Review by Natalie O.

FuneralReviewed on July 3, 2010From Edison, GA

Joseph was truly the difference in making a very solemn day into something very special in more ways that can be described. He played from a music score which we provided when he arrived that was written especially for the occasion by the headmaster in St. Andrews of the school where bagpipes where given with scholarships. His playing ability was tremendous and his respect that he exibited for the occasion was something that all that attended will remember. We would highly recommend Joseph MacKenzie for any occasion Everyone in attendance was truly touched by his ability and professionalism. Thank you Joe.

It is a pleasure to recommend Joseph MacKenzie. His performance at my brother's funeral was outstanding. Highly professional and respectful, his presence added a special element to the military ceremony. His performance on the bagpipes was perfect. At the conclusion of "Going Home" he stopped at a distance, turned facing the family, and responded to our waves. I will always remember this special moment.

Joe's performance was phenomenal, his professionalism, courtesy, flexibility, passion, timeliness and genuine warmth are second to none. On our wedding day my wife Chastity, our family and friends and I gained a new friend Joe Mackenzie. Thank you for the memories Joe and your beautiful performance.

Joseph travelled a good distance to play at my father's funeral, and he learned a tune that my father had requested. Joseph's accomodation and professional polish really added something special to the occasion, and I had many compliments after the service on how special the bagpipe performance was. Our thanks to Joseph for his magnificent playing, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to add the special magic the Highland bagpipes brings to any occasion.

It was wonderful working with Joseph. We had a special song that we wanted Joseph to play, he did not know it however he offered to learn it for us and it turned out perfectly. We were extremely pleased with his performance; it was the highlight of the wedding. We would recommend him to anyone. He was professional, on time and extremely accommodating.

Joe was very professional. He was prompt and was willing to assist with any request or suggetions we had. I would highly recommend Joe to any friends or family members. He added that extra special touch to an already wonderful day. If I ever have another event where a Bagpiper is needed I will absolutely give Joe a call. Thanks for a memorable day!!! Bob

I was so pleased with his performance. He came and played beautifully even though he had been a bit occupied with the birth of his baby daughter just hours before the wedding....that is absolute dedication!!!!

I would like to say that Joseph MacKenzie was very professional and courteous during such a sorrow time. If my father was alive he would let Joseph know how wonderful he sounded at the funeral. The guests were thoroughly pleased with the music of the bagpipes and the trumpet. Thank you!

WeddingReviewed on August 18, 2007From Gainesville, FL

Joseph was great! He was a surprise for my husband and it worked out perfectly! He worked so well with me by learning the Marine Corps Hymn and for keeping this a surprise by hiding before the ceremony so no one would know! I would recommend Joseph to anyone who is interested in bagpipes for whatever your event may be! Thank you, Joseph!!
