Funeral•Reviewed on February 12, 2024•From Virginia Beach, VA

We hired Jim for our father's funeral and it could not have been any better. He arrived a few minutes early and played everything we asked. It was very dignified and respectful. Everyone in particular the family really appreciated his efforts. Our father was properly honored

Jim was fantastic. He was readily available for our event and said he would be proud to play for us. He showed up on time, perfectly dressed in Highland rig and provided a perfect welcome for our guests. Really pleased to have found him and would definitely recommend x

Thank you so much for including me in your special event—and for this wonderful review!

Funeral•Reviewed on October 17, 2023•From Newport News, VA

Jim was absolutely awesome. He played for a memorial service and I can not tell you how much it meant. If you need a bagpiper, I would recommend him! We will use him if we ever need a bagpiper again.

Thank you for the opportunity to play for you—and for the great review!

Funeral•Reviewed on May 29, 2023•From Hampton, VA

Very talented performer. Services was for a military funeral, Jim was very respectful and accommodating. He arrived early and performed some selections prior to the service and his performance of Amazing Grace at the conclusion was very special to me, my family and friends. The military honor guard that was there to present the colors, fold and present the flag and perform taps was also very complimentary of Jim’s performance.

Thank you, Thomas! Peace be with you and your family. ????

Funeral•Reviewed on January 16, 2023•From Nags Head, NC

Jim Roberts played bagpipes at my husband's Memorial Service in Saturday, January 14, 2023. He entered the church at the end of the service & totally surprised our family & guests as he played "Amazing Grace". He walked up the center aisle & played until he exited the church. He then traveled a short distance to the venue where the Celebration of Life was held. He played as our family & friends arrived. His services were a wonderful addition to our event. My husband loved bagpipes!

Wedding•Reviewed on March 28, 2022•From Norfolk, VA

Jim was most professional and helpful. I was in need of a jacket to wear with my Kilt, and Jim sourced one for me and even dropped it at the cleaners for me to later pick up.

Thank you, Michael! I’m glad I was able to help.

Jim is an amazing Bagpiper. He was part of my fathers military honors funeral and did an outstanding job accompanying the color guard to give my father the send off he deserved! I would highly recommend Jim for any special ceremonies!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 18, 2019•From Norfolk, VA

Jim absolutely made the beginning of our party over the top wonderful! He played the bag pipes with the birthday revelers following him down our road. It added so much to our party and is one that not many are likely to forget. Thank you so much, Jim.

It was perfect! Jim showed up at the restaurant at the appointed time and played wonderfully for my 88 year old mother's birthday. She was enthralled. I have and will continue to recommend Jim and his pipes to all my friends and contacts.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on September 26, 2018•From Virginia Beach, VA

There are no words to describe how incredible Mr. Roberts was. Even though my daddy’s service was small, Mr. Roberts treated it as if it was a kings funeral. Everyone could not stop raving on Mr. Roberts’ performance. Everyone was in complete awe of him. Thank you so much Mr. Roberts from my entire family for the incredible songs, support, and respect you showed. You were amazing! God bless!

Thank you so much for this incredible review! Peace be with you and your family.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on May 31, 2018•From Hampton, VA

We had a celebration of life for my wife at St. John's church in Hampton, Va and Jim Roberts did a wonderful job. He was on time, very professional. If any one needs a bagpiper, Jim Roberts would be the the person you should call.

Thank you, sir. It was a beautiful service and a privilege for me to be a part of it. Peace be with you and your family.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on May 20, 2018•From Norfolk, VA

Jim was fantastic in every way, I would recommend him to anyone! He was an excellent choice for our event. He even went out of his way to learn a new song selection that we requested.

Thank you for the wonderful review! For your event next year, I highly recommend Jim Dillahey, the director of piping at the Citadel and president of the Eastern United States Pipe Band Association. Please tell him I referred you.
