This is the 2nd hear Pete has performed at our event. He did an amazing job, despite severe weather throughout the day.

Pete was amazing. Despite a stormy day, he was early, prompt, courteous, and accommodating. We would highly recommend his services for any event.
Peter was there on time, and played "Amazing Grace" beautifully. There wasn't a dry eye, as he walked off solo, continuing to play. It was a powerful moment for everyone. I will definitely recommend Peter, and will hire him again, in the future.

Peter was on time. Held to my "surprise". Looked wonderful! Shocked my 91 year old husband when he walked in playing!!! And that was a good thing. My husband 's face was a combination of shock and joy!!
Peter played what we wanted to hear plus "Happy Birthday". He was gracious, and kind when addressing my husband. He politely accepted my invitation to stay with us for the birthday cake.
Between short times for conversation, Peter played again and then again when one guest arrived late.
My husband was thrilled, and Peter's delightful personality added to the cheerful mood of the occasion.
Thank you.

Showed up ahead of time in the rain. Provided the right touch of ceremony for great Irish lady.

Peter was on time and very courteous, considerate and an excellent piper! I have been to Scotland 🏴 tattoo and he was as grand as any of the pipers there. Well groomed clean brilliant outfit . Friendly to all my guests. Just a super guy!!! This man should be at the top of your list !!!
PeterPiper was excellent when he played at my parents burial on Friday. I knew I wanted a Piper for my Father, he was of Scotch/Irish decent, and loved the Pipes. PeterPiper was professional, he listened to what I wanted and also helped with arranging when to play each selection. Thank you PeterPiper for helping make my parents eternal resting place easier.

Peter played at our daughters wedding ceremony. From the very first conversation with Peter, I felt very confident in hiring him. He was so professional, and professionally dressed.
His personality also, showed how much he enjoyed his career. I highly recommend him, and certainly will use him again in the future.

I’m glad everything worked out well.
I booked Pete for my best friends funeral, because I was unable to attend due to Covid. He was so kind to take a pic of my friends Memorial prayer card and send it to me. Thoughtful. I am beyond words.

Thank you Mark for the very kind words!! I’m sorry I didn’t make it back to the repast.... hope all went well!
I had reached out, last minute, to book a bagpipe player for my mom's funeral. I could not have been more thrilled, or asked for anything more than he delivered. He was kind, prompt, professional, dressed impeccably in an awesome kilt, and his music was hauntingly beautiful. by far the best thing at my mom's funeral. As an Irish Catholic, who loved bagpipes, my mom could not have been happier or more honored by his playing. and even though the event went over the time, and i offered to pay more, he kindly and generously brushed that away. Even the price he quoted initially was much less than i expected. on a scale of 1 to 100, he gets a 200 !!! for sure. !!!

Thank you for the extremely kind words!! I’m glad I was able to brighten the day a little....
Great performance
Peter was pivotal to our funeral procession. He arrived early, coordinated with the priest, and did an exceptional job. The O'Toole family would highly recommend his services. A 5 star recommendation doesn't even come close to recognizing his assets.

PeterPiper did a wonderful job at the funeral. He was already set up before we arrived and performed the music requested. He made a dark day brighter with his professionalism.
