Review by Stephanie R.

Funeral•Reviewed on September 30, 2024•From Alexandria, VA

Kevin was prompt, professional and did a fantastic job helping to honor my father's graveside burial ceremony, not even being a bit deterred by the rain. He made what is typically a solemn event into a real celebration of life. Thank you Kevin.

Kevin was a wonderful gentleman, he was on time, extremely polite and very professional. He was a great asset to our Burns’ Night celebration.

Club Event•Reviewed on November 2, 2022•From Vienna, VA

Kevin thrilled our club members with his music ability and his wonderful explanations of the various pipes used outdoor and indoor areas. His thoroughness in explaining the types of tunes during the centuries was very interesting and the examples he played were enjoyed by all. He is personable and has a very good sense of humor.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 17, 2022•From Washington, DC

I think Kevin is a very accomplished and talented piper, and would have given an overall "5" in all categories, but I was unable to achieve the musical effect I had hoped, and perhaps this is because I am not fully aware of the challenges my request posed for professional musicians, but since I had heard what I sought from others, I suggest that not all musicians, no matter how talented, can meet every demand! So, notwithstanding that, I would eagerly recommend Kevin to anyone seeking a traditional Scottish or Irish piper!

Beautiful music

Funeral•Reviewed on September 19, 2022•From Rising Sun, MD

I hired Kevin for a funeral service. Having never hired a bagpiper for a funeral I was sure what the protocol was. Kevin was very helpful in that regard and made the whole process easy. He sounded great and looked the part. Bottom line , he was excellent. Thank you Kevin!

Funeral•Reviewed on June 17, 2022•From Arlington, VA

Kevin O’Brien was very knowledgeable and professional. He shared relevant information about the Arlington funeral experience. He arrived ahead of schedule, checked in at the chapel and was waiting for our arrival at the gravesite. His piping added SO much to this celebration of life and internment. We were very pleased. I highly recommend Kevin O’Brien’s services.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 27, 2020•From State College, PA

Kevin was on time, professional, and prepared for our family wedding event. All enjoyed his selections and attire. Kevin was flexible working with us given the current gathering location and size restrictions in place. If you need a piper, try Kevin!

Kevin was a delight. He took pictures with guests and gave our event that special touch that everyone will remember!

Funeral•Reviewed on January 26, 2020•From Woodbridge, VA

Kevin was in place well before anyone arrived. He played in the rain as people arrived. After mass, the recessional hymn was “Amazing Grace”. As they exited the church, they were greeted with “Amazing Grace” on bagpipes. Beautiful!! Thank you Kevin O’Brien!!??

Funeral•Reviewed on November 22, 2019•From Marion Heights, PA

Dont take not giving any 5 as a negative. I feel everyone has room for improvement and hardly ever give anyone or anything a perfect score.. Kevin arrived on time at the church and cemetery. He helped make my father's funeral service special. I have no reason not to give him a positive review but I'm not some professional judge on bag piping either. I personally would use his services again or recomend him to anyone needing someone to play the bag pipes. A big kudos to him for traveling 3 hours for our family at the price he quoted us. Everyone local to me was not available and could have took advantage of us but he didnt. Thank you very much sir.
