Hired Steve for an 80th birthday that turned into an outdoor dance. My guests didn’t want to let him leave!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Catherine it was such a pleasure being able to preform for your mother. The highlight of my day was seeing her smile and dance. Thank you again for allowing me to be part of your mother's Birthday.
I hired Steve to play at my Mom and Dads internment. He arrived early and in full dress. He was very professional and courteous. Listening to him play gave me a sense of comfort at such a difficult time. He plays the bagpipes with precision. He is truly amazing! He even took the time to explain to my grandchildren how the bagpipes work and played a bit for them. If you’re looking for a bagpipe player, look no further, you’ve found him. You will be very pleased as we all were. Thanks Steve, you’re awesome!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Debbie, thank you so much for the amazing review! It was an honour to be able to play for your parents internment. The service was beautiful, and the fly by was very emotional. I am glad that I was able to show your grandkids the bagpipes, they were very interested.
Steve was wonderful to work with. He was incredibly responsive to communications and was able to provide great recommendations for the appropriate pieces to play at my Dad's celebration of life. The selections he played were beautiful, fitting, and exceptionally moving. Steve showed up well in advance so that his pipes were tuned and ready to play at the key moments in the celebration. My Dad would have been chuffed!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Darlene, thank you so much for such a wonderful review. It was such an honor to be able to perform for your dad. It was also nice chatting with your family, and hearing stories of him. Take care
We had a 5 star experience with Steve the Wedding Piper. He is talented, easy to communicate with, and his kind energy truly added to our day. Worth every penny and we would 100% recommend. Thank you Steve!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Cassandra and Matt, thank you so much for having me play on your special day. I loved that you kept it small and at a cottage on a lake.
All the best to you two!
Steve
As The Father of The Bride one of my assignments was organizing a Piper to be present for our McIntosh wedding. I made initial contact with a selected piper, Steve, who was extremely pleasant and accommodating with suggestions and tips etc. I delegated further contact to be between my daughter and Steve, which went off without a hitch.
The day of the wedding is always a little chaotic, but Steve quietly appeared at the venue on time, actually a little early, which was a prudent idea. The piping was perfect in tone, volume and tune selection and Steve could not have been more personable if he had tried.
I will be seeking his services out for future "Piping Required" events and would recommend anybody contemplating a Piper for whatever reason do the same .... you will not regret it!
Cheers
David McIntosh
Response from The Wedding Piper:
David thank you so much for such kind words, it was such an honor to play for Amy and Oliver's wedding. It was such a perfect venue and the service was beautiful.
They made such a great couple, I am sure they will have a lifetime of happiness.
Thanks again,
Steve Turner
Steve playing to pipe guests in was a huge hit with everyone coming to our wedding.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Michael thank you so much for allowing me to play for you on your special day. The Trinity Church was perfect, and the weather turned out to be in our favour.
Steve did a great job thank you
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you Otto, it was fun leading all the golf carts to the start of your tournament.
Best regards,
Steve Turner
Steve arrived on time and played as guests arrived over a two hour period. Then he piped in the guests of honour, my wife and I, for our 50th anniversary. We even danced the Gay Gordon. Steve added greatly to very festive afternoon.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Peter, thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure playing for such an amazing occasion. I am glad that the weather turned out perfectly for the day.
Best regards,
Steve Turner
Everyone adored Steve. Not only his amazing bagpiping talents but he was also a pleasure to talk to and had a wealth of information to share about the history and even his person history with bagpiping. Overall a very sweet and pleasant person and I will definitely hire him again in the future.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Amanda thank you so much for the kind words. I am so happy that I was able to play for you Mother's birthday. I am glad everyone enjoyed it. :)
All the best,

