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 provide bagpipes in highland regalia for funerals, weddings, birthday parties, and for other special events (e.g. Christmas party, private parties, demonstrations for schools, Sporting events, Scouting Ceremonies and church services).
I am an experienced musician with 25 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.
Matt was amazing. Once we booked through gigsalad he reached out through email to find out more details about our wishes and our event. He communicated well and really listened to what we wanted and NAILED IT. He showed up early. The weather had taken a turn the day of our event and was much colder than anticipated, which makes it MUCH harder to play the pipes. He handled the unexpected change with ease and really delivered. I really loved that he showed up in full highland regalia. It was a great touch and really added to our celebration.
Would highly recommend Matt for your event.
He was so awesome and great to work with! Highly recommend
Had Bon Piper for my sister's memorial very professional and beautiful music would not hesitate to hire again giving him 5 stars but if I could would give him 10 Thank you so much Bon Piper
BonPiper was wonderful! He arrived early and was patient when the microphone at the club wasn’t working. He sounded great! Everyone loved it. Made our celebration of life for my father in law even more special. Thank you!
I had BonPiper play at my wedding during the recessional. After my husband and I were pronounced husband and wife and getting ready to walk down the aisle he started playing and it was such a beautiful moment and tribute to my Scottish heritage! He was absolutely amazing! The goal was for him to be a surprise to guests so I asked him to hide out until the right moment and he did! No one knew he was there!
We could not have asked for a better piper. He was prompt, professional, accommodating, and an all around great person. We are thrilled to have had him on our special day. Highly recommended.
Wonderful experience pretty much made the wedding! Thank you
He was excellent. Great communication. Punctual. His audience loved him and he added a great addition to our Farmers Market and All Together Fremont Event: Celebrating Cultural Diversity in our Community.
Mike did a wonderful job for us at the funeral mass. It was exactly what we wanted
Hello! This was a surprise for my mother on St. Patrick's Day. Due to COVID and her fight with cancer it meant a lot to her daughters to give her this surprise. My parents still can't stop talking about Matt! As they describe it; Matt was professional, very well dressed, personable, excellent music, beautiful car and they loved the whole experience. Neighbors and passing cars even stopped to enjoy the show! Many thanks to Matt!
Best regards, Juliana Fuller
Response from BonPiper:
Thanks for the kind words, Juliana. It was a beautiful day and a relaxing drive for me. Your parents were lovely to talk to, and the neighbors were a nice surprise as well.
I booked BonPiper for my wife's birthday and she loved the surprise. BonPiper was very professional and sounded great.
My family has faced some insurmountable obstacles this last year. We lost our lovely mother three months ago after many months of only being able to communicate by phone through the window of an assisted living facility. My handsome young nephew was diagnosed with aggressive ALS which he is bravely battling. My father is 92 and still very active independ. Unfortunately his body and spirits have worn down during all this. Our family has always been close even though we are separated geographically and by Covid. We were looking to find a way to connect and bring some joy into my father's life. I saw this sight GigSalad on line and began searching for bagpipes. My dad has always been intrigued by them. GigSalad immediately set me up with Matt Bon Piper Boggs. We conversed and set a time and date. He drove 2 hours to get here in 35 degree weather to do a surprise performance in my father's driveway. He was kind and connected with our family quickly. It was physically a small audience due to Covid but we social distanced and most were cozied in there car to enjoy the music. I can't even begin to expression of joy on all of our faces. He was very interactive with everyone and put a very upbeat happy performance. He even did an AC/DC number for us on request. He then traveled to a near by assisted living facility to play for the residents there. Both the staff and residents were so excited at his being there. They hadn't been able to provide entertainment in a year due to Covid. He played out side, walking from window to window as the residents smiled and waved to him. I know that this is lengthy, but it was truly more than just listening to music. He lifted alot of spirits that day. Will definitely use the sight again in the future and have Bon Piper back for an encore preformance
Response from BonPiper:
So glad that I was able to play for you and your lovely family. I wish that it could have been warmer and also wishing that I hadnt worn those boots ! Many thanks for the very touching review and for uploading photos. I will remember your kindness and generosity. Thank you, Lynn
He met every expectation and request. Easy to communicate with, on time, performed beautifully. Thank you Matt!
Very awesome communication skills. Arrived Early, absolutely beautiful and everyone was so impressed. Very emotional and a perfect send off for my Grandma.
Excellent piper, he did a wonderful job. I would recommend him to anyone.
Matt Boggs was professional, prepared, polite and a fantastic piper!! Very highly recommended!
My Mother had requested that "the Pipes be Played" at her funeral.
I found the man for the job with "Rockinpiper".
It was a small service in the hills of Ohio, at a Chapel that's been standing almost 200 years. The event was not publicized other than by family and friends.
As the pipes began to echo through the hills those not in the know, knew then, the old woman was gone.
I, as her son, received several calls expressing their sympathy, with compliments to the Pipes.
Thanks Matt, for a job well done.
Response from BonPiper:
Thank you, Jeff. It was an almost magical feeling driving through the hills to get to that beautiful little chapel. Everything fell into place nicely. I felt very welcomed by you and your family and felt humbled and honored to be a part of the service.

Matt called to discuss the arrangements for my GrandFather's funeral to make sure everything was correct the day before. He showed up early and was professional the whole time. He did an AMAZING job honoring my grandfather. It brought tears to everyone's eyes and a smile to their hearts. I know my grandfather enjoyed it in spirit. I would highly recommend RockinPiper to anyone! I would love to hire him again for an event in the future.
Matt was very professional. He was on top of making sure he was in the right place when needed... All went smoothly for my Dad's memorial.. thanks again Matt!
Hired the RockinPiper as an entertainment surprise for our daughter and son-in-law at their big Italian/Irish wedding. Matt was easy to work with in the planning stage and cooperated with the logistics of getting him into the venue and "hidden" until the right moment. Everyone was delighted with his performance. It was a great experience. Would definitely call on again.
I hired the RockinPiper to play when I proposed. He was very easy to work with, showed up promptly, and played very well. I hope to hire him again for the wedding!
