An awesome addition to a program that was a tribute to a great WNC musician, Devon McCall.

It was just magnificent. Michael arrived on time, played beautifully even in the heat of summer, walked my daughter down the aisle and even attended the reception for some time. Thank you so much!

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.

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.

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
