Review by Diana W.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 13, 2011•From Los Alamitos, CA

Dave played at my father's 90th birthday and was enjoyed by all. He was very professional. One reason I chose him was that he personally called me to make his bid and arrangements. Dave is talented musician and I would not hesitate to book him again.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 19, 2018•From Laguna Beach, CA

Dave played the bagpipes at our wedding ceremony. It was great working with him! He was always quick to respond to emails and his music made our ceremony even more special and unique. He learned a new song that we requested and played it beautifully. He also took time to rehearse with the church organist before the ceremony started, so that they could play one of the songs together. And finally, he wore traditional Scottish attire in a color scheme that matched our wedding colors. I definitely recommend hiring Dave.

Mr. Champagne was very professional and respectful. His arrival was timely. His bagpipe music was very beautiful at my father's funeral service, and I had many guests tell me how impressed they were with his music.

Review by Jennifer R.

Funeral•Reviewed on November 10, 2018•From Claremont, CA

He played the small pipes at our Mom’s celebration of life. Our mom wanted bagpipes but due to the constraints of the venue, the bagpipes would have been too loud. The small pipes were perfect. Dave was the consummate piper.

:

Jennifer, I’m very pleased that I was able to accommodate you on this day. Thank you very much for your kind comments! Regards, Dave Champagne

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 7, 2018•From Yucaipa, CA

Dave is very quick to respond and helpful with picking the music for my wedding ceremony. He came early to the venue to check out the space and dressed well. Everyone thought having a bagpiper was a nice touch since my husband is Scottish and his family surely appreciated it and loved the way he played. Thanks Dave for adding to my special day!

Review by Lyman F.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on March 18, 2018•From Hermosa Beach, CA

I admit, I did not have the easiest request of Dave, and I know he pushed his comfort zone as a performer to accommodate me and my wife (for her surprise birthday). Dave was professional, timely and a fantastic performer. He made the day! I would highly recommend him.

:

Lyman, Thanks again for this fun opportunity! I'm sure your wife was pleasantly surprised by the bagpipes, and I'm glad everything went well. Thank you for the kind words! Dave

Dave impressed me from the moment he introduced himself to me! Extremely professional! Excellent follow-up. Flexible. Talented. Excellent character! We WILL use him again! My family was so blessed to have him at our outdoor funeral yesterday. Everything went exactly as planned. We could not have asked for anything more! Thank you Dave! From the bottom of our hearts!!

Community Event•Reviewed on June 13, 2017•From San Dimas, CA

Dave is very professional. He knows more than the bagpipe. He is a real musician and performed above and beyond. He arrived on time. He learned the staging and performed Highland Cathedral even learning some additional parts which fit with our arrangement. We could not be more pleased. He is handsome and looked great in his kilt. I highly recommend Dave Champagne. You will be pleased.
