"Catherine's professionalism was brilliant. She was unable to perform for our wedding. However, her husband stepped in and he played beautifully. We were grateful that she was able to organise an alternative for us and that her husband Steven could play just as well. We had so many comments at our wedding about how lovely it was to hear the pipes being played. We would highly recommend both Catherine and Steven for their communication, professionalism and flexibility to ensure that ‘the show must go on’. It has been lovely working with them both over the last year. "

"John was the business from start to finish- from the moment we started communicating with him, everything was nice and easy, and stress free for our wedding day plan. He arrived on the day way ahead of schedule, was set up and played us into our venue, and then to our guests while having dinner. It really made the atmosphere perfect. John is incredibly talented and it was a pleasure to have him play on our wedding day. Thanks John, you're a gent! Mr and Mrs Lawlor "
