Review by Mary M.

Funeral•Reviewed on October 10, 2019•From Deer Isle, ME

The event was Military graveside service on an island off the coast of Maine, for my husband who was the last direct descendant of his Scottish family. Catherine was wonderful, very professional and brought a sense of dignity to a lovely fall day, while dragonflies flitted everywhere! Many who attended I am sure never saw a bagpiper in person as her strains of O Danny Boy and Amazing Grace leant solemnity to the occasion. I was thrilled to find Gig Masters as I live across our nation and planned everything long distance. I highly recommend Irish Hills Piper. Dr. Mary McVicar

The memorial service was a very lovely service befitting a most decorated Naval Officer. There was even a flyover after the opening prayer for Admiral McVicar. It was an honor and a privilege to play for the McVicar family, especially since my Father was also a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and with the Joint Chiefs of Staff. With Sincere Regards, Catherine

Catherine played me down the aisle at my wedding and she did an incredible job. My husband’s family is Scottish and they loved her performance and felt right at home. She was prompt, professional, and very easy to work with. We literally reached out to her 2 days before the wedding and she responded immediately and made room in her schedule for us. She added so much to our day and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Professional and accommodating Catherine kept in contact with me from February to our date in October. Our wedding rehearsal dinner 80-plus guests loved her playing and expressed that it was a unique celebration for our Scottish Gordon wedding event celebration. Very pleased with choosing our piper through Gigmasters.

Every bit of anticipation was satisfied. The pre-service communication was good. My questions were always answered in a timely period. Dad's memorial ended with Irish Hills Piper playing 'Amazing Grace." My family and I are very glad we hired Catherine.

Amazing! I could not even begin to express my sincere gratitude on behalf of myself, the town of Santa Margarita, and the U.S. Veterans who were at the service - we received SO many positive comments about how immensely talented and grateful everyone is to them. I recommend them without reservation and with complete confidence. They are AWESOME.

Was extremely easy to work with, and the talent and service provided was exactly what we were looking for in our event. If you are looking for a bagpiper along the Central Coast, this is who you need to contact. We thank you for helping with our event!

You won’t find a better bagpiper for your event than Catherine (Irish Hills Piper). We couldn't of been happier with her service. She is highly talented and accommodating. We plan on asking her to play for us again.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 21, 2018•From Morro Bay, CA

All of us in the family agree that Catherine was the highlight of our memorial service for our Mother. It was difficult for her to play on a pitching boat in the ocean, but she braced herself and performed far beyond any expectations. We will never forget her contribution to our service and hope to use her in the future.

She was fabulous ! I needed her to play at two locations, and she was extremely accommodating. The music was beautiful, and her rendition of Amazing Grace was outstanding. Not only was she completely professional but also very nice. I would highly recommend Irish Hills Piper

Irish Hills Piper was clearly one of the highlights of our event. Her music was a nice surprise for our guests, set the tone and atmosphere. She was also a welcome and pleasant part of our event. Her contribution to help make our Hickory Golf Classic a success and raise needed funds and recognition for the Blind and Disabled Golf program is appreciated by all! Thank you Bob Kotowski PGA Director California Blind and Disabled Golf Classic Santa Barbara Olde School Hickory Classic
