Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 20, 2024•From San Diego, CA

Piper Robert Burns did a truly memorable presentation for us who played Danny boy, an amazing grace, and another great song. Then we broke for the pledgr of allegiance and a toast to all pilots that have died after that, he played TAPS America, the beautiful and the Star-Spangled Banner the 310 veterans pilots in attendance stood and sang with his bagpipe America, the beautiful and the Star-Spangled Banner I don't know what further tribute they could've given to this wonderful presentation I'm a Scotsman myself

Robert was wonderful, piping for my mother's memorial service. He was timely, professional, and personable- not to mention very talented.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 7, 2023•From Coronado, CA

Very professional, and prepared, even showing up early for the event. The sound of the pipes welcomed our Wedding Guests to the reception, and it was also a lovely surprise to the golfers who were still enjoying their game on the surrounding Coronado Golf Course. It was so nice to have a wee bit of home, at our special event, and I would recommend Robert Burns for your next event.

Celebration•Reviewed on October 26, 2022•From Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Robert Burns is a wonderfully talented piper who listened and executed every request and added his own creative elements. His version of "Scotland the Brave" was the highlight of my father's celebration of life and I would highly recommend him. A few of his special talents are his vast knowledge of Celtic culture and his treasure trove of tunes. Great guy as well.

Club Event•Reviewed on April 4, 2022•From Encinitas, CA

Robert was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and flexible as far as his time and event requirements. He was punctual and presentation was spot on. We enjoyed the knowledge of Scottish rites and history he offered when asked. There were no songs that were requested he did not know and he had multiple pipes to choose from. We hope to book him again in the future. Thanks Robert !

Thank you. As I already told you, this event was a rarity with your older daughter's extraordinary touches the witnessing of which was a treasure in and of itself.

excellent!

Funeral•Reviewed on March 16, 2009•From Borrego Springs, CA

He did an excellent job and told us a bit about the history behind each song, which was very interesting. We enjoyed his music so much, Robert was kind enough to play for quite a bit longer than originally planned. I give him my highest recommendation!

Funeral•Reviewed on January 26, 2008•From San Diego, CA

Mr. Burns was fantastic and very thoughtful in his selections of music for my Grandmother's funeral. Thankyou, Alison

Funeral•Reviewed on September 3, 2008•From Bonita, CA

Mr. Burns was delightful and very professional. His performance added a profoundly beautiful touch to the funeral and meshed wonderfully with the Marine Corps honor guard present for the ceremony. My Father-in-law was a decorated Korean war veteran, and the pipes added so much to the military flavor of the ceremony. Thanks to Mr. Burns for his very moving rendition of "Highland Cathedral". There was not a dry eye left when he was through. Thanks, Jeff Morgan

Robert was so awesome and took my cues accommodated our needs and lead all of us to the Restaurant across the street for the reception!!!! My Wedding Ceremony was beautiful, mystical, magical, enchanting experience-- Thanx to Robert!!!

Nancy and her husband get, in my opinion, the greatest credit for the beautiful, mystical, magical, enchanting experience but I am honored to have played a supporting role.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 23, 2021•From Escondido, CA

Robert Burns is a true professional. He arrived a little early so everything would be set up, asked what songs we would like if anything special, very accommodating to our needs. I would hire him again knowing how his performance was. I would be very happy recommending him to anyone else. It was my wife's 50th birthday party, and she was overwhelmed with his presence. Enjoyed his music!
