We hired Darrell to play at the funeral of our police officer. Darrell was awesome and very professional. I loved the music arrangement he played. I highly recommend Darrell for any occasion!!

Darrell was fantastic! He arrived on time and was very professional, both in dress and in behavior. He went above and beyond what was requested of him, and was also flexible in accommodating last minute changes. We are very appreciative that Darrell was able to perform at our event, and we would definitely hire him again!

Darrell was great! Dressed appropriately, clean and very polite. I was impressed with his professionalism and his willingness to stay a few extra minutes for pictures and video. I would, without reservation, recommend him for your event. Rudy LaBrada, Alta Loma, CA

I just realized I never responded to a rating for Darrell. HE WAS AWESOME. It's sad when a love on passes and my friend wanted a bag piper. Everyone enjoyed him. I wish I could have stay longer. Thank you for being so nice and professional. Janice

Our family greatly appreciated Darrell's attention to detail and concern for the family. His performance was talked about and appreciated time and time again throughout the day.

The performers were very professional and accomodating. Our venue was not the best, and they graciously accomodated our needs by being flexible and responsive. They are very talented and entertaining and I am looking forward to using them again, with a venue better suited to highlight their talents.

Funeral•Reviewed on October 27, 2018•From Riverside, CA

Darrell was fabulous, he played the songs I requested, perfectly. His rendition of Amazing Grace was awesome. As he played, he slowly walked away from us at the cemetery, at the same time as my mothers body was slowly being driven away to her final resting place. He timed it perfectly, we were all in tears and at the same time we felt a sense of closure as he walked away, the sound trailing as he goes. I highly recommend Darrell Calvillo, he truly made a heartbreaking day much more bearable, I am forever grateful.

As a first time person to hire a bagpiper it was the best experience my family and I have had. The sounds he made with the pipes we're flawless. Darrell calvillo is now my go to guy for the bagpipes.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 7, 2018•From Corona del Mar, CA

What an awesome experience. I surprised my husband with Darrell as I walked down the aisle. He was completely shocked and overcome with emotion. This meant so much and truly made our wedding day so unique and meaningful. It added the Scottish touch he so wanted. Darrell was so professional and easy to work with - selecting the songs which we worked into our ceremony. 5 stars and many thanks.

Darrell was excellent! He did exactly what I requested plus more. I had only requested one to two songs during the recessional of our weding and he took it upon himself to stay longer and play a few songs during cocktail hour which was greatly appreciated! Thanks Darrell!!

Darrell certainly exceed my expectations. He was prompt and quite accommodating. Not having done this before, he was quite helpful in choosing tunes to play. My Mother would have been very proud.

Was absolutely awesome experience! My boyfriend was very excited and all the party guests were incredibly impressed. I will definitely refer and promote Darrell to anyone that is in need of his skills. Hope to see his whole group play together one day!

Wedding•Reviewed on April 12, 2008•From Redondo Beach, CA

I loved the addition of the bagpiper to my wedding event. My parents loved it as well. I was not going to do it for financial reasons but I decided to and I was soooooooooooo glad I did. He was on time, professional and dressed perfect. My only regret was I didn't have him walk us in on our grand entrance. I wish I would have. But he did a great "Danny Boy" for my parents. Thanks so much Darrel...you were great!

Funeral•Reviewed on March 11, 2019•From Anaheim, CA

I didn't know who to chose for a bagpiper, but not only did Darrell have great reviews and awards he called me when I was getting multiple quotes. I felt he was truly interested to play and appreciated his reaching out. We all were so impressed wuth his performance. He started playing down the street so his entrance into the backyard was very impressive. Everyone was moved by his playing. Very nice man too.. Highly recommend.

Funeral•Reviewed on January 26, 2008•From Rancho Palos Verdes, CA

I was very happy with my choice to select Darryll to perform at my Scottish grandmother's funeral. We know the traditions, and he was spot on with his performance, both musically and ritually. He was very helpful in filling-in where there were gaps in our organization at the gravesite, and I wouldn't hesitate again to hire him or to recommend him to others.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 28, 2016•From Palm Springs, CA

Darrell was the icing on the cake at my father's big birthday party! Everyone loved having him there. It was a small party of about 20-25 people and the hottest day of the year so far in Palm Springs, so we kept things inside until the sun went down. Darrell kept cool and played a few songs at a time and then mingled in between so that it wasn't overwhelming. We not only enjoyed his music but also his knowledge and stories about the bagpipes. It was an excellent party and I would absolutely recommend Darrell for any of your future events!

Totally awesome! Darrell arrived super early and ready to go. There was a lot going on and he just went with the minute to minute changes. His playing was outstanding, his attire was perfect.
