Hire a bagpiper from Scotland!!

Born and raised in Scotland, I have lived in the US since 2005. I grew up playing the bagpipes in the Highlands of Scotland and have won countless awards as a professional bagpiper.

I still compete in solo contests at the highest level, both in Scotland and all over North America, so you can be assured of the highest quality performance!

The bagpipes adds that extra special touch to any event, whether it is a wedding celebration, corporate event, or perhaps you are looking for that moving rendition of Amazing Grace to remember that special one.

I have played at all these types of events and more. I will be sure to consult with you before the event so each and every detail is covered.

Brian was great to work with, he was very happy to take our input regarding tunes to play and where to set up etc.
He also worked with us to maintain his playing as a surprise for our son at his wedding.
I highly recommend Brian to  anyone  in need of an authentic and talented Scottish Bagpiper.

Brian's beautiful playing added the perfect ambience and sentiment as we laid our parents to rest.  He was so easy to work with, highly professional, and sensitive, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

OUTSTANDING--if I could give Brian more stars I would!! He was exceptionally accommodating and available prior to our event and once he arrived it was even better. Brian played a variety of songs both planned and requested and even played a song that he learned by ear at our party! In addition, Brian taught us a traditional Scottish jig to match some of the songs he played! Even while on break, Brian happily answered our guest's questions. At all times Brian was exceedingly professional yet also very relaxed and accessible to our guests and his presence elevated our gathering to an event that will be talked about for years to come. I HIGHLY recommend Brian!!

Brian was outstanding and helped make an incredibly success wedding for my daughter.   He is an extremely proficient piper.  My brother who also plays the pipes indicated that Brian is one of the most talented he's seen.  Very personable and professional.  Strongly recommend Brian for anyone in need of a piper.

Brian McKenzie was amazing, thoughtful, respectful and very kind and genuine. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a bagpiper. My friends and family that were in attendance were so impressed with Brian he made our day with my daughter very special just like she was. I will forever be grateful to him. I infact will be hiring him again for other occasions we will be having in honor of my daughter.
Thank you so very much Brian

Brian plays beautifully and the very rainy day didn't seem to faze him.  I'd sure hire him again to play for an event.

Mr. McKenzie showed up on time, performed wonderfully, graciously answered all questions and actually got all of the group to participate in a traditional Scottish dance even though we are all flat footed!
We all enjoyed the entertainment immensely. 

Thank you.
