Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the payment with me the day of the event, but our musician, Darrell, was kind and thoughtful to say we could send it to him. Thanks Darrell!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on January 25, 2010From Pasadena, CA

This was a birthday weekend, filled with MANY moving pieces. A lot of activities and surprises. The piper's appearance brought the house down. It was so unique and special, my guests just LOVED it. Darrell Calvillo was exceptional.

Darrell was very kind and accommodated the situation very well. He did a great job in closing our funeral service. He was very prompt and professional and I would recommend his musical services.

FuneralReviewed on November 1, 2009From Monrovia, CA

DC Live Music did an outstanding job playing the bagpipe at the funeral. The bagpiper was ontime, presentable, and very professional. Everybody was very impressed with his skill level and demeanor. It looked like he had done the same routine 1000 times before. I would highly recommend DC Live Music to anyone that is looking for a good bagpiper!

Community EventReviewed on May 16, 2015From San Bernardino, CA

I asked him in writing via a performance confirmation to arrive at 4:30 for check-in for a 5:00 performance. He arrived at 5:09. He did not follow my emailed directions on where to park and check in. I had to call him 3 times to find out his location. He committed to a trio-said that there would be piper, guitar, and percussion, but there was no guitar and two pipers instead. He made a stressful day more stressful. Because others were booked and the program needed to stay on time as courtesy to the other 8 groups, I had to remove him from the stage on time, thus only getting about 1/2 of the performance he agreed to. He still accepted the full payment of course.

FuneralReviewed on October 15, 2016From Tustin, CA

Darrell was wonderful. He arrived early with plenty of time to go over the itinerary. Dressed as a professional should. The performance was top notch. We heard nothing but complements from all who attended. He was an asset to our ceremony. And I would definitely recommend him for other gigs.

FuneralReviewed on April 30, 2016From Bonita, CA

Darrell was amazing! He was smartly dressed, arrived well in advance, and played beautifully. He brought a special touch to the service. He was perfectly in tune and made good suggestions. His rendition of Amazing Grace was memorable for all the right reasons, it was incredible. We would not hesitate to book Darrell Calvillo again for any type of event!

FuneralReviewed on March 22, 2016From Apple Valley, CA

Unfortunately there comes a time to plan for your parents funeral and I could not ask for anything more than to have Darrell Calvillo help in the time of need. He is like a trustworthy friend who you can depend to be there with the utmost professionalism and compassion. His musical skill has created wonderful memories for myself and family/friends and for that I am so grateful.

WeddingReviewed on December 8, 2015From Mesa, AZ

Darrell played before my daughters wedding, piping people in to church. He looked great and did a great job. Being the father of the bride, I had no time to spend with Darrell other than creating him when he arrived. He knows what he is doing , did his job and left. What a magic touch to my daughters wedding.

Darrell performed in our procession for a wedding ceremony. He was prompt, on time, professional, accommodating and a pleasure to have at our event. He personally reached out to us when we initially asked a quote. Excellent communication and made our event special.
