Review by Kathleen R.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 10, 2018•From Alpharetta, GA

Prior to our daughter’s wedding Tom was very kind and accomadating. We agreed on the time he was to start playing which was to be 6pm sharp when most of our guests would be arriving. At 6pm Tom was not there.. arrived 10 min late then had to use the restroom ! Didn’t start playing until after the majority of our guests had already arrived! He was to set the stage for the theme of the Celtic wedding and that didn’t happen ..we were very dissapointed!!

Kathleen, I'm very sorry you were disappointed with my services. The storms that day had traffic snarled badly and caused me to be late. I didn't have your cell number to update you on my problems. I did play outside the venue for 45 minutes as people continued to arrive, even through some heavy showers. The procession into the dinner seemed to go off without a hitch. Regardless, I am very unaccustomed to disappointing a client and I offer my sincere apologies.

My overall experience with Tom has been incredible. He is very professional and tailored to my very specific requests of playing on a boat off the lakeshore of our wedding venue. Through potential rain and thunderstorms, Tom stuck it out for us and it truly made my day! Tom has incredible talent and looked very professional. I’d gladly use and refer Tom for any occasion! Very memorable experience.

Tom was phenomenal to work with. He was responsive in communication and an outstanding musician! He brought so much sentiment to the wedding ceremony. I'm so glad he could be part of the special day and I hope we get to work together in the future. Thank you!!

I have already filled this out...please don't keep sending me this form...if so, I will block your emails and instead of possible using you again, you will never hear from me thank you

Mr. Stewart, I'm sorry you received the feedback form too many times, apparently it did not record your initial response. This comes from the Gigmasters Website and not me. More importantly, I am sorry that you were less than thrilled with my performance. I arrived early, and we discussed changes in plans due to the weather. I played as your guests arrived and as prelude music in the location that your Wedding planner prescribed, despite the rain. And I tried to check in with you at the end of my performance without intruding on the start of the ceremony. I would appreciate any feedback regarding my performance as my goal is to achieve all 5's on my reviews. -

Funeral•Reviewed on November 19, 2016•From Atlanta, GA

Our 91 year old mom had requested a bagpipe player at her memorial service and I selected Tom. The arrangements with Tom went very smoothly, he knew just how to handle everything. The performance was wonderful--the walk over the hill with Amazing Grace fading in the distance was truly beautiful. Everyone in attendance thought the ceremony was beautiful and the bagpipe performance was an integral part. I can't recommend Tom highly enough. I would have to say that most would have an infrequent need for a bagpipe player, but if I did need one, Tom is definitely the person I would call. Very satisfied!!!

Funeral•Reviewed on August 29, 2016•From Atlanta, GA

I was quite pleased with Tom's lovely performance. As my husband's mother was from Scotland, the pipes were especially appropriate for his service. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed the added effect.

Tom did a fantastic job of helping us pay tribute to the Fallen Officers of Georgia at our recent event. He was on time, professional, pleasant and a great bagpipe player. Highly recommend him to anyone!

Tom was great. He was able to accommodate a short timeframe.He was very professional and sensitive to the situation. He was a great addition to the ceremony and in honoring my grandfather's wishes.

As a performer, Tom played my dads funeral and did an amazing job. Numerous people commented on how beautiful it was and how it made the funeral a little extra special. Tom answered phone calls and text messages in regards to planning the event and was courteous and respectful of my dads wishes! I highly, highly recommend Tom. Can't say enough good things about him.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 22, 2016•From Atlanta, GA

Tom was fantastic, he led me (the groom) down the aisle and then led my Bride and I back once we were married. I felt like I was back home in Scotland when I heard him play. 5 stars.

Review by Christine M.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 19, 2016•From Cumming, GA

Absolutely loved the music! Sounded beautiful, a lot of the guests complimented Tom and our choice of music. The only complaint we can make is that we wanted more. Maybe we misunderstood, but we thought he was going to play for most of the time he was there, we had hoped that a few more pieces would be played. Aside from that, we loved the performance and the atmosphere it created. Thanks so much!

Christine, thank you for your kind words. I'm sorry to have fallen short of the mark on your special requests. I played a good bit before the ceremony and chatted with many guests who approached. Between the rain just before the ceremony, the unexpected heat of the day, and conflicting information from the venue operators, I thought it best to not continue playing. I apologize for not checking with you on that. I hope the rest of the day was wonderful and you are settling in to your new life. Cheers, Tom

Tom's performance lent the day's proceedings a touch loving melancholy. It was my Mom's favorite song and it sounded beautiful. All of her family agreed it was very important to honor Mary Lynn's request. Thanks so much for responding on such short notice. Tom Eberhart
