WHAT PEOPLE SAY

Matt Phelps is an amazing bagpiper, and exceeded all of our expectations. He took the time to come to our daughter's wedding rehearsal so we could better understand what we wanted him to do. He played outside of the church before and after the wedding, played and led the bride in the processional, and led the bride and groom in the recessional. Everyone commented on how wonderful he was, and he attracted quite a few passers-by with his amazing talent. He played the tunes we requested, then ad-libbed the rest. His selection pleased both

our UK & Irish families. I would give him the highest recommendation. Thanks Matt!

On short notice we were able to book Matt to play at our son's wedding. Corey Anne coordinated with us, and everything went very well. Many of our guests had never heard a bagpipe, so it really added a nice touch to the wedding. We left the repertoire entirely to Matt, and his selections and play were outstanding. Highly recommend him to anyone!
