Thank you so much for making the day so amazing on Saturday! Everyone was raving
about how great the live guitar was and they loved the songs you were playing.
And then separately everyone was telling me how perfect the DJ was… no one
believed me when I told them that it was all the same person! They were so
impressed. The dance floor was busy the whole night and I loved it. Thank you
thank you thank you! We had the best time!!!

Wedding performance at The Boulders in Estes Park, CO on 8/12/2023
Michael is awesome! He's a Rock Star of his own kind! As a wedding planner, he
is one of my "go to" people for guitar music and DJ services and I've never had
a client unhappy with all that he provides. He's very talented and the hardest
worker. Highly recommend!
-Amanda P.
Wedding performance at Willow Ridge in Morrison, CO on 7/31/2023
Amazing DJ! Seriously, top notch and clearly practiced at the wedding chaos!
Michael was so impressive and thoughtful. My wedding vibe was not what I thought
it would be, having some older guests that may not be so into loud music and
dancing BUT that was not at all the case. He had all ages on the dance floor! We
had an absolute blast! If you're debating, stop, and just hire Michael. You will
be so glad you did!
-Laura M.
Corporate Event at Celtic Tavern in Denver, CO on 7/25/2023
Michael was a double threat at my event. He kept the crowd upbeat and lively
with his DJ skills and wowed everyone when he stopped and played the pipes
several times throughout the evening. Very personable and professional. I highly
recommend.
Mike E.
Wedding performance at Winter Park Mountain Lodge in Winter Park, CO on 6/23/2023
Michael was AMAZING. He was patient with any last minute changes and totally
nailed the music vibe we were going for. By the end of the night the dance floor
was completely full. We had a blast!! Cannot recommend him enough!
-Libby S.
Wedding performance at Calorow Cave in Morrison, CO on 6/10/2023
Michael did a phenomenal job at our wedding this summer! He didn’t miss any of
the important details and everything went super smooth with him as our MC. He
was very responsive through the planning process, too. Highly recommend!
-Gina C.
Wedding performance at Deer Creek Mountain Camp in Bailey, CO on 6/3/2023
We booked Michael to both DJ and play classical guitar for our wedding. We were
blown away with his setup and services. His playing was absolutely beautiful,
and everyone commented on what an amazing job he did keeping the energy up for
the entire reception. He had a great AV setup for both the ceremony and toasts
and made sure that everything ran seamlessly for us. He even surprised us by
playing a song that meant the world to my husband and I and having the entire
wedding gather around us at the end of the evening - he helped ensure special
moments ran smoothly and enhanced every bit of our day. I would highly, highly
recommend him to anyone. He was just an absolute delight, ball of energy and
SUCH a talented musician/MC and DJ!
-Becky M.
Wedding performance at Villa Parker in Parker, CO on 6/2/2023

Wedding performance at The Silverthorne Pavillion in Silverthorne, CO on 5/7/2023
Wow! Just wow! Michael was amazing for my daughters wedding. He knew exactly how
to read his audience. Everyone loved him. Super professional and took care of
every little detail. You will not find a better DJ anywhere in Colorado!
-Robyn R.
Funeral performance at Ft. Logan National Cemetery in Denver, CO on 5/1/2023
Michael was incredible, extremely professional, and made all of my family cry!
We buried my mom yesterday. MICHEAL was there. It was such a neat sendoff
celebrating my mom’s departure. I would definitely use Michael again as he is a
consummate gentleman!
-Ruben L.
Wedding performance at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, CO on 4/8/2023
Michael was thoroughly helpful during the planning process. He played bagpipes
for guest arrival and escort down to the ceremony site. He then played guitar
during dinner and he was wonderful. Highly recommend!
-Jodi A.
Golf Tournament at The Pinery in Parker, CO on 4/8/2023

