FuneralReviewed on July 2, 2024From Emmitsburg, MD

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.

Robert did a wonderful job. His music truly enhance our pre and post wedding ceremony! He was very easy to work with and very accommodating. We would definitely use him for our remaining daughter’s weddings!

Memorial Day PartyReviewed on June 19, 2024From Washington, DC

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 CeremonyReviewed on April 21, 2013From Purcellville, VA

Robert was a fantastic addition to our wedding, and added a unique element that will absolutely be remembered by the attendees. He was a pleasure to work with before the event, played the bagpipes amazingly well (a friend is a series bagpiper and he noted that Robert was very talented), and accommodated music and picture requests thus making sure everyone was thrilled. I would 100% recommend Robert for any bagpipe events! = Andy B.

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!

Mr. Mitchell was fantastic to work with and wonderful to have as a part of our Wedding Day. We would highly recommend him! His communication beforehand was top notch as we planned out our ceremony / evening and his playing was incredible. We couldn’t have been happier!

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on November 12, 2023From Lewes, DE

Robert is a professional. He listened to what we wanted and made some suggestions that were far better than our original plan. He demonstrated flexibility as the event went on. On his own initiative, he worked with the sound engineer for the large band, that would be playing later in the evening, to diffuse the point source of his bagpipe so that the sound was more even for all of the guests to enjoy. We look forward to engaging him another time.

FuneralReviewed on July 11, 2022From Frederick, MD

Robert was a delight to work with, and his talent as a musician are first rate. He played everything we asked, and his music was a beautiful accompaniment to my mothers services. Robert had a long day with us, and I am embarrassed I didn’t get a chance to tell him how much I, and everyone in attendance, loved his music. We couldn’t have asked for a better bagpiper, a better human at the service. Thank you Robert.

Robert Mitchell did an outstanding job from booking to performing at my uncle's memorial at Arlington National Cematary. It was a very moving performance and made the service very memorable. Thank you

FuneralReviewed on May 14, 2023From Orange, VA

Robert Mitchell has given my family a priceless gift. At the end of my Dad's celebration of life, his rendition of Amazing Grace brought tears to our eyes and filled our hearts with joy. He played another piece or two as people came out of the church, and the entire crowd was mesmerized. Thank you, thank you, Mr. Mitchell!!

FuneralReviewed on June 4, 2022From Quantico, VA

Robert did an awesome job at my father's funeral. His choice of music was spot on and he coordinated with the staff at Quantico to ensure the whole event came off perfectly. Thanks Robert!

CelebrationReviewed on December 2, 2021From Leesburg, VA

He was very professional, and played beautifully for our moms funeral, everyone was satisfied with his performance. It was definitely shorter then I expected. I thought he would’ve played a little longer of amazing grace, but its fine no big deal. He definitely gave a great experience to honor our mom!

WeddingReviewed on October 14, 2007From West Friendship, MD

Roberts music was the perfect touch to a perfect day. Both the highland pipes solo and the trio performing together was awesome. He worked with us and our ceremony plans and provided excellent ideas and professional input. We both highly recommend Robert and his trio!!

Robert is a very nice man who made a point of coming early to get the lay of the land and practice, he was very professional.

Thank you for your Review. When a bagpiper arrives at a dinner, wedding, or even a funeral it is necessary to play the instrument for a few minutes beforehand to stabilize the 4 reeds. Each reed will have its own temperature and moisture level needed for optimum sound. This blowing in period is necessary for the very best sound and is often mistaken for "practice". I practice daily at home, and always tune my instrument in order to deliver the very best sound possible. Robert Mitchell

Robert Mitchell did a great job! He is very talented with the playing of his Pipes and enjoys sharing his heritge with others and demonstrates it beautifully through his music. I would love to have him back and or recommend him to someone else.
