Below
are some words from former clients:
| "Thank
you very much for such a great service you rendered during our wedding.
We also acknowledge your professionalism during our meetings and
of course on the wedding day itself. Despite the drizzle you never
lose your spirit in piping! We will indeed recommend you to our
friends. You indeed liven up our fairy fantasy wedding =) Thank
you!"

"Our
special day was made so much more special with the addition of a
real Scottish piper. It was a day that we, and I am sure no one
else, will forget - in no small part to Roy's valuable contribution
in adding extra flavour, culture and panache. Roy came in complete
scottish regalia, performed his music wonderfully and was truly
majestic in greeting all the guests to our wedding and in leading
us up the aisle. For something different in the Philippines, a small
piece of Scottish tradition went a very long way!"

| "The
BAGPIPER's presence at the Lao-Cantos Nuptial was a blast! Roy's bagpiper
costume and regal piping at the majestic Fantasy World entrance during
the arrival of guests unveiled the wedding feast that is about to
commence. The fairytale-themed wedding (bride and flowergirls in wings
and guests in costumes) fired up when the newlyweds entered the reception
hall led by the bagpiper. "
"As the event's coordinator, let me also
mention that dealing with him was problem-free!"

| "The
sound of the bagpipes made our wedding extra special. People watched
in awe as the bold but smooth rhythm of the bagpipe reverberated
across the auditorium while butterflies were fluttering about. It
felt as if we were in some high place, the music taking us higher.
It was an exhilarating experience for everyone, something that will
forever be in our hearts".

| "I
recently had my first solo photography exhibit at the Alcove Gallery
of the Filipinas Heritage Library.
I availed the services of Roy because I wanted something very special
and unique for the event. Roy played music at the driveway of the
FHL to welcome my guests. Since the music of a bagpipe is very unique
and carries over long distance, Roy even became the unofficial landmark
for the venue. Guests who were on their way would call me up on
my cellphone to ask for directions on how to get to FHL. I simply
gave them general directions and asked to listen for the bagpipe
music to guide them."
"Roy's
presence and music was a real headturner - pedestrians and cars
would slow down just to see where the bagpipe was coming from I
had guests who made it a point to arrive early just to hear him
play. I highly recommend Roy's services to anyone who wants something
unique for their events."

"Rainier and I prepared for our own big day for more than one
year. We bought so many magazines and spent many hours surfing for
ideas to make sure that every detail of our wedding would be unique.
While Victorian theme maybe a bit common already, we still wanted
to have that old, rich, simple and yet elegant feel with certain
twists. When we have already thought of all the "gimmicks"
that we are going to do to surprise our guests, we also got the
surprise of our life from one of our principal sponsors who offered
Roy to play during the wedding. Perfect! Boy, the offer certainly
capped a year and a half of planning! "
"Roy played during the arrival of the entourage and the guests
at the church and reception. People were quite amazed to see for
the first time a genuine bagpiper dressed in full regalia, not to
mention that the color of his kilt is burgundy which is one of our
color motif. Most of our relatives and friends are musicians so
the Scottish music that was played was such a hit. In fact, it was
least unexpected since weddings would usually be highlighted with
tunes from brass and strings. But the most unforgettable of all
was having Roy lead us outside the church during the recessional.
We were showered with petals and confetti as we go out of the church
while Roy is playing Scotland the Brave. Twas such a festive atmosphere!
Unmistakably Victorian."
"While watching our video coverage, there's so much happiness
and pride in our hearts seeing all our guests having a great time.
My husband and I are very thankful, and we are certainly glad that
Roy-- our royal guest-- was part of our special day. "

| "I
wish to express my sincere appreciation of the bagpipe performance
you gave at the ISM International night at the Fort Bonifacio campus
on March 20."
"Your performance truly was the highlight of a wonderful evening
and undoubtedly was a major factor in the Scotland booth being awarded
'Best Booth' of the event."
"Your playing of the 'Great Highland Bagpipes' was magical
to all who were privileged to have heard you and I hope we see you
again at many more Celtic occasions in the Philippine Archipelago."

| Being
a Scot and marrying here in Manila I was desperate to get a piper
to play on our special day.
I
had no luck for a long time and the event was getting closer and
closer. Then, at virtually the last minute, somebody got me in contact
with Roy Espiritu.
He saved our day and made it wonderful for everybody, playing outside
the church and later playing my new bride and me into the reception.
Roy gave the whole occasion a real Scottish "Flair" !
My Scottish guests were astounded and all my Filipino friends thought
it terrific.
Many thanks again Roy the Piper.

Thanks
for adding a touch of flair to our wedding. I was watching some
of the videos from the wedding and was finally able to see most
of the musical performances that I didn't get to see. All my friends
& family seem to remember your spots in the program, most significantly,
our entry into the main hall (while you were playing). It's a good
thing we captured most of the performances, including yours. Thanks
again!

| I
didn't think I could find a piper in Manila for my wedding-but after
an Internet search found Roy. I was born in Elderslie,Scotland(home
of Sir William Wallace),and grew up listening to the pipes-and my
wife was thrilled to have the pipes playing, on our big day.
We gave Roy an idea of what we liked best from
his repertoire,and left the selection to him.It was spot on,right
down to exiting the church to the strains of Scotland the Brave!
My wife and all our guests, took happy memories
of a special day home in their hearts.
Thanks Roy.

It

your piping. It made a lot of people happy and also was the first
time for many to experience the wonder of the pipes...
