And, a delightful person to deal with.” - Justin H., Saddle River, NJ

“We travelled from our home in Scotland to get married in NYC and hired Darius for the event - even before we confirmed our booking, Darius was professional, communicative, helpful and enthusiastic - he continued to be so throughout.

Cannot recommend highly enough - made our wedding!” – Kristie E., Scotland

“All of our guests at my father's 80th birthday party enjoyed Darius's playing the bagpipes and the other instruments. He took requests and was very personable with all the guests. He shared some great ideas with us during the party. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend him to other people who would like to hire a bagpiper.” - Deirdre K, Bellport, LI
“Darius was the perfect bagpiper. He was extremely accommodating and flexible. We were planning a service for my brother from South Carolina that was to be held in NJ and there were a lot of variables. Darius just went with the flow so to speak and stayed to play during our luncheon reception with his various instruments. I can't recommend him too highly! He was very talented and very flexible with all of our long distant plans. He was at the church early practicing and stayed way beyond what we had originally agreed upon. He is the best, and I would recommend him highly!”
- Michelle P, Basking Ridge, NJ
