Overview
Being a bagpiper is a strong thread that is interwoven within the fabric of my soul. I am proud to be "the piper" for people's special days, whether they be happy or sad occasions.
I am an experienced musician with many years of bagpiping experience. I am a professional person who is prompt to arrive at all events and I communicate very well throughout the process.
Additional Considerations:
Hiring a bagpiper adds a unique and impactful musical experience to both traditional and modern events.
Bagpipes can be played both indoors and outdoors, though tuning is highly weather-dependent.
I can be booked via Cameo for personalized videos (birthday, Mother's day, St Patrick's Day, etc...)

July 4, 2026Beautiful Music
BonPiper played the bagpipes for my husband's graveside memorial. His beautiful music made for a wonderful experience as my husband was always very proud of his Scotts-Irish roots. Everyone stated later how much they loved the bagpipes!
BonPiper was very friendly from the beginning with planning to the end with offering his condolences. He was very professional and dressed in the appropriate attire.
I would highly recommend BonPiper to anyone and would love to hear him play again!

This is the second time I've used BonPiper and both times he was been wonderful! I am a funeral director from a small town and finding someone to play the bagpipes is almost impossible. Matt is a great communicator and showed up early for the events and his skills are amazing. My families are always beyond happy with his services!

Matt was great. Very professional and respectful. Even understood when the location changed due to storm damage at the cemetery. I would absolutely recommend him.

For funerals, celebration of life, memorial events:
This is very important to me to present the bagpipes with honor and dignity. I dress in traditional Highland attire ( traditional kilt, button down shirt, vest, jacket (depends on setting).
