The Michigan Bagpiper

We booked Kim for a funeral and she was so helpful with appropriate music suggestions and the order. Also, when there were unplanned events within the ceremony, she went with the flow and everything seemed seemless A real pro and terrific musicianship.

Kim was great. She showed up ahead of time and performed beautifully.

Kim showed up on time for my moms memorial.she Played at the beginning and the end..it was beautiful,and all of the guests commented on how lovely it was.

Kim piped for our wedding in 2016. What better day to have Our Piper come for my wifes 70th birthday. Kim is just the best and you wont be sorry. She is now part of our Piper Family. You made Glorias heart shine today, Kim. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Cathy

We were so fortunate that Kim responded quickly and she was wonderful.

She went over the top great to work with knows her job made our wedding special that’s so much

great to work with.

Kim did a wonderful job in educating our patients about most aspects of Bagpiping and Bagpipes. She played some great and very well known tunes, including my favorite, Amazing Grace. Would have her back for another occasion for my patients.

Kim played beautifully for my Uncle's grave side service.

Kim piped at my wedding at the Royal Park Hotel conservatory. Her flawless piping transformed our venue into a sacred space, and there was not a dry eye in the room (all I could hear behind me when I got to the altar was the sounds of sniffling). Her song selections were perfect. We were so comfortable working with her from the first email contact through the planning process. We booked booked her from out of state, and she was was very responsive, which made things so easy. Her piping was the highlight of our wedding and a memory my husband and I will forever cherish. Thank you, Kim. You helped make our day a blessed event.

One of the best times I have had in a long time.she is amazing on those pipes.i will be having her back next year and many to come.

Kim made the party!!
My wife was moved to tears (happy ones) by Kim & her expert playing! I can not adequately express how much her attention to detail and concern that we were happy meant to us! Hire her! You will not regret it!!!

Kim was phenomenal on the pipes, very nice person to work with, and it was just what my dad deserved at his funeral, thank you Kim.

She did a beautiful job performing and everything went smoothly

Kim was a great part of Mom's final good bye. The best way to honor Moms blood line, with the music of her family.

Kim played beautifully during my son's (Benjamin) recent wedding. Kim arrived early, stayed late, was very pleasant, professional and accommodating to all requests. Many thanks for making the day so special! Miriam Devlin-Nichols

Michigan Bagpiper for All Occasions has piped for both of our daughters weddings. She is professional, on-time, works very hard and the sound is wonderful! Kim adds an ambiance to weddings that cannot be duplicated by a band or DJ. Having her pipe our daughter for the processional and recessional is a wonderful memory of her wedding.
Thank you Kim for a wonderful performance and making our daughters wedding a wonderful memory enhanced by your piping!

Kim did an absolutely wonderful job performing at my brother-in-law's funeral. Her piping was exceptional and she was professional, prompt and very talented!

Kim was great. She pick the music for me when I had no idea what I wanted and it was perfect. She was good with the guest and answered all their questions. She helped make our wedding something special. Thanks for the helpful hints and suggestions. Much appreciation for all you did. Thank-you!!

I arranged with Kim for her to warm up outside so she would walk in playing to surprise everyone and it was fantastic! She was right on time, sounded great, and the place just went crazy for her. It took place at a Golf Clubhouse with a buffet and drinks for my dad's old buddies plus family and she was a big hit! She even knew the all the songs I wanted to hear, the ones I used to hear growing up in a Scottish family! I'd recommend her to anyone.

It was a joy to have Kim play the bagpipes at the funeral luncheon for my very special Irish friend, John O'Connor. John always loved the bagpipes so I wanted them at his funeral luncheon.
Kim knew so many good tunes, We especially enjoyed Going Home and the military songs.
John's niece had her little 20 month old boy, Dominic, at the luncheon that day. He was very good but at times active. When Kim played the bagpipes he was so quiet and so interested in them. He was the best listener in the room. Thank you so much for your wonderful songs. It made it so special for you to be there.

I hired Kim for my sister's 60th birthday. She came to my home. It was a small gathering. Kim was very professional yet personable. She asked if we had any questions, gave us a brief history of her profession all the while entertaining us with her delightful music. I'm so happy I hired her.

Kim was marvelous at my father's memorial service. She was prompt in answering my emails prior to our engagement, she was already at the cemetery when we arrived for the service, and her beautiful piping created a memory my family and I will treasure. I highly recommend Kim to anyone seeking a professional, skilled Highland musician.

I was incredibly fortunate to work with Kim in short notice. She is incredibly personable, professional, and is literally a walking songbook of songs for the bagpipe. Kim's playing is spot on and her sense of timing could not have been better. I highly recommend Kim to anyone looking to hear bagpipes for any occasion. She's just simply a jem...

