Overview

The Highland Bagpipes are an amazing instrument that make memorable moments even more special. I have performed for the family of the President of the United States, wedding, funerals, and numerous other occasions. I also play with a bagpipe band in the West Michigan area.
I am willing to travel out of the Grand Rapids area, with travel expenses that compensate for time and mileage.

It was everything and more!!

At The Scheltema Barn
In Caledonia, MI
Tom did a magnificent job surprising everyone at my daughter’s wedding.
When Tom started to play in the grand field where the ceremony was held. The air was filled with him playing his bagpipes 🎶
His performance was the talk of the even.
This is a memory that will last a life time.
Thanks again Tom
You pulled it off with your busy schedule and you fit us in at the last minute.
It was magical

A real trooper!

We had Tom play at our daughter's outdoor wedding and and the sky opened up. Tom didn't miss a note, he played on like it was nothing. He kept in communication with us during his time there to make sure he was playing what and where needed. The event got a but confusing and hurried due to the rain but Tom looked for me and was very accommodating.
I would definitely use Tom again and recommend him to others!

Tom played at our stepdad’s funeral. His bagpipe repertoire was the perfect arrangement to say our goodbyes to. Tom’s presence was just what we needed to honor a great man of God. All who attended were so appreciative of Tom’s professionalism and musical gift and look forward to having him play at future events.

Wonderful music for a wedding

We had two Scots getting married, so of course we had to have bagpipes for our daughter’s wedding. The bride and groom had a long walk across a field to get to the reception in a barn, and Tom piped them in. It was a surprise for the guests, and they were absolutely delighted. Tom knew exactly what to do. The music he played was perfect, and he greeted the guests and the bride and groom. He played only a few tunes, but they had a great impact and created a memorable moment. I would highly recommend him.

What to Expect

I will arrive dressed properly in highland attire, for whatever your occasion. For weddings and funerals I will be more formerly dressed, but can also be more casual if the occasion calls for it. I seek to be flexible for the needs of the client, whatever they are looking for.

I can play upbeat tunes, as well as slow, suiting the occasion. I have led groups walking while playing from one location to another, in church, or outside.

Travel Expense Note
Outside of 30 miles Travel mileage and time combine to make my service more costly, but if you are not able to find someone closer, are seeking my personal expertise, and prepared to pay a premium fee, I would be happy work up a quote.

About

I have been playing pipes for over 40 years, and have played for almost every kind of occasion. As a pastor in the Grand Rapids area, I have a great deal of flexibility during the week for whatever your special requires.
Whatever your event bagpipes will make it even better. I seek to tailor each event personally, so it will be a special memory for those who attend. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
