Testimonials:

"I was in such a traumatized state and really needed everything to work easily with no problems. Ian was incredibly professional right from the start. He had an intuitive sense about what to do which really helped me through."
- Patricia Sanderson

"It was so hard to really let myself go and feel my emotions about the death of my father. The moment Ian played Amazing Grace my heart just melted and I felt a rush of closeness, warmth and so many of the emotions that were difficult to experience before then. I will always be grateful to him for that."
- Lori Goldman

"When Ian played his bagpipes at my husband's funeral it was as though the angels themselves played the notes in his honor. Truly heartfelt"
- Ann

" I always thought bagpipes were supposed to be played outside and that they would be too loud for my mother's service. Ian is such an expert at playing pipes that the music was very melodic and soothing and couldn't have sounded more beautiful inside the church."
- Craig Chamberlain
