Review by Susan M.

Funeral•Reviewed on May 14, 2014•From El Monte, CA

Dave Ibbotson played at my brother's funeral and he was wonderful. It was a very challenging day due to a very important family member running late. It was outdoors and very hot. Dave patiently waited, was supportive, and performed perfectly. I would highly recommend Dave for any occasion.

David showed up early, looked great and was extremely professional. He accommodated everything we asked of him and was the highlight of my dad's memorial service. He even had our 80 year old Scottish friends singing along and tapping their feet. Would not hesitate to use him again!

David did a great job at my father's memorial service. He was at the cemetery early, communicated well, he was thoughtful and played the bagpipes with expertise. I would definitely recommend him anyone thinking about using him at their event. Thanks for the great job David.

Banquet•Reviewed on July 29, 2013•From San Diego, CA

Mr. Ibbotson exceeded expectations in all ascpects of his services. His rendition of the national anthem was not only unqiue but also sharp and enjoyed by the guests. I highly recommend Mr. Ibbotson for military events such as Dining-Outs/Ins. His participation in the ceremony ensured a memorable event for all.

Funeral•Reviewed on May 11, 2015•From Huntington Beach, CA

Mr. Ibbotson is a true professional! His sound added a ray of sunshine to a sad occasion. I will recommend Mr. Ibbotson to any person in need of a piper. He played all the songs we requested and looked very sharp in full regalia.

I have no complaints, Dave was prompt, helpful in choosing the music and he was easy to deal with. He did a wonderful job and his music defiantly added a special touch to my Brother's Celebration of Life. Our guest thought he was very good too. Thank you Dave , it was a pleasure working with you!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 21, 2011•From Idyllwild, CA

Wow! Where do I begin? He learned a new song just for me and had his wife join in playing the harp. She looked like an angel. Everyone's jaw dropped when they heard dave start with the bag pipe as I walked down the isle. He is also very handsome :) I couldnt be happier with my ceremony. It would be a mistake to hire anyone else!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 30, 2013•From Long Beach, CA

David arrived a little early for my granddaughter's wedding ceremony, then talked with the minister to ensure that the ceremony went smoothly. He stayed after the ceremony and agreed to be in some of the pictures. Very professional, personable and talented.

I did not have time to play "when the saints come marching in" He thoughtfully added a few bars of it. This is the something extra which sets him apart

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 4, 2013•From Simi Valley, CA

Five Stars for David! The look on my Fathers face said it all...But the real sentimental moment was when his wife of almost 28 years had a wee tear. David was gracious, knowledgeable, and polished to the nines! The entire party, and bystanders were filled up with this great treat of music and dress. Thank you Sir David!

Review by Katherine G.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 25, 2012•From Huntington Beach, CA

Piperdave called for a phone consultation and helped pick out songs that would suit our needs. He arrived early to warm up and was very kind when the bride was 15 minutes late to the ceremony! When the schedule that we previously spoke about was altered, Dave was immensely flexible and accommodating. He played beautifully, and moved everyone to tears. Thank you for sharing your talents!

David was on time, polite, respectful, wasn't the show, but the background. from his experience, he guided us through the steps for the service. Excellent music and selection.Would highly recommend him.
