Andy accepted a gig we posted at the last minute. He was there early, he was very helpful and flexible about our needs and delivered a lovely performance of Amazing Grace for our parents internment service.
It was a beautiful and appreciated addition to our service. I would use his services again without reservation.
Andrew was hired for my husband’s Celebration of Life Service and everyone was impressed and inspired not only by his playing the bagpipes, but also his demeanor. He promptly answered my questions and thoughtfully made suggestions as to the best time and place to play the chosen music. Andrew was professional, flexible, knowledgeable and courteous. Hiring him was one of the best decisions I made regarding the service. Through his music, I have memories which I’ll cherish for life.
He was very professional, on time, kind and respectful. He performed for my father's celebration of life and did a wonderful job.
My Family is eternally grateful to Andrew for fulfilling my Dad’s lone funeral request, bagpipe Amazing Grace. Andrew was very responsive to communications in the days leading up to the funeral, and very patient and understanding of us and the chaos and pain with which we are consumed. On the day of he showed up early, changed into an outstanding uniform and brought tears to our eyes with his performance. If you are looking for a bagpipe player, look no further than Andrew. We are just so grateful!
Andrew made the graveside service for my mother held this past weekend a memorable experience! With little direction by me, he was able to coordinate with the pastor and funeral director and adjust immediately; His rendition of Amazing Grace was so poignant...and...when he opened the services with a song of his choosing, it was perfect....I was completely satisfied!
Andrew is fantastic at communicating. He showed up early to make sure that we were taken care of. He communicated really well throughout the process. Also, he is one of the kindest person's I've worked with. He is professional and incredibly talented. Could not have asked for a better experience!
Andrew played at a service and then also came to the graveside. He did an outstanding job and looked amazing. He was professional and courteous in all respects and replied to all communication in a timely manner. He truly was a joy to work with. The family was very pleased.
Great communication, reliable, very flexible and kind.
We hired Andrew on short notice and he really made our event special. He was terrific in every way- he got back to us very quickly, he was professional in his performance and appearance, and he is very personable. We highly recommend him!
Andrew played Amazing Grace at my dad’s funeral service. It was a touching tribute to conclude the service. Andrew was professional, arrived prior to service and played beautifully.
Andrew was really awesome. Showed up early and ready to perform. The crowd at the memorial said his music was a perfect way to say goodbye to our loved one. Would use him again in a heartbeat.
Went out of his way to play extra songs when he didn’t have to very respectful and patient.
