Funeral•Reviewed on March 11, 2022•From Frederick, MD
Jeff responded to a request that had zero notice and subsequently afforded him no time to prepare for what was an emotional and personal event. (a baby's funeral). He was empathetic, and was accommodating to the short notice and the confusion that accompanied the changing details of the even involving time, location, etc. As my side of the family (my niece was the mother of the child that passed) is first generation American (from Ireland) she requested at the last minute to have certain "old country traditions" (the bagpiper among them) being done. I am forever grateful that I lucked into Jeff responding to the request that I placed on your site. Thank you

We hired Jeff for an Irish-themed corporate event, and he did a fantastic job! He was very responsive and professional with an awesome, clear sound. When he encountered difficulties due to fog, he rolled with the punches and made it work. Having Jeff playing at the entrance to the event was a show-stopper that was really special and memorable. Thank you!

Jeff was the consummate, friendly professional. He was gracious and, as we'd seen out and about, a great entertainer. He also went above and beyond in taking extra care to make sure that our special event was, literally, never ending. Mr. Herbert was fantastic!

Community Event•Reviewed on March 27, 2019•From Laurel, MD
We could not have happier with Jeff Herbert and his performance. He was very professional and accommodating, plus he is an excellent musician. Our event was an Irish American Heritage celebration at a college extension center and Jeff made so interesting and informative, as well as entertaining. Our students were very engaged and enjoyed the entire show. Jeff was happy to answer the students' questions, demonstrate the bagpipes and tell wonderful stories about Irish music and his experience as an Irish American. We will definitely book him again next year!!

We are thankful Jeff Herbert accomodated both our Father’s Mass and funeral. Jeff is an excellent musician, plays with feeling, sensitive to the group movement and setting, honest and straightforward to work with; the consummate professional and gentleman, even competing with geese at the cemetery! Highly recommend Jeff Herbert

Jeff Herbert played beautifully, anticipated location and crowd movement to provide optimal acoustics and a respectful dignified professional. Many in our gathering of 200 remarked on how moving Jeff Herbert’s music was. We highly recommend Jeff Herbert.

Jeff played the guitar and bag pipes for a St. Patrick's Day event at Senior Living community. He was great with residents with interacting, taking the time to explain the bagpipes ect.. I would recommend Jeff for any gig but especially with seniors!
Memorial Service•Reviewed on March 9, 2019•From Harpers Ferry, WV
Jeff was very flexible and accommodating. We originally booked for 10:00 AM but had to change to 11:00 AM. Mr. Herbert played all the songs requested, offered suggestions and added some of his own. He worked closely with our Pastor and Local Honor Guard on logistics and timing and it went off without a hitch, like clockwork. Everyone was so impressed and grateful that we had a professional bagpiper for Dad's service. It made me feel proud in honoring Dad's request. Jeff joined us for lunch afterwards and was very pleasant to get to know. He and Dad were both firefighters. I am so glad that we booked Jeff as it brought true pleasure to a grieving moment. #KILT