The Wedding Piper was very accomodating to try to make our wedding extra special. He even marched the wedding party through the resort to the ceremony! The piping was of course top notch as well.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Mark thank you so much for the kind words. Yours and Devine's wedding was spectacular with the lake as a backdrop. I am glad that I was able to be part of your special day.
Best Regards,
Steve Turner
We needed a last minute replacement and found Steve. If I have my way, we definitely would have him back for our event next year. He was professional, accommodating and couldn't be more kind of a human. Highly recommended.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Robert, thank you so much for the kind words. You did an amazing job at organizing this black-tie event, it went smoothly.
All the best,
Steve Turner
Fantastic Piper! Everyone enjoyed it.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you so much Sam! What a spectacular event, I am glad I was able to perform for you and your guests.
The Wedding Piper provided excellent service all around! Punctual, professional and polite. We booked for a Robert Burns dinner and he delivered a fitting performance. Definitely recommend!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you so much for the kind words Matthew. It was a great night with an amazing dinner.
He was dashing and dapper in his attire. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the bagpipes and happily answered questions we had. Tolerated playing outside on a cold January afternoon.
HIGHLY recommend!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Stacy, thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was a pleasure to play for your dad. It was so nice to see his toes tapping to the tunes. I am glad everyone enjoyed it.
He did a very nice job. He recommended songs when I asked that were appropriate and lovely. It was a beautiful send-off for my husband. Thank you highly recommend you!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Norma Jones, thank-you so much for the kind words. You husband's service was beautiful.
Best regards
Steve Turner
We had The Wedding Piper play a key role in the interment of my father. Steve was extremely empathetic, responsive to all of my calls/texts and helpful in determining the appropriate musical content given the format of our event.
He played beautifully and was extremely professional and respectful.
I would highly recommend his services!!!!!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Michelle, thank you so much for the kind words. It was an honour being able to play for the interment of your father. Take care,
Steve Turner
It was beautiful,well done,5 stars
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Robin thank you so much for the lovely feedback. I am glad that I was able to be part of yours and Chris's special day.
All the best,
Steve Turner
"Couldn't recommend highly enough, best service and now I would call you as a friend, Good Luck to anyone thinking they can find any better."
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. Ganesh the event was truly amazing, you guys outdid yourselves on the preparation and organization. It was honour being able to play for the recipients.
all the best,
Steve Turner
We had the very best day. Ceremony overlooking the dundas escarpment was so special. Wagon ride back to venue, fun! Delicious dinner served! Then…wait for it…dessert, farm fresh pies to be served. What’s that sound? Why it’s the entrance of the bagpiper bringing in the pies. As Steve Turner weaved his way around the tables playing his bagpipes with a bridesmaid behind him holding up a pie, the cheers, the tears, the laughter, the clapping, it was the most soul stirring, still talked about moment of our spectacular day. Steve Turner became our “Pied Piper for the day”! Steve then continuing playing as our guests headed to the dessert table, the music continued!!So…would we recommend Steve Turner, the Wedding Piper? Only if you want to have such a spectacular moment that your family, friends and guests will cherish and laugh and cry about for years to come!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Carolyn, I am speechless! Thank you so much, what a fantastic time. Yes, this was the first time I was the "Pied Piper", but I really think it should become a tradition... is there any other way a pie should be served. :) Thank you so much for having me play. I am glad that everyone enjoyed it.
All the best,
Steve Turner

Steve was very pleasant. He led our bride and groom into the reception hall while playing a number of tunes. The music was great! A unique addition to our Canadian/Scottish/Indian wedding. Very enjoyable performance. Thank you!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Kathy, thank you. It was such a pleasure meeting you and Patrick. Charlene and Sean were a perfect couple. I am so glad that I was able to play at this reception.
We had Steve play at our Father's Burial. From the first interaction and after the event Steve was professional, ready, organized and understood exactly what needed to be done. He is a phenomenal piper but also helped me choose a few songs. The Bagpipes brought joy to our event. Thank you again to Steve Turner!
Kelly, Kristine and Dan
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Kristine, it was an honour to be able to play for your father's internment. Thank you so much for your kind words. I am glad that you enjoyed my playing, we couldn't have asked for a nicer day.
All the best, Steve Turner
Steve did an amazing job at our small summer solstice wedding reception! He was perfectly dressed, well rehearsed, and had a great playlist for this event. Bride and groom were surprised and thrilled with his performance, and many guests complimented him on his technique and knowledge. Highly recommend him for any event!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Tim thank you so much for the kind words. It was an amazing event, and to see the smiles from the bride made my day! What a perfect day for a wedding.
Steve was an absolute pleasure to have on our wedding day. His piping was beautiful and everyone loved it! Highly recommend him for any event!!!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Kyla, thank you much for the review, I am glad that I was able to play on your special day. The venue you picked was amazing. Seeing the guests in kilts showing up as I played was nice. All the best, I wish you two a lifetime of happiness together.
I’d highly recommend Steve for any event!
I’m so grateful to have had Steve play for my fathers Celebration of Life.
Many compliments from just about everyone that attended.
Thank you so much ♥️

