Review by Steven T.

Private Party•Reviewed on September 22, 2007•From Baltimore, MD

Robert Mitchel MADE my event! There were over 150 people in attendance and I am sure they all remarked positively on his skill. He was punctual, courteous and most of all had a great time being there. I truly don't think another bagpiper would have done nearly as well as Robert. I would highly recommend him to anyone for an event.

Very knowledgable. Helped me to figure out what I really wanted. Best part is never had to worry, in fact I forgot all about him until I showed up and heard him playing at the church...I started my big day with a huge smile because of him.

Mr. Bob Mitchell was a delight from the moment he arrived. Both he and his fidler arrived early and tuned their instruments so that everything began right on time, and at the appointed hour. He and his friend, a fidler, were very professional and very congenial and easy to work with. They accommodated the requests of my doctors to play various songs and even a special Happy Birthday to one of the doctors for his 50th birthday which happened to be the very night of our Christmas party. Bob dressed in a kilt which was lovely, he looked the part for our Scottish party and he also demonstrated that he has great talent with the bagpipes. I was thrilled that the high pipes he used to pipe in the food were just as lovely as the low pipes which played Highland Music un the background to the delight of our many guests. I would definitely recommend Bob to my friends or anyone who needed a great bagpiper! He is welcome at Foxhall Castle anytime! He contributed to the wonderful time had by all.

Country Club Event•Reviewed on May 16, 2006•From Sparrows Point, MD

Robert did an excellent job at my Country Club event and was a big hit with all the members who attended. I would certainly recommend him to family and friends and will use him again myself if the opportunity arises. He was extremely professional and accommodating and I was completely satisfied with his performance. He is a very talented bag pipe player. Please pass on my compliments. Thanks.

Bob was absolutely perfect for our firm's happy hour. I've been racking my brain trying to come up with other events for which i can hire Bob. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to hire the best!

I contacted Robert Mitchell though Gigmasters and he responsed very quickly. He sent a sample of his music and I contracted with him to play at our St. Patrick's Day happy hour. He brought a fiddle player and cellist with him and they played a variety of tunes, from lively to soulful, fitting the bill perfectly. The musicians were all wonderful and everyone at our party enjoyed them immensely. If the luck of the Irish holds, we have started a tradition and will be able to have them back again next year! I could not have been happier or more satisfied with the whole experience.

Robert was wonderful, plain and simple. His ideas really added to the wedding and for some it was their favorite part.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 14, 2007•From Arlington, VA

Robert Mitchell did a fantastic job playing at our wedding. Robert played the processional and recessional musical pieces and the border pipes he choose to play were perfect for our indoor wedding. We are so glad we choose Robert - many thanks!!! Claire and Justin

Wedding•Reviewed on June 3, 2006•From Fort Worth, TX

Bob was great and very personable too. We had a glitch about six weeks before the wedding when we lost our minister. The new one we got couldn't accommodate our time because of another wedding. Bob was wary because he had a wedding after ours. We were able to work it out to everyone's satisfaction because he was willing to be flexible. The music was wonderful. He sent me the names of pieces so I could include that information in the wedding program. We spoke for a bit right before he left and it turns out that we had seen him perform with a certain Celtic band. We know many of the same people in the Celtic music world. I would highly reccommend him.

Wedding•Reviewed on November 10, 2007•From Afton, VA

While Robert was easy to work with prior to the ceremony, he showed up 20 minutes late, missing the first half of the time he was supposed to be playing as a result of traffic. Upon request, he did return $100 of the final payment to compensate for missing part of his allotted time.

Being late to a wedding is inexcuseable. It should never happen, however, it did. It won't ever happen again.

Fantastic - Bob worked with me on very short notice, provided all the services I requested, and did so in a professional and unobtrusive manner. I was very pleased with his performance; he added a very pleasant touch to my wedding reception's ambiance.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 17, 2009•From Rehoboth Beach, DE

Mr. Mitchell played bagpipes at our wedding in Rehoboth Beach Delaware. He was on time, played excellently, and accommodated all of our requests. All of our guests commented on how nice it was to have a bagpipe player for the wedding procession and when leaving the church. I recommend him without reservation.

I was so pleased when several of my guests, who happen to be very harsh music critics, complimented on how good Robert was. I can't thank him enough for the wonderful job he did.

Wedding•Reviewed on March 17, 2009•From Alexandria, VA

I unfortunately did not get to meet him in person as the bride, however I could not have been more pleased with his performance, professionalism and talent. He made my special day, most dramatically emotional and added the special something I was looking for. My (now) husband said when the doors opened, the piper began, it took the breath out of him. Thank you so much for everything and will highly recommened Bob Mitchell to others in the future. Having him made our wedding ceremony very special! Thank you! Katherine Mitchell PS- people kept asking if he was related to my husband's family. many, many thanks!
