Specializing in funeral music, but always adding more for any occasion, I aim to bring life to your event. I give a service usually reserved for kings and queens to anyone. We aim to make people feel honored, or brought into the spotlight.
Dylan did a fantastic job. Was exactly what I had asked for. He is very kind and understanding.
We had the absolute pleasure of having Dylan perform at our wedding celebration brunch, and I can't express enough how incredible the experience was! From the moment he arrived, he brought an authentic atmosphere that truly elevated our special day.
Not only is Dylan extremely talented, but he was also incredibly professional and accommodating. He communicated with us in advance to ensure he had all the details correct, dressed impeccably, and arrived on time.
Our guest and the staff at our venue loved Dylan’s performance. If you're looking for a unique and memorable addition to your celebration, I wholeheartedly recommend Dylan from Life Wind Bagpiping. He truly made our wedding brunch unforgettable! Thank you for everything!
I was honored to have such a well-organized event for the seating of the Honored Guest!
The event was perfect. Dylan played the great song and providing an awesome surprise
I highly recommend Dylan to anyone who needs Bagpiping done. He was accommodating, engaging and showed up on time and ready to pipe for my wife's celebration of life event. It made the event special and memorable.
Dylan was terrific at my Mother’s 80th birthday party! He brought tears of joy to her eyes. So very professional and a great sense of humor. He kicked off her party. Everyone adults and children really enjoyed it!
Thank you again for making her birthday so special!
Dylan was amazing! We had him at our bar/restaurant for St Patrick’s Day and he could not have been more of a hit! He was impressive, everyone’s eye were all on him, he was interactive and able to read his audience, he was easy to communicate with and work with, and he just did an outstanding job! We will definitely be having back for future events without a doubt!
Photos from this event
I had Dylan play for my husband's birthday party. He was great, on time and really got the party going. He was very professional and I would highly recommend him!!
Was on time, great sense of humor, friendly and very professional
Dylan was fantastic! He was so willing to go above and beyond, playing outdoors for a few minutes, as people were leaving Mass. A true gentleman, and so talented! Many, many compliments from all who attended. I would definitely recommend him to anyone interested in bagpipes. Hi is a class act!
Response from Life Wind Bagpiping:
Thank you for that high praise Judy. You planned everything very clearly ahead of time. You met with me at the event beforehand and were open for any questions I had. You made it so easy for me. This was such a wonderful time and I will gladly play at any event you have.
He played for 3 hours at my wife's birthday. Great guy with great humor. His music had our neighbors were out on their porch enjoying his music
Response from Life Wind Bagpiping:
You guys made it so easy to have fun. You have great questions and reasonable song requests. And your wife's tiramisu cake was second to none thank you so much for sending extra portions of food home with me and other people at the party.
So happy with Life Wind Bagpiping! He was very professional, cordial when greeting guests, played wonderfully. We were in no way short changed with everything he did. He led the walk-in of our Academy for their graduation as well as lead the way out. We would definitely have him again.
Price Range: $200 per event plus mileage.
Languages: English
I charge by hour and mileage. During that one hour window of time, I need a 5 minute break for every 15 minutes of continuous playing. An event costs 150 dollars per piper. Most events need only one piper. I charge 67 cents per mile.
Songs that I can play by memory I can walk to but anything else I need to stand in one place and have a music stand with sheet music to play.
Bagpipes get up to the 90-95 decibel range, and there is no way to dampen the sound. Keep this in mind when planning your event.
90 dB: lawnmower, shouting conversation
95 dB: electric drill
100 dB: night club, train, snowmobile
I started playing the bagpipes because I wanted to meet people in their pain and give a gift when they had just lost their whole world. I specialize in funeral music, but am always adding more for any occasion. My business is set apart among other musicians in that the bagpipes are unique in their sound and their effect on human emotions. No other instrument has the regal stand alone reputation. I honor people with the same instrument that has laid Kings to rest.
I love to ask for ideas on how to make your event more personal. I do a phone call before confirming any event to make sure we understand and meet your needs. I also offer a cash discount.
In door events may require me to be in a closet or a separate room as the noise is overwhelming.
