We had the honor of Nate's remarkable presence at our daughter's recent wedding.
He was extraordinary, and just perfect for what we had hoped for… He managed all the back-and-forth pre-wedding planning with my daughter, with ease and generosity! He tended to my daughter and her fiancé's special requests, put in the time to make sure it was just perfect. He arrived early, played beautifully and added a gorgeous presence! Can't say enough about him! He made the wedding ceremony magical!

Thanks so much for the kind words Erica—it was great to be there. Congrats to the adorable couple! Cheers!

I hired Nate to play during my father’s funeral services. He was extremely professional and even called the funeral home for me to make playing arrangements. He truly was unbelievable. He played beautifully and it was the perfect tribute to my father. 10 out of 10! I would hire Nate again.

We had an amazing time at my Women's Day Celebration. Having a professional piper and Nate made the festivities even more amazing. I will most definitely recommend The Bash to friends and family and Nate as an awesome Piper. It was a pleasure working with Nate.

Dear all, We thoroughly enjoyed having Nate at our special celebration! His skilled performance was just outstanding! Thank you Nate for making our guest of honor feel so very special!! In the audience were friends and family members who traveled from all over the world and though the venue was excellent, Nate's performance made the entire event extraordinary. Thank you for all that you do !

I'm so humbled by your kind words—thank you! I was glad to be there, and thrilled to know that you all enjoyed the performance. And it's always great to be at Harvard—I'll look for you during the graduation craziness, as I'm pretty much there every year, escorting Eliot House into the yard. Cheers!

Nate was such a great addition to our daughter’s wedding!! Talented musician, very personable, and punctual! He went right out into the marsh in order to be in the perfect spot - and we didn’t even ask that of him. Would absolutely hire Nate again for any family celebration ??
:
Thank you Sara! Yeah, out a bit in the marsh area just seemed to be the best way to go, glad you were happy with it. Congrats again to the happy couple, and thank you for having me!

Review by Marsha H.
Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 25, 2024•From Winchester, MA
Nate Silva was punctual and began playing immediately upon the funeral procession arriving at the gravesite. He stood and played under a large oak tree nearby, but not to close to the burial site to be distracting. He also played several Irish and Scottish songs that I had requested. He was very professional and the family and friends agreed that it made the occasion very special.
:
Thank you Marsha—I appreciate you having me there that day. As you mention, I tend to favor being a slight distance away so that the presence of the pipes isn't overbearing. All the best to you and your family.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 23, 2024•From Rye Beach, NH
Nate was a STAR at our daughter’s very rainy wedding. Not only is he a gifted bagpiper that provided the perfect atmosphere as guests arrived and departed from a century-old stone chapel, but he even pitched in with umbrellas to keep the bride dry! A consummate professional. We thought he stole the show!
:
Awww, very kind of you to say. And yes, I'm always happy to lend a hand where ever I can. Thanks so much for having me—glad the rain cleared off for the exit at least! Cheers to Caroline and Jason!

Review by Pamela M.
Wedding•Reviewed on March 11, 2024•From Gloucester, MA
I feel so lucky to have been able to book Nate Silva to play at my daughter's wedding. He surprised her and her new husband as they left the Church after their wedding ceremony. The performance was a surprise and they both had tears of joy. It was a special moment that none of us will ever forget. It was a very cold day in Gloucester and Nate still managed to play beautifully. He even came back inside to play in the Church while we took pictures. I highly recommend Nate Silva if you want a talented musician to make your event unforgettable.

Thanks so much Pam—I appreciate you having me there! Cheers to the happy couple!

Nate is unbelievably talented, experienced, professional, and kind. He played for a service for my best friend’s father, and was kind enough to meet with us in advance and send a number of recordings of himself playing. He is prompt and plays beautifully. I would strongly recommend you book Nate for any event you have!
