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

It was great to have Mr. Mitchell play at my father's funeral. The pipes were subtle but totally audible, and many people commented that they were a nice touch to a beautiful service. Thank you.

Mr. Mitchell added so much to our ceremony and reception. He was very prompt and very professional. His previous reveiws were very accurate in portraying him as the Best and he lived up to that. If you are looking for a piper whether for a few tunes to add an atmosphere or are looking to plan a traditional scottish wedding, look no farther. You will not be disappointed.

Mr. Mitchell was highly professional and very friendly. He is extremely talented. He is very cooperative and responsive to client's questions and requests. If I had more than 4 children, and this wedding had not been the 4th, I would have him back for next wedding. Bill King

Robert Mitchell was the best choice for this event. He was extremely professional, a gentleman and an excellent bagpiper. He wanted our special day to be perfect so he met our needs by being so flexible with playing time becuase our needs varied so much. His addition to our wedding added such a unique and personal touch to the beginning of our new life together. I will never forget the bagpipes playing "Amazing Grace" when I walked up to the church. If you need a bagpiper for any event, this is your guy!

:

Robert did an Excellent job playing the bagpipes and the Border pipes for my friends memorial service. The Border pipes are perfect indoors. Everyone could hear the music, yet it was not too loud in the chapel.

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.

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!!

We had many guests are at our wedding and reception that know the sound of a good bagpiper and all were pleased! Hw was professional, accomodating, very talented and very entertaining. We would recommend him for any occasion.

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.

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

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.

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.

Bob was a joy to have. Our crowd was totally taken with the border pipes he used for our indoor "Celebration of Life" ceremony for my Mom. For such a wonderful and classy performer it was really nice of him to take such a small gig like our gathering, but his presence there (which was Mom's heart's desire to have pipes) made all the difference! He was even patient enough to show my 4-year-old daughter how they worked. If he'll travel to your event, and he travels far, he's the piper you want.

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.

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.

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.
