My husband was a curler and loved bagpipes, and I was looking for a special way to honor him and entertain our guests during the memorial service. Not only did Thom tailor the music and parade to my specification, he made sure I knew that his mini-pipe band was ready to perform “rain or shine”, and they were extensively experienced in competition and parading. I felt supremely confident that I had hired the right person for what was a difficult day, and was grateful for his professionalism. I would never hesitate to call Thom again, hopefully for happier circumstances next time.

Thom was fantastic throughout the whole process. Quick to respond, organized and very professional! I reached out about 10 months before our wedding to book, Thom and I discussed details during that time. A few weeks before the event, Thom reached out to me and confirmed our details. Of all the vendors I worked with during our wedding planning process, Thom was definitely one of the easiest! It was awesome having someone as detail oriented as I am to work with. His music was beautiful! Compliments are still coming in from friends and family who loved his touch. Thank you Thom for making our day even more special!

Thom was incredible. Everyone at my wedding complimented us on his performance and appereance. My wife and I were so impressed with his music and his range of songs. He was very personable and coordinating his parts of the ceremony went extremely smooth. After the ceremony he took time out of his day to chat with the mother of the bride and was so kind and pleasant with her. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a bagpiper and have already passed on his information. I can not thank him enough for his part in my wife’s fairy tale wedding.

Thom was amazing! His booking was made easy through gigmasters. Once Thom strolled up our walkway bagpipes and all, we were impressed. He’s a superb player with a very wide range of material. Thom is very friendly, accommodating and truly put our St. Patrick’s Day party over the top! Thanks Thom & Gigmasters!

Thom was great. He played on the steps of the church as guests arrived at our wedding. Thom's bagpipes marked the start of a very special day. My bride said that hearing the bagpipes as she arrived to the church made her arrival extra special. Thom was also incredibly easy to work with. With everything that has to happen at a wedding, it was great that Thom was self-sufficient. He showed up on time, started to play, and required no hand holding. We would absolutely recommend Thom to anyone who wants to add the extra special touch that comes with the bagpipes.

Celebration•Reviewed on July 20, 2021•From Malvern, PA

Thom communicated with us several times when we hired him in May. He made sure he understood the event, the venue and what we needed. We touched base a couple of days before our parents' Life Celebration on the final details. He showed up early and was dressed appropriately in costume. He was extremely pleasant and played for 20 minutes. His music was appropriate for the occasion and he was very professional. A nice touch was that he slowly walked away while playing the last piece so it effectively faded away and everyone knew it was time for the service. I would definitely recommend him.

Thanks for the feedback, Skip. I know that you meant to give me an overall rating of 5, but that like others of my beloved clients, your fingers fell victim to The Bash’s truly horrible “slider” star rating device! Anyone with adult fingers has a VERY hard time using this system, so no hard feelings! I’ve complained to The Bash about this system several times, but I guess their programmer thinks it’s just fine...???? Anyway, thanks for the feedback and for the opportunity to perform for your clients! -Thom

Thom the Happy Bagpiper was awesome! He was super accommodating to our virtual employee event. He showed up on time and in full garb. Our employees were very intrigued with his story and his love of bagpiping. I would highly recommend Thom the Happy Bagpiper to anyone and would hire him again for the next opportunity.

Thom was accommodating, friendly, warm, punctual, and lots of fun. He played for my mom's 96th birthday, and she loved it! In making arrangements, he followed up immediately and was very professional. Plus, he is good!

Superb piper. Arrived on time. Stayed throughout the service. Worked with me on tunes and superbly played them during the committal service. Professional. Accommodating. Hope to call on Thom for future and, it is to be hoped, more joyous event(s).

Thom Moore and the happy bagpiper enhanced an already great experience??

Review by Dave B.

Funeral•Reviewed on February 16, 2020•From Mantua, NJ

Thom was the perfect addition to our gathering. He was professional, personable, and clearly has a passion for playing the pipes. Thom also spent some time with us sharing some history of the bagpipes and his first hand knowledge of Scotland and the piping culture. We’re looking forward to Thom playing at another family event in March!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 10, 2020•From Princeton, NJ

Thom Moore was a BIG HIT at our birthday cocktail party and dinner. Talent and charm in spades!! A masterful piper, Thom looked splendid and his music was absolutely beautiful. Thom was so easy to work with and coordinated seamlessly with both the host family and venue management. He came up with a great scheme to surprise everyone and pipe us in to dinner. The guest of honor and his over 40 friends and family were thrilled. It set the tone for the event to be both fun and elegant. I would recommend Thom in a nanosecond!
