Born and raised in Scotland, I have lived in US since 2005. I grew up playing the bagpipes in the Highlands of Scotland and have been a Professional Piper for over 20 years.
I still compete in solo contests at the highest level, both in Scotland and all over North America, so you can be assured of the highest quality performance!
The bagpipes adds that extra special touch to any event, whether it is a wedding celebration, coporate event, or perhaps you are looking for that moving rendition of Amazing Grace to remember that special one.
I will be sure to consult with you before the event so each and every detail is covered.
Brian McKenzie
Bagpiper in Iowa
Brian played for the 75th "birthday" of my 1939 Matthews 40-foot wood-hulled twin-engine cruising boat here in Washington State, a boat built by a Scotsman in 1939. The boat's original 1939 name was and still is Pied Piper. With a bottle of Dalmore whisky on the deck of the boat, that we all shared (friends and Brian too, who is now a friend), we had the best of times. Slàinte.
Brian played for our Mothers funeral. He did an excellent job on short notice. We especially were impressed with his playing of Amazing Grace and how he faded away. Very emotional. Thanks Brian!
Brian was awesome!! He was on time, played his heart out, the family and friends were very impressed with him. Thank you Brian for making my husband funeral one we all were proud of the service. The bagpipes were that special touch that we knew Michael would have loved!!
He was prompt, friendly, accommodating and charming.
Brian did a great job at the funeral service for my dad. I did not have the chance to speak with him in person, but we were extremely pleased with all aspects of his services. Very professional, and very talented.
Brian was great!! He provided exactly what we wanted. A joy to work with.

Brian performed with technical precision and Scottish soul. Not a dry eye was in our church as over 200 parishioners were piped out of the church to Going Home and Amazing Grace.
Brian thank you from the bottom of our hearts for that special touch to an sad event ❤️ Hope you see you in Enumclaw 👍 You are AMAZING .
Brian is the consummate professional. He plays beautifully and definitely added a wonderful touch to our memorial service. Can't recommend him highly enough.
Brian was early in his arrival time. He made our memorial so special and memorable. People stopped and listened with a sense of kindness and appreciation for his talent. He will always be my number one choice without hesitation. I hope the next time we see him it will be at joyful time. Thank you from all of us. Much appreciation. Mary
Brian did an incredible job playing Amazing Grace at my husband's memorial service. I would give him my business again in a heartbeat.
Brian was very professional in every way. He made sure to get every detail before the event, he was early, in his full dress attire, and was absolutely AMAZING!!!! I can't tell you how many people expressed their gratitude for such an outstanding performance.
Everyone really enjoyed the bagpipes and thought you were superb! Thank you again
Brian was certainly a brilliant piper. My guests loved him! He was great at going with the flow and was able to exceed our expectations. Perfect wedding piper! Thank you!!
Brian was wonderful! Friendly, personable, and all of our guests enjoyed his playing, we hope to have Brian come to additional functions in the future.
Brian was excellent. He was everything we hoped for and expected. He showed up early, played very well and fit our ceremony perfectly. His uniform and instrument were authentic.
Brian played Amazing Grace beautifully as we carried my Mom to the hearse. She was honored in the best way possible. Thank you from all of my family.
