Review by Candi B.

Nursing Home Event•Reviewed on September 19, 2026•From Denison, TX

Don was wonderful! My residents loved him. He is very personable and took time talking with the residents after his performance. Don is very talented and came dressed for the occasion. This was an amazing experience for our staff and residents. I would highly recommend Don for your next event.

Funeral•Reviewed on July 1, 2026•From Coppell, TX

In my humble opinion, Don Shannon is one of the best bagpipe musicians that I’ve ever heard. Having a military and law enforcement background, I’ve had the occasion to hear many over the years. Don played three (3) songs at my brother’s funeral (ie., Amazing Grace, Danny Boy, and Coming Home). There wasn’t a dry eye in attendance. Although it was a very sad event, Don made it special and unforgettable. He gave my brother a special and honorable send off. I strongly recommend Don for any occasion. He’s a pleasant man, respectful, accommodating, and an awesome musician. Thanks Don for everything!!! Respectfully The Cox family

Don played the bagpipes for my husband's funeral last weekend. Aside from everyone being in tears playing Amazing Grace, he was prompt and did an amazing job. Very professional. Highly recommended.

Funeral•Reviewed on April 17, 2026•From Argyle, TX

Don was incredibly friendly, agreeable, and professional. He really embraced the sentiment of our event (mother's funeral) and really wanted to honor her with his music, which made the whole experience less transactional and more impactful.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on November 10, 2024•From Chatfield, TX

I would highly recommend Don Shannon! Not only is he professional, Don is very musically talented and personable. He was a great communicator and showed up early to my mom’s memorial service, even driving over an hour to the location. He offered recommendations of musical pieces to be played and his performance made the service most memorable for those who attended because of his contribution.

:

Susan. Thank you so very much for your kind words. It was an honour to be a part of the wonderful service and I'm glad you liked the music selections. Take care and thank you again for hiring me. Don.

Don Shannon is a true talent and a fine gentleman. He expressed sincere condolences to our family and played beautifully at my husband's memorial service. It was such a comfort to all of us. I would highly recommend Mr. Shannon for any event.

Review by Scott L.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 2, 2024•From Grand Prairie, TX

Don has excellent communication skills, notified me immediately upon my request. During our consultation I grasped he understood the vision we had for our special Military event. He continued open communication prior to our event. The day of the event he arrived early and confirmed all details again to assure nothing had changed. His performance was simply magnificent! Our Veterans and attendees were very touched by his memorable performance. Would highly recommend this professional and will be on the top of my list for future Personal events.

:

Hi Scott. Thank YOU sir for having me be a small part of you truly moving event. It was an honour to be there. Take care sir and keep up your amazing work. Don

I would highly recommend Don Shannon for any event looking for a top notch piper!

Review by Kelly S.

Funeral•Reviewed on March 22, 2024•From Frisco, TX

I honestly cannot say enough about how wonderful Mr. Shannon was. He was so professional….arriving far earlier than requested to make sure that he was there on time when we needed him to be. He was so friendly and treated us with such compassion and care, knowing that the event was for my sister’s funeral and that we were going through a tough time. He played beautifully, dressed the part and was a joy to work with from start to finish. His pricing was great and I definitely will use him for any future events.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 8, 2024•From Fort Worth, TX

Don Shannon is the best! Not only is he a bastard at playing his bagpipes? He was courteous, professional, accommodating, witty, and just an overall joy to work with. With him we made a spectacular wedding. You will not regret hiring this man for any event, large or small, Mr. Shannon can do it all

Don was everything we could have asked for plus some. He made the funeral service something everyone will be remember for a long time. His choice of tunes was far better than I could have come up with.

Don’s performance was amazing. It really transformed the wedding experience for our guests. In the weeks leading up to the event, he was thorough and super easy to work with. Best piper in the area.

Don Shannon is a delightful Irish ?? man with a gift for playing the bagpipes. He was early for our event, dressed smartly, eager to meet our residents and visit, and , he played a set that everyone loved. I highly recommend Don for any event that needs a piper.
