Funeral•Reviewed on December 5, 2020•From Round Lake, IL
Mike was the perfect addition to the funeral services for my dad. He is kind, chose the perfect songs for the various stages of the funeral and burial ceremony. I wish I lived in the area and could hire him again!

Denise, thank you again for having me down to play for your Dad’s funeral. I loved the antique Fire Truck used to bring him to the Church and cemetery. Also, thank you for this wonderful review. Hope the travels back home went well. Take care, Mike

He was a kind man who is extremely gifted. His music was the perfect addition to my mother’s funeral. I can’t tell you how easy he made the process for us during a time it was difficult to process details.

Lisa, thank you again for having me come play for your Mom, and for this wonderful review. Again let me know if you’d like me to come play at the cemetery when it’s time. Take care, Mike

Michael O'Connell is just the piper we sought for my sister's funeral. He presents a professional appearance and blends right in with the congregation.

Bridal Shower•Reviewed on August 13, 2020•From Brookfield, WI
Piper Mike was an absolute joy to work with. We threw an Outlander themed Bridal shower, and he was easily the best part of the party. He took our requests for the event into account, coordinated a song list ahead of time, and played beautifully. Our guests are still talking about how fun it was to have a piper there! Would highly recommend, and hope to work with him again in the future!!
:
Hi Julie. Thank you again for having me come play for Gina’s shower. Talk her into having a piper for the wedding? I’d come, even at that distance, if I hadn’t already had a wedding to play at down here that day. Thank you also for the kind words and wonderful review. Take care, and thank you again, Mike

I could not say enough about what a wonderful job Piper Mike did at my Father's memorial. From the first phone call, to the day of event he was professional and prepared. He even learned a special song that had so much meaning for my father and I. I am grateful for Piper Mike sharing his beautiful talent with myself and my family. I would highly recommend you book him for your event!

Dana, thank you so much for this wonderful review, and also for having me come play in the first place. I’m glad that I was able to come honor your Dad’s memory in the way you wanted. Take care, Mike
Review by DAVID S.
Church Service•Reviewed on November 5, 2019•From Lake Mills, WI
Mike was willing to do anything we requested of him. He was not rattled by a couple of last minute changes. Friendly man who was also willing to speak to the kids and deal with their very open thoughts on life and the bagpipes. I would recommend him to anyone.
:
Dave, thank you again for having out to play for the service, and also for this wonderful review. I really think I should come back at some point to try to convince the one young man that bagpipes don’t have to be annoying. Thanks again, Mike

Mike was perfect. Not only did he accommodate everything I wanted, he even came to the rehearsal day to make sure he knew how I wanted it all. I will always recommend Mike to any and all people looking for someone that plays bagpipes

Review by Tina B.
Wedding•Reviewed on September 16, 2019•From Rubicon, WI
Mike was amazing to work with. He was very attentive to all my questions and very easy to work with. This was a surprise for my daughter's wedding. Mike was so great to work with and coordinate his arrival and playing time at a very specific time in the evening. Everything went off without a hitch and my daughter was so surprised. Thank you Mike for a wonderful performance my guests were still talking about it the next day at brunch.
:
Tina, thank you so much for having me come to play for the girls, and again, for this wonderful review. I enjoyed reading how you said they thought I was at the wrong wedding when I started to play. Sounds like you did a great job coming up with the surprise, and then keeping it a secret. Nice to hear that everyone enjoyed it. Glad the whole wedding went well. Best wishes to Stephanie and Katie, and thank you again for everything. Mike

Review by Murphy O.
Wedding•Reviewed on August 21, 2019•From Milwaukee, WI
Mike was absolutely wonderful in his correspondence and was extremely accommodating. We changed the order and route several times in the 30 min leading up to him playing and he handled it amazingly. He played the songs we wanted and also helped to play similar ones when we had extra time. The sound was wonderful and he is very talented. I can't say enough about Mike and would highly recommend him to anyone!! Cheers
:
Thanks again Murphy for first having me play for your sister's wedding, and then for this great review. Glad it all worked out well, and that we got all the songs in that we talked about, plus a few extras when I saw that it was still going to be a bit before you all came in. Hope the trip back to Minn went well. Give a shout out if you ever get back down here and maybe we can get a round of golf in. Mike

PiperMike was a pleasure to meet and an honor to have at our wedding ceremony. His talent was beyond what we expected. His music was perfect and the guests also had many compliments about PiperMike. His genuine love for bagpipes and for life was obvious to me the first email and through the end of our event. My husband and I will cherish his presence and hope to meet him again down the road??

Wendy and Bryan. Thank you so much not only for this wonderful review, but for having me come play for the wedding. It was a lovely site for a wedding, although I guess we all could have done with a bit less rain. But it worked out in the end after moving inside. Thank you again, and I hope that our paths cross again someday. Take care, Mike
