Piper Hudson was the absolute hit of the party. We will request him again for our next occasion.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 16, 2012•From Nags Head, NC

He was very much on time and ready to go well before the time he was scheduled to play. He surprised my groom and family by coming down to the beach and playing and then playing for some at our cocktail hour. It was an awesome day and he put the icing on the cake for our ceremony! Thank you so much...would highly recommend him.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 1, 2012•From Asheville, NC

Awesome bagpiper! J.V. made a huge impact with our guests when he walked into our wedding reception in full-dress playing "Scotland the Brave". He plays an incredibly well tuned bagpipe (including some pretty difficult tunes) and has the most beautiful Scottish attire. We hired J.V. to play background music before our wedding and to do a few songs during our reception, and not only was the music outstanding, but J.V. is such a wonderful guy! So easy to work with, and just a easy-going, laid-back person. We would recommend him 100% to anyone who is looking for a truly professional bagpiper. Thanks so much, J.V.!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 10, 2011•From Chapel Hill, NC

J.V. was a lovely addition to our wedding ceremony. We had several people who attended who are let's just say very aware of what good pipes are and they were all extremely pleased. My husband and I were as well and we'd hire him again in a heartbeat. J.V. was our sole musician for the ceremony and he had great suggestions. He got back to me right away which is sort of needed when you're having to prepare and take care of endless details for an event. Thank you J.V. for your professionalism and experience!

Church Service•Reviewed on May 30, 2011•From Durham, NC

JV stayed in touch through this whole process. Accomodated our uniform request and even attended rehearsal the Thursday before the scheduled set. His uniform was polished and sharp and he really helped create the moment we hired him for! THANKS J.V. for making the Memorial Day Tribute...Memorable!

Church Service•Reviewed on May 27, 2011•From Durham, NC

Mr. Hudson was fantastic. He did a memorial service for my mother and we could not have asked for a better performer and person. Very professional and personable. After the service he offered to play more music than we had initially asked for. I would absolutely use Mr. Hudson again. He was awesome!!!

Funeral•Reviewed on February 26, 2011•From Chapel Hill, NC

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 Event•Reviewed on January 8, 2011•From 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 Ceremony•Reviewed on November 1, 2010•From 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!
