CelebrationReviewed on November 11, 2024From San Juan Capistrano, CA

Darrell was great. He was on time and came ready to play. He was easy to work with, accommodated all our requests, and the crowd loved him. It was a pleasure having him for our Marine Corps Birthday celebration. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional piper. Thanks very much to Darrell!

Memorial ServiceReviewed on August 31, 2024From Whittier, CA

Darrell's talent, skills as a musician, and professionalism truly elevated my mom's memorial into something very very special. Working with him before the event was so helpful with music selection and planning the day. The music itself brought a sense of peace and dignity and tradition to the proceedings. We started late and Darrell was gracious and attentive and stayed for the entire program without a hint of inconvenience. I recommend him highly and without reservation.
