Michael played the bagpipes and DJ'd our wedding. He was incredible! He is so skilled on the bagpipes and played beautifully! He added such a special and unique component to our wedding. Our reception was so much fun because of Michael. He played all the songs we requested and kept it light and mixed well with different types of music. He contributed greatly to a really great day! Thank you so much, Michael!

Exceeded our expectations! Michael provided the music at our daughter's wedding. He played the guitar before the ceremony, the bagpipes during the ceremony, and DJ'd & directed the reception. He is a talented musician! Michael is very experienced and organized, he made the musical process smooth.not one hiccup! He listened to what the bride and groomed wanted and had wonderful suggestions.

We are very impressed! Our wedding was held at Willow Ridge Manor, a gorgeous and in-demand venue. Michael is on the the venue's well vetted preferred vendor list. Thank you Michael!

Michael Lancaster was a pleasure to work with from the start. He was always quick to respond over email and very easy to communicate with. He was extremely flexible to change plans and even dates with us, since we got married during Covid-19 and our wedding plans had lots of changes. We ended up only using his services for our ceremony, as the reception was cancelled due to restrictions in place.

He had great suggestions for the ceremony flow and was willing to do whatever we wanted to make the day extra special. He played guitar for us and it was beautiful! We are so pleased with his services and we wouldn't of wanted anyone else to provide music for our special day.

We requested a bagpiper last minute for my Mother's funeral and the funeral home reached out to him. He was there on time and played beautifully graveside. I highly recommend Michael.

Michael did an amazing job at our wedding. He played guitar for the bridal party's processional and bagpipes for the bride's processional. Later he used these really cool up-lights to turn the event space into a party. He has a great voice on the microphone and MCed all the introductions/first dances/games. We gave him a short list of do/do not play songs and with that he knew how to fill in for just the right vibe for each phase of the evening.

Michael is an absolute professional. He played guitar and was the dj at our wedding in February and did an amazing job. He was reliable and easy to work with. He was fantastic on the guitar and kept people on the dance floor. I would recommend Michael to anyone.

Michael played guitar and sang at our May 2016 wedding in Breckenridge. He performed processional, recessional, and during cocktail hour. He did a WONDERFUL job. Guests were complimentary and really enjoyed listening to him. He was also extremely professional, flexible, and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him!

Michael is a consummate professional and his artistry contributed substantially to both the joy and sorrow we celebrated during the memorial for my Mom. Two other Bagpipe organizations in Colorado Springs let me down even with 3 weeks notice and one didn't even return my call, but when I called Michael he took time out of his day to learn about my mother and custom tailor his music to her life and wishes.

He learned and performed a new song in her honor on short notice, he traveled far in poor weather and was precisely on time, and when we started the memorial late due to the weather he filled the gap (and masked the sound of the generator we had to bring in to run heaters to combat the unexpected snow) with his gorgeous renditions. He saved the day and more than exceeded all expectations. It's hard to imagine that you could make the Garden of the Gods any more beautiful, but it was that day with Michael's music echoing softly off the canyon walls.
