Review by Karen G.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 8, 2010•From Morristown, NJ

A wonderful addition to my daughter's wedding. Darius seemed to play all of the right songs and appeared not to mind the three year old ring bearer who was pretty fascinated with how the pipes worked. When my daughter walked out the church door and heard the pipes playing, she threw back her head and laughed with joy.

Darius was truly a pleasure to work with prior to our event. The day of our wedding, he was punctual, professional and his performance was moving and delightful. We would highly recommend him to play for any event and would welcome the opportunity to have him play for us again in the future. Thank you, Darius!! Emily and Rob & Family

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on May 24, 2010•From Westport, CT

Bagpipes For All Occasions was wonderful playing for my daughter's wedding. Darius is a very talented musician in addition to being very friendly and personalable the 3 times we talked on the phone to make arrangements. He played the full hour (as agreed), wore a beautifuk kilt and marched while he played throughout the cocktail hour. I highly recommend Darius for any function needing a bagpiper.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 2, 2010•From New York City, NY

we were tremendously satisfied with Darius. He was very accommodating,and kept in touched with us several times before our event to make sure we were confident with his performance. I would strongly recommend him to one and all. Our Church paster asked for all his information because he was extremely impressed with him

Funeral•Reviewed on April 4, 2010•From Mountain Lakes, NJ

Everything about this contract was outstanding, beginning with his timely response to our initial inquiry. He arrived early and came well prepared, including very neat authentic costuming. The musical selections were appropriate for this memorial service and were presented with dignity and respect.

Funeral•Reviewed on March 28, 2010•From Basking Ridge, NJ

Darius was the perfect bagpiper. He was extremely accommodating and flexible. We were planning a service for my brother from South Carolina that was to be held in NJ and there were a lot of variables. Darius just went with the flow so to speak and stayed to play during our luncheon reception with his various instruments. I can't recommend him too highly! He was very talented and very flexible with all of our long distant plans. He was at the church early practicing and stayed way beyond what we had originally agreed upon. He is the best, and I would recommend him highly!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on December 6, 2009•From Bellport, NY

All of our guests at my father's 80th birthday party enjoyed Darius's playing the bagpipes and the other instruments. He took requests and was very personable with all the guests. He shared some great ideas with us during the party. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend him to other people who would like to hire a bagpiper. Deirdre Kozyrski

Wedding•Reviewed on October 11, 2009•From Poughkeepsie, NY

We hired Darius Kaufmann as the bagpiper for my daughter's wedding. He was friendly, professional and punctual. He played the bagpipes before and after the ceremony at the church. He also performed 3 solos on the Irish Whistle during the ceremony. This added a special touch to our day. He is very talented and we rate him as a "10". We highly recommend him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 8, 2009•From Yonkers, NY

Darius was excellant and he played a number of very interesting instruments. Young and old loved him. I highly recommend him, on time and a really great experience.

Review by Pete P.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 5, 2009•From Warminster, PA

Darius performed at our wedding. He was wonderful. He positioned himself appropriately so that he blended and enhanced but did not interfere with the focus of the ceremony. The music was beautiful and we received many compliments from our guests. I have already recommended him to another couple who are planning their wedding and will continue to do so.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 21, 2009•From Lincoln, RI

Darius was wonderful. The pre-wedding communication was great, he was careful to know what we wanted. It was lovely to have the bagpipes at the beginning and conclusion of the wedding ceremony and then have the tin whistle (like a flute) during the ceremony. I highly recommend him. Also , despite the long trip from NY to Rhode Island the fee was reasonable

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 18, 2009•From Morristown, NJ

Quite honestly Darius Kaufman is one of the most talented artists I've ever met and I come from a musical family so this is indeed saying a lot. He couldn't have been lovlier or more accomodating and his musical talent was just so superior. His presence added so much to our ceremony and we feel so lucky to have found him.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 21, 2009•From Waltham, MA

Darius Kaufmann added such a wonderful touch to our day. It was a little touch of elegance and class. Darius was a true proffesional from setting up everything ahead of time to selecting songs. The compliments that we received from our family and friends excellent about his performance if you are thinking of hiring a bagpiper we would recomend Bagpipes For All Occasions you can't go wrong

Wedding•Reviewed on September 8, 2009•From Cambridge, MA

Darius "piped" our guests from the church to reception site - what a treat. Our guests were surprised (as we hoped they would be) and delighted by his playing.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 2, 2009•From Northfield, MA

Darius was absolutely amazing. He accomodated special requests, played beautifully and joined with our other musicians to perform for our dancing portion (this was above and beyond what he had been hired to do). I would highly recommend Darius to anyone looking for a professional who really works with you to meet your needs. Thanks Darius for making our wedding day extra special.
