We are very experienced bagpipers having played at hundreds of weddings, funerals, and other events. We are full time professional bagpipe instructors and performers. We will play for all occasions and are readily available for last minute bagpiping needs. We can provide any group size from a single piper, a piper and a drummer, two or three pipers, or a full highland pipe band.

August 15, 2025From my initial online search to find a bagpiper for a special event, to requesting quotes on gigsalad, to hearing back almost immediately from bagpiper Mike Breidenbach, to messaging back-and-forth with Mike to confirm all the necessary details, to online payment, to Mike arriving on the day of the event early with a smile and plenty of time to go over last minute questions, to his perfect performance... I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience of hiring Mike and going through gigsalad.
