We had Will pipe our family out onto the river to scatter my amazing Scottish Mum’s ashes. He did a beautiful job. We had showed him where he could relax while we all said a few words before we wanted him to play again. But like a true pro he never left his spot, standing at attention for a good twenty minutes before we had him play more. Excellent experience! Thank you Will!
We had the pleasure of hiring Will and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The music added an unforgettable and unique ambiance to our niece’s wedding day. The bride and groom and many of their guests commented on how much they loved the performance and we couldn’t agree more. If you are looking for an exceptional bagpiper to elevate your event, look no further than Will Cooper. Highly recommend!
Great and efficient communications. The list of songs was perfect for the event. Very professional and on time. Everyone enjoyed it.
I engaged Will via the net to pipe at late Father's Celebration of Life 19 November in Orléans. He played wonderfully , especially the pieces specifically requested by my Mother . He is a mature young man of considerable talents and thus highly recommended for your event.

Will did an amazing job at my brother in laws funeral. His talent did not go unnoticed. I would definitely recommend him and use him again 😀 Thank you Will!!
Will was amazing, he piped my sons gasket in and out of the church leading the funeral procession and played of few more songs at the reception, it was all so heart warming and moving. All the attendees commented on his professionalism, his attention to detail and perfection. Great young man I would highly recommend Will for any occasion.
Will was an amazing addition to our event. He was punctual and talented ! When their was some mix up with the music for the wedding party, Will confidently stepped in and piped the wedding party down the aisle.
Will arrived early and in great spirits for the event. He was very professional and patient while we were waiting to start. And when he started to play - it was just amazing! Our friends and neighbours were delighted and so was my daughter on her birthday.
Thanks Will! I wouldn't hesitate to call you again!
Will has played for us several times. His music provides a ceremonial touch to any occasion. He provided some memorial music this summer and in the past he played for us at a 70th birthday and for Robbie Burns day. Will has also played his pipes while marching the streets of our neighborhood, gathering followers along the way. He has a fine Scottish wardrobe to complete the picture. Highly recommended for both solemn and festive occasions.

As an event planner, you can expect full highland garb if necessary, and I am well-versed in drill, having been an army cadet for 4 years, so I am able to play while marching should that be required. I can provide musical services for weddings, funerals, and anything in-between. I know all the classic tunes (e.g. Mairi's Wedding, Scotland the Brave, Amazing Grace, Auld Lang Syne, etc.), as well as many that are less well-known. If there's a particular song you'd like me to learn for the event, please provide at least two week's notice, and a copy of the sheet music if possible (Note: I may be unable to learn it in time should it be particularly difficult, I will try my best to let you know this at the outset). I also have a few outfits available for you to choose from, so your event can be exactly as you envisioned it.

Given the fact that bagpipes are naturally quite loud, no special requirements are needed. All I request is that if I am expected to march on, I be given a clear path to do so.