golf tournament memorable. I would definitely use him again and recommend him
for others wanting a bagpiper at their event.
-Mark C.
Wedding performance at Camp Hale in Vail, CO on 3/18/2023
Michael was awesome and I would recommend him to anybody! He was very easy to
work with, flexible and accommodating throughout planning, and he did a great
job on our big day! He kindly learned a guitar song for us for a very reasonable
fee. I can't recommend the combination of his acoustic guitar and DJ skills
enough. Amazing value and awesome to have both skill sets in one person. He also
MC'd our event. On the DJ side - he doesn't just press play, he was mixing songs
together, doing cool transitions, and helped us have a rocking dance party that
our guests still mention to me. 5-stars for sure!
-Andrew S.
Conference at the Denver Convention Center in Denver, CO on 3/19/2023
Michael was great to work with. He played for a huge Opening Reception for our
Conference. The theme was global partnerships and I had asked him to played
popular songs from different countries. He really did a great job doing his
research to put together a great list of songs to play. I highly recommend
Michael.
-Meghan L.
Wedding performance at PPA Events Center in Denver, CO on 1/20/2023
Michael is awesome!! He did an amazing job with assisting in the music at our
church ceremony, and then he killed it on the dance floor! Michael is a genuine,
hard worker, that anyone can get along with. He helps with the stress and takes
care of everything and lets you know everything is going to be great! I have my
song request to Michael and I told him I trust him and to read the room, and boy
did he do that! There wasn’t one time the dance floor was empty. Michael
MC’d all the breaks party entrances, he knew when to do the speeches, qued the
wedding cake, and all the other fun dances. Michael read the energy in the room
and kept it. I received various compliments on our DJ and Michael deserves 5
stars. Not only did he DJ the wedding. He played his guitar during cocktail
hour, and played some good Italian classics during dinner. I can not say
anything bad about Michael. If you want to have an amazing fun night, choose
Michael!!
-Sienna V.
Holiday Party at Summit Event Center in Denver, CO on 12/3/2022
Michael was kind, courteous and professional at all times. He communicated well
with our venue contact to ensure he had everything he needed ahead of time, set
up and broke down his equipment right on schedule and was just a very pleasant
person to work with.
-Alana W.
Wedding performance at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, CO on 11/18/2022
Anyone looking for a great wedding musician, DJ, and MC look no further -
Michael Lancaster is your guy! He did an absolutely fantastic job at our
wedding. We used his services for mics and speakers during the ceremony,
pre-ceremony acoustic guitar, DJing the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner +
dancing, lighting of the event space, as well as MCing the entire event. He’s an
amazing one man show, putting together everything wonderfully. Michael took the
time to meet with us beforehand and gathered lots of information to help make
the day flow smoothly. He took into account our personal music preferences and
did a great job of creating an awesome mix for the entire event. He even managed
to start the dance floor off with a song that was mentioned during our vows,
something we hadn’t even asked for but was the absolute perfect fit! We have
only good things to say about Michael, and think he would be a great addition to
any event!
-Emily S.
Wedding performance at Mount Vernon Country Club in Golden, Co on 11/11/2022
Michael was an integral part of our day and made it so much more memorable than
I had anticipated. I received compliments from several guests and the bridal
party regarding the blend of music that was curated by Michael. My husband and I
heard all of our favorite songs, and I loved the addition of some line dancing
and old crooners. For a daytime wedding, we had more guests dance than I had
expected, and I loved the music Michael chose to get people moving after a heavy
brunch. He was very communicative, calm, and responsive when things came up (as
they inevitably do). His sound skills were phenomenal; the ceremony and speeches
had excellent quality and zero feedback. All of our interactions leading up to,
and on the day of, were warm and comfortable - we were very lucky to have
Michael as our DJ!
-Kaitlin L.
Wedding performance at The Rose Event Center in Golden, Co on 10/30/2022
We are very happy we booked Michael Lancaster as our wedding DJ. He was very

-Megan S.
Wedding performance at Northgate Event Center in Denver, Co on 10/29/2022

requests, even the last minute ones! He killed it during the ceremony and
reception. The dance floor was filled the whole night!!
-Maggie M.
Funeral performance at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Co on 10/21/2022
Michael played the bagpipe for my dad's memorial service in October. He did an
excellent job and he was easy to work with. I wasn't really sure what we wanted
and Michael had some great suggestions. He was professional, on time, affordable
and my dad would have loved it.
-Suzette L.
Wedding performance at The Lakehouse in Evergreen, Co on 10/16/2022
Michael was amazing to work with - very responsive and professional! My husband
and I are not well versed in song selections, but by giving just a few
parameters to Michael, he was able to orchestrate the evening and keep everyone
on the dance floor. It was awesome to have live acoustic guitar before and
during the ceremony and extremely affordable compared to hiring separate live
musicians and a DJ. Michael took song requests and handled all the announcements
my mom threw at him last minute. He provided mics and speakers for the outdoor
ceremony, and lighting plus all the typical DJ gear for the reception. He was
the master of ceremony and took charge to the perfect amount. Do not hesitate to
hire Michael for your wedding!
-Kelly D.
Wedding performance at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, Co on 10/15/2022

-Jordan P.
Wedding performance at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, Co on 10/14/2022
Michael knew how to keep the party going at the reception. There was never a
lull. The dance floor was always full with guests laughing and dancing their
hearts out! He also played guitar for our ceremony which received so many
great comments from our guests -- his musicianship gave our ceremony so much
more emotion. We could not recommend Michael enough!
-Matt F.
Wedding performance at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Co on 9/16/2022
Whatever you do, you HAVE to book Michael as your wedding DJ and guitarist.
Michael played live guitar for our garden ceremony which was such a beautiful
touch. Michael then was DJ for the rest of the night. He made sure that the
timeline rolled smoothly. He sends a detailed email to you before the wedding to
finalize the type of songs you want for the ceremony/cocktail hour/reception. He
followed my list but was also extremely creative and played music along the same
lines as what we liked. He also was able to cut and remix our first dance song
as well as help my dad with a song he sang to me during his FOB speech. At the
end of the night, my husband and I did one last dance just the two of us once
everyone left. Michael stayed longer in order to let us have this special
moment. He made the wedding so stress-free and we were very grateful for his
professionalism and expertise! You will be in great hands with Michael!
-Caitlyn B.
Wedding performance at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Co on 9/1/2022
Michael is the most talented, professional, fantastic musician and DJ a
couple could work with. He played acoustic guitar, bagpipes, and was the DJ for
our wedding. He was so on top of it and paid amazing attention to detail. He
helped remove a lot of stress from our day, we knew we could trust him. Hire
him!!
-Ryli M.
Wedding performance at O'Connor Pavilion in Estes Park, Co on 7/19/2022
We couldn’t have had anyone do any better than Michael. He was very thorough in
evaluating our music choices and made sure that our specific songs were played.
Everyone danced at our wedding and I don’t think there was one person that
didn’t. Everyone also commented on the wonderful music choices that he
synchronized so perfectly. It was a wonderful and perfect day! Michael is an
exceptional DJ.

-Andrew H.
Wedding performance at Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, Co on 7/11/2022
Michael helped make all of our wedding dreams come true! He was incredibly easy
to work with and provided a detailed outline to help us get started. He even
serenaded us via Zoom so we could have the full experience. Michael checked off
every box on our music wish list. I dreamed of having a guitarist play during
our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Michael came through and even set up in
multiple locations so we could do our first dances in a separate area. Music at
dinner was absolutely magical. Michael was also our reception DJ. I was blown
away. Every guest was dancing, the song transitions were next level. We were so
thrilled. Our music really elevated our event thanks to Michael!
-Jessika E.

