Review by Janet I.

CelebrationReviewed on April 1, 2023From Rockville, MD

Jared communicated well before the event to get specifics on timing, location, pieces, and if people would be singing. He also researched a particular version of a song I wanted. We met 30" before the event to rehearse. For the opening song he did a slow march up the aisle, then back down timed with the song ending. This was a pleasant surprise, because I assumed he would stand in the back of the room. For the closing song, we got out of sync a couple of times, so that I had to skip some words to catch up. In the ending piece, he kept skipping notes and seemed to forget where he was in the piece. He looked great and was quite professional. His price was reasonable.

FuneralReviewed on July 31, 2022From Woodstock, MD

As a musician and a person Jared is off the charts. Jared had piped and played the harp for our family twice before. My Mother had specifically requested that we have Jared play at her Funeral Mass. Jared was more then accommodating and flexible with some last minute changes. Jared helped to make it a memorable service.

:

Thanks for the lovely feedback, Tim, I was deeply moved by your kind words at the service. Best wishes to your family. Jared

Jared was very professional, as always, and he is a very talented musician. He did everything exactly as we requested and he looked beautiful! He is a kind and gentle man and I would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Jared arrived early for the service. Was dressed in his kilt, was courteous and respectful. He beautifully played the songs which we had requested. We were extremely pleased with Jared and would highly recommend him.

WeddingReviewed on May 22, 2019From Poolesville, MD

Jared played bagpipe, ukulele and Celtic harp, —before, during (processioanal and recessional) and after (cocktail hour) our daughter’s wedding at Rocklands Farm, Potomac, MD. The music was wonderful at this outdoor celebration. Jared was incredibly accommodating to our changing requests. We highly recommend him!

Jared made an excellent presentation. He listened to what we had in mind & how we wanted to proceed. We were more than pleased & received complements on how our celebration of life was presented which was led by Jared.

Private PartyReviewed on April 4, 2018From Alexandria, VA

Everyone especially appreciated how Jared continued to play once he entered the sanctuary; allowing those who didn't participate in the procession to hear his wonderful playing while also providing the perfect transition to the organist's fanfare.

Private PartyReviewed on January 28, 2018From McLean, VA

Jared was super easy and flexible to work with and accommodating of my requests. He arrived on time and was dressed appropriately and performed perfectly. His bagpipe playing and helping with the presentation of the Haggis was perfect for our Burns night dinner. Highly recommend!

He accommodated all of the songs that were picked for my husband's funeral. He is a wonderful and talented performer on the bagpipes and the harp. My husband would have agreed. Everyone loved the music.

FuneralReviewed on May 30, 2016From Arlington, VA

Jared played the bagpipes at our mother's funeral service at Arlington National Cemetery. It was a wonderful touch to our farewell and gathering of friends and family. Jared was easy to work with, punctual, professional and flexible. I would definitely recommend him.

Thanks, Cindy, I was glad to be part of your mother's service. Best wishes, Jared

Memorial ServiceReviewed on March 25, 2016From Quantico, VA

Jared provided the final hymn of Amazing Grace for a large Memorial Service. The plans for how the music was to be presented changed at the last minute, and he adapted not only his playing but his presentation at the event. It was very successful, and the performance was beautiful! I look forward to working with him again in the future.

FuneralReviewed on August 26, 2015From West Chester, PA

Jared was very respectful regarding my situation. I wanted a bagpiper for my mom's funeral and was having trouble locating someone local. Jared offered right away and was willing to come a distance to do it! He did a great job! Thank you. Connie

It was awesome to be around such a great guy. He was very flexible and was able to adjust. He also was very willing to educate the choir and myself about the bagpipe. Everyone loved his playing! I would recommend this musician to anyone.

Jared provided music for our wedding ceremony as well as for the cocktail hour, using both the Celtic Harp and bagpipes. All our expectations were exceeded. Our guests loved his music and the effect was beautiful. Thanks Jared!

Jared went over and beyond for our wedding!! He took the time to meet and come early to work with the organist and cantor at the church. He was professional and timely. I would definitely recommend him to others looking for an amazing bag piper!!
