Funeral•Reviewed on January 17, 2026•From Woodstown, NJ

Thom, The Happy Bagpiper was very professional and talented. I had the Bagpiper come to my aunt's funeral in Woodstown, NJ to play at the funeral home, grave and at the entrance of the Country Club. Thom played many songs and brought me to tears so many times. His playing was amazing and I would highly recommend him to play at your event! Thom thank you so much!

Thank you so very much, Jennifer! It was an absolute privilege and pleasure to play for your family and loved ones! My very best wishes, Thom

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 30, 2024•From Sparta, NJ

Thom responds promptly to messages. Arrives before the start of the event to set up and warm up. He learned a special song for me which made my wedding day even more special for me and my now wife. All along the way he was happy, kind and has an eagerness to accommodate. His talent impressed our guests and he was kind enough to stay for some pictures. If you are in need of a bagpiper for any event, the happy piper can deliver in spades. He can play the uilleann and the highland pipes. Go raibh mile maith agut, Thom!

Graduation Party•Reviewed on May 24, 2024•From Hammonton, NJ

I am thrilled to share an excellent review for the bagpiper we hired for the PhD graduation party. Despite starting later than scheduled, he was incredibly patient and cooperative, ensuring the event flowed smoothly. His friendly demeanor and adaptability to last-minute changes were truly commendable. His performance left an indelible memory on the minds of our guests, making the day truly unforgettable. Thanks to his exceptional talent and professionalism, the celebration was a resounding success. I will definitely hire him again in the future.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on August 29, 2023•From Lumberville, PA

Thom was gracious from the first messages we exchanged. We worked together through the programmatic details for the celebration of life I was planning for my late father and we were able to realize the vision! He was so accommodating of our song choices and choreography based on the other elements of the event and the venue. Thank you for a memorable performance! Every guest has commented on how beautiful it was. I recommend Thom without reservation.

THANK YOU so much for this really kind review, Mariel! I was honestly moved by the amazing eulogies for your father, and I confess that it was a little difficult for me to conclude with a performance of “The Parting Glass” after listening to four of his friends sing that lovely song’s verses beforehand! Thank you for entrusting me with this great privilege! May your father’s memory be a blessing. ????????????

Club Event•Reviewed on January 23, 2023•From Wilmington, DE

Thom was amazing! So easy to work with and such a joy to chat with! Not only is he talented, but he was also very knowledgeable about the history surrounding our event (Robert Burns), and was able to provide our guests with some fun facts! Our event overlapped the Eagles playoff game, and Tom even entertained the diehard fans with the Eagles fight song! Can’t wait to work with him again in the future!!

Thank you SO MUCH for this lovely review, Dana! I totally enjoyed not only performing for all of you, but also just being with you! The enthusiasm, happiness, and sense of fun were wonderful. Thank you for having me, and I hope we’ll all see each other again soon!

Celebration•Reviewed on November 19, 2022•From Absecon, NJ

After almost 45v years of hiring pipers for family events for a very Scottish family, the Happy Bagpiper was by far the finest we have hired. The of the most organized, talented musicians I have ever encountered.

Thank you so much for this amazing review, Gordon!

Review by Megan M.

Wedding•Reviewed on March 24, 2019•From Philadelphia, PA

Talented, detail oriented, and utterly charming. Thom is the ideal bagpiper for your wedding! I was juggling several last-minute plans for our big day and did not check in with Thom about song selection or logistics until the week before the event. Good thing I had him! He recommended perfect song selections for our processessional And recessional, I didn’t need to do any additional research. One conversation over the phone and he had the logistics down. He arrived early, was polished, articulate, and so kind. I’m already thinking of reasons to hire him again because it was such a rewarding experience. Thom, you made our wedding day so special!! -Megan & Ted, Philly
