Review by Jennifer P.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 7, 2009•From Chicopee, MA

Durant was very accommodative in returning phone calls as the correspndence was long distance (CT-NC). When the wedding day came, he arrived with plenty of time to iron out any kinks in planning, and after a quick pre-game huddle between Durant and I, the ceremony went off with a bang as he set the mood with some wonderful pipes, and honest-to-god authentic attire from Scotland. If anyone is thinking about adding some bagpipes to their wedding ceremony, and you're in the CT-MA area then I highly recommend Mr. Durant McCurley, as he is very affordable, punctual, professional, and plyable, with a good sense of how these things should happen.

Durant was easy to work with and responded to phone calls and emails prompts prior to the wedding. He arrived at the our wedding on time and played well. He also stayed to enjoy our wedding reception festivities...food, booze and even made an appearance in our photo booth! I guess just know that he counts as a head when paying the bill...it would have been nice for him to ask the hosts if he could stay for the duration. Other than that, we were pleased.

I hired Durant McCurley as a surprise to my husband on our wedding day. He was incredible, funny, talented & accommodating. He showed up an hour early for my ceremony. My husband loved it & so did all of my guests. I personally loved Durant because he explained everything to me. Durant really made our day special. I will recommend him to everyone looking for a talented bagpiper. Thank you Durant. Julie & Joe September 10, 2016

This bagpiper is a genius! He made the party fantastic with his wonderful piping. Everybody stopped in amazement when he started to play. Every song he piped was applauded! We were so very satisfied with this professional musician.

We could not have made a better choice! Durant is talented, personable, and professional, and it was an honor to have him at our Clan Reunion. I cannot endorse him enough, and I assure you that should you retain his services you will be more than happy with your choice. Thank you, Durant. We will be calling upon you again! If I could have added more stars than 5 I would have.

Durant was wonderful! My husband's grandmother is from Scotland and she absolutely loved chatting with him and was so happy with the tunes he played. Overall my husband and I were both pleased with Durant and we think he did a fantastic job!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 11, 2008•From Washington, CT

He was very nice, but got lost before the service and didn't show up until right before I was to walk down the aisle (oh and he was my only music). He then got mixed up on the directions and it messed up the processional. He was very nice and a great bagpiper though, which made up for most of that.

:

I was e-mailed directions. They were very inaccurate.I had left to be there by 2:45 but because of the directions I was given, I arrived at 3:30. I was to go over details when I had arrived but due to the time had to rush over details. It was a very nice wedding and the people were great. I'm truley sorry this had happened.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 2, 2014•From Chicopee, MA

Durant was punctual, and very accommodating in terms of deciding where exactly he should perform (it was a very cold winter day). His performance flowed seamlessly from one song into the other. Durant was comfortable in close quarters and very approachable, and he was easy to interact with.
