Neil made a significant contribution to my husband's memorial service. He was excellent in every way! I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to include bagpipes in their ceremony or event.

Best surprise ever!! Neil arrived at the birthday party playing his bagpipes. All our guests loved the music and I received glowing comments from everybody. What a hit! Neil is a very talented musician- he plays wonderful music.

Private Party•Reviewed on January 25, 2013•From Woodinville, WA

Neil was great. He was on time, did everything that was requested of him in order to assist my daughter and her presentation on Ireland. He spoke to the children at their level using terms they understood. He even played a little extra as some classrooms stopped by after his first demonstration. I would recommend him highly.

Neil played at my mother's funeral . I wanted only the best for my mom and I got it . Neil was so very kind and understanding . My father a true scot at age 90 knows a thing or two about bagpipers and he enjoyed Neil's playing.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 22, 2013•From Anacortes, WA

Neil was outstanding! He did an amazing job and was so patient and flexible with service delaying for start time as well as rain for part of the service. We recommend Neil without reservation! Thanks again! Janet

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 26, 2013•From Seattle, WA

Our surprise for my father who turned 70 could not have been better! Having Neil come to our home and play for us was the highlight of the small party as well making it memorable for all of us especially Dad and my step mother Anne on a visit from NY.Things were simple and special and it was a great evening thanks to this aspect of the party. Living on two coasts, the distance can be hard but nothing like the bagpipes to really bring us all together again. Many thanks to Neil Hubbard for coming we will always be grateful, and the gig master service really made it possible to book , as we were fortunate he was available. All the best, Dawn Glover

Memorial Service•Reviewed on September 25, 2013•From Port Orchard, WA

I would not hesitate to use Mr. Hubbard again (although hopefully for a different type of occasion) Conducted himself with the utmost professionalism and class; not to mention his bagpipe playing was excellent.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 28, 2014•From Covington, WA

Overall - very pleased with what Neil Hubbard added to the memorial service for my father-in-law. This was a service with full honors (7-person honor guard) @ Tahoma National Cemetery. Neil added music honoring the service, and the man.

For my mothers funeral, a time you cannot redo... I hired Mr Hubbard to play once before the service and once at the conclusion of the service. I checked in with him twice prior to the April 10th date. He was a no show for the time he was to begin! I was very sorry to have hired him. Big mistake. He offered no answer just that he was sorry, well, so was I. Wish I had not wasted my time. It was already a bad day, this just added to it. If you are looking to hire a bagpipe player do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

:

Dear Cindy, I made a mistake I can’t fix. I added to your woes on the day of your mother’s funeral. For that I am profoundly sorry. When I spoke to you, I felt so bad; all I could do was apologize. I correctly wrote down the 1:00 PM start time, but somehow had a different time in mind. I offered to play some music anyway (I learned your request “Old Rugged Cross”); it was understandable for you to say no. I place a high value on punctuality. This is a one-time instance, as verified by dozens of five-star reviews from other clients. As a result of my error, I've made some changes to the way I keep my calendar and set reminders so this won’t happen again.

Neil played the pipes at my father's memorial service. He was excellent and I would recommend him without reservation.
