Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on June 5, 2017From North Fort Myers, FL

Michael was wonderful. He engaged my guests in conversation and was absolutely wonderful to my parents. Such a gentleman. You can tell that he loves what he does and has honed his craft of playing the bagpipes. I would certainly hiRe him again. Thank you Michael!

Memorial ServiceReviewed on June 11, 2017From Fort Myers, FL

Michael is very professional and talented. What we asked him to do was highly difficult, and yet, he performed at a level that exceeded our expectations. His performance at our memorial service was the highlight of our event. In just a few short minutes, he created a memory for our family that will last a lifetime.

I had the great pleasure of hiring Michael R. for my daughters wedding. He arrived early and was kind, polite, and energetic with my guests. The music was beautiful and he was very professional throughout the time he was at the wedding. I highly recommend you hire him for whatever event you're hosting. He's an absolute joy.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on December 5, 2015From Wesley Chapel, FL

I hired Michael for my father's 85th bday. He was absolutely brilliant!!! Professional, prompt extremely talented and a very charming Irishman. My family and especially my dad LOVED the show! Michael not only plays the bagpipes beautifully but he tells jokes and stories. He gave a performance beyond my expectation! I wanted to give my dad a gift he would always remember, because he has been such a loving, kind father. Michael did that and then some! If you have any type of event, whether you're Irish or not, you will be pleased beyond words. Now I just need to hint to my family about my bday in May! God bless you Michael!??

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on December 1, 2016From Clearwater, FL

Piper Michael Ryan did a fantastic job on our wedding day we really can't thank him enough. We gave him very little instruction but with his vast experience he knew exactly what we needed and wanted. He played beautifully and his timing was excellent. We even had a military saber arch that he played for. Thank you for adding such a meaningful element to our special day!! -Katie and Justin

Community EventReviewed on September 13, 2016From Naples, FL

The Florida Piper was a wonderful piper for our 9/11 service at St. John's Episcopal Church in Naples. Participants shared they loved hearing his bagpipes throughout our campus before the service, were moved by his playing of Amazing Grace as we processed into the Sanctuary and touched by his music as they went to the reception. Well done!!

FuneralReviewed on April 24, 2016From Fort Myers, FL

I've done this already but shall do it again as Mr. Ryan aka The Florida Piper was great. Brought tears to many eyes. Very professional as well as warm and caring. He knew just what I wanted, even when I was unsure, and helped take the lead. This will sound strange as this was a funeral, but he was a God send as I knew my father was sent home in proper fashion thanks to The Florida Piper.

CelebrationReviewed on November 17, 2012From Glendale Heights, IL

Peopl enjoyed his showing us the insides of the bagpipes, and some of the history of pagpipes. My husband would have loved it, and this was a celebration for him. He had requested a bagpiper, and we were very pleased. I got a lot of positive feedback from the guests!

FuneralReviewed on November 4, 2012From Elkhorn, WI

Mike was terrific! He takes his piping very seriously and it shows from his mastery of the instrument. He played three different tunes, processional and recessional at the church, and one at the cemetery. In my family, bagpipes are pretty much a requirement for a funeral. If you love bagpipes (as my family does), I highly recommend Mike for your event.

Rehearsal DinnerReviewed on September 11, 2012From Grand Rapids, MI

Mike was AMAZING! We were over the moon delighted with his professionalism, his willingness to work with all our requests. He was adorable in his kilt and his entire dress was beautiful. Mike's personality is warm and welcoming, and was more than willing to answer questions and have pictures taken with our guests. We couldn't have had a better experience. The feedback from our guests was joy and happiness that Mike brought to the event. Thank you, thank you!!

FuneralReviewed on April 30, 2012From Chicago, IL

Mike was great. He played for my Dad's memorial service. He help with selections (I like bagpipes but don't know bagpipes), he worked with and helped coordinate our organist and other musicians. He and closed the service with a drum, organ, and pipe piece that barely left a dry eye in the sanctuary. Thanks Mike!

FuneralReviewed on April 28, 2012From Oak Park, IL

Mike made my Father's memorial service a truly positive event for all to remember. I asked him to keep it upbeat and casual, and he nailed it. It was a pleasure to have him as a guest. He interacted well with all of our freinds and family. Played just enough music without dominating the event. I would not hesitate to hire him again in the future for any event. Thanks Mike.
