Deborah M - Mark was very prompt on arrival, and the owners really enjoyed listening to Mark play. It was a very enjoyable evening.

Alastair W  - Highly Recommended. Very professional experience

Lucy M  - Mark was absolutely amazing. I had booked him to play me down the aisle as a surprise for my mum. I had told him I didn’t want her seeing him before I got there. When we arrived, he was literally hiding behind a tree. He was so accommodating and helpful, always responded immediately after I texted, even if it was to say that he was busy but would message me back later. We would recommend Mark all day long. Thank you, Mark, for helping me pull off the surprise; my mum was over the moon.

Nina W - Mark was great. He allowed our guests to have their photo taken with him. he engaged in conversation when he wasn't playing!. The playlist we gave him was beautifully played. He was a true professional. Both Jeremy and I would definitely recommend Mark for any event. Many thanks, Mark, both the guests and I really enjoyed you playing.

Marc C -Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant value for money. Thank you so much

Stephen V - Mark Haynes is a very talented player; he truly uplifted our special event. We enjoyed every moment, and he interacts well with the audience.

Ian M - I hired Mark for an Indian wedding with the task of combining the bagpipes with some Dhol drummers, and I have to say that it sounded absolutely fantastic. The guests were all dancing, and it was one of the highlights of the day for me as I made my entrance. Mark arrived in good time and practised for a few minutes with the Dhol drummers beforehand and generally took everything in his stride. Highly recommended

Lucy B -Mark played at our wedding in May 2025. He was absolutely fantastic, and we have received so many compliments from our guests. Our church was at the top of a hill, and they had all said how beautiful it was to hear the bagpipes played as they wandered up.  Having Mark there was the perfect choice. We would wholeheartedly recommend if you are thinking about a piper for your wedding or event.

Heather M - Excellent from start to finish, thank you, Mark

Sarah M - Mark was extremely professional from start to finish. Excellent communication. Nothing to worry about. When we told him we would like to keep his performance secret from the guests. He was punctual and dressed immaculately. We were married in an historic Victorian chapel. And he started playing from a balcony looking over the ceremony. It was magical. He then played again as the happy couple left the chapel after the ceremony. It was spectacular and everything we wanted for our Scottish-themed wedding. I would highly recommend Mark for any performance. Thank you very much. You made our Wedding!

Janet H - Very pleased with Mark, even though he was booked from 2 PM and we were running 45 mins later, Mark still stayed his time, so he left later than he should, so thank you, Mark, I would recommend anyone to book him.
