Private Party•Reviewed on March 30, 2026•From Sevierville, TN

Michael wow'd our entire party, creating a bespoke wedding celebration for a bride-to-be with an incredibly thoughtful collection of songs -- both traditional and original -- and performed them excellently. He was very responsive, flexible, a great sport, and a wonderful presence at our party. He arrived on time and went above and beyond to make our bride feel special. You'd be lucky to have Michael as part of any event! Thank you, Michael!

It was a great pleasure to perform for you all. Rain makes the pipes easy and the energy of the party fed my muse.

Wedding•Reviewed on January 23, 2026•From Cleveland, TN

Pipe Major Michael Waters was very responsive to emails and accommodating to music requests. He arrived at the event 30 minutes early, was professional and friendly. The guests enjoyed the music and it added a special Scottish element to the wedding. He even played Rocky Top at the end since it was a Tennessee Wedding.

Piper Waters looked the part very well and piped amazingly. Every one complimented him and his piping. I have already recommended him to others. I look forward to using him again for a much better occasion.

It is a privilege and an honor to serve our veterans, always.

Pipe Major Michael Walters was incredible. He made our wedding ceremony such a magical moment having him play before and at the end of our ceremony we 10 out of 10 would recommend him to everyone.

Michael was an awesome way to open our music conference! He was so accommodating and patient (we had to start later than expected). I was so impressed with his skills and showmanship. Definitely recommend Michael for your event.

My son and I enjoyed performing for such a musically literate audience! We hope to be invited back again.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 2, 2025•From Banner Elk, NC

Michael is the consummate professional. He enhanced the overall experience dramatically. He is pure class and a performer who I would recommend to anyone who wants to impress their guests. Five stars is not enough to express how talented and accommodating he is. Thank you!

Michael was so kind and so skilled. He had such a soft touch with helping us pick songs for my uncles memorial and was so flexible when things had to shift after the hurricane. He was charming with our family and guests and cannot recommend him enough for any gathering

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 4, 2024•From Greeneville, TN

Pipe Major Michael Waters drove from North Carolina after the horrible hurricane to TN to preform at our wedding. It was a long distance but he still came. He played beautifully and made my Scottish wedding complete. I recommend him highly if you are wanting a bagpiper.

He was great.

Funeral•Reviewed on September 16, 2024•From Hendersonville, NC

Pipe Major Waters exemplified everything I had imagined for my mother's graveside homecoming celebration. He was warm and respectful of the occasion. We were all greeted in full Scottish regalia with the sound of his bagpipes just as we requested. We ended the service with Amazing Grace played mystically as he walked away into the mist leading my mom to the highlands(heaven) stopping short of the pearly gates... a very memorable experience of a life well lived.

It was an honor to serve this family,
