Catherine was lovely. She stood on a small island and played for our family as we cast my husband's ashes into the bay. The eagles flew over her in appreciation.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 20, 2022•From Corea, ME

We asked Catherine to play the bagpipes for our wedding on the coast of Maine. She endured my annoying phone calls and changing plans with much understanding! In a nutshell, her playing was magical! She led the procession down a winding plank path through the woods to come out onto the beach. It was so lovely! It felt like we were in a fairy tale. I would hire her again in a second!

Family Reunion•Reviewed on July 18, 2022•From Seal Harbor, ME

Catherine played at my Mom’s wedding, and then her graveside service a few years later. On both occasions her bagpiping created an incredibly authentic and comforting backdrop. Catherine is very kind, accommodating and a talented musician. She is professional and punctual, and brought my family and Mom a great deal of joy when she played. Thank you so much, Catherine!

Catherine was a fantastic piper for our commencement event. She was very friendly and responsive before the event and upon arriving, open and receptive to any changes we needed. Every interaction with her was professional and her piping was exactly what we were looking for. I would recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced piper for their events.

Communication from Irish Hills Piper was prompt and informative. She gave an excellent performance. Crisp, clean appearance in a beautiful kilt. The music was lovely and well done. Others who attended the event have mentioned to me how impressed they were. Don't hesitate to book her for your special occasion.

Catherine Pearce was most professional, exceeding all my expectations. Her attention to follow-through was impeccable. She was most gracious and kind. Her presentation - physically, socially, spiritually, and musically was by far the best I have ever experienced. Many people were moved to tears by her gift of music. Anyone considering asking Catherine to offer her talent will truly be blessed. She is a God-send.

Catherine did a wonderful job in providing music that truly elevated our virtual engagement party/couples shower. The music sounded beautiful and everyone loved it. She is so professional and easy to work with. She really assisted me in planning the agenda and had suggestions for what to play and when the music should come in. I highly recommend Catherine!

Engagement Party•Reviewed on January 10, 2021•From New York City, NY

Catherine is magnificent! She is an amazing performer, incredibly talented, and super professional. I hired her to perform at a virtual engagement party I threw for a friend (during the covid-19 pandemic). Catherine's bagpipe performance elevated the party; everyone absolutely loved it. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a highly talented, professional bagpiper. She was accommodating with song requests, prompt in email replies, and was happy to meet a day before to make sure the audio/visual were ok over zoom. It was an absolute pleasure working with Catherine!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 1, 2020•From Jonesboro, ME

Irish Hills Piper was outstanding! If you want bagpipes played at your wedding or special event, please reach out to Catherine. She made several phone calls before my wedding to make sure the details were perfect. She was on time, very professional, and the music was so beautiful. Many compliments were given about her and the music, everyone loved it! I can't thank her enough for making my dream of bagpipe music at my wedding come true! She's truly a very nice person and will go above and beyond for you!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 18, 2020•From Seal Cove, ME

Catherine was absolutely wonderful in accommodating the song requests for my Mom’s wedding, she was kind and helpful in her suggestions, and incredibly professional and a great musical talent! She really made the day so very special - we appreciated her presence so much! Her bag piping transcended a sweet, intimate family wedding in a beautiful setting into a lasting tearful memory that our neighbors on Seal Cove Pond were also able to enjoy! There wasn’t much more beautiful than her bag piping echoing across the pond at sunset. Thank you Catherine!
