Review by Harry J.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 12, 2016•From Arlington, VA

Kevin did a terrific job playing for a funeral at Arlington National Cemetery. He was picked for the event as it is important to have a piper, like he is, who is experienced in dealing with the particular requirements and aspects of a military funeral at ANC. He was very professional, made a terrific impression on all the guests, and the music was stirring and great.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on May 3, 2016•From Alexandria, VA

Kevin was extremely professional and flexible. Our organization is a nonprofit human services operation and the event was a fundraiser. He graciously adjusted his fee. Would recommend him without reservation for quality of play, appearance and personal warmth.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 18, 2016•From Washington, DC

Kevin performed the recessional / post service music for my father in law's Memorial Service. He was on time, professional, impeccably dressed and played beautifully. Kevin was patient and understanding with me as I struggled to finalize arrangements and competing needs of my family. He was easy to communicate with and very responsive. He had suggestions of the types of music he could play, that were perfect for the service. He arrived early and was well prepared. I received many compliments for his beautiful playing, which perfectly complimented the service. I highly recommend Kevin.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 18, 2016•From Mifflintown, PA

Kevin O'Brien was very prompt, arriving before the scheduled time of our event. Kevin is very pleasant, personable and very accommodating. We all enjoyed his playing skills and there is nothing like the sound of Kevin playing the Highland Bagpipes. WOW! Kevin played his Highland Bagpipes and a smaller Bagpipe for my husbands 60th birthday party at our business location and the event is the talk of the town. We would highly recommend Kevin to play his Bagpipes at any of your special occasions. Thank You Again Kevin, Lin : )

Kevin did an excellent job in creating an the atmosphere for the service for my Father. His timing of when he performed the pieces of music was perfect. I would highly recommend him to anyone who loves bagpipe music. He also looked the part as well.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on September 22, 2015•From York, PA

Mr. O'Brien arrived in a timely fashion and was dressed for the occasion in a kilt. He was very professional and was a trooper to play in steady rain during the memorial service. We all very much appreciated him taking part. I highly recommend him. He seems like a nice person in addition to being a good bagpiper. Thank you!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on December 23, 2014•From Timonium, MD

Kevin O'Brien was absolutely amazing at my wedding! Everyone was blown away not only by him but his talent. I have always wanted a bagpiper and I do not regret choosing him. I'm a big nerd and requested the Game of Thrones intro music be incorporated into the wedding tunes. He did not hesitate and even sent a demo of the song before playing it at my wedding! A.M.A.Z.I.N.G Thank you SO SO much!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on July 6, 2014•From Middletown, PA

Kevin O'Brien is a complete professional - musical ability, timeliness, attire, manners, and more! We hired Kevin to perform for a celebration honoring my parents and in particular for my Father's 85th Birthday. My Dad was so moved by Kevin's performance! He wished that his brother and parents were still alive to have experienced the performance with him. Kevin took time to talk with my Father and explain the pipes he was using. Kevin brought back fond memories for my Dad and helped create new ones for our whole family! We are beyond thankful and grateful! I highly recommend Kevin O'Brien as a bagpiper for any event!

Wedding•Reviewed on January 6, 2014•From Glyndon, MD

Kevin did a wonderful job playing at our wedding ceremony! His presence really set the stage for our Christmas wedding Mass. My only regret was not asking him to play more during the ceremony and at our reception. I would highly recommend Kevin to play at any and EVERY function you plan. Thank you, Kevin for doing a great job!
