Overview

Piper for all occasions
The great highland bagpipes bring a special touch to the most important events in peoples lives. Leading the bride and groom from the church and playing for the receiving line is a great way to make your ceremony standout. A piper, in full highland regalia, can make any party, service or ceremony special. And the sound of the pipes as special friends or relatives are laid to rest, makes for a meaningful service. Various uniforms from formal dress to full military, either Scottish or Irish can be worn according to the activity. Fees vary depending on the event, location, and length of time. Please contact me for a no obligation quotation.

North Sky Piper was truly awesome! 5 Stars!

Piper Don was absolutely wonderful! He played at our Son's wedding this past Saturday. He followed every one of our requests of him, right down to the color of his kilt! Trust me when I say you will not find a more friendly or professional Piper!

About

I am the Pipe Major for the Celtic Cross Pipes and Drums of Danbury and have been playing for more than 18 years. I have played for many funerals, weddings, special recognition parties, graduations, memorials and for special dignitary events.

Piping isn't just my job, it's my passion. Whether it's a work event, family reunion, military service, or wedding, I want to be the piper that you will recall.
