Overview
The sound of the bagpipes can add something special to your event. With over 18 years of performance experience, I am a versatile bagpiper who will do my best to make your event as special as possible. I can adapt my performance to meet your needs.
I have performed at weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, funerals, golf tournaments, charity events, parades and much more. I have also played in opening ceremonies for the PGA tournament, 9-11 Remembrance Ceremony for the Atlanta Braves, the Atlanta Opera and at the Fox Theater with the Chieftains.

February 7, 2022Perfect!
Dennis responded quickly and communicated very well throughout the entire process. He was very detail oriented with the planning stage and arrived on time. He and his wife put on a superb performance and were very cordial and friendly to talk to. I would recommend and use Dennis again in the future for any pipe and drum occasion.

May 23, 2026Delivered perfectly, great to work with.
Dennis was a great communicator and made my wedding day extra special by carrying on a family tradition of bagpipes at our wedding.
Thank you!

December 30, 2025If you need a piper...
Dennis communicated readily, was very professional, played beautifully, and did not complain when we ran a little over time. He called and thanked me after the event.

December 21, 2025Great help in planning presentation
Dennis and Denise helped orchestrate a great finale to the wedding reception. To the surprise of the everyone, Dennis and Denise, dressed in colorful garb and playing Scottish tunes, followed the newlyweds on their walk from the reception hall, cheered on by family and friends lining the path to a red carpet and their chauffeured-driven car.

What to expect
I am a full time professional musician. I believe in working with my clients to insure the best possible performance to meet their needs.
I believe in arriving early to every performance. Most of the times I play are highly emotional and I believe that having a musician be the least stressful.
I also am willing to try and deliver music you want or would like. The bagpipe is a very limited instrument in range. I will be up front with you and let you know if the piece of music you want is possible. I will make every effort to have it ready for your performance if I can with in the time frame.
