Private Party•Reviewed on December 21, 2025•From Salisbury, MD

What a wonderful experience! Bob was lovely to work with, and his music was beautiful, got the party going very quickly! Guests were delighted that he stopped to chat about the tunes and explain the two sets of bagpipes he brought with him. We hope to see Bob again and unreservedly recommend him.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 7, 2025•From Laurel, MD

What a talented professional! Mr Mitchell was an integral part of a recent surprise birthday party. The booking process was very easy and he was most accommodating of all our wishes. Obviously gifted, Mr Mitchell delivered a superb and memorable performance. His winsome personality captured the emotion of his repertoire and left all our guests singing his praises. I highly recommend Mr Robert Mitchell for your bagpiper needs. We would award him ???????????? if that were possible!

Robert was wonderful to work with and on short notice. He was prompt and easy to communicate with. His performances before and after the service was just right and didn’t take away from the other parts to the service. His performance was lovely and we would highly recommend him.

Couldn’t be happier with Robert’s performance at my sister’s funeral. He knew exactly what to do. Everyone said what a lovely touch the bagpiper was to the service and how good he was.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 5, 2025•From Washington, DC

Bob was exceptional for my husband's surprise birthday party. He made the night so special with the mix of the highland pipes and small pipes, sprinkled in a touch of humor and history of the bagpipes. It made for a memorable evening. Highly recommend Bob for any event.

Funeral•Reviewed on March 20, 2025•From Arlington, VA

I don't think I could recommend Robert enough! We were from out of town and trying to hire a piper for my Father in law's memorial at Arlington and Robert was absolutely perfect for the event. From understanding the proper procedures of the event to being able to recommend appropriate music for the time periods that were allowed -- he was exactly what we needed. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Funeral•Reviewed on February 3, 2025•From Herndon, VA

Bob was the perfect addition to my dear friend’s funeral. His talent and professionalism were evident from the start, and his accommodating nature made the entire process seamless. Despite the solemn occasion, his cheerful demeanor brought comfort to everyone in attendance. The family was incredibly appreciative, and guests are still talking about how moving and memorable his performance was. His bagpiping added a truly special and meaningful touch, honoring our loved one in the most beautiful way. I highly recommend Bob!

It had ALWAYS been the request of my mother to be 'piped to her grave'. When it eventually came time to honor her wish, the web site made it easy to find Robert. He, in turn, made her final rite of passage calming and beautiful - just as she had wished it to be. THANK YOU!!!!

Robert Mitchell was excellent! Do not hesitate to use him. He is a great planner, knowledgeable, eager to make sure everybody's on the same page. He also drove an exceptionally long way to get to us and we were blessed by his music. Thank you!

Phenomenal performer and solidly fantastic recommendations for pieces to play for our grandparents internment service. Highly recommend for services at Arlington National Cemetary. He knew the protocols better than we did :) Thank you, Bob!

Robert reached out beforehand to coordinate with family on final arrangements. Despite a small last minute change in the program, Robert coordinated with Funeral Director to complete his participation. Great performance. Family was very appreciative. Highly recommended.

Robert was phenomenal! Played Scotland the Brave, US Air Force song, and quick step march for official party at a military ceremony. Looked sharp, executed timely, and performed in a high ops tempo environment.Would absolutely hire again!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 26, 2024•From Washington, DC

We loved having Bob at our wedding. He was so easy to work with and accommodating. It was so special having the small pipes at our event as it’s a tradition in my family. Highly recommend!

:

Usually, I play the Highland bagpipes for outdoor ceremonies, but being completely surrounded by the colonial buildings demanded a more gentle sound. The small pipes were the perfect at this venue.

Robert was easy to communicate throughout the planning and execution of the service. He is a very talented man who takes pride in his playing!

Thank you for the opportunity to play at St. Anthony's Shrine and the Grotto of Elizabeth of Seton. It was surreal. I felt like I was playing in the Largest Shrine in the World under the wide open skies.
