Hire again

Bruce was very professional and ontime. He was engaging with people in attendance at the celebration and even provided a few extra tunes. Would absolutely hire him again.

Celebration of Life

Bruce was absolutely wonderful! We had a Celebration of Life for my mother who recently passed away. She was born and raised in Scotland so it was important to have the pipes played at the celebration. Bruce was spot on playing while the picture slide show was played. He was so kind and took pictures with us. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect tribute to my mother.

Honored and Thankful

There are no words to express how appreciative and honored we felt to have Bruce playing at our funeral service.
Bruce was extremely flexible, accommodating, punctual, professional, understanding, and all around amazing!
Our service wouldn’t have been the same without him. We are forever grateful for Bruce.
