Review by Betty B.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 28, 2022•From Goodrich, MI

We hired Donald Ross to play the Marine Corp Hymn at our Grandsons Wedding. Our Grandson came in on leave from being stationed in NC to get married, some of his Marine Brothers and other Marines were also in attendance. Donald did an amazing job. I would highly recommend him. He is Very professional, friendly, helpful, communication was just awesome. Donald hid behind the wall, waited, listened, then he picked the perfect time to start playing. His fee is also very reasonable.

Mr. Ross was superb. His "Amazing Grace" had the whole church in tears! He was kind and agreed to all our wishes. Also handsome! A striking figure of a lone bagpiper. Highly talented. Thanks so much Don!

Hi Linda, Thank you so much for your kind words. I wished I could've stayed longer and enjoyed your family. Donald

We couldn’t have made a better choice in hiring Donald for my Father’s funeral. His correspondence, punctuality, professionalism was absolutely top notch. The dignity he showed my family and especially my Father will always be remembered. From Amazing Grace to the patriotic songs to finish the graveside ceremony couldn’t have been more appropriate as my Father loved his country. An absolute 10 out of 10 !!

This is the second time we have used Donald, and he has been great to work with and a professional through and through. Not only was he accomodating, but he arrived early to make sure all our requests were handled correctly. Can't recommend him enough.

Donald is very personable, and was willing to take some time on the phone prior to the event getting to know what we wanted. He arrived on time, was very professional and prepared, and performed beautifully. I would recommend him most highly.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 28, 2021•From Livonia, MI

Donald was a surprise for all of our wedding guests, we were unable to have a rehearsal before the wedding due to people from the wedding party traveling from different states, but Donald assured me that he was confident things would go smooth the wedding day. I put my trust in him and he didn't let me down, the wedding went so smooth and I'm not sure we could have had that happen without him!

Donald did an amazing job! He played at my partner's memorial service and had wonderful ideas on how to make it especially poignant. Several guests said he was the best they had seen. Can't recommend highly enough.

Mr.Ross was amazing, and his playing was absolutely beautiful. I would recommend that if you are looking for a bagpipe player he is your man!!

This is the 3rd year that Donald has bagpiped at the Joe Gouin Memorial Golf Tournament. He did an excellent job as usual. He really connects with the participants & organizers, and really CARES about what he does. Great job, Donald!

I hired Donald Ross to come as a surprise for my son. A party at his place. Donald came onto the property playing the pipes. The surprise was great. The music was great. Everyone attending loved the pipe playing. Would probably have him again at some time. It was a pleasure meeting Donald . Thank You so much.

My family and I could not be more pleased with the beautiful performance Piper Ross gave at my father-in-law’s graveside service. Donald was professional, played flawlessly, and went above and beyond to honor my father-in-law and make the service meaningful. We are eternally grateful to him.

My family was so fortunate to work with Donald Ross. He made my mother's memorial celebration perfect. She would have thoroughly enjoyed listening to him. Highly recommend Donald Ross.

I spoke with Donald at length prior to the event. I was pleasantly surprised that he retained certain details during discussion and inserted them while the performance went on. An absolute professional from interaction with attendees to the masterful use of the instrument (bagpipes).

I was very pleased! Donald was able to come to my mother's funeral, even though it was a last minute request. He was accommodating as to requests, and everyone liked the music. I would hire him again, and would reccomend him to friends or family.

My Mom had very few requests in life, but one was to have the bagpipes played at her funeral. Donald Ross exceeded our hopes and expectations. He was so very helpful and offered several suggestions that helped to honor our beloved mothers life. If you are in need of this type of service, Mr Ross is you man. You can tell that for him this is not just a job.....but a very compassionate act of service.
