Review by Kelly H.

Wedding•Reviewed on April 6, 2009•From Huntington Beach, CA

I hired Darrell Cavillo for my wedding, Sunday March 29th, 2009. He arrived "on time", as the wedding party was begining to line up. I would have prefered he arrive earlier than right at that moment. He didn't play the right song for my procession and cut short the first song for the wedding party. Auld Lang Syne has 6 chorus repeats and I printed the words to the song in our program; he played one. The song was over before my fiance reached the alter.

We could not have been more pleased with Darrell Calvillo. Hiring him was the best decision as it really made an impact at my father-in-law's memorial service. He was amazing.

Mother's Day Party•Reviewed on May 10, 2013•From Redlands, CA

I'm sorry to say this, but Darrell did not show up to our planned Mother's Day Event. I had approximately 40 elderly guests waiting for his appearance and he was a no show. Disappointment can't even describe how my residents and I felt. While he might be a great performer, he failed me!

Darrell Calvillo was a pleasure to work with. Very professional and flexible to work within our schedule and with the ROTC Honor Guard. We would highly recommend Darrell to anyone who needs a Piper of the First Grade. Many thanks!

Wedding•Reviewed on October 6, 2007•From Lytle Creek, CA

Does the scale go to minus 10? Did not communicate well, we tired to call he never called back, email was very slow to return (if at all). Most importantly he never showed! The one thing we were looking forward to in our wedding did not show! If there was a scheduling problem he could have given us a heads up so we could find another bagpiper but he did not even email us to tell us he couldn't make it. Paid 50 bucks to reserve this "Professinal" just to see it go to waste.I want my money back! Can't belive that this guy is allowed to be this website, he takes away from any crediability that Gigmasters has. Because of him we will never use Gigmasters again!

Being a former Piper, I recognize Darrell's mechanical skills. Darrell handle himself very professionally. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a Piper. Ciao, Mark DeMille

Mark, Thank you for the kind words. I always try to play my best and have the pipes as well tuned as I can get them. I was an honor to be the family piper for the day. I hope we may cross paths again at the local highland games. Darrell

Memorial Service•Reviewed on November 24, 2017•From Riverside, CA

Having Darrell play the bagpipes at my father's memorial service made the service all the more special. He was great to work with and the price was very reasonable. I would strongly recommend his services to anyone that is considering having a bagpiper play at any type of event. Thank you!

Funeral•Reviewed on June 7, 2017•From Banning, CA

Darrell played at my grandmother's graveside service and totally exceeded my expectations. He recommended we add a few more instrumentalists for a richer sound and the resulting performance was beautiful. I really appreciated his professionalism and suggestions along the way. I received many comments that my grandmother would have loved the music and it was a great way to honor her. Thank you, Darrell!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 25, 2017•From Chino, CA

Darrell can play the pipes! I hired him for a surprise party for my husband. He is extremely professional, easy to communicate with and responsive via e-mail. My husband could not believe it -(it was a surprise performance for his birthday) -Songs well chosen and any of my requests included. There was nothing that could have been improved or found lacking. I would recommend Darrell 100% for the value of a memorable moment is priceless.
