Michael was extremely professional and communicative throughout the year, and a delight on the day of the event. His live rendition of God Only Knows brought several people to tears. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a multi-talented stress-free DJ! More...

Really enjoyed working with Michael as our DJ for our wedding. During the planning process he was easy to communicate with and helped us come up with a plan for the big day. He asked all the right questions and paid attention to the details I wouldn’t have thought about. He set up the sound for our ceremony which went flawlessly. He announced our grand entrance and kept us on our timeline for dinner, cake cutting and first dance. Lastly, everyone had an absolute blast on the dance floor. More...

We cannot recommend Michael, our guitarist/DJ enough! The hybrid live music and DJ setup was absolutely perfect and created the best atmosphere from the ceremony through the reception. Having live guitar during the ceremony added such a personal, elegant touch, and the seamless transition to DJ services kept the energy going all night long. One of the most meaningful moments of our day was walking down the aisle to a song that our guitarist learned especially for my love of Top Gun! It meant so much that he took the time and care to make our vision come to life, and hearing it performed live made the moment even more special. Throughout the entire process, Michael was professional and responsive, He made every part of the day flow effortlessly to include adding last minute microphones in for a reading. If you’re looking for someone who can provide both beautiful live music and an amazing DJ experience, we wholeheartedly recommend Michael. More...

Phenomenal experience. He did a wonderful job, met our music taste perfectly, kept the wedding running smoothly, and very obviously knew what he was doing. Gave us guidance at all the right times and was flexible to every situation the night threw at him. Everything was perfect. Thank you Michael! More...

Michael was amazing! He was professional and communicated well throughout the process. He was also great about coordinating with our other vendors on timing and content. Most of all, his bagpiping was loved by both us as a couple and our guests! Many guests specifically complimented his playing, including a Scottish uncle. The ceremony music was stunningly beautiful and music throughout was both meaningful and appropriate. I don't think we could have selected a better musician, MC, or DJ. We can't emphasize enough what a smart choice it was to hire him. More...

First and foremost, the experience with Michael was amazing. His bagpiping and DJing were perfect, in performance, timing and musical selection management. He honored all our requests and brought his professional expertise to the event. In addition to the outstanding musical aspects, he was professional and obviously experienced in his communications and navigating the event. He worked extremely well with the other vendors in ensuring that we didn't have to worry about anything during the day. He played the bagpipes, managed the music during the cocktail hour and meal, facilitated our grand entrance and toasts during the meal, and DJed like a rock star at the reception. It is an extraordinary value to hire Michael to do all these things and have them done so well! We cannot recommend him enough if you want all those things at your wedding. More...

Michael provided the music for our recent wedding at Mirabelle at Beaver Creek. His talent on both the bagpipes and acoustic guitar was stellar and was a significant part of setting an incredible atmosphere for the entire event. Michael arrived early on the Big Day and was kitted out appropriately in Highland Dress. He stood outside Mirabelle playing a medley of highland pipe standards that greeted our arriving guests. He then escorted the Bridal Party into the venue to Highland Cathedral. During the ceremony he played more highland standards to punctuate the beauty and solemnity of the moment. Michael switched to acoustic guitar, playing a range of standards that lent elegance and charm to the cocktail hour and throughout the wedding dinner. His music was lovely and lent to the magical atmosphere. Everyone was charmed by Michael and his talents, noting that his bagpiping was a memorable part of the 4+ hour wedding. We highly recommend Michael for your special event. He was an important element in a beautiful day! More...

Michael was a huge part of making our day so special. My now wife wanted a bagpiper more than anything for our ceremony, and not only is Michael a wonderful bagpiper but also an awesome DJ. He saved us a lot of money by doing both at a much more reasonable price than if we hired two different people. Michael arrived exactly when he said he would despite horrendous traffic that day. His creativity with DJing kept an eclectic group of people dancing all night. He was great with communicating changes and updates as well as adjusting to small changes through out the night. On top of his professionalism, Michael was genuinely a nice guy to work with. More...
