I would love to play the bagpipes for any occasion or event you are planning. I have played many weddings, funerals, and school functions. I have played the pipes in countless parades, in Carnegie Hall, St. Patrick’s cathedral, and both Yankee and Shea Stadium. I have played for 9-11 firefighter memorial services, and the 100th birthday celebration of the Brooklyn Bridge. I am well versed in many different tunes and can adjust my repertoire to fit any event appropriately.

In addition to playing the bagpipes, I also make educational speeches to funeral directors on the appropriate etiquette for having a performer (such as a bagpiper) play at services.

Travel

I live in Orange county NY, and Pike county PA. I can travel to play anywhere in New York City, Long Island, the Hudson Valley region, Northern New Jersey, Eastern Pennsylvania, and Southern Connecticut. If your event is outside this area, please contact me to discuss the possibility of travel.

Bagpipe Music for your Wedding

For a wedding ceremony there are many ways to add the bagpiper to your service depending on the type of wedding you will have. We have placed wedding planning into four easy steps - all of which would be enhanced by the playing of a bagpiper: Arrival of bride at the church As the bridal couple leave the church As the limousine or bridal car arrives at the reception Playing the bridal couple to the head table

You can select a combination or all of the options above or request something new.

What my clients say…

Thank you again for making my daughters wedding day so special!Thanks for playing in the rain and cold and keeping it together under tough weather conditions.Loved all the medleys you selected as well. Everyone had great things to say about you playing at the church.”

Tom B, January 2019 Kevin was great! Showed up early like we had asked as we wanted the bagpipes to be a surprise for our guests. He played beautifully and was a pleasure to have with us on our special day. Great communication before hand also! Thanks again Kevin.”

Marc C, August 2018 With all of the uncertainties wedding planning can bring, Kevin let me know from day one that he stands by his word. He was out there in the rain, piping away. When I arrived at the church I felt immediately excited, because Kevin was already playing as guests were arriving. Kevin has a personality of someone you feel you have known for years and the professionalism of someone you would trust with your most treasured memories. He looked perfect and sounded “Amazing”. Thanks Kevin!”

Pam M, October 2008, Highland NY He was ontime, and considering the fact that there was a car fire on the highway and even the judge was late for the wedding ceremony, I was very pleased he was there. His performance was a gift to my new husband and our wedding guests. They all enjoyed his performance and his entrance was perfect. Thanks Kevin!”
