"David was perfect! He played beautifully and gave that special touch to our day. It was quite a hot day on our wedding day so hats off to him in his full traditional wear! He was extremely friendly and was happy to take photos with ourselves and our guests. We would highly recommend David."

"We booked Tom Johnstone with the full number 1 dress and he did not disappoint. Tom called me the week before to confirm all details of the big day, he was there when he said he would be and looked and sounded very professional. I would totallyrecommend him to anyone looking for a wedding piper"

"David was fantastic! He created a great atmosphere piping in the guests as they arrived and later piping in the haggis. He read an incredible Address to the Haggis which had everyone gripped and there has been such positive feedback from all of our guests that his performances really made the event. We would love to welcome him back to play at our next Burns Supper and would definitely recommend him to others."

"This is now the 3rd year Tom has played for my Father and Uncles memorial. He has always been very accommodating with times and choice of tunes. Even created CD's at my request(enquire with Tom). Tom's experience, knowledge and professionalism is second to none and always comes first! Last minute requests, he takes in his stride. He has many fascinating stories to tell. Above all, he is a true gentleman. As always Tom, thank you and look forward to next year"

Thank you Graeme! It was wonderful to see you and your family members again and to play for your Mum in South Africa again! The nice weather helped! Hope to see you again next year! All the best!

"I wanted to book a piper for my dad's wedding at very short notice, less than a week! Colin responded to my message very quickly and luckily he was available. Although I couldn't give him much information straight away ie times, songs etc and probably only being given a day to prepare by the time he got the information, Colin was very professional and let us get back to him in our own time. On the day Colin played brilliantly, my dad was over the moon and there was a lot of great comments made about him. I would highly recommend to anyone."

"Thank you so much Richard for playing at my darling wife's passing. She loved Scotland and the sound of the pipes. Everyone was so moved by your lovely playing. Thank you for playing the tunes Amazing Grace, The Dark Island and The Battle's O'er - the first two tunes were my wife's favourite ones and the last summed up her valiant fight against her illness. God bless you."

"We hired Lewis to play the bagpipes at our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the moment we first reached out, he was professional, responsive, and helpful in selecting the perfect tunes for the ceremony and reception. Thank you, Lewis , for making our day even more magical!"

"I hired Gordon to pipe in guests for my husband’s surprise party and for when my husband arrived, everything one loved it especially my husband as he is very proud of his Scottish roots. Communication through Encore was easy and hassle free and would definitely use them again"
