Testimonials


“Peter was fantastic to work with and one of the best parts of the wedding. He traveled a few hours to our venue and got up super early for us to have a sunrise ceremony. Peter’s smile was infectious and he certainly added more joy to our intimate and beautiful wedding. He even was so kind as to leave us a parting gift from his native Maine plant collection that we will cherish as long as we can keep it alive!”

“My husband, John, was searching for the perfect bagpiper to play at a family reunion last year and fortunately found Peter Beckford. Although Peter lived quite a distance from our event he agreed to play at the reunion. He even worked with John to stage a surprise arrival. We were all thrilled with his talent, traditional dress, personality and genuineness.”

“John was so taken with Peter that before he passed away from Covid in December he instructed that I contact Peter and ask him to play at his (John’s) Celebration of Life in August. Our family so appreciates the fact that Peter will be at our gathering for John this summer. We couldn’t ask for a better person to give John the send-off he deserves.”

“We have had the pleasure of hearing Peter play at the graveside of some of our funeral services. He is a very talented musician, punctual, and has always strived to accommodate our family’s wishes.”
