My Irish father wanted a Wake, but I had never personally attended one. Michael is not only an amazing Piper, he’s a wealth of cultural knowledge. "Waking" my Dad to celebrate his life one last time Thank you Michael for being such a meaningful part of our day! We wouldn't hesitate to book you again. There were lots of emotions and tears of happiness - the bagpipe is just such a romantic, dramatic, incredible sound. Michael was flexible and stayed on into our cocktail hour to play a few requests from my dad. The bagpipes were a surprise for my dad (who is Scottish) and his tears of joy and the pictures of his reaction were priceless! He did not disappoint from our first call! He was very responsive, helpful with suggestions of tunes, was very flexible and self sufficient (we only really had a day-of coordinator and I put the two of them in touch to coordinate with one another - I hadn't even seen the venue before and couldn't really tell him where to meet us or where he'd be performing - but he went with the flow!). ![]() I'd booked a bagpiper for our original wedding in CA, and when we decided to do something small in Park City, based on my research online Michael was the best in the area. Michael was seriously amazing - don't wait to book him! We planned a last minute wedding in Covid. Keep going strong! Your talent shines in an area needed and desired from veterans to simple family requests. He is your man! Michael, I can't thank you enough for all you do for us at McDougal Funeral Home for the families we serve. Serving pretty much anywhere you request him to be. ![]() Always reliable and arrives early to the funeral or graveside services. I can't think of a better gentleman for the job. I grew up learning about funeral service and how important it is to many families to have a professional bagpiper. Being employed with McDougal Funeral Home since a young age. ![]() Many years later we have stayed connected professionally and personally. Over time I was educated that he plays professionally at events. Something I have always admired and enjoyed listening to, due to my Scottish heritage. Getting to know him in his personal life. We met when working for the same company years back.
