Review by Laura K.

Funeral•Reviewed on May 24, 2021•From Jacksonville, FL

Paddy added a lot to my Dad's funeral service. He worked with the folks at the church to integrate smoothly into the service. In addition, my Dad had requested that we play "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" at his funeral. This is not a staple for the bagpipes, but Paddy did some research on You Tube to figure out how to play this on the pipes, which was very meaningful to us. He called the day following the service to make sure my Mom and the rest of the family were doing ok. He is both a talented musician and a gentleman. I highly recommend him.

Paddy is a true professional. He arrived on time and prepared to perform. His performance was outstanding. We would recommend him for any of your piping needs.

Paddy did a wonderful job playing at an unconventional site for a funeral lunch. Everyone was very impressed and we were very happy with his performance. So glad we hired him!

Funeral•Reviewed on October 13, 2019•From Jacksonville, FL

Paddy, did an amazing job. He was there on time much before I even expected him. He worked with the pastor and myself to figure out a plan on how we would end our service for my friend. It was simply amazing to have him there, he is a wonderful person and an amazing bagpipe player. He is also very empathetic and multiple times he stated how sorry he was for our loss and he brought comfort to me in this sad time. He did a wonderful job for us and I can't thank him enough. I wish I had more money to give this man because I feel like having him with us and hearing him play somewhat brought a bit of closure to our sad circumstances. Once again Thank you Paddy

We had Passy also at the Church service in May. He did a great job at both venues- we highly recommend him for any occasion when you need bagpipes.

Funeral•Reviewed on June 26, 2019•From Saint Augustine, FL

Paddy was very professional. The children loved him and followed him off the boat and down the boardwalk, while he played his bagpipes.

Funeral•Reviewed on June 19, 2019•From Saint Augustine, FL

Paddy was simply amazing. He came to St. Augustine to play at my Mom's memorial service. He arrived early and was extremely accommodating and professional. My Mom loved Amazing Grace on the pipes, and when he played it at the end to conclude the service, there wasn't a dry eye to be found. He added such a dimension of beauty and grace to the service. Thank you, Paddy!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 16, 2019•From Palm Coast, FL

Paddy was amazing in every sense of the word! He was very professional and prompt with his service. His music was a total surprise to my bride and her Irish family who flew in for the wedding. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a professional bagpipe musician.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 5, 2019•From Ponte Vedra, FL

From beginning to end, the booking process and performance made my wife’s birthday celebration a very special event. His music brought tears to my wife’s eyes as Paddy performed cooperating fully as a surprise performance for her.

Funeral•Reviewed on May 26, 2019•From Interlachen, FL

Paddy was very accommodating to our request and very respectful and sympathetic to our recent loss of our Mom and the music he played at graveside was perfect. We were completely satisfied with in our dealings with Gig Masters and Paddy Costello.

Veteran's Day Party•Reviewed on May 25, 2019•From Kissimmee, FL

Paddy’s bag pipe performance was one of the highlights of our event. He was terrific, on time, and very accommodating. We would definitely hire again and I want to thank gigmasters for making the connection.

Funeral•Reviewed on March 23, 2019•From Mims, FL

Paddy Costello was very prompted in returning our request for a bagpipe player. He is very courteous and very reasonable in pricing. He did a wonderful job at my dad's funeral, which would have made my dad happy. I would hire Paddy again when the need arises!!!

Saint Patrick's Day Party•Reviewed on March 17, 2019•From Palm Coast, FL

Very pleasant and professional. Showed up on time as stated. Just a delight to work with. My guest were pleasantly surprised when he started playing. My guest said he was good and loved the entire surprise. Cant wait till next year. My husband and I were excited and loved him. The only minor criticism would have been to know what he was playing beforehand. I am partially to blame for that because I should have asked. Thank you Paddy for making our St.Patricks party a memorable one!!!!!

Funeral•Reviewed on February 3, 2019•From Longwood, FL

Booked Paddy for a funereal, so not exactly a happy event. Paddy called me quickly after I requested a quote and we discussed what we wanted for the funeral. He didn’t require a down payment, showed up early, and required little direction. He played the songs we requested very well and was extremely pleasant the whole time. I would not hesitate booking him again or recommending him. Amazing grace on the bagpipes to close out a funeral is a real tear jerker.

Paddy was professional, listened closely to the needs of the family and even played sample tunes over the speaker phone for the family selection. Couldn't have asked for anything more! Thank You Paddy!
