Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 9, 2020•From Pipersville, PA

Colin Drummond on the bagpipes made the birthday parade we had for our friend in Pandemic times. On a back country road, he lead our cars in a magical air to surprise our friend who was moved to tears of joy. We all were. Highest rating to Colin for adding the power of such a beautiful sound to celebrate in these challenging times. Many thanks.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 7, 2019•From Easton, PA

Colin was the perfect addition to our daughter's wedding. He piped the guests in and out of the church, playing our requested songs. He could not have been any nicer or professional and his uniform was outfit was spectacular. He was on time and patient as some of our guests were traveling from a distance and arriving late. We so enjoyed having him there and the compliments of our guests confirmed they enjoyed it too. Thank you so much for being part of our special day!

Funeral•Reviewed on August 13, 2018•From Somerville, NJ

Colin was prompt in responding with a bid and courteous in all correspondence dealing with the booking. His piper was on time, professional, and caring. My reason for 4.0 stars for overall satisfaction was that the piper played the songs that were requested. He played well. But he only played one short verse of each song-it just wasn't sufficient! There was no way for me to anticipate that and ask for several verses in advance. There was no way in the midst of a memorial service to ask for an adjustment. One verse of two songs for the amount of money paid was not "value". I guess the burden falls on the consumer to be that specific when booking.

Colin was fantastic and very accommodating at a difficult time on our lives. His piping was a wonderful addition to my dad’s memorial service. I highly recommend.

Colin was so kind to travel to NJ for our wedding! He played everything we asked him too and did so incredibly! Everyone was so moved by the pipes- he was the perfect touch to our Irish wedding! Highly recommend him to anyone!

School Assembly•Reviewed on April 21, 2017•From Wayne, PA

Marian was great. She explained her bagpipes and uniform in an age-appropriate way to the children and they loved her playing. We would highly recommend her for a school assembly.

Amazing! I choose Washington Memorial Pipe Band to perform the bagpipes for my St. Patrick's Day wedding and I' am so glad I did. Colin did an amazing Job preforming at my wedding and my guest were in awe as I journeyed down the isle to the bagpipes.

Funeral•Reviewed on December 28, 2016•From West Chester, PA

Colin was excellent! He played wonderfully for a funeral procession at a large church in West Chester, PA. Many people remarked on his skill and thought it was a lovely way to honor a great man's passing. Colin was very flexible with last minute changes from the Funeral Director, which I'm sure required some patience. I would highly recommend. Thank you Kim England

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on December 12, 2016•From Haverford, PA

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 21, 2016•From Pequea, PA

Marian made contact with us in advance of the wedding to agree the music we wanted to be played. My daughter wanted something more modern for the exit music - so she learned the Game of Thrones theme tune on the pipes !! On the day she arrived early and brought her husband who played the drums. For those of you thinking about having pipes for a wedding I recommend having drums as well - the impact and effect of pipes and drums are tremendous. They were very flexible about arrangements and helped make the day perfect. I cannot recommend Marian and her husband enough - they were even better than I had dared hope.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 14, 2014•From Collegeville, PA

Colin Drummond of the Washington Memorial Pipe Band played for my wedding ceremony on July 5, 2014. Colin was easy to work with, prompt in responding to me, on time the day of, and wonderful to listen to! He piped me down the aisle and then led the march for my new husband and I for the recessional. People raved about the bagpipes and the enhancement it brought to our ceremony. Highly recommend Colin!

Wedding•Reviewed on April 28, 2014•From New Hope, PA

We hired Kenneth Sutherland for our wedding. He was incredibly talented and his timing was clockwork. He made our wedding memorable, and we couldn't be happier with him. I highly recommend Kenneth or any of his band. Thanks!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 4, 2014•From Lancaster, PA

It seemed difficult to coordinate from Rhode Island for a funeral in Pennsylvania, but gigmaster made it so easy. I arrived at the church and Colin Drummond was there. It was a misty and rainy morning, but Colin played beautifully and seemed impervious to the elements. It was a wonderful tribute to my mother and I thank Colin for his professionalism and talent.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 7, 2013•From Hellertown, PA

We hired them for our Mother's 50th Birthday. These guys were great. It was a huge surprise for our Mother and she was extremely happy. They were very professional and arrived on-time and played a great set of music. I would hire them again in the future and would recommend them to all that I know.

July 4th Party•Reviewed on July 11, 2013•From Skippack, PA

The Washington Memorial Pipe Band is an extremely entertaining group of pipers that put on a terrific show. I'm hoping they come back next 4th of July to entertain the Village of Skippack parade goers!
