We were extremely satisfied with Sheldon's work and presentation at our wedding ceremony. Having coordinated with Sheldon solely via email, I was very confident he understood our wishes, and that we were on the same page. Sheldon was extremely responsive and gave many helpful suggestions. His professionalism and talent spoke volumes.. would definitely recommend!

Sheldon was amazing. We knew the minute we had spoken with him that he was the piper we were looking for. He was on-time, professional and extremely accomodating. We can not thank Sheldon enough for allowing us to book him on such short notice. Also, because this was a wedding that had taken place at the Chatham Bars Inn, all the guests in and around the immediate area could hear him play and many of those guests made comments throughout our stay about how beautifully he had played. Thank you so much Sheldon.

My family hired Mr. Hamblin to play for my mother's funeral services. He was incredibly prompt, professional, and courteous in our correspondences. He treated everything with dignity and played great selections, while accommodating our own requests. He was prompt and self-managed. My family and I highly recommend him.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 21, 2013•From West Harwich, MA
Sheldon was absolutely terrific! He was prompt, courteous, witty, charming and engaging. The guests at the party were completely enrapt by Sheldon's performance. The range of selections he played was fantastic and his anecdotes about the instrument were totally enjoyable. My father, who is Scottish, had tears of joy in his eyes from Sheldon's performance, and my dad does not cry easily. I would highly recommend Sheldon. He was the highlight of my dad's 80th birthday party.

Pipe Major Hamblin was excellent. He arrived right on time and dressed very professionally. Before each song, he gave a little history of the song. We especially liked this. I would definitely recommend him to others!! He made the party!

We hired Mr. Hamblin to play before and after the church ceremony. He was on time arriving, and he played a song that we had requested. We sent him the sheet music for it, and as I exited the church he played it perfectly. We were extremely pleased with his performance and if opportunity arose, would hire him again in a second.

Sheldon C. Hamblin played for our wedding. He played as guests arrived, up to the procession, and then again for the receiving line. It was a great touch to a perfect wedding day! Many of my guests complimented the music of the bagpipes. Thank you Sheldon!
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 25, 2008•From Worcester, MA
I hired Pipe Major Sheldon C. Hamblin to play at my wife's 50th birthday party held at The Beechwood Hotel in Worcester, MA. She loves the bagpipes and is interested in her Scottish heritage. Her family and close friends were in attendance. Everyone was so impressed by his knowledge of the bagpipes, and how he presented it in such an interesting and thoroughly enjoyable way. He was dressed in full Classic Scottish Piper attire. It made for a very classy affair. I couldn't have been more pleased!

My client was very happy with the quality of Sheldon and he did a great job!
I was a little nervous about booking entertainment over the internet across country but it turned out to be a great experience.
Thanks Sheldon!

Sheldon played wonderfully, even though the rain poured down and he had a challenging situation on/near the beach! He was professional, courteous and very accommodating in our song choices and timing requests. He went out of his way to help us pick the right type of songs (even emailed us files so that we could hear his music). He was quick to reply to questions during planning and performed just as we had hoped. Thank you, Sheldon!!!
