Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 16, 2025•From Villanova, PA

Bill was so fantastic! Do not hesitate to book him for all your bagpiping needs. Bill played an amazing set during the recessional of our wedding and made the day extra special for us. Myself and all of our guests loved the bagpiping as it added a beautiful touch to the ceremony. Thank you again for everything, Bill!

Funeral•Reviewed on June 15, 2025•From Lansdowne, PA

Wow! Mr Watson exceeded our expectations in every way. He played for my fathers funeral. It was a rainy day. When we arrived, he was standing admist the headstones playing for us. This really set the tone and the sound was beautiful. At the conclusion, he played Amazing Grace and brought us to tears. Thank you so much! I highly recommend Watson Celtic Pipes for your occasion!!!!

We were very pleased with Watson Celtic Pipes; his playing and professionalism were exactly what we were hoping for. Communication was clear and prompt, payment was easy through The Bash, and his playing for our event was perfect. Thank you!

Bill Watson was awesome. He was very easy to work with as we planned our memorial service. He was professional, kind and very accommodating. In addition, Bill and his drummer sounded amazing and we highly recommend them. He added a special touch to our celebration of life. If you hire Bill, you will be in the right hands.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 18, 2024•From Philadelphia, PA

Bill and Alison were terrific in every way. They went above and beyond—when the wedding was delayed by an hour, they stuck around for us (be sure to call to let them know, if this happens to you!). We were grateful that they did stay to play their beautiful music for us just as we had requested. It is deeply appreciated. Highly recommend

Finely played bagpipe music and great entertainment to welcome guests to a wedding reception. As a piper myself I thought the playing was very solid.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 24, 2023•From Valley Forge, PA

You won't go wrong with. Watson... highly skilled pipe & drum. Friendly, accommodating,, easy to work with, but with a precision of playing that is award worthy. Many guests said that their performance made our event. True ambassadors of the form.

I could not have been more pleased with Watson Celtic Pipes and Drums. William is an absolute pleasure to work with, very professional, friendly, and exceedingly talented. His beautiful pipe playing added a wonderful element to my father’s memorial service. Anyone looking to hire a piper will meet with excellence if they choose William Watson.

Funeral•Reviewed on February 6, 2023•From Lansdale, PA

Interesting story, we discovered that they were the same group that performed at my parent's 50th wedding anniversary in 2001, days before 9/11. It was so touching to have the exact same group. They did a great job and were very flexible with us. Thanks again, Christine Monte

William played bagpipes for my grandmothers funeral - he was responsive, arrived early, professional and so talented. He played beautifully and it was the perfect send off for our family. I'd definitely work with him again and recommend him to anyone looking for a great piper!
