Jake is the best!

We couldn’t have been happier with Jake. He listened to what we were looking for and made it happen. And on short notice. Would you use him every time if I lived in the area. If you do, Jake’s your guy. Slainte!

The frosting on the wedding cake!!

Jake's talented performance of Highland Cathedral as our Church wedding's Recessional was such a surprise hit! He was professional, dependable, flexible...and very charming. Thanks, kudos and much love, Jake.

Melissa’s Service

Jake was tremendous and caring. He played four songs and would have played more if needed. He had very kind words for my wife, Melissa and me. He is a true musician. He dressed in the Scottish uniform which was awesome and he was very well groomed. Carried himself very well when playing the pipes. I would recommend him for anyone needing a piper. He even made very nice comments days before the service. Such a great guy.

Outstanding Piper

Jake was an awesome piper. My wife is from Scotland and she and her other Scottish friends were impressed with him. He texted us very early to see if we wanted any special tunes and my wife wanted a few. 1 of the tunes he didn't know but learned it for her. Jake showed up early and got ready. We have another child getting married in November so we will be definitely be booking with Jake again.

Made all the difference with our event!

Jake did an amazing job. We had a fun crazy crowd and he entertained everyone with a keen sense of being able to read the room. LunaSea is a big venue and he managed to cover the entire place, spreading much bagpipe love. Thanks so Jake!