Wedding performance at The Lakehouse in Evergreen, Co on 7/1/2022
Michael was extremely responsive during the entire process and we appreciated
his promptness. He played acoustic guitar before and during our wedding ceremony
and DJ'd during cocktail hour and the reception. We're not well versed in music
selection, so he was very helpful and accurate in knowing what would please
guests. Michael's fees were very reasonable and we would definitely recommend
him!
-Kelly R.

great MC too!!!
-Donnie W.
Wedding performance at Maroon Bells and The Limelight in Aspen, Co on 6/12/2022
Michael was absolutely amazing in every way for our wedding in Aspen. He was
super responsive and helpful throughout the process. Starting with beautiful
instrumental guitar at Maroon Bells for our ceremony, then some great acoustic
guitar covers and singing for the cocktail hour, and ending with an epic DJ set
that kept the dance party raging - 10/10 need to find an excuse to hire you
again!
-Mercy V.
Wedding performance at Private Residence in Nunn, Co on 6/11/2022

skilled on the bagpipes and played beautifully!!! He added such a special and

Dedication event at The Davies Library in Deer Trail, Co on 4/12/2022
We recently had a Memorial/Meeting Room Dedication for one of our libraries.
Michael showed up early...complete professional...and did a remarkable
performance. Michael played his Bagpipe as the guest arrived outside the
library. Then he moved inside the library to play his guitar and he was amazing.
He fit in perfectly with the vibe of the event. THANK YOU for being so very
professional, talented, accommodating, and overall, everything we needed and
more. I will be hiring Michael again in the future.
-Jan A.
Wedding performance at The Boulders in Estes Park, Co on 4/10/2022

and then acoustic guitar during dinner. He did transitions very well and kept
people dancing all the way to the end of the event! Highly recommend him.
-Jeannette N.
Wedding performance at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Co on 2/12/2022
We chose Michael to DJ our wedding & couldn't have been happier with how he did!
He played live music for our ceremony which was outdoors in Feburary in snowy
conditions & we loved it. Michael is very responsive, very friendly & he did
everything he promised. It's hard to fathom how many moving parts there were,
but Michael was great, he got there early & set everything up so all of the
transitions were seamless & he was prepared for everything so he didn't have to
hassle us on our special day. Thanks so much Michael & if you're considering
him, just make it happen, you won't regret it!

-Stephanie C.
Wedding performance at The Ellie Caulkins Opera House in Denver, Co on 12/29/2021
My husband and I could not have asked for a better DJ! As a music teacher, I
know that I was needier than a normal customer! Our ceremony required live and
canned music and Michael wove those together beautifully. For our cocktail
hour, we asked him to play live acoustic guitar. His talent seriously elevated
that event! For our reception, I can tell you in complete honesty that our
dance floor never lulled! Michael even suggested a change to the evening's order
that kept things moving with a much better flow. People are still talking about
our dance floor! In short, Michael was everything you could ask for in a DJ.
He was super easy to work with from the first interview to the end of the
night. He is clearly an expert and yet charges a very reasonable rate. Michael
was supportive and helped us problem solve as our bridal party shifted at the
last minute due to Covid. I really appreciated him and recommend him
without reservation!
-Elizabeth M.

Highly recommend him!

ages. We HIGHLY recommend him to anyone in need of DJ services!
-Kellie W.
Wedding performance at a private estate in Monument, Co on 9/29/2021
Michael quickly responded to every email during the planning process. He guided
us with suggestions for songs to use at various times through the ceremony,
reception and dinner. He arrived on time and accommodated our every whim. He
played guitar before and during the ceremony, DJ music during cocktail hour and
dining, and closed the night with the bagpipes. I could not have been more
pleased with his professionalism and performance. I would highly recommend
Michael and would not hesitate to use him in the future.
-Karen M.
Wedding performance at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, Co on 9/25/2021

best attitude, kept the crowd and myself on the dance floor all night, played
acoustic guitar for our ceremony, and sang/played for our first dance. He made
it so special! We are lucky to have found him for our wedding and would highly
recommend him!
-Becca D.
Wedding performance at O'Connor Pavillion in Estes Park, Co on 9/11/2021
BRIDES, LOOK NO FURTHER!! Michael is an absolute god send, I cannot imagine what
my wedding would have been like without him. Michael was great on the phone with
us leading up; the day of, he arrived early and provided all of his own
equipment at no extra cost (!!!). After some beautiful acoustic guitar, Michael
switched over to bagpipes once we said "I do". Huge crowd pleaser. Later he
played guitar during cocktail hour, then lit up the venue and got the dancing
going...I can't even list all of the things that I he did. And of this was at a
very reasonable rate. Our wedding coordinator moved right before the wedding
which made this a little chaotic. Michael went above and beyond by working with
our photographer, reading the crowd, and kept things right on schedule. Michael,
thank you thank you thank you!!!
-Noelle M.
Wedding performance at Raindance in Windsor, Co on 8/28/2021
10/10 recommend hiring Michael for your event! I recently hired him to DJ my
wedding and could not be more pleased with his services. From the start, Michael
made the planning process simple and easy for us. He was quick to respond and
always had a “can do” attitude. He really understood the vibe we wanted, and
picked all the right songs to match to keep the dance floor going all night
long! Thank you Michael!
-Aly Y.
Wedding performance at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, Co on 8/12/2021
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!
-Margaret M.
Wedding performance at City Park Pavilion in Denver, Co on 8/9/2021
We booked Michael with only a couple of weeks before the big day. I had no
capacity to give a whole lot of direction. He took the short paragraph I wrote
about my husband and I...plus a handful of songs on a playlist and made a
memorable night. I really appreciated how comfortable he was in his work and we
even received compliments from the bartenders about the music.

