Joel was outstanding. He was booked on short notice for a Marine Corps Birthday celebration. Since he is a retired Marine and a former Marine Corps Band member it made the booking a no brainer. He had to drive a long way, yet he arrived plenty early. He was willing to help us out in any way he could to make the ceremony as memorable as possible. He was very personable and also very professional. He played a major part in making it a great event. I highly recommend his services!

If there was 10 stars Joel would receive them!!! He piped for my Mom's Funeral-Irish Eyes R Smiling, In the Garden & Amazing Grace. Durning our talk together he look up the song In the Garden-to see if it could be adapted & retain Its melody. Yes- he could. The day of the service His piping was so beautiful, his adaption of In the Garden was perfection. A true Artist!!! Upon meeting, I found him to be like his piping-A beautiful soul, kind, respectful and loving. 1st Rate & High Class guy!!! He honer & gave her a beautiful day. Joel, Thank You so much for everything, esp. the hugs. I needed them so. With love and great respect to you. Val. 4perfection Hire him!!!!

Thank you for your kind words, Melissa! It was truly my honor to be there for the family! Kinda tricky playing while the ship's deck was rocking in the swells, but it made for a wonderful ceremony. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family for the day! Semper Fi

Wedding•Reviewed on December 13, 2018•From Palm Springs, CA

MarineSandPiper is an absolute legend, I could not believe we found such a talented piper in the middle of California! Not only was his playing superb, he is incredibly professional, personable and just fun to be around. We hired him for my wedding in Palm Springs in December and he delivered an amazing spectacle in his full regalia. 10/10 would recommend!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on October 7, 2018•From Redlands, CA

Joel was a consummate professional and immensely personable. We booked him for a memorial and he was very helpful in guiding us through normal proceedings for these kinds of things. His main goal was to help the memorial go as smoothly as possible as he gave us his input on how he would structure his playing but maintained flexibility throughout the process. He came early and prepared and did not micro-manage time so that the family were as comfortable as possible and got the experience they needed. We'd happily hire him again but perhaps for his alternative bagpipe skills as well.

Church Service•Reviewed on September 16, 2018•From Los Angeles, CA

Joel was amazing for our event. He is quite a talent and very professional. He was great at what I asked him to play and even adding his own twist at the end of the ceremony that provided a huge amount of enjoyment for the crowd. I would highly recommend him and I would use him again for another event.
