Elise is extremely talented and professional and would be an asset to any event that calls for a bagpiper.
:
Thank you very much Susan! Perhaps during our next drive through Flagstaff I'll need to practice my bagpipes, and you'll hear Skye Boat Song drifting toward you on the breeze. And we'll bring a supply of carrots for the donkeys.
Best Wishes,
piper Elise

Elise played both the fiddle and the bag pipes to the delight and enjoyment of the entire neighborhood! Amazing musician and so approachable. The kids were enthralled. Thank you again, Elise!
:
Thank you very much, Mary! I am still feeling amazed at your ability to overcome challenges that would intimidate other people, and be the full-on host of your great party. New Mexico will be lucky to have you...
Best Wishes,
Elise

Thank you, Alecia, for inviting me to play at your lovely resort. I greatly enjoyed the fruit while driving from Stockton to Walnut Creek. For future, if you've got members wishing for any particular tunes, I'll be happy to learn up to two new tunes per gig, if you give me at least a month of advance notice. In fact, taking requests can be great fun, because sometimes people come up with really unusual requests (like Led Zeppelin Into the Light, and Procul Harem Whiter Shade of Pale). Also, I appreciate learning from my clients which of the many hundreds of old traditional pipe tunes people most want to hear.
Best Wishes, piper Elise

Hi Juliana,
Thank you for inviting me to play for St. Pat's party. You have the most attentive seniors I have ever played for as a group, which was fun because they clearly wanted to be entertained. If you decide to have a piper again next year, I would definitely arrange the room sideways, to have the piper stand outside those double doors and everybody facing them, so nobody needs to sit too near the loud music.
I hope the rest of your party was a great success!
Best Wishes,
piper Elise

Elise is an Amazing bagpiper! She came early and played right on through! She was also very kind and professional for my sisters memorial! I will definitely hire her again and recommend her 100 percent! Thank you so much Elise
:
Thank you very much, Kerry. I appreciated the warm reception from all the friends of you and your sister. I will spread the word about Emergency Barbecue - sometimes there are days where you've just gotta have it!

Elise was great. She helped me with the selection of songs to be played during my father's service and they were moving and very heartfelt. Elise was not only a piper, but a key person with heartfelt emotions for this service. I can't thank her enough. She was grand!
:
Many thanks for your kind words, Kent. Your family and guests were all so warm and friendly that I felt taken in from the moment I arrived. And it was a pleasure listening to your relatives' childhood adventure stories - they kind of made me wish I had grown up as a cowgirl!
Best Wishes,
piper Elise

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 25, 2016•From Piedmont, CA
Elise was exceptional!
We chatted several times before event and made all arrangements together.
She was easy to work with, flexible when it came time for her performance and very willing.
She's on my list to call again!
:
Your kind words are much appreciated, Susan. And boy did you catch me by surprise when your spontaneous dance conjured a whole circle of dancers! I think you can take credit for turning that gathering into a party. If I am ever bagpiping for you again, I will be ready to bust out the polkas! Best Wishes to you, and your son and new daughter-in-law. - piper Elise

Elise is an amazing and talented bagpiper!! She performed at our church's St. Patrick's Day Dinner Dance and set the tone of the night by piping our guests into the event. Elise is very professional and super easy to work with! She is very communicative and also responded quickly to any questions. Thank you for sharing your talents...it was a great night! Look forward to working with you again!!!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 17, 2016•From Stockton, CA
Elise, was amazing! She literally had one day's notice. We had previously booked someone else and unfortunately they weren't able to make it. She drove from Santa Cruz to Stockton which is about a 2 hour drive. Her pricing was reasonable. Thanks again Elise.
:
Thank you very much, Carmen. It helped that you were able to think quickly when your other piper needed to cancel, and that you trusted my intuition for how to follow in his footsteps.
Warmly, piper Elise

Funeral•Reviewed on June 5, 2016•From San Francisco, CA
Elise exceeded expectations In helping us to select songs for our scattering of ashes in San Francisco Bay. She was very professional in every step of the process and her bagpipe playing was enjoyed by all of our family.
Don't forget to ask for Amazing Grace if it is appropriate for your event. She gets a ten and two thumbs up. Highly recommended !
Thank you Elise for helping to make this a special experience for everyone !
:
Wow, David. I feel honored. And thank you very much for being well organized in communicating with everyone about the timing and location of the ceremony, so they could all make it to the boat on time, feeling relaxed, and absorb themselves completely in giving your mom a great sendoff.
Warmly, piper Elise

Elise was great. I got a lot of nice comments about her. The audience enjoyed the music.
:
Thanks very much Sue for taking the time to review me, and for your kind words. I've talked to Jason about playing for you again in the Fall. He wants a Led Zeppelin song. Since bagpipes only have 9 notes, this is going to be a fun challenge!
Cheers, Piper Elise