-Steve B.
Wedding performance at Della Terra in Estes Park, Co on 7/24/2021
Michael we wanted to thank you for DJing our wedding on Sunday. You have been so
accommodating and helpful over the last two years and have made the planning and
execution of our wedding so much easier than we could have hoped for. You were
so personable and easy to work with and DJ'ed exactly how we were hoping for
with very little direction. We've lost count of "best/most fun wedding ever"
compliments we've received and the music and dancing was a big part of that. One
of my friends was having so much fun and dancing so hard, that he split his
pants and just kept on dancing, only to split them more only to keep on dancing.
It was a vicious cycle of pants-splitting for him, but I must imagine the
ultimate compliment to a DJ. Thank you so much for all your hard work and for
being so enjoyable to work with, we could not be more complimentary. If you need
anything from us (besides the positive reviews that will be posted in the coming
days), please let us know.
-Mark F.
Wedding performance at Wild Basin Lodge in Allenspark, Co on 7/19/2021
My husband and I hired Michael for our small, mountain wedding ceremony. Michael
played guitar for the ceremony, provided microphones, and was the dj/MC for our
reception dinner. I told Michael what I envisioned, and he made it happen. He
was so kind and professional. I did not have to worry or think about a thing. He
made all of those logistics from set up to ceremony and reception run smoothly.
I highly highly recommend Michael for your next event!

Michael is an outstanding piper. It made our memorial perfect. My Mother always
wanted to have bagpipes at her memorial and it was lovely. Michael was also very
helpful, offering wonderful suggestions, and very kind as we were dealing with
all of the things that go into a memorial. I highly recommend him for an
occasion.
-Lynna S.
Wedding performance at Buffalo Run Golf Club in Commerce City, Co on 6/12/2021
Michael was so wonderful to work with! He really made our day so special from
the ceremony to the reception. Also, through the process he would reach out and
ask different questions on what I wanted to do. Stuff I didn’t even think about.
He really helped ease my stress of our big day knowing he was there. The music
was great. He also checked in with us throughout the night. He kept the event on
a good schedule and really made our wedding a fun party! Thank you Michael we
both truly appreciated you.
-Amanda H.
Wedding performance at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Co on 5/16/2021
Michael was great to work with for our wedding this past weekend as I would hire
him again for another party! He was quick to respond to any requests for my
event. His selections of music was great for our reception that got the guests
dancing even at a brunch wedding. He made it so much fun ! His guitar playing
was remarkable for the ceremony. I would recommend him to anyone on the market
for a DJ who also plays guitar and bagpipes. Thank you for being part of our big
day!
-Karen A.
Wedding performance at The Landing in Estes Park, Co on 4/24/2021
Michael Dj'd our reception and played live guitar for our ceremony. He was
great! We couldn't have chose a better Dj for our wedding. He helped with the
timing of everything day of and worked with our other vendors to pull everything

with Michael for your event.

Michael created a delightful celebration for my daughter's birthday. We
are in Pennsylvania and we wanted to celebrate somehow with her on a Facetime

when she heard the pipes. Our daughter felt so special being celebrated
this way. Michael plays perfectly, has great stories, and a solid
demeanor. Thanks so much!!!

our friend’s life. He was wonderful!
-Keith M.
Wedding performance at Morrison Historic Church in Morrison, Co on 10/23/2020
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!

services.
-Cathy G.
Wedding performance at Frost Creek Country Club in Eagle, Co on 6/13/2020

our day felt so magical. I can't wait to ask him to come play for us again
when we have another big event!

Michael played the part in every way. His willingness to step outside the norm
to help us bring joy to a friend and his insights on how we might "choreograph"
the surprise were brilliant. A moment we will never forget. In case you don't
know it already, bagpipes make everything better!
-Tierah C.
Hospice performance The Bruce McCandles Veteran's Home at in Florence, Co on 4/5/2020
I hired Michael to play for my father. He communicated everything very well and
was very responsive. He showed up to the venue ahead of schedule and
communicated that he was there and that he understood the plan and preformed for
the designated amount of time and made a very special memory for my family.
Would Highly recommend him to anyone. Very talented and professional.
-Scott B.
St. Patrick's Event at 1660 Lincoln St in Denver, Co on 3/12/2020
Our bagpiper did a wonderful job for us. We hired him to play his instrument for
an hour during an event at one of our high rise office buildings in downtown
Denver. He was professional, fun, engaging and did a wonderful job entertaining
everyone in our building. I had many positive comments from tenants and they
were happy that we provided entertainment and food and drink for them. This was
our last event prior to the "stay at home" order for COVID 19 issued in Denver.
Many people were happy that we didn't cancel and our bagpiper added much to the
festivities. I will recommend him to others and will most likely use your
service again. Thank you.
-Carol M.
Wedding at Willow Ridge Manor in Morrison, Co on 3/6/2020

