Review by Sean K.

Wedding•Reviewed on April 22, 2024•From Chesaning, MI

Donald Ross was very professional and experienced in leading and organizing my son’s wedding he played for us. The years of experience and personal touch was obvious immediately. I fully recommend him for any event! Of course the music he played was great as well!

Funeral•Reviewed on December 20, 2023•From Trenton, MI

Donald played at my brother's funeral, his haunting music had a tear in everyone's eyes (can't have a good send-off without a river of tears). Donald was respectful, genuinely sympathetic and personable. I highly recommend Donald if you need a Piper. (His kilt was ridiculously legit)!!!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on October 24, 2023•From Mendon, MI

I really can't say enough wonderful things about Mr. Ross. I'm so relieved I found such a talented professional bagpiper to perform at my parents' joint memorial. Both of my parents had special requests regarding songs they wanted to have played - including a slow "Hail to the Victors" for my dad. Donald not only rose to the occasion, but played with complete mastery and poise. When he finished with "Too-Ra-Loo" the lullaby my mother sang to all her children and grandchildren, there wasn't a dry eye to be found. Donald Ross brought profound professionalism and kindness to a delicate situation. Thank you, Donald.

Donald Ross added just the right touch to the burial of our father. When words don’t suffice, Donald’s music was the send-off we wanted. We were also grateful for his advice on protocol, the order of service, and finding the right songs.

In addition to having a great name, Donald is an excellent Piper. We reached out to him at the last minute to play at my mother’s funeral. He was prompt to respond and very easy to work with. He hit all of right notes with regards to the tunes he played, including my mother’s favorite the Barren Rocks of Aden. He played at both the church and at the gravesite and helped us send my mother out in the style she wanted. Thank you from all of the Moore’s.

Private Party•Reviewed on October 17, 2022•From Walled Lake, MI

We had Donald Ross perform at a Celebration of Life event. He far exceeded our expectations. Family members said his excellent bag piping helped them process their emotions and heal. It was a very emotional.experience for many of the people at the party. Donald is a very friendly,outgoing, competent bag piper who was very easy and comfortable to work with, and we would recommend him for any event looking for a bag piper

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on August 27, 2022•From Toledo, OH

He reached out several times to clarify the arrangements, including coordinating with the venue manager as his appearance was a surprise and he was magnificent! Exactly what I was hoping for. Price was beyond reasonable and I highly recommend him. Thank you so much Donald for making my vision for a wonderful evening rehearsal dinner so perfect.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 17, 2022•From Utica, MI

Donald was excellent at my Mother's memorial mass. He played outside the church prior to the mass as guests were walking in to the chuch. Guests commented how beautiful it was to hear him play as they were walking in. Having played at the church before he played Amazing Grace with the church organist at the beginning of the mass. Simply beautiful. Mom would have loved it. Donald is a class act. Would highly recommend.

Donald Ross was not only highly professional and accommodating, he was prompt, personable, and empathic. Donald understood that my Father was a highly loved Marine, Capt., Father, Papa, Brother, Uncle and Friend. He played beautifully and was brilliant; the highlight of my Father's Celebration of Life. Thank you again Donald! Semper Fi!
