It was very easy to give David a full 5 star ranking! From our initial contact with him through to his performance on our wedding day David was courteous and professional, we simply could not have asked for more from him. On the day itself his wonderful pipe playing, amazing full highland dress and warm personality made him a huge hit with our guests! We also really appreciated his going the extra mile with individual touches such as a Gaelic toast, Selkirk grace and even a greeting in Punjabi!! If you are looking for a piper for your wedding or other event we're confident you would never regret booking David.

David piped at our wedding. David was absolutely fantastic, he was the icing on top of the cake. He wore our family MacLachlan tartan. He piped myself and my Dad into the church, he then piped Jim and I out of the church. Our wedding venue was another hours drive in the opposite direction for David, he rang a few days before the wedding and very kindly offered to drive the extra distance and pipe us into our wedding breakfast. This was truly amazing. David touched so many hearts on our wedding day. I would highly recommend David to anyone! Thank you so much!