-Heather G.
Wedding at Rembrandt Yard in Boulder, Co on 2/16/2020

Michael is so easy to work with - music ideas and agenda leading up to the
wedding. His music was perfect for our brunch reception. He was so kind too- a
bonus because it’s an important day and we had never met him. He’s someone I
feel we could have hung out with given the opportunity. Great price for his
talent and I feel he was the perfect choice.
-Mary J.
Wedding at Devil's Thumb Mountain Ranch in Tabernash, Co on 1/25/2020
I wanted to reach out and thank you for playing at our wedding. The bagpipes
were such a special moment and were homage to a tradition that JD's grandfather
started when he surprised JD's parents with bagpipes at their own wedding! It
added such a truly magical and nostalgic feeling to our ceremony, and I know we
will look back on that moment for years to come.
-Aubrey V.
Wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch in Larkspur, Co on 1/2/2020
When I was looking for a DJ for my wedding at Spruce Mountain Ranch, I sent an
inquiry to Michael and he didn't email me or send me a generic response. He
called me that same day to explain his services and ask me how he could make our
day great. Not only was I very impressed by his professionalism and how easy it
was to complete a contract, but the quality of his services was OUTSTANDING.
Micheal played acoustic guitar for our ceremony, including a custom rendition of
"You are my Sunshine" for my walk, played bagpipes for our exit, and DJ'd our
reception. He was on time and required no assistance from us. He even provided
up-lighting for the ceremony space which was above and beyond what we expected.
All of my guests told me over and over how great the music was and everyone was
up and dancing from cocktail hour to the last song! Michael is a true musician
and a rare find. I give him my highest recommendation!
-Danielle T.
Wedding at Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park, Co on 12/14/2019

dancing, and you played such beautiful live music during the ceremony and at
dinner. I'm so thankful we found you. Thank you for being such a big
part of our wedding day!

us stay organized and on schedule all night! Can't thank you enough for such a
wonderful and entertaining evening!

-Kate F.
Wedding at The Lakehouse in Evergreen, Co on 9/27/2019
Michael was THE BEST guitarist and DJ for our wedding reception. He was so easy
to communicate with throughout the process and answered all our questions
promptly. His pricing is so reasonable and he added special extra touches with
lighting ,etc on our big day. We had Michael play live guitar and sing during
our cocktail hour which was lovely and unique, and then he absolutely crushed it
as a DJ for the reception! From announcements and keeping us on time, to playing
the most fun music for our dance party - we could not have asked for more.
Highly recommended!!
-Emily S.

Wedding at Cal Wood Education Center in Niwot, Co on 9/1/2019
Michael played the guitar during the prelude of our wedding ceremony and then
switched to his bagpipes after our first kiss. Our ceremony was in a remote area
in the mountains and he was able to accommodate our space no problem. He was
very responsive ahead of the event and a joy during. Highly recommend!
-Caroline G.
Wedding at City Park in Denver, Co on 8/24/2019
Michael is as professional as they come. His long-time experience and knowledge
of hosting events was on full display at our wedding this past week. He helped
direct traffic, helped our staff make the transitions easier, provided
additional ambient lighting, played exquisite live music, and used our setlist
of songs to his full advantage while interjecting a few of his tried and tested
selections. As soon as I have another DJing need, Michael will be my go to
person of choice!
-Otis G.
Wedding at The Greenbriar Inn in Boulder, Co on 8/18/2019
Michael was punctual, responsive, and professional. He did a really good job of
setting up and making sure all of our needs were taken care of. He was fun and
really got my dance party going! I have been to weddings were nobody used the
dance floor. I was worried it was going to be hard to get things going, but he
made it a piece of cake. Thank you for bringing the party to our magical day :)
-Janae H.
Corporate Event at The Gaylord Event Center in Aurora, Co on 8/13/2019
Michael was wonderful to work with - quick responses during the planning
process and arrived early for set-up. He served as our DJ during our conference
kick-off reception and got the tone just right. He began with fun background
music to encourage networking and then made a flawless transition to the
dance-party vibe we wanted to end the night. The dance floor was packed and he
kept the crowd pumped. We also hired Michael to play background guitar music
during a more intimate VIP reception another night, and we were very pleased. He
played beautifully but completely understood that the event was intended to be a
working function - so he kept the volume at the right level to be entertaining
but not overpowering. We would work with Michael again in a heartbeat and
definitely recommend his services - you'll be pleased!
-Kareena G.
Wedding at Lakewood Cultural Center in Lakewood, Co on 8/3/2019
Michael was very professional and accommodating. He truly made our night! He
asked all of the right questions prior to our wedding to help him catch the
vision we were hoping for and create the perfect night! Everything ran very
smoothly and we attribute a lot of that to him. He truly made for a memorable
day! As a DJ he kept our guests dancing all night! It was so special to have him
play live guitar for the processional for our ceremony. It was a always a dream
of mine to walk to acoustic Blackbird by the Beatles and he knocked it out of
the park! He is timely and was very prepared. It was great to have his
creativity & we would use his services again in a heartbeat! Thanks, Michael!

Wedding at private home in Boulder, Co on 7/20/2019
Michael was awesome and made our wedding day so special. We had a outdoor
wedding and it rained and Michael had to move things around a lot but he did so
with a smile on his face the whole time even though I know it wasn’t easy. He
played guitar at the ceremony and did a beautiful job. He also did a great job
at our reception with the dance and had our guest dancing from the first to the
last song. The dance floor was full and we had a blast. I would recommend
Michael to anyone looking for a musician or DJ for their special event!
-Kali C.
Wedding at Skyview at Fall River Estates in Estes Park, Co on 7/14/2019
The man that does it all
Michael was the full package for us in that we requested guitar, bagpipes and
DJ throughout our celebration. A fun guy to work with that was kept on his toes
with our requests ( and also day of requests with International songs involved),
which he navigated with ease. He performs very well on all platforms, and had
our wedding party laughing, crying (bagpipes and guitar) and dancing all night.
Such a great guy overall with no issues whatsoever. If you are looking for
someone easy to work with, flexible, outgoing personality and does the job very
well... then he is the guy for you. Quality all the way through.
-Miranda M
Wedding at Hudson Gardens in Littleton, Co on 7/13/2019

