About

I have played the bagpipes for more than 35 years. I began learning from the late John Duxbury and went on to study under Jimmy MacIntosh, MBE, and at the Balmoral School of Piping. Throughout my career, I have won many piping awards across the eastern United States and in Canada.

I have played the bagpipes for many weddings, and my versatility and experience ensure you will have exactly what you want for your wedding day. Choose accompaniment that will help make your wedding perfect, and create a moment in your new life that everyone will talk about the rest of their lives. Some common musical arrangements are processing before the bridal party; processing before the bride; playing at the altar before the ceremony; processing out before the bride and groom; and playing as the guests leave the chapel area. Also not uncommon is having a bagpiper at your wedding reception, typically playing as or before the bridal party enters.

I play a variety of appropriately bright tunes, and I will be happy to discuss composing an original piece of music to commemorate your special event. Requests are honored within the limitations of the instrument. Nontraditional tunes I have learned to help make others’ weddings more special include Wings’ “Mull of Kintyre” and ABBA’s “I Do, I Do, I Do.”

Sean was absolutely exceptional! The music he played before, during, and after our outside ceremony was perfect! He kept in touch with us from when we first selected him to the very end. He gave us a list of different songs along with videos so we could actually hear them to pick out for our ceremony music. During pictures he was more than willing to be involved, which I loved and the pictures turned out great! I would highly recommend Sean for your special event, he is professional and very easy to work with and delivers nothing short of your expectations!

Sean was sweet, subtle and totally in-sync with the moment. He graciously took the cue when to finish at the appropriate point im time--without even a word or a previous meeting. I would highly recommend his talent to anyone. Thank you Sean for adding to a truly memorable moment. Valerie Schultz

Sean was the bagpiper at our ceremony. He did a great job. Some people that knew we were having a bagpiper perform were skeptical, but everyone gave me so many compliments in the end. They all loved him.

Sean was timely in responses to me and was more than willing to work with any special requests we had. My fiance wanted to walk out to the Star Wars Theme, and Sean played it perfectly! It was a great treat for everyone.

He added something very special to our ceremony!
