Michael played at our 2/7/25 wedding. It was a beautiful touch to incorporate an extra hint of our Scot/Irish roots. He was very easy to work with, and a pleasure to have!

Michael came marching in playing lively Irish tunes and got the crowd clapping their hands and tapping their feet! He then played along with a track of AC/DC "It's A Long Way" and rocked it out to the Rock N Roll Bagpipes portion of the song! AMAZING!

Michael and his wife were wonderful to work with. Super responsive and 100% made our day that much more special. I 100% recommend working with him, and is definitely worth the extra special touch at your ceremony.

NJ Bagpiper was the correct choice! Very professional throughout the entire process and yet all our communications felt like we were friends forever. Michael and Denise were terrific!

A true professional and master at his craft!
A year in the planning stage, months of arranging and coordinating key attendees, countless hours in the final details come down to a ceremony which plays out in 20 minutes!
The Monmouth Film Festival was proud to showcase a segment honoring Veterans at this years 2019 festival at The Two River Theater in Redbank NJ. In planning, it was unanimously agreed upon that amongst many concerns there is no greater element than the bagpipes. We were recommended to contact Mike Hannigan at NJBagpiper. From initial contact, it was evident that Mike and Denise are true professionals. They arrived at the event early, reviewed the itinerary made suggestions and ensured that all elements were in place. They acquainted themselves with the staff and crew, prepared, rehearsed and stepped onto the ceremony platform in the spirit of a seasoned professional and performed flawlessly to a group of Veterans, devout supporters, attendees, and curious onlookers.
It is without reservation that we highly recommend NJBagpiper Mike and Denise Hannigan.

We used Mike and NJ Bagpiper for our wedding reception. Having him outside the venue as guests arrived was such a great addition to our wedding. Mike and Denise were professional, easy to work with, and very accommodating and flexible. Mike was on time (even early!) and guests raved about his performance. We would highly recommend using them for your wedding.

We’ve invited Mike to our elementary school on St. Patrick’s Day for the past few years. He is entertaining and wonderful with the kids! It’s one of the highlights of our school year!

Michael Hannigan performs every year at our Saint Patrick's Day party. He is the highlight of the night. He is beyond talented, best bagpiper I have ever heard and a wonderful person! You need NJ Bagpiper at your next event. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Michael and Denise are amazing! I called Denise with an inquiry for a bagpiper with about 5 weeks to go until the wedding. I was lucky that he was available, and luckier that he has played many Indian weddings in the past! From our initial call, I had no concerns that Michael would be the perfect addition to our baraat. My somewhat ambitious goal was to make this wedding a perfect mix of cultures and traditions, and Michael played a direct role in that. I am Indian, and now husban is Scottish and Native American. Denise recommended a dhol drummer that Michael had played with in the past, and we were able to secure him for our wedding as well. Our baraat was one of the most unique I've ever seen, with a bagpiper and a dhol drummer playing together in harmony alongside a huge parade of friends and family from both sides. We kept Michael a surprise for the groom's side of the family (and most of the wedding party), and it was well worth it for the reactions! The baraat was incredible and our guests will be talking about it for years to come! Thank you so much to Michael and Denise for helping us create some unforgettable memories through meaningful live music.

Michael was amazing. He was one of the highlights of our wedding.
