Mariel Kerr, Wedding, Greenwich CT
"I just want to thank you for a magnificent performance on our wedding day. It was the perfect way to incorporate my Scottish heritage and everyone loved it- especially me!! I saw some great pics of various guests posing with you after Joe and I departed for the reception, further adding to the proof that everyone loved your performance. Thank you. You played no small part."
Kristin Harrington Georgina Shaw's Funeral, Milford CT
"Thank you so much for braving the traffic, snow, and frigid temperatures today. Your presence at my grandmother's funeral made it such a memorable and special day. My family and I were so thankful that you were able to make it. It is a real testament to you that you were able to get the pipes to play so beautifully in below zero temperatures.
Hearing the sound of the pipes made everyone
remember my grandmother's life rather than her passing. I was a nice
surprise to hear "Scotland the Brave" as you were leaving. Right after the
services we were all talking about how my grandma would have been tapping her
feet and humming to the music. Everyone was so impressed with how the
pipes sounded. I don't think any words could describe how much we
all appreciated how beautifully you played. You are a true
professional.
If you need any recommendations, feel free to have anyone
contact me at: k.harrington@eaglehill.org
as I wouldn't hesitate to give you glowing recommendations."
Louis Gaudio / Erika Fuery, Greenmanville Church, Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT
"Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day a truly special event. Louis and I could not have been more delighted to hear the sound of pipes as we approached the church. We have received numerous compliments regarding our ceremony and everyone has commented about how wonderful the bagpipers were. You are truly a professional and your presence helped make our day an incredibly wonderful and joyous occasion. Please feel free to use us as a personal reference as we would recommend your services to anyone without hesitation."
Tracy Castle / Andrew Newman , Kent CT.
"Both Andy and I had chills when you started
coming down the aisle to meet us playing Highland Cathedral. It gave me tears of
joy. Then as you reached the altar and did a quick turn and started playing
Scotland the Brave, we were filled with even greater joy. Both songs were
perfect and played so beautifully. It is one part of the ceremony that will stay
in my memory forever!"
