Bagpiper
Bob Gillis was such a special part of our wedding and was such a pleasure to work with! My husband’s grandmother, who was from Scotland, passed away in February so we wanted a special way to honor her! The music that Bob played was beautiful and combined my Irish heritage with my husband’s Scottish heritage! We could not possibly thank Bob for the amazing role he played in our wedding!!!
Bob was very accomodating. He met at the event location a few weeks prior to review. He made some good suggestions based on previous experience. On the day of the event he was on time and played as we discussed.
Response from Bob Gillis:

Thanks, Joanne. Glad I was a part of this beautiful ceremony.
Bob provided a wonderful and meaningful addition to our son's wedding. He was responsive from our initial contact right through the wedding. We changed venue at the last minute and he was most accommodating. Professional, talented, and kind. Thank you, Bob.
Response from Bob Gillis:
Glad I was able to contribute to this wonderful wedding ceremony, Corky.
Bob showed up prepared and clad well ahead of time. He played great. He even included an additional tune (Cason's) in recognition of our father's Army service. Very professional and generous.
Response from Bob Gillis:
Glad I could contribute to this beautiful ceremony,Karen.
I would recommend Bob's services to anyone who asked me about bagpipers.
He was friendly, professional, prompt, and very easy to work with.
I gave him songs suggestions and he was able to play them all. He gave me other suggestions that were perfect as well. I expect we will ask for Bob to play again at an event in the future.
Our event was a Memorial Service for my father. We did not take any pictures. However Bob's kilt/outfit was perfect and would have made a great picture with my grandchildren dancing around him.
We recently hired Bob to perform for a surprise Birthday party for my Scottish Mom. Bob was very knowledgeable and experienced and working with him was a pleasure. He arrived on-time and was impeccably dressed in full formal Kilt. His pipe playing was captivating. He was very personable with all of the guests in our party including our children. I would hire Bob again and would highly roccomend him to anyone in need of a Bagpipe for their party or other occasion.
Response from Bob Gillis:
Thank you Michael for the kind words. I enjoyed meeting your family, and especially, your mom. The Scottish themed birthday party was truly exceptional, even down to the bagpipe birthday cake!
Bob Gillis piped for a funeral for our family this week. He was just fantastic - he knew every song we requested and was more than willing to work with us to plan out every detail of working the songs into the ceremony. He had a great sound and a perfect look. I would give him the highest recommendation.
Response from Bob Gillis:
Thank you Amy. Glad I could contribute to a wonderful ceremony.