Kim arrived on time, in spite of a horrific storm, and was a pleasure to work with. She was dressed appropriately and is clearly a gifted piper. Very professional experience.

We had Kim come to my mother's funeral in March. I saw her information online and hired her from her website via email. She was fantastic. She showed up early, prepared, and played wonderfully! Everyone that showed up commented on how beautiful she played. For my family it meant the world. She played many Irish songs for us that we requested, Amazing Grace, Coming Home (which she suggested) and many other songs. She offered suggestions on what she thought might work and worked well to provide exactly what we wanted. She contacted me each time I emailed. She was worth every penny. It was my going away gift to my mom to honor her and my family. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to show up, thank you Kim for everything!

We hired Ms. Johnson to play at a funeral. She did an outstanding job, and everyone at the funeral (most of whom were of Scottish ancestry) agreed that it was the best that they had ever heard. Even the funeral director was impressed, and indicated that he would recommend her to his clients. We were extremely pleased with her services.

Kim is not only a wonderful piper (she was a part of a funeral service for some close family friends), she was also incredibly professional and amazingly thoughtful. She did not overwhelm the grieving family, but made sure that they knew that she would work with them to make the funeral service personalized and as special as the man for whom we had gathered. A piper was the one thing that the special man that we lost had asked for at his service. The family and I were so glad that that piper was Kim.

We can't say enough about Kim. She helped us surprise our family and guests at our wedding with her amazing playing. No one was expecting such wonderful pipes at our wedding, especially my grandmother and cousins from Scotland. Kim's talent and professionalism in the face of the weather challenges helped make our day wonderful. Highly recommend her for any occasion!

Kim was absolutly amazing! She worked with us on our song choices and gave her input as to what would sound best on our wedding day!! She always got back to our emails and questions immediately. She was friendly, professional, and all our guests raved about how beautiful she sounded! I would recommend her to anyone!! Flawless and incredible!!

We hired Kim to play the processional and recessional music for our wedding as a surprise to our guests. Words can not describe how surprised they were and how well it all turned out. Kim was professional throughout the entire time from booking to pictures afterwards. I would recommend Kim to any and everyone if they want a bagpipe player!

Kim provided bagpiping services for our wedding and she was all around excellent. She was very prompt in replying to my initial request, as well as to my numerous emails throughout the planning process. Kim also provided organ sheet music and worked with the organist at my church for a duet on a particular song I wanted for the processional. She piped outside the church as guests left the church, and I received numerous compliments on her music. All around, she was extremely helpful, pleasant, and talented. Would use her again in a heartbeat!

Kim, was excellent and helped us out to surprise my daughter for her wedding. Beautiful person.

My step-daughter,Tara was a piper and had played for many funerals when requested. She died on June 29 and we thought it fitting to have a piper to send her home. Kim did a wonderful job in a most professional manner. She knew what to play and when. Thank you Kim for bringing a fitting musical closing to Tara's life.

Kim arrived on foot in full regalia with Highland Pipes on a bright and warm sunny day, for a surprise private performance for my Scottish Mother on her birthday last month. Kim is superb piper with a lovely affable personality and a ready knack for putting her audience at toe-tapping ease as she works her way through an amazing repretoire of Celtic tunes. We thoroughly enjoyed her visit and gladly endorse her as an exceptional bagpipe entertainer.

Kim was just fantastic, everyone at our event loved her. She was just the BEST!!!!! I would not hesitate for one second to have her play again. Her skill at playing the bagpipes was superb!!!

Kim Johnson was absolutley wonderful. She is talented and very professional. Her response time was great, and she was very appropriate in every way. Thank you for the great experience.

very friendly very talented customized program explained bagpipes
provided extra entertainment joined the party outgoing would highly recommend (80th birthday party Masters restaurant)

I have already recommended Kim Johnson to family and friends in Michigan. Her sensitivity and beautiful talent in playing the bagpipes made for a beautiful, dignified and meaningful tribute for my mother's burial at Woodlawn cemetery. We will remember it always.

Kim performed her services at our elderly mother's funeral. Kim's performance was outstanding. Her presentation was highly professional. She placed herself on the fringes of the ceremony, allowing her music (not her) be the focus point and exhibiting true respect for the immediate and extended family and friends who very saying good-bye to a loved family member. Kim was very flexible with her schedule and with the church and funeral home personnel. She also recommended choices of songs appropriate for the event. Many people attending the service were highly complimetary of her presentation. Our family felt her services provided a beautiful send-off for our mom. Professional, well-skilled, outstanding music....we highly recommend Kim for your consideration.
