Michaela was AMAZING!
Her music touched SO MANY HEARTS on our sentimental day.
I appreciate her making the trip & handling the heat.
Response from Michaela Skye:
Thank you Heidi. It was an honor to be part of such an important day. Your kindness was unmatched. Wishing you all the best.
Michaela came on time as she said she would. She was more than what we expected. Her thoughtfulness, respect and overall interaction were more than we could have expected. She was amazing. She played as people were entering and then played Amazing Grace as our special music. All the family could not have asked for a better choice than Michaela. Thank you.
Michaela was AMAZING. Her performance moved the hearts of all...my husband struggled to hold back the tears…it touched his Scot/Irish soul in a powerful way...several others weren't as strong as he....so tears did flow...Lol.
Response from Michaela Skye:
Thank you Sheila for allowing me to be part of such a special celebration. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you all and playing some tunes to brighten your day.

Micheala was great. Very easy to plan with and on time. The music was great and her suggestions too and decisions to plan my mom’s funeral.
You were AWESOME. Easy to work with and looked so lovely! You made our event!
Michaela was amazing to work with. She came promptly, beautifully dressed and very professional. I can’t express enough appreciation for the beauty and power her music brought to my brothers funeral service. Thank you michaela ❤️🙏🏻
Michaela was professional and very sweet. She has an amazing voice and is very talented on the bagpipes. I would hire her again in a minute!
We hired Michaela to play at my sister's memorial. She was great to work with: listened closely to what I wanted, came up with several suggestions in terms of music, responded quickly to emails, and her music was just what you'd expect from a professional bagpiper. Highly recommend.
An incredible highlight to the memorial party for my dad who was of Scottish decent and shared a love of bagpipes with my mom. She could not hold in the emotion as Michaela played. It was beautiful. And I’m especially grateful for the memory. Not to mention it was near 100 in my yard and she didn’t miss a beat!
Michaela was absolutely the highlight of a recent "renewal of wedding vows" that I officiated. I was impressed with her professionalism, punctuality, engaging friendly nature, and wondrous music. I can hardly wait for another event in which I can include her. Our valley is fortunate to have her.

I thought that she played beautifully unfortunately it would have been even better if she would have been on time.. she was suppose to start at 845 but did not arrive till 850 unfortunately most people were already seated inside.. I know that my friend will be happy just knowing we played the bagpipes at his funeral but for the price we paid for only half an hr then to have her late and not even start on time was a little uncalled for.
Micheala presented herself very professionally . Her Scots dress was perfect and of course the bagpipe experience was moving.
Thank you so much for making a difficult day so beautiful. Beautiful playing of Amazing Grace.
She played flawlessly and Everyone Loved it !

No equipment is required. But please note that the highland bagpipes are very robust in sound. They can reach up to 116 dB indoors (which is the equivalent of a chain saw.) So please do consider this upon my hire.
I also have highland small pipes available which are much quieter and work well for intimate indoor gatherings.
