Thanks for being part of our special day!

Response from Geoff Douglass:
thanks Karen. I really enjoyed meeting your guests and chatting with them.. And of course piping for them as well.
Geoff is an incredible bagpiper. He made our event very special. We highly recommend him.
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you so much Jeanne! I had a great time meeting you and your family.
We hired Jeff as part of a surprise for our JHU Carey Business School Spirit Week kickoff. He arrived early at our venue and did a great job getting everyone in the mood for the rest of the week. Our mascot walked out with him and it was a hit! Geoff is very responsive to messages and was super easy to work with. We would definitely hire him again for future JHU events!
Where to start, Geoff arrived promptly yet even earlier. The guests to our wedding raved about his playing of the pipes! Even though I was unable to hear them in the groomsmen room he played in the background for all those arriving. I did get to hear him as he piped my at that moment future bride to the altar. And then after the recessional, Geoff again played the bagpipes as our guests went to the cocktail hour during photo taking.
Geoff is quite outstanding not only in his playing of the pipes but also stature which made him stand out. He even gave me a few pointers as to wearing of the kilt. I thanked him very much for the advice. My bride was incredibly impressed with him as well.
We recommend Geoff Douglas for anyone looking for a bagpiper to look him up and request him. He's a very kind man and a family man.
Thanks again Geoff for your services and if ever we need a piper we will ask for you again.
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Wow! Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback Dave. I truly enjoyed spending the afternoon with your family and friends. The location was idealic. I wish you both a joyous life together. Blessings
Geoff is awesome!! He does an amazing performance and is super attentive to special requests. We could not have been happier with our experience. He is also a great guy on a personal level as we had time to visit with him after the performance. Highly recommend Geoff for all occasions
Response from Geoff Douglass:

Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thanks so much John. It was my pleasure to help your family on this special day of remembrance. Thank you for you hospitality.

Geoff provided exactly what we were looking for with my father's recent memorial service. At a time when my sister and I had plenty of other details to worry about, Geoff came in and did a wonderful job. He was the perfect mix of music and warmth, and felt like family by the end. I would highly recommend him for any future events you are considering.
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you so much for your kind words John. It was my pleasure to add a special touch to your father's service of remberance.
Excellent bagpiper, very personal and accommodating. Played longer than scheduled to make our event exciting and memorable.
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you so much for the kind words. I enjoyed playing for your family.
Geoff is a true professional. He worked with our family during an outdoor memorial service during COVID. I’d hire him again in a second!
Geoff played the bagpipes at our dad's funeral. He was very professional, showed up on time, and sounded great. I highly recommend Geoff.
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you so much for your kind words. It was my pleasure.
Geoff was very accommodating with respect to our music selections. He stood at a distance from the service so that the music created a lovely background to the service without being overwhelmingly loud. Geoff is an accomplished piper whose appearance and music added a special touch to our parents’ graveside service.
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Geoff came on less than 24 hours notice. We booked the evening before. Geoff described playing the bagpipe as we pulled up to the cemetery until prayer service and then played again while we were departing. I found Geoff to be most pleasant and accommodating. thank you Geoff.
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you for the kinds words Catherine. It was my pleasure to add a personal touch for your family.
Geoff was outstanding! He was very accommodating to our requests and willing to do anything we asked to make our wedding special. He is incredibly personable and all of guests loved how he interacted with them after the ceremony and before the reception. Geoff really helped to make our wedding absolutely beautiful and incredible!
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you so much for the kind words Katie. It was my pleasure to add an extra special touch to your (and Troy's!) special day. My best wishes to you both and thank you again for having me!
Geoff did a wonderful job playing for my daughters wedding. He was easy to contact and was willing to try to help coordinate our quartet with his music even though he was not close to our event. My guests enjoyed his playing as well as talking to him. I would highly recommend him!!
Response from Geoff Douglass:
Thank you very much for your kind words. I enjoyed working with you and performing at your beautiful event.

I have been playing bagpipes professionally since age 18. Many events, weddings, funerals and parades have followed over those years. I have played in many pipe bands over the years throughout the U.S.
Since 2013, I have played with a bagpipe band that has included a highlight of winning the North American Pipe Band championship for our grade level in 2015.
