Review by Wendy B.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 11, 2017•From Hartland, WI

I hired Joe based on his reviews for my wedding ceremony at a private residence at the end of a pier on a lake. I knew I would like and depend on him based on how well he communicated with me and replied to my emails and questions so promptly. He showed up early for the ceremony and played the songs I had requested with exceptional talent. I wish I could experience the same event over and over again! My ceremony was wonderful because Joe was a part of my special day! Thanks Joe!

Joe was professional at all times and is an excellent piper. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Our guests were highly impressed and will talk about our event for years. Our event started a bit late due to some late arrivals to the party and Joe was patient and waited for the last few guests. If you are in need of a piper for your event you should consider Joe Sommers, Excellent Job. Thanks Joe!

Joseph was amazing, and his piping left not a dry eye at my daughter's wedding. He definitely made the service extremely special and was extremely accommodating, professional and talented. This was an outdoor wedding, and once everyone heard the beautifully haunting melodies of his bag pipe it signified the commencement of something very special. I am sure that my daughter's Scottish grandmother, my mum, was smiling down from heaven. Big, big recommend 5 stars.....

Joseph was excellent! He was very prompt with e-mails making sure every detail for my proposal to my now fiance were taken care of. Joseph even helped give me some ideas to best surprise her. He was very professional and very talented. The look on her face when he started playing was priceless! Can't wait to book this guy for our wedding!

Joe was the BEST! He accommodated all our requests (even last minute ones) and went on without a hitch! The entire crowed was WOWed by him and he was the main feature of our daily blog for the event! I would highly recommend him for any function you may have!

Funeral•Reviewed on July 7, 2011•From Milwaukee, WI

Joe was exceptionally accommodating and detail-oriented. He was available at every turn to answer my questions, and offered valuable suggestions in finalizing the arrangements for his playing at my mother's memorial. I received very positive feedback from friends and family who attended. Simply put, his presence "made the ceremony." I would highly recommend him to anyone inquiring.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 17, 2016•From Milwaukee, WI

Joe is amazing! The first time we used Joe was at my Grandma's funeral. We told Joe we would just need him at the end, but he still came to the entire mass, which we were really impressed by. We just used Joe for my wedding and he was incredible. He led the bridal processional on a 3 block walk to the church playing the bagpipes. He is great! Highly recommend!

Funeral•Reviewed on July 21, 2016•From Brookfield, WI

Joseph played at the grave site services for my sister. His playing was soulful and joyful at the same time. He accommodated my request and was prompt in answering emails before the event. The added special "Irish" touch he gave to my sister's funeral was so comforting to us all. I would, without any reservations recommend Joe again. I hope to hire him again in the future for a happier occasion. Thanks you so much Joseph, you will never know how much comfort your playing gave to our family and friends.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 27, 2016•From Stoughton, WI

Joseph did an incredible job playing during our wedding ceremony! Aside from doing a wonderful job helping me select music and his great performance skills, Joseph went above and beyond to accommodate my special requests. I had hired him as a surprise for my groom, requiring coordination between Joseph and several other vendors in order to maintain the surprise. Everything went off flawlessly and my husband and guests were wonderfully surprised when he came out playing during the ceremony! Our guests were highly impressed by his playing.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 21, 2016•From Kenilworth, IL

It was very willing to work with me to keep his presence hidden until the moment of the announcement of my wife and myself as a married couple. He did amazing and my wife was beyond thrilled and has mentioned how great it was more than 20 times already. He made our wedding that much better! 5 stars all around!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 2, 2015•From Milwaukee, WI

I hired Joe as a surprise to my husband for our wedding recessional. Joe was great! He worked with our church wedding coordinator and my husband and absolutely no idea. Joe gave recommendations for an Irish recessional as well. It was definitely a fun touch to our wedding!