It was always a dream of mine to have a Piper at my wedding and we did! We only told my parents about Steve and the reactions from our guests were so memorable. From the first message exchange to our last Steve was professional, caring and knowledgeable about our song selection. I felt at ease and confident we were going to be so happy and we were blown away!
Steve you were our BEST kept secret. Thank you for making our day the most magical day in our lives!
Thank you so so much! Michelle & Adrian
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Michelle and Adrian thank you so much for the kind words, It was an amazing wedding. You were such a beautiful couple. I loved your dad's reaction to the pipes! I wish you both the best and a happy life together.
all the best, take care
Steve Turner
Steve was brought in to be the piper at our outdoor, mid-November wedding and we were very happy with his performance. The temperature was 100% a factor to the point that his reeds were freezing up but Steve still made the most of it and made it happen during the ceremony, not to mention the job well done piping everyone into the venue. We were so happy to have the pipes playing at our wedding and Steve was professional, talented and a great choice. He was done up to the nines in his kilt as well I might add. Would definitely recommend Steve for your bagpiping needs!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you so much for the kind words. Sarah and you were a beautiful couple. It was very nice to see all the kilts at this wedding. I do wish you both so much happiness, and again thank you for having me be part of your special day.
Steve did an outstanding job of piping beautiful Scottish hymns at my mom’s recent burial. Everyone at the burial remarked how beautifully Steve played and they really enjoyed meeting him. I recommend him highly! Kathy
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you so much, Kathy, it was an honour to play at your mothers memorial.
Take care
Steve
Steve arrived early to set up, we discussed the agenda once...he piped as folks arrived to the interment...each cue that we discussed was hit perfectly including the eulogies and actual burial. I would highly recommend Steve as a reliable professional who was able to make a very stressful day just a little bit easier...and much more beautiful!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you so much Ian for the kind words. It was an honour to play at your mother's service.
We hired Steve Turner to play at our informal graveside urn interment service for our mom. There were only 11 of us so it was quite an intimate gathering. Regardless, Steve did a good job supporting all our efforts to both mourn and celebrate our loss in a very sensitive way. He helped us to choose the music, provided an accompaniment for a dance, played well and, finally, went above and beyond with an impromptu final piece, Highland Cathedral. We highly recommend him.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Ann thank you so much for the lovely words. It was an honour to be able to play at your mother's service. To top things off I am glad that you were able to do the Scottish Lilt :) Take care and stay safe.

He was absolutely amazing! So professional and very sensitive to the venue. Would recommend 100%
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Jana thank you so much, it was an honour to be part of the service.
We had Steve come to play outside our mother's seniors' residence. Judging by how many people came out to listen, he was a big hit. Thanks, Steve!
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Janine thank you so much, I am so happy that you did the Fling!!! what a wonderful surprise :)

Response from The Wedding Piper:
Thank you so much, it was a pleasure meeting you. Hopefully we can work together again.
Steve was fantastic. I would recommend highly recommend him in the future to anyone who required a bag piper. He was so accommodating, personable, and played wonderfully.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Bryn thank you very much what a wonderful wedding. Siobhan was beautiful, you make a very happy couple. All the best.
Steve was very professional and right on time.. the way he seamlessly entered my Mums 70th Birthday party was perfect. The expression on her face was absolutely priceless. We will definitely be hiring Steve for our next event.
Response from The Wedding Piper:
Deana thank you so much, your mom was such a sweetheart. I will gladly play at any of your events.
My guests were so pleasantly surprised and we all enjoyed Steve tremendously!
Response from The Wedding Piper:

His kindness learning Waltzing Matilda for the Australian family made the event! Thank you Steve for sharing your wonderful talent with us! The other guests didn't want you to stop! We will absolutely be booking you again for future functions! It was a great pleasure to meet you. Thank you again for making this day so special for our wonderful Father, the tears in his eyes as you played said it all.
