Experienced Vancouver-area bagpiper available. Looking for that perfect note for your celebration of life, wedding, birthday party, graduation, or any special occasion? A bagpiper is imaginative and impactful. I can play in your backyard or garden while guests listen, or march into your party as a surprise. I play "Happy Birthday to You", "Scotland the Brave" , "Amazing Grace" and all the classics. A great way to send your love. Call anytime.
For my mother's celebration of life she had requested a piper to play some of her favorite songs. He did a wonderful job and everyone loved the songs he played. He was there ahead of the requested time and also enjoyed interacting with our grand kids that were there. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.
thanks,
Randy Gomm
Mike was the perfect inclusion to our charity event. He was communicative, prompt and on time, and seemed genuinely invested on how to help make our event a success. Highly recommend!!
Mike is the consummate professional, not only a skilled piper, but charming as well. In addition, he has the knack of reading his audience, which adds to the event. Highly recommended.
It was a great surprise for all the guests at my Dad’s celebration of life, the perfect tribute to him.
He would’ve just loved it!
Mike is lovely, played well, plus the entire outfit.... perfect! I was so nice to have him play the bagpipes for us.
Thank you again Mike!
Malcolm was fantastic. He arrived early and we adjusted our plan based on his suggestions and it was a hit with my golf group as well as the others at the golf course. It was my sons birthday the following week and he played Happy Birthday on the pipes as an added bonus. I highly recommend.
Price Range: $200-$300
A highland Scottish bagpiper can play as guests are arriving at a venue: a funeral service, a wedding or lead guests or grieving family members into a memorial. A piper can play the lament at a graveside, and he or she can announce the wedding of a new couple. A birthday isn`t complete without Happy Birthday on the pipes as the cake is brought in. Or an evening isn`t complete until the piper plays down the sun. The possibilities of adding that something special to your event can be delivered by a bagpiper.
There are moments in life when the sound of the bagpipes is the perfect note to celebrate a birthday, commemorate a beginning, an end, or those special occasions when you want to deliver an impact or leave a lasting impression.
A Highland bagpiper stirs emotions at funerals and life celebrations. At weddings, a sense of joy. Special occasions such as birthdays or surprise parties become instantly memorable with a bagpiper. Burns Suppers, graduations, New Year’s parties, a sales event, or marching in head table guests; a bagpiper delivers impact.
