Memorial Service•Reviewed on November 28, 2016•From Sierra Madre, CA
Eric was a ray of sunshine for Moms memorial last saturday with the rain. He arrived early, sharply dressed in Scottish attire. He played a beautiful "Amazing Grace"on Scottish pipes and later,a heart warming arrangement of "Danny Boy"(Moms favorite) on the Uilleann pipes. More tissues please. He talked and shared with our family and friends.
Thank you Eric, you made Mom proud.! Moffatt clan-Go raibh maith agat ! We say 6 stars-Talented, professional, friendly.

Eric was the man. He knew the best locations at the wedding to play where the guests would enjoy him the most as they like to take pics with him. We booked him to play before our ceremony. He was great.

I booked Eric as a prelude to my wedding ceremony. My husband is Scottish so we were very blessed to have found such a talented bagpiper performing at our ceremony. Eric is extremely timely at responding to our emails and was very accommodating at taking our requests. He came early and is a self-starter as he was warming up and testing out the sound of his bagpipes. He was prompt with his start and finish times. Our guests couldn't stop praising such a unique choice of a wedding musician at our ceremony! Thanks Eric!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on September 5, 2016•From Hemet, CA
Eric was very responsive to my emails, texts and phone calls up to the day of my Dad's memorial service. However, he was 1/2 hour late due to traffic, we agreed to a 2:30 arrival time but he didn't make it until 2:55 just as my Dad's service began. I was filled with sadness and anxiety anyway due to just losing my dad so text or call would have been nice to let me know he was on his way. He played beautifully and was dressed stunningly. He brought everyone to tears during the service with his rendition of Amazing Grace. He played for about 1/2 hour afterwards and everyone loved him. Besides being tardy, Eric was a pleasure to work with. Amazing young man!
:
The client was very kind and gracious and playing for the service was a pleasant experience. I was traveling from LA to Hemet which under normal conditions is an hour and a half drive, and I left early enough that my original eta was 2:15,. However, a fire along the freeway jammed the traffic and increased my eta to 2:55. I would just like to clarify through this response that I *did* text the client and also the reverend who was coordinating the service to update them with my new eta, but if the client did not receive my text then it would be because the phone number she provided on her gigmasters event description was incorrect or was not her cell phone number.

Eric was great! He was super responsive to our email correspondence, applied for the permits required by my venue in a timely fashion, and was on time for the event. I would hire him again without a question.

Eric was amazing! He was professional, and the timing was impeccable to our coworker's birthday surprise. Our coworker was thrilled and did not expect it at all! Eric took our requests and played them beautifully. I couldn't recommend Eric enough for anyone who would hire him for their next event! He was fantastic and it gave us all a much needed, happy break out of our work day!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 1, 2016•From Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Eric is a wonderful and talented bagpipe player! He played at my Father-In-Laws birthday and had us all in tears. I highly recommend him-- not only is he a sweetheart but he was very patient and accommodating to our needs. There was a bit of a hold up and he was willing to wait patiently while we scrambled to get things together. Let me tell you, it is not a common thing to have a bagpiper play at birthdays, and it was a real treat to experience something like this! Especially in a personal setting! 10/10!!

Eric was very professional and played songs that where requested. He took time to talk to the residents and answer any of their questions. After the party , all of them had nothing but wonderful things to say about him. If they are happy, I am happy! Will hire again.

Words cannot express enough to detail how amazing Eric is as a person, musician, and creative soul. He has a the BEST attitude, is responsive, reliable, flexible, and BEYOND TALENTED! DO Not hesitate to higher this brilliant man and musician. I am forever grateful and thankful that we chose Eric to be a part of our wedding. His costumes are outstanding and he even helped me pick our music. He raced over from one wedding to ours, made it on time, had a great presence and attitude, and delivered what I would say...was..."A perfect performance!" Thank you Eric....you are a gem!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 31, 2015•From Whittier, CA
When I found Eric's profile I was instantly convinced he had to play for our wedding and I was not wrong. He was patient, so kind, willing to go the extra mile for us, and incredibly talented. We were indesicive with what songs we wanted and asked for songs that weren't composed for his type of bagpipe but he took the time to test it out and I would never have noticed they weren't the same. He uplifted us and added to our ceremony something special and memorable with kind words and an even kinder smile.
Plus his outfits are AMAZING.
Thank you for helping make our day so special Eric. Good luck in all your endeavors.

Eric was great! I am a perfectionist, so communication is very important in planning an event! Eric responded to every email quickly and answered every question as detailed as possible. He arrived right on time and his performance super exceeded our expectations. Also, his rate was extremely reasonable! I highly recommend Eric for your Irish and Scottish bagpiping needs! He is such a gentleman and doing business with him was such a pleasure and stress free!!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 26, 2015•From Rancho Cucamonga, CA
We cannot say enough about Eric Bernard. He was personable, responsive, respectful and his performance was flawless. It was an privilege to have him as part of a phenomenal Celebration of Life service for our pastor's wife. Her parents and family were extremely touched and grateful by his part.
We plan to use him in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend him to everyone.

Eric added just the right touch with his music, attitude and overall professionalism in the context of a very meaningful Memorial Service. His ability to quickly adapt to the situation while providing beautiful prelude and postlude music in helping to honor our loved one was very special. He was lauded by many for a job well done that we will all remember for years to come. So grateful to Eric for the important role he played!

Hotel Event•Reviewed on March 21, 2015•From Los Angeles, CA
Eric was a skilled, professional and accommodating musician, he was an absolute gentleman to boot! He enlivened our St. Patrick's Day celebration and had our guests clapping and dancing during the 3 hours he played our hotel patio. Great traditional attire as well. I was impressed with his interest in and knowledge of the ancient arts, considering his youth. I got many compliments from our guests and my staff. I look forward to hiring him again and strongly recommend him for your events. Thank you Eric!

Eric was so kind and very accommodating! He very graciously conversed with us through many emails and phone conversations while we were planning. He was very patient with our indecisions and put us to ease about his time with us and how he would be performing. He was a very important highlight of the wedding ceremony. We were very impressed! Thank you Eric!
