Review by Michele M.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 20, 2019•From Rockville, MD

Thank you Gigmasters for making this so easy. Every performer who responded looked great. Tim Carey stepped in and up. He rocked the party! Our friend Bonnie was absolutely thrilled by the surprise. It took a fun birthday gathering at Clyde's Tower Oaks to the next level. Tim could not have been more professional or warm. Thanks again Tim!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 2, 2018•From Elkridge, MD

Tim Carey performed at our wedding ceremony on 9/22/18 and we couldn't have been happier with his performance. He played outside the church as guests arrived, as well as during the wedding processional and recessional inside the church. His playing was just the perfect touch to our day and made it uniquely ours. We received so many comments about how wonderful the music was. He was completely professional, punctual, and so talented - he even brought the whole church to tears. I am so happy we booked Tim Carey and would recommended him to anyone!

Commitment Ceremony•Reviewed on September 8, 2018•From Falls Church, VA

Tim was extremely professional and accommodating for my brother’s interment ceremony. His piping was impeccable and the music he played was perfectly suited to the ceremony. It was immediately obvious that he has played at a host of funeral services. I am certain that his skills and many years of performing at a wide range of venues make him the perfect choice for a memorable performance.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 8, 2018•From Upper Marlboro, MD

The bagpipe is an extremely difficult instrument to play and Tim just went above and beyond to make our wedding a success blending Scottish heritage (mine) with my wife's culture (Rwandan dancers). I am a musician myself (guitar for 43 years) and can easily spot those who "have it" and those who don't. Tim definitely does!!

Tim was fantastic! We had a last minute request for bagpipes, and he was able to fill it seamlessly. Very easy to work with and very talented. Definitely choose Tim.

Punctual, talented, accommodating. Our family & church members were very pleased. Tim played outside the church under a tree while everyone came in. Then played Amazing Grace at end of service.. We are very greatful.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 1, 2017•From Silver Spring, MD

Tim is talented and professional. He worked with us to fulfill our wants for our ceremony. Enjoyed having him be a part of our wedding! My now husband thought bagpipes were only for funerals. Boy was he wrong!

Tim was very easy to talk to and work with. He suggestioned songs to play. And he continued playing until we told him we were done. Very kind.

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on November 21, 2016•From Alexandria, VA

Tim is just terrific! I've heard some really horrible pipers in my time & I was greatly relieved that Tim isn't one of them! Highly expert & professional. I would not hesitate to recommend Tim to anyone who needs a piper to liven up any event!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on August 21, 2016•From Edgewater, MD

Tim was fantastic. He was very flexible in integrating into the overall program and the walk to the pier with him playing was fantastic. He was friendly, thoughtful, and very talented. I would recommend him to anyone!

Funeral•Reviewed on August 16, 2016•From Weyers Cave, VA

Professionalism, talent, garb.....all lent to a lasting positive and very special memory of my husband's memorial service. Just wish I could have gotten to know Tim better by spending more time together.

Funeral•Reviewed on June 4, 2016•From Arlington, VA

Tim Carey delivered everything he said he would. He was professional, knowledgeable, helpful, prompt, and courteous. In thinking about the "value" received for dollars spent, I would say $350.00 was a lot of money to pipe one song (Amazing Grace) which took about 3-4 minutes at the most.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on May 30, 2016•From Leesburg, VA

I could not have ask for more. Very professional, very accommodating, the people were moved by the memorial service and Tim contributed greatly to the service. Highly recommend him.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on August 16, 2015•From Greencastle, PA

Tim played Flower of Scotland, Amazing Grace, and Scotland the Brave. All beautiful and flawless, and he processed and recessed with wonderful timing through a venue unfamiliar to him. Absolutely everything we'd hoped for.
