Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 29, 2026•From Palatine, IL

The Internationals were So accomodating. I wanted a play list for a birthday party for my 90 year old mom, and they quickly sent a long list to choose. I also had them play outside in hot weather, and they had great attitudes and energy.. Wonderful performers, would definitely recommend!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on October 14, 2026•From Elk Grove Village, IL

What a great experience. James was amazing. Definitely the hit of the party. Not only was he good at his craft he was just one of the nicest guys. He mingled with all our guests and each commented on what a nice and friendly man. I would highly recommend considering James bagpipes for one of your events.

James was very open and receptive to any suggestions or requests that we had, but had the experience to offer ideas for the service. Would 100% recommend to anyone that needs his expertise. Thanks James.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 25, 2023•From Glenview, IL

Arkady is a very talented accordian player, who could take requests from attendees at the party to play polkas and other songs that were Polish, Slovenian, German, Italian, Irish and on and on. People had so much fun with laughter and tears as they had fun in the moment and remembered past times and loved ones. Arkady read the crowd well and supported their energy. It was a great time!

Funeral•Reviewed on February 25, 2023•From Winnetka, IL

James performed a bagpipe set at a memorial for our company founder. James is a real artist and pro. The attendees loved the tunes and the sound of bagpipes playing Amazing Grace. A very moving performance enjoyed by all.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on July 17, 2022•From Batavia, IL

Bagpiper James did a lovely job providing music before and after my husband’s memorial, and at the outdoor luncheon following the service. Our Scottish roots were nicely honored.

Igor was great!! He made our wedding truly memorable with his violin. All my guest raved over his performance. I can't thank you enough for making our day extra special.

Club Event•Reviewed on September 25, 2023•From Gurnee, IL

The purpose of having a bag piper there was for 'atmosphere'. Over the course of 60 minutes contracted, a generous estimate of the time played is maybe 15 minutes, which was disappointing.

Oktoberfest Party•Reviewed on October 17, 2021•From Chicago, IL

Arkady was awesome for my Oktoberfest. Tons of German music on both the Accordion and keyboard. But he can play pretty much anything. Guy was a blast
