JV was a wonderful addition to my daughter's wedding! He was punctual for both reahearsal and day of wedding. He was extremely personable and his experience with the bag pipes was outstanding. I would recommend JV Hudson for your wedding or any other occasion that you may need.

Having Jerry play at our fathers memorial service was wonderful. I have to admit that parts of the ceremony were a blur because of the emotions at such an event, but Jerry's presence was a great addition and everyone there commented on it. Jerry is not only a consummate professional, showing up early and staying late, but he was there in spirit was well. He made sure we were comfortable/happy with what he was going to be playing without 'overburdening' the family at a difficult time. I would gladly recommend his services without reservation Thank you Jerry, Sean

Community EventReviewed on January 8, 2011From Wake Forest, NC

We can not thank Mr. Hudson enough for his performance and overall friendliness. He made our neighborhood New Years First Footing a tremendous success. His personality and ability to fit in like family was super. Our daughter published a short video on u tube and we have had over 145 hits on it. We hope he will be available to join us next year and to become a part of our traditon of celebrating this Scottish celebration. Thank you to Gigmasters for helping us find Mr. Hudson.... Doris, Charlie Sheen and Family PS Several of the adults had to leave the room for the second part....The tears were flowing. His performance brought back memories. He is great!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 1, 2010From Madison, NC

He was happy to work with changes to our song list right up until about a day before the event. He also paid close attention to matching his outfit to the event parameters. J.V. showed up well before the event and was more than happy to do everything we asked him to. Our choir director (ex local high-school band leader) commented on J.V.'s skill level and has asked me how to get in touch with him for other events. He must have done an excellent job because our choir director is VERY picky about his music. Overall, I was really impressed with everything J.V. did for us. James

JV was fabulous! He truly made our wedding ceremony unique & special! He arrived early, and is very professional and friendly to work with. He was prompt in returning phone calls or emails, and willing to meet in person as well. He is just great overall, and we are so thankful that we found him!

Church ServiceReviewed on February 22, 2010From Winston Salem, NC

Mr. Hudson was amply early, so I had zero concerns about whether he'd make it, coming some distance. He was prompt and clear in his communications prior to the event, and our somewhat complex event came off perfectly. I would gladly use him again. Bravo!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on November 1, 2009From Raleigh, NC

JV was outstanding in every respect. Before the wedding day he met with us to discuss the plans, made very helpful suggestions, and made an extra trip to let us hear him in the space before the rehearsal. He has a kind, humorous, relaxing, assuring way about him. JV played absolutely beautifully, and even stayed after the wedding to play as the couple left the church (which I thought was particularly kind as they were delayed leaving). His music added so much to the ceremony!! I heartily recommend JV.

FuneralReviewed on September 5, 2009From Culpeper, VA

Mr. Hudson did very well for my Mother's graveside service. He came a long way despite short notice handled our special situation very well. His choice of music was very appropriate for the situation. We thank him very much!

WeddingReviewed on May 5, 2009From Norfolk, VA

He was amazing. He was a surprise for my husband on our wedding day. My husband love his music. If I could go higher on his talent score I would have. I left the music choice up to J.V and they where all perfect. I am so thankful for him playing at our reception. He was only one of the few vendors who I was happy with afterwords. I will have him play again when we need a bagpiper! Thanks J.V.

FuneralReviewed on April 6, 2009From Chapel Hill, NC

Mr. Hudson's bagpipes greeted our guests at my husband's mother's funeral. The sound was beautiful and entirely appropriate for the occasion. Mr. Hudson's Amazing Grace was as it should be played. Thank you for making her day special.

We had a great experience with JV. He was able to be flexible with our shifting schedule, he was responsive to our various musical requests and he was always polite and professional. All in all, he was a great addition to our event and we would be delighted to use him again.

Mr. Hudson is extremely talented. The Bagpipes were absolutely beautiful at my wedding. He was professional and arrived at the ceremony without me even having to think about the details. His playlist is expansive and all the songs are breathtaking. Guests were WOWed. In the future, if a friend is in need of Bagpipes, I am going to recommend Mr. Hudson hands down! J.V., thank you so much for playing at my wedding.