to send you something when we get back if we could get a good mailing address
for you.
-Keely M.
Wedding at Heystack Heather in Niwot, Co on 7/7/2019
Michael was an amazing asset to our wedding. As a groom planning a wedding, I
had zero clue where to start, and he was vital to getting me on the right track.
Then, as the event became a reality, he went above and beyond to make it a
memorable event. I have nothing but positive things to say. Very talented on
multiple levels, while bringing a unique set of skills to any event. Thanks
again Michael!
-Frank H.
Funeral at Heather Gardens in Aurora, Co on 7/6/2019

by them (as planned!). Most of us have a lot of fond memories waking up to the
sound of bagpipes back in college. Everything was perfect! We are so happy we
found you!
-Kirsten T.
Wedding at the Barn in Evergreen, Co on 6/22/2019
Michael was amazing! We had him as our bagpiper and DJ for our wedding and he
made the whole day more amazing than we could've hoped for. He was so helpful
and responsive in the time leading up to the wedding and really helped set the
tone for the day. Everyone we talked to afterwards was saying how wonderful he
was. He had everyone out on the dance floor and having a great time! Even
better, he had my family's tartan as a kilt for the ceremony. If you are in need
of a bagpiper or DJ for your wedding Michael truly is amazing.
-Johnny B.
Wedding Anniversary at Hotel Elegante in Colorado Springs, Co on 6/14/2019
Michael Lancaster was outstanding as a guitarist and bagpiper, DJ, and Master of
Ceremonies for our anniversary party. He proved flexible to our requests for
changes and additions for the evening. He worked very well with our special
guest soloist to ensure he had the individual’s music recorded and prepared for
playback ahead of time. Couldn’t have asked for things to go better.
-Bill B.
Wedding at Archetype Distillery in Denver, Co on 6/7/2019

-Brooke H.
Wedding at Callahan House in Longmont, Co on 6/1/2019
Wedding at Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park, Co on 5/11/2019
Michael was our DJ and played classical guitar at our wedding. During our
ceremony and during dinner Michael really set the tone by playing the guitar
which was such a magical addition to our already perfect day, he was also a
trooper because we were married outside with falling snow in about 20 degrees.
We’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family remarking about how
talented he is playing the guitar. In addition to his live music skills he was
the exact DJ we were looking for and did a great job MCing and helping keep
everything on schedule! We wanted to have a DJ who would keep the dance floor
full all night long and he did not disappoint. He did an amazing job of playing
music for each generation that we had at our wedding. Michael was so responsive
and put any worries about the wedding at ease. He provided AV equipment during
the ceremony and lighting at the reception. I highly recommend him to anyone
looking for live music and a stellar DJ.
-Laura S.
Wedding at The Red Barn at Evergreen Memorial Park in Evergreen, Co on 5/5/2019
The bagpipes are what made our wedding special and different than most others.
Our guests were telling us that the bagpipes sounded so good it gave them
chills. Michael was also the DJ for our reception and he was wonderful. He
picked smart song choices, was open for requests, was very in tune with the
crowd and followed our schedule perfectly. Couldn't recommend him more! Thank
you Michael!
-Anna M.
Wedding at The Pioneer Club in Breckenridge, Co on 5/4/2019
Michael was absolutely wonderful, extremely professional, personable, and quick
to respond to any of my questions. He played guitar for our vowel renewal
ceremony/ reception, and exceeded our expectations. Not only did Michael play
and sing unique songs that we had requested beautifully, he also coordinated
with the other vendors at our event to keep everything organized and running
smoothly. My husband and I really enjoyed hearing him play; our only regret is
that we didn't have more time to really take in his amazing musical talents. We
would hire him again in a heartbeat! Michael truly made our event memorable.
-Samantha G.
Birthday Event in Boulder, Co on 4/22/2019
We hired Michael to do a "singing telegram" for my son's 30 birthday at his
place of business. My son, and of course, all of his co-workers, were so
surprised and happy with the bagpipe presentation. My son told me this was the best and most memorable surprise he has ever had,
and it will be a happy memory forever. He called all of his friends to tell them
how great it was. He knew a surprise was coming, but never guessed it would be
bagpipes!
Nothing says I love you LOUDER than bagpipes! Thank you Michael for such a
wonderful job, and making the day so special!
-Sharon R.
Wedding at Bristlecone Inn in Estes Park, Co on 4/20/2019
Michael was amazing!!!!!!! I planned my wedding from another state and did not
get to actually meet with Michael until I was about to walk down the aisle. He
was amazing! He played the bagpipes for our ceremony and dj'd our reception and
kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. I also had a special request
for my mother who had recently passed away - he played Tears in Heaven on his
guitar and sang as well. Everyone loved him! You will not be disappointed!!
-Kelli H.
Funeral at Ft. Logan National Cemetery in Denver, Co on 4/15/2019

Guitar Casual at Harrington Art Gallery in Denver, Co on 4/12/2019
Michael was a great touch to our First Friday Art Walk at our Gallery and
everyone loved his music! Will definitely use him again for this event and
others.
-Chris H.
Wedding at The Greenbriar Inn in Boulder, Co on 4/5/2019
We always knew I to walk down the aisle to Duane Allman’s “Little Martha”, but
we never thought we’d be able to find a guitarist that could recreate Duane’s
singularly beautiful rendition, so we were initially resigned to playing a
recording despite having a preference for live music. But then we came across
Michael Lancaster in our search. From his website, Michael’s rendition more than
matched Duane’s original.
We dug a little deeper to discover that Michael not only was an adept guitarist,
but that, coincidentally, he had also been the bagpipe instructor to The Best
Man when he was a kid growing up with the groom. So, we knew it was meant to be
and booked Michael then and there for our wedding.
The pleasant surprise was just how much we appreciated Michael’s full repertoire
in addition to Little Martha. He performed “Bron Yr Aur” for the rest of
processional, but you could’ve been forgiven for thinking it was Jimmy Page
plucking the strings (and the same goes for Eric Clapton’s “Signe” for the
recessional). Then, Michael continued through the cocktail hour, song after song
each more mellifluously beautiful than the last, providing the perfect ambient
backdrop to the revelry we were all enjoying.
Michael’s contribution was not limited to his performance; he provided valuable
technical equipment (lavalier and standing mics, speakers, etc.) that amplified
both the ceremony and cocktail hour, all while helping us have one less thing to
keep track of ourselves.
If you want the perfect soundtrack for your wedding, hiring Michael Lancaster is
our highest recommendation.
-Aubree D.

