Funeral•Reviewed on November 10, 2025•From Mount Vernon, WA

It was an honor and pleasure to have Neil perform at my Mother’s memorial on Saturday. He was very professional, kind, and a true gentleman in a time of great sorrow for our family. My Mom would have been in awe of his performance and we know she was tapping her feet in Heaven. Thank you Neil Warmly, The Freiman Family

Neil's enthusiasm for the art of the bagpipes was what sold us on selecting him. Wonderful experience and very skilled individual. Everyone enjoyed it.

Neil Hubbard provided excellent communication prior to the event and a great performance. This event was a funeral at Tahoma National Cemetery. Neil is very knowledgeable of the process used at Tahoma. That made things much easier on my end.

We hired Neil Hubbard to play bagpipes at our mother's burial in August. It was her prior request to have a bagpiper! We thought it would be difficult to locate and engage a bagpiper, but through a google search, The Bash connected us with several. Neil was our choice because of his responsiveness and experience. It was a good choice! He drove from Seattle to Tacoma and arrived at the cemetery in time to set up and be playing when the family arrived. His music was lovely and reverent, it really added to the ceremony without being obtrusive.

Neil did a wonderful job of piping the attendees into the service and then piping us all up to the condo for the wake. He play beautifully and his Amazing Grace brought tears to many an eye. I'm so very grateful that he was available for my life partner's Celebration of Life.

Me. Hubbard was perfect, professional, and respectful. His attire , his talent, and his willingness to accommodate our requests was wonderful. Our military tribute to my late husband , despite the rain , was beautiful. I highly recommend him for any occasion.

Neil was absolutely wonderful. He was punctual, rolled with punches about last minute changes, but most importantly his playing was absolutely magnificent. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on February 5, 2020•From Bremerton, WA

Wonderful player, we had discussed the volume of the bagpipes prior to the service. I have heard bagpipes that were really too loud, but Neil somehow modified the bagpipe sound so that it was really pleasing level of volume. Highly recommend

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 13, 2020•From Monroe, WA

I want to start by saying Mr. Hubbard was GREAT! When I saw the tears in both my parents eyes when he started playing his bagpipe for my mom's 80th bday party, it was a special moment. He played the songs ppl had requested. It was awesome! Really a special time. I was honored that he would still come during Covd and all the smoke!! Very kind.

Best thing I did for my cousin's funeral & everyone loved his piping. 100% high-class professional & very adaptable to our changing requirements on the fly. My only wish is to hear more of his repertoire! Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for your kind words, Tom. It was a pleasure to be able to provide some music for you and your family. Take care.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 22, 2018•From Lacey, WA

Neil was a delight to work with in planning his surprise appearance at my mother's 90th birthday party. He made great suggestions, responded to my input, was friendly and concise in email communication---and gave us all a wonderful performance on the big day (which was actually his own birthday as well!). He went out of his way to make my mother feel special and thrilled all our guests too.
