Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 2, 2021•From Warwick, NY
What an amazing experience! We had a bunch of time/date changes and Kevin was very understanding and was able to fit us in at the last minute! Then it just kept getting better from there! He came in playing and there was a huge smile on everyone's face!! He was friendly and stood for pics and just made the whole afternoon better! We will be talking about him for years! I'm so happy! I cannot recommend him highly enough!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 13, 2019•From Butler, NJ
We hired Kevin for a wedding. He was punctual, played extremely well, reasonably priced, and was kind enough to take pictures with the bride, groom, and guests.
Kevin accommodated all of our needs. We will hire Kevin for any future bagpipe needs.
Simply, Kevin’s awesome!

Thank You kindly

Fantastic! He followed up when necessary, and was very thorough. He showed up on time, and played for the allotted time. Everyone had a kick out of it considering it was mostly a surprise :)

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 24, 2019•From Kerhonkson, NY
The music was beautiful but he was unprofessional. I hired him to play at the start/end of ceremony. He quoted me $275-4:00-4:30. When I spoke to him he said that $275 was his price/hour and he would charge me $200. My daughter heard him say it as we were on bluetooth. At the wedding my planner gave him $200. He was rude to her. He played 2 songs in my opinion, out of spite. The wedding did start late. I feel he could have played during the time I hired him. After the wedding we gave him the $75. I wasn't trying jip anyone. Both my daughter and I heard him say $200. In retrospect, I should have had that in writing. Nevertheless I paid $275 for 2 songs.
:
I said 275 from the start..When the planner gave me the check for 200
I gave it back,saying 275.I told her it was not her fault and there was a big mix up
So if I took 200 then went looking for the rest,it would be a mess I asked Nicky to go to someone and please get the rest of the money and then I would accept it.
Some asked if I took a credit card.which I don't I played like asked
As people were walking up the hill.the as people were walking down
I want rude to anyone.i was a bit up set because
It was on gigmasters form.i showed that to the wedding planner
I am sorry that you feel that way.Good luck anyway to you bot.
I played many more than 2 tunes.mist

We chose Kevin for my Mom's memorial luncheon. Kevin was on time and even early. He was dressed appropriately. He piped outside the restaurant for a period of time and then came in an played Amazing Grace in the room. I would definitely use Kevin again if needed.

He called to verify the memorial service because the time changed at the last minute. He arrived early and was extremely pleasant to work with. I am looking forward to working with him again if another class requires bagpiper for their Memorial Service.

Funeral•Reviewed on June 9, 2019•From Somers, NY
Kevin was very professional, talented and respectful. He offered his condolences and was appropriately in the background. Right before he left, however, he asked me to write a review on-line. I wished he hadn't done this as I was still grieving and crying. Just a little tip.

Kevin came in at the last minute to perform at a dear friends funeral. Did everything he could to accommodate this event with talent and professionalism of a bagpipe playing New York City firefighter. I hope Mr. Grace has a very long career as a piper, and will be able to honor his guests with his musical gift. Thank you sir ! Chris O Buckeye Lake OH.

Kevin "amazing" Grace lived up to his name. We chose him purely because of his reviews and proximity to our wedding venue. Kevin was on time, professional, friendly and followed our requests exactly as discussed by phone. We would highly recommend Kevin, without hesitation, to anyone looking for a bagpiper. His talent far exceeded our expectations. Thank you Kevin for making our special day even more spectacular!

Thank you very much.very nice people to deal with wish them Both the best of luck

Kevin "Amazing" Grace was terrific for our family gathering last weekend. Hios music was wonderful, he kept in touch as the date approached and arrived early and ready to play. We strongly recommend Kevin for any occasion that merits a highly skilled and talented bag piper! Thanks Kevin!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 23, 2019•From Vernon, NJ
Requested a receipt and have not yet gotten one. Arrived saying he was sick and may have had a health crisis the day before. Played only beginnings of songs to "greet" guests, then never finished the song- no continuous music. Arrived at 11:30- Played 12:15 to 1:15. Very tough to get him to play full songs... lots of quiet space. However, very personable and made a great suggestion for the ceremony that we so appreciated.
:
Wow I got there at 11..I sent the receipt as soon as I got home to Vermont
Don't know what she's talking about dirty joke.And I asked do you want me to pipe as guest arrived she said sure..then just piped away..real sorry she was mot happy..real sorry

Kevin bought a calming and very dignified presence to a very hard funeral. He is professional, courteous and understanding. Very quick service on very short notice. I never met him before this but he has my HIGHEST recommendation. I'd hire him again without reservation, hopefully under more pleasant circumstances. Thank you Kevin. Kevin Doherty

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 21, 2018•From White Plains, NY
My mom threw a surprise birthday party for my dad's 70th recently. Since he is of Scottish descent, we thought it would be nice to have a Scottish themed party. Mom interviewed a few bagpipers and decided Kevin was the best. He showed up on time, but as it goes with surprise birthdays, dad was late, and Kevin had to stay about 30 mins or so longer than agreed upon. He was extremely accommodating, gave us no impression that he was anything but happy to help us. When it came the time to play, his musicianship and knowledge of songs was excellent. At one point, my dad started to cry! We were so happy to have him with us. Wonderful to talk to, wonderful to hear play.
:
Very Very nice family and friends a Great party I hope they all had fun God Bless them all
