andrew!
Thank you, Andrew!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks Mary Jane. You were a pleasure to work with and I was honoured to be part of the service for one of our veterans. All the best. -Andrew
Andrew did an amazing job at our wedding in Mississauga. He was very easy to direct and patient with our timing. He was ready to play at the drop of a dime and matched our zaffe band perfectly! We highly recommend him.
Andrew did an Amazing job for my event! This was a last-minute event that involved several changes, and Andrew was very flexible and accommodating. On the evening of the event itself, we had very muggy weather and Andrew didn't bat an eye at the heat. I felt very well taken care of and respected during an emotional memorial service for my late parents. The playing was great too! Definitely would recommend Andrew for anything you need!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks, Colin. It was a pleasure to meet you and your family and be part of this special service.
I was looking for a bagpiper as a way to honour my husband's heritage at our wedding. Andrew got it! He did an incredible job. My husband was truly surprised; as were members of his family, especially his cousins from the UK. We keep hearing how much his piping added to the ceremony. It made it very personal for us!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks, Fern. It was a beautiful ceremony and I was honoured to be a part of it!
Andrew is The Best choice for your bagpipe entertainment. My husband and I hired him to play at our wedding in May 2019 and we could not have selected a better person for the role. From the first correspondence to the wedding day, Andrew was always available to answer our questions and to comfort us when we were feeling stressed.
Andrew is very knowledgeable of the traditional songs and plays a variety of modern songs as well. We were glad that Andrew was also willing and available to attend our wedding rehearsal, in order to make sure all aspects of the event were seamless. Our guests are still telling us how much they loved the bagpipes - Andrew did an amazing job.
I would recommend Andrew to anyone that is looking to have bagpipes at their event (especially their wedding ceremony), the day was simply perfect! Thanks a million, Andrew!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks, Nicole, for the great review! It was a fantastic experience for me as well! Lovely family and friends you have! It was a pleasure to work with you!
I hired GTA Bagpiper for a big part of my wedding and at the time I had a choice of about Ten different pipers well BIG mistake!!! He just cancelled a week before the wedding and said sorry something came up and he would help me find another piper... Well another lie after I asked him a couple of times he just ghosted no reply. Thanks a lot for your help I would not recommend him unless you want the chance of being let down!
Easy communication. Will recommend.
Playing for a funeral isn't the easiest task. Andrew did a great job - thanks!
Response from GTA Bagpiper Experience:
Thanks, Iain.
He played for my wedding and was able to learn the song I had requested. He came early and worked with me on the details leading up to the event. I would gladly recommend him to anyone needing a piper for an event and be glad to work with him again.
He arrived early and looked very professional and polished in his polished regalia. He arrived early to receive instructions and get ready. Andrew really made our event memorable. Mum would have loved it. Thanks so much, Andrew. You are a sweetheart.
