Wedding day piper

We were Beyond thrilled with Piper Gunn and cannot say enough about the incredible talent and presence he brought to our son and daughter in loves wedding. From the first note, his music set the tone for a day filled with emotion, elegance, and pure joy.
Hearing the bagpipes echo through the outdoor Chapel as the ceremony began was absolutely breathtaking - it gave everyone chills. The sound was powerful yet deeply moving, and it added such authenticity and spirit to our Scottish celebration.
Piper Gunn was professional, gracious, and clearly passionate about his craft. He arrived early, looked the part perfectly, and played each selection with such pride and heart. Our guests are still talking about how Unforgettable it was to hear the pipes ringing out across the grounds- it truly brought a sense of tradition and Magic to the day.
We will forever be grateful for the way Piper Gunn helped make the ceremony so meaningful. His music will always be one of our favorite memories from such a special occasion. Highly, highly recommend!

Wedding at Belle Terra Estates in Cabot Arkansas

Piper Gunn was amazing! He arrived early was wonderfully dressed and prepared. He has such a pleasant personality and was professional in his work. I would highly recommend him. He really made the wedding unique and special seeing that it was a Scottish ceremony and the grooms family are Scottish. They really appreciated him .

Thank you so very much. I am so glad that I was available on the dates requested to play such a beautiful wedding.
Also, the Wee Heavy Scotch Ale was the best I have ever sampled...

Well done

Piper Gunn was extremely good. He kept in communication with me and did the funeral service for my father even on very short notice. I can’t compliment him enough all the way around. Thank you.

Excellent talent and very professional

I had a funeral to arrange quickly and American Bagpipes stepped in and did an outstanding job. He was very professional and helped us say goodbye to my grandfather in a powerful and moving way. I would absolutely use American Bagpipes again. Thanks so much!

Excellent Piper!

Jason Gunn actually learned a tune I requested for my brother's funeral. We talked before and after the graveside service. He very dedicated to his art, has played the pipes for up to 30 years. I'm so happy he was the one who responded to my request. No one could have done better. Jason will be our Macgregor family piper