Christmas Party at Cherokee Ranch & Castle in Sealia, Co on 12/14/2018
We had Michael do a juggling act at our company Christmas party. He was
scheduled to start on the bagpipes, then play guitar, and then DJ.
Not only did Michael perform all of these impeccably, but he went far above and
beyond. I was running late for set-up and he helped, I needed a pen, he had it,
a guest wanted to know more about the bagpipes, he took his time and taught
them. His personality is kind, accommodating, professional and warm. I am so
happy he was the soul of our party, he made it very memorable. I would recommend
him to anyone!!

Michael communicated so well throughout the process, and then he was so prepared
the night of. Literally, we didn't have to do a thing and my stresses melted
away once he got there. He even brought his wireless up lights that he
controlled via a remote which made SUCH a difference with our event. He's a
REALLY talented guitarist and a wonderful DJ as well. I would hire him again in
a heartbeat!
-Brian P.
Wedding at Black Canyon Inn in Estes Park, Co on 11/2/2018
Michael was a complete joy to work with. He truly is a jack of all trades. For
our wedding day he played the bagpipes, played the guitar, sang a little, and of
course DJ the reception. He created the perfect ambiance for every aspect of our
day. We highly recommend working with him, as he takes the time to make sure
every detail is personal and perfect. He was the best decision we made in

brilliant. All that may not seem like much to you. It would have brought my

Wedding at the Sanctuary in Castle Pines, CO on 4/15/2017
The instant I booked Michael, I knew my wedding day would be unique and
personal. He had the quickest response time out of all of my vendors and it was
always a treat hearing from him with ideas about how to make my soundtrack my
own. He provided sound equipment for his guitar, set for the reception,
along with a mic for the officiant as well, which was extremely helpful. Walking
down the aisle to the sound of bagpipes was magical. It was everything I had
hoped for. Michael was also awesome with our guests, as everyone was eager to
express their compliments, both for the pipes during the ceremony and the guitar
during the reception. Having the guitar was perfect for our intimate lunch
setting, as our guests didn't feel like they needed to fight the music to talk
to each other (as they would have with a DJ). One of my guests even told me she
forgot he was there and thought that we had been listening to a recording!
Phenomenal, phenomenal talent and one of the most memorable aspects of our
wedding day. Thank you, Michael!!

come meet him in person and hear a glimpse of his bagpipe mastery live before we
made the decision to book him. Michael arrived promptly to our ceremony and
played a wonderful variety of songs, some chosen by us and others at his
discretion. The ceremony was truly so beautiful with the added touch of the
bagpipes. We would highly recommended Michael's services to any bride and groom
considering bagpipes as an option for their wedding - you won't regret it! Thank
you Michael, we very much appreciate you. Thanks for travelling up to
Breckenridge to make our big day a very, very special one.

recommend him.

walk down the path to Sapphire Point and Here Comes the Sun for the recessional.
He also played some beautiful prelude music and continued playing afterwards to
wind things down. I was told by multiple guests that his playing MADE the day! I
would highly recommend Michael to play for your wedding or special event.

My husband and I hosted a Burns Night Supper and hired Michael to entertain. He
was wonderful and made a fun evening extra special. His piping was beautiful and
he was so personable and our guests really enjoyed his stories, jokes and
information about piping as much as the music. The evening was so much fun that
we are planning this as an annual event and be sure that Michael will be a part
of our planning for years to come. I highly recommend him!

added so much to this final send-off. We all appreciate how understanding your
were, how easy you were to work with, and how much your music added to this
event.
-Andrea L.
Wedding at McC Ranch in Masonville, CO on 7/5/2015
As a family we found Michael pleasant and easy to work with. As a family we were
very pleased with Michael's playing of the bagpipes and the guitar. It is more
novel for most Coloradons to hear the bagpipes from someone dressed in full
Scottish regalia! He played guitar during dinner and it created a nice ambience
for all the diners. Michael made a significant contribution to my niece's
wedding. The music at a wedding is crucial and we were a bit apprehensive. We
ended up being very pleased. We would hire him again. Maybe when my other niece
and my nephew get married! Thanks Michael.
-Marylin M.
Wedding at Arrowhead Country Club in Littleton, CO on 6/27/2015
Michael was wonderful to work with - stress free and able to provide everything
I asked from him for our ceremony! And, I didn't even meet him before the
wedding! I found out later that he also handled my mom's request for playing
bagpipe at our cocktail hour, which was a nice surprise! Without hesitation, I
would wholeheartedly recommend him to friends who want a great guitarist and/or
bagpiper!!! We got tons of compliments!

