Bagpipe Associates

Mike was a great addition to our funeral service. He was easy to communicate with and sharp on the cues.

All went exactly as planned and sounded great!
Thanks again for celebrating the life of our Brother with us!!!
I’m sure we will be using you again!!!!

Mike was absolutely awesome! Did a super job at my mom's funeral couldn't have asked for better. It was cold and windy even some flurries, he added warmth and festivity to the whole event. Can't say it enough thank you, thank you. Definitely would use him again. Highly recommend.

Despite the cold, he showed up early and started playing promptly at the start time. No complaints about the cold, and it was very meaningful to have him again for our Easter service.

Five stars...

He was a wonderful person and did a magnificent job for us. I cannot thank him enough. I would recommend him anytime.

Mike was great to work with and was patient and understanding with the parties involved. Thank you, Mike, and thank you, Gig Salad, for your great service.

Very kind gentleman who showed up ready to play. Made our Easter sunrise service memorable!

Was wonderful for my mom’s 80th birthday! Thank you!!!

This was a wonderful addition to the funeral ceremony for my father at the Cemetary. The experience and quality of the music performed was great, and the communication prior to event was great as well. I would highly recommend.

He was on time (both days) and great performances.

It was pouring down rain the day of our event. Mike performed stoically despite the deluge. He was the epitome of a professional. Would hire him again. Thank you Mike for a job well done.

Mike was prompt, funny, and brought the life to our party. I would definitely recommend having him come to your event; it was definitely an experience to remember for my dad’s 55th surprise birthday.

On time, super easy to work with, prompt in response and clear in communication and most importantly...a rocking BagPiper. Was a great, socially distanced Christmas surprise for my family. Thank you.

We had an intimate funeral for my dad and wanted to infuse some energy and life into it with his favorite: the bagpipes. I’m so glad we did!

He knew one of our residents and a resident's family. Very nice, personable, and professional. I would definitely hire him again!

Mike did a wonderful job of piping at my mother's 90th birthday bash. He had the crowd laughing, crying and clapping. He was patient with picture taking and even a little jig from Mom. It was the highlight of the party. I would highly recommend Mike.

Mike walked down the hill at dusk playing the bagpipes and our friends were awestruck then exuberant. He was polite, fun, had a great sense of what & when to play. Everyone loved him and it was the best party EVER!!

Mike provided both piping and also explanations about his attire and instrument that were informative and humorous for our family event. Felt as if he was family! Everyone lived his performance.

We booked Bagpipe Associates through GigSalad for my mothers funeral. The booking process through GigSalad was quick and easy, but Bagpipe Associates far exceeded our expectations the day of the event. Mike was at the cemetery and already playing as we showed up. It was so amazing to hear the music as we were pulling in with the funeral procession. He played the songs we requested before and after the prayer service and it was perfect and gave me chills. Mike was very professional and personable and even spoke to my daughter about Macalester College after the service - she is interested in attending school there and noticed it was written on his bag. I highly recommend Bagpipe Associates and am very pleased with the service we received!

It was always my cousins wish to have bagpipes played at his funeral. His passing came much sooner then we thought. I went on the internet & found Mike Breidenbach. He played an hour during the visitation, before the funeral. It was simply beautiful. The last song he played was Amazing Grace. Everyone was in awe that a bagpiper was there & enjoyed the selections so much. He was very professional. Communication was great. Priced fairly. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone for any occasion. Thank you so very much Mike. I know Ralph was looking down smiling.

Mike was our bagpiper for my son's wedding. He was awesome!
He was very professional, yet very personable. I would HIGHLY recommend him.
