Elise was an incredible bagpiper. She played beautifully. She was professional and caring. I would highly recommend her if you are in need of a talented bagpiper.

Elise was fantastic in every way! She played for my church's Christmas Eve service and we certainly hope to have her back. Her music selections were perfect; it was just such a pleasure having Elise and her bagpipes join us.

Many thanks Jessica!
It was my pleasure. I love your enthusiasm for all things musical. And I enjoyed the group energy in your church - clearly everyone supports and values one another, like an extended family.
And also, I loved your green velvet dress :)
Stay cozy and have a terrific new year.

Elise is not only a superb musician, she is friendly & just a lovely woman. It was an honor for us to have her play at our mother’s memorial and to enjoy her company.
I would hire her again without hesitation!

Thank you Kathleen!
It was my pleasure playing for your family, and connecting with you, and hearing stories about your mom. In fact, at dinner I told my daughter about your mom's annual Christmas food boxes and now I think she would like to start getting them.
Anyhow, thank you for including me, and I wish you all the best for the coming year and beyond.

Community Event•Reviewed on September 10, 2024•From Aptos, CA
From start to finish, Elise was a joy to work with. Even when she was out of the country, she was in communication with us planning the event. On the day of, she showed up early and carried a warm and enthusiastic presence. And then her playing - wow. Elise was absolutely perfect and we look forward to having her back.
:
Thank you very much Jonas! I enjoyed the whole morning and meeting your nice community. Actually, I think my mom might enjoy coming to some of your church services, but she is almost 99 and lives on the far westside, so I am not sure if it's logistically practical, but I will see what she thinks.
Anyhow, thank you for including me and good luck with your new position inspiring this fine group of people.

Funeral•Reviewed on June 28, 2024•From Santa Cruz, CA
She was very easy to work with and give us exactly what we are looking for, and my mother‘s celebration of life
:
Thank you, Gary.
It was a beautiful sendoff. I am still remembering how blowing white fog swallowed our boat leaving the harbor, and then right after scattering your mom's ashes a glow appeared over the land, and at first I thought it was the moon (because I have never seen the sun reach that extreme angle), and then a slim vertical cloud crept into the glow, and then a bright shimmer appeared on the water - just long enough for you to turn around and see it - and then the fog closed back up again. That was really a magical finish for a woman who designed costumes for Disney!
Thank you for including me in her ceremony.
Best wishes to you and all your friends and family for 2024 and beyond,
piper Elise