Amazing!! My company hired Michael to play for a Celebration of Life service.
From the time he arrive to the time he left everything about him was
professional and his music was breathtaking! He played during the prelude of the
service and at the end of the service. As he marched out with the song Amazing
Grace fading away, there was not a dry eye to be found! We are happy to
recommend him and will use his services whenever we can.
-Kristi T.
Wedding at Union Station in Denver, CO on 6/6/2015
Michael was a perfect addition to our wedding. he's fun and extremely talented.
and as a last minute favor to us he hustled through bad traffic to make sure he
could be there in time to play a wedding song for bride's entrance. I strongly
recommend his services to anyone wanting to add something special to their big
day.
-Jim B.
Wedding at Willow Ridge in Morrison, CO on 5/16/2015

bagpipes for the service on my husband. The haunting notes of your bagpipe
rising skyward in this lovely mountain cemetery seems especially fitting at this
time. Thank you again...
-Elaine E.
Wedding at the Lodge & Spa at Breckenridge, CO on 4/25/2015
Michael was amazing. I could definitely tell that he's very experienced with not
only his instrumental skills, but his skills in planning and performing at live
events. We had Michael play acoustic guitar for the majority of our wedding,
then asked him to break out the bagpipes for our grand entrance into the
reception room. It was a surprise for the attendees and everyone was completely
blown away. We live in Illinois, so our Colorado wedding was a destination
wedding. Michael was very easy to communicate with and quick to respond via
e-mail. He also supplied the mics for our officiant and speakers. Long story
short -- I would definitely recommend him.
-Heather V.

Michael is so professional. He earned the right to play at our event by calling and emailing me over the course of many months to check on the progress of our party. His music was perfect to add to the atmosphere of our party. Thank you Michael for making our day so special I never once worried that you would be able to get the job done!

We just got home and rested up and I wanted to get our thanks to you for an absolutely wonderful evening of music that you provided. I've heard comment after comment about your part in our event. Everyone has had wonderful comments about both your bagpipe and guitar music. The bride and groom were thrilled with your bagpiping at the entrance, and your poem and finale were icing on the cake. Michael, I can't thank you enough! -Claudia K.
St.
Andrews Day at Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church in Loveland
Every year St. Spyridon
Greek Orthodox Church in Loveland Colorado celebrates St. Andrew's Day. At the
end of the morning Liturgy Fr. Evan blesses the Tartans...but this year I had
arranged a surprise with him.
After the blessing, the rear doors of the Church opened and Michael Lancaster
began to play Amazing Grace followed by Highland Cathedral. The Scots, Greek,
Russian, Chinese, German heritage people in the congregation loved it! (We
embrace our diversity).
Mr. Lancaster was professional and patient (he had to wait on a cold day for the
Priest to finish).
I couldn't be more pleased! The surprise was well received by all!
Michael was
awesome. He provided three different types of music for my 50th
birthday party. We started with pipe music at streamside while guests
arrived. Next, Michael provided classical guitar music at dinner, then had
piping happy birthday followed by a jolly jig then kicked it up a notch with
vocals and more guitar to carry the party to a lively conclusion.
Michael was sensitive to the mood of room, and had a fabulous attitude. I
had many compliments on the music from my guests. I hope I have another
opportunity to hire Michael again in the future. Many thanks!
-
Michael Lancaster was amazing!! He showed
up early on our wedding da and made sure everything was taken care of. I
literally just got to enjoy him play the music without having to deal with
running around organizing things. His customer service is great. He follows
through and follows up and I even had a thank you email from him 2 hours after
my event! His music was truly fantastic and I'm trying to figure out another
event I can have where I can hire him again! Thank you Michael for helping in
making our day so special!!

tournament. Sensational!!!
-Kirk R.
Wedding at Dunafon Castle in Evergreen, CO on 6/21/13
Michael was very easy to get a
hold of. We hired Michael to play at our wedding. His website has a couple lists
of songs - with and without vocals. From these I was able to come up with a
playlist for our wedding ceremony. I did have a couple special requests. Special
requests do cost extra - for the time it takes him to learn and practice the new
songs. The extra was well worth it. I was able to walk down the aisle to an
instrumental that I remember my grandmother playing and humming to when I was a
little girl and Michael also accompanied a good friend of mine as she sang for
us during our tree planting ceremony. I would hire Michael again for sure!
-Jessica R.

this one of the most special and memorable days of our lives!

performed on his guitar for cocktail hour and dinner! He was brilliant!

He adored his Scottish heritage and we are so thankful to have you be a part of
this celebration of his life. May the lord always shine his light upon you
and keep you always playing. You are blessed with such a gift and talent.
-Angelia M.
Student in Denver, CO 1/20/2013
I initially
contacted Michael Lancaster to teach me to play the bagpipes as a surprise
for my family at my grandparents' 70th wedding anniversary. I had about 9 months
to become proficient in playing before the anniversary, a lofty goal that
Michael enthusiastically embraced. With Michael's help, I reached that goal and
successfully shocked my family with my piping skill. Michael has been an
excellent teacher with a very comprehensive knowledge of music, exceptional
performing skills, and a positive and encouraging approach. I would recommend
him highly to anyone seeking lessons for bagpipes or guitar.
-Craig M.

-David B.
Student in Denver, CO 12/05/2013
I don't know how to even begin to thank you for these last
five and a half years. Truly it has been a pleasure to study with you.
When I decided that I wanted to take lessons, I never imagined that I
would come as far as I have today, and with you as a teacher I am not the least
bet surprised. Most of all, you really helped influence me to continue and
pursue my music. You gave me a great understanding of what it's like to go
on to study music in college, and be a professional musician. Through all
of the advice you passed down, you helped me make my goals become realized.
You have a great understanding of those things, and you were keen to share them.
For that, I am highly grateful. It has truly been a pleasure to study with
you for all of these years. I feel as though I am very lucky to have had
that opportunity. Once again, thank you!
-Colin F.
Michael was extremely accommodating and did his job very
professionally. We were very happy with him.

after the ceremony to play the pipes and lead us in to our reception! Michael is
very professional, organized, knowledgeable and a world class musician. Again, I
would definitely recommend Michael Lancaster to anyone for any
event!

recommend Michael!
