Brought the perfect touch of Ireland to our wedding!
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.Michael and his wife were wonderful to work with.

Veterans Event
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.A true professional and master at his craft!

Highly recommend!
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 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.

Amazing Addition to an Indian-Fusion Wedding
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 and Denise are amazing!

Three weeks before my wedding I found myself still without a bagpiper. I am SO thrilled I found NJ Bagpiper. Even though it was last minute, Michael and Denise were so accommodating! Denise was very communicative throughout and Michael was excellent! We had our wedding ceremony at Church of the Precious Blood in Monmouth Beach and Michael was outside as guests arrived playing beautifully. All of our guests told us that having the bagpiper was such a special plus and really made our wedding stand out! Definitely use NJ Bagpiper at your future events!Three weeks before my wedding I found myself still without a bagpiper. I am SO thrilled I found NJ Bagpiper.

Hi Amanda, Thank you for your wonderful review. We truly enjoyed being part of your wedding day. Although you were stressed about finding a bagpiper last minute you were so composed and easy to work with! Surely the rest of your wedding day went exactly as you planned it.
All the best, Denise and Mike -

My husband and I hired Mike to play at our son’s wedding ceremony at Church of Precious Blood, Monmouth Beach last week. Unfortunately, It was raining, but Mike persevered through the rain before the ceremony. It stopped raining after and he played beautifully as guests were departing. Took pics with bride and groom. It was truly a special touch and a tribute to Irish heritage on both the bride and groom’s sides. I would highly recommend Mike for any affair!My husband and I hired Mike to play at our son’s wedding ceremony at Church of Precious Blood, Monmouth Beach last week.

My daughter and her new husband were so surprised and thankful for making their wedding day extra special. Denise was wonderful as well, making all the arrangements so easy. We have recommended Michael to all our friends that inquired. Thanks again for sharing your special talent with our family!

It was my good fortune, as mother of the bride, to have hired Michael Hannigan for the wedding of my daughter, Emily Wallace Klein to John Michael McGuire on August 12, 2017. Piping was amazing, seamless hiring process. Michael played us out of the wedding and it was an incredible way to end a beautiful ceremony. I highly recommend Michael as the icing on the cake!It was my good fortune, as mother of the bride, to have hired Michael Hannigan for the wedding of my daughter, Emily Wallace Klein to John Michael McGuire on August 12, 2017.

With all of the anxieties that come with preparing for a wedding, it was a peace of mind to see the bagpiper at the church before the ceremony though he was scheduled to perform after the ceremony. It was good to know that 1 aspect of the wedding arrangements was going to take place as planned.With all of the anxieties that come with preparing for a wedding, it was a peace of mind to see the bagpiper at the church before the ceremony though he was scheduled to perform after the ceremony.

My husband and I had our wedding in March. The week of, we had a nor'easter with snow and then the day of the wedding it rained, so needless to say, the weather was not cooperating with us. I really wanted to add special touches to our day and many of them were weather permitting. I surprised my my husband and his side of the family with a bagpiper as a gift at the church where we were married. Mr. Hannigan played outside my church as guests arrived and left the ceremony while standing in the cold and misty rain for us for the entire duration. It was so important to honor my husband's family's heritage as a part of our big day. This was such a special touch. Extremely professional, friendly and talented.My husband and I had our wedding in March.
