Wedding CeremonyReviewed on June 30, 2024From Sparta, NJ

Thom responds promptly to messages. Arrives before the start of the event to set up and warm up. He learned a special song for me which made my wedding day even more special for me and my now wife. All along the way he was happy, kind and has an eagerness to accommodate. His talent impressed our guests and he was kind enough to stay for some pictures. If you are in need of a bagpiper for any event, the happy piper can deliver in spades. He can play the uilleann and the highland pipes. Go raibh mile maith agut, Thom!

Graduation PartyReviewed on May 24, 2024From Hammonton, NJ

I am thrilled to share an excellent review for the bagpiper we hired for the PhD graduation party. Despite starting later than scheduled, he was incredibly patient and cooperative, ensuring the event flowed smoothly. His friendly demeanor and adaptability to last-minute changes were truly commendable. His performance left an indelible memory on the minds of our guests, making the day truly unforgettable. Thanks to his exceptional talent and professionalism, the celebration was a resounding success. I will definitely hire him again in the future.

Memorial ServiceReviewed on August 29, 2023From Lumberville, PA

Thom was gracious from the first messages we exchanged. We worked together through the programmatic details for the celebration of life I was planning for my late father and we were able to realize the vision! He was so accommodating of our song choices and choreography based on the other elements of the event and the venue. Thank you for a memorable performance! Every guest has commented on how beautiful it was. I recommend Thom without reservation.

:

THANK YOU so much for this really kind review, Mariel! I was honestly moved by the amazing eulogies for your father, and I confess that it was a little difficult for me to conclude with a performance of “The Parting Glass” after listening to four of his friends sing that lovely song’s verses beforehand! Thank you for entrusting me with this great privilege! May your father’s memory be a blessing. ????????????

Club EventReviewed on January 23, 2023From Wilmington, DE

Thom was amazing! So easy to work with and such a joy to chat with! Not only is he talented, but he was also very knowledgeable about the history surrounding our event (Robert Burns), and was able to provide our guests with some fun facts! Our event overlapped the Eagles playoff game, and Tom even entertained the diehard fans with the Eagles fight song! Can’t wait to work with him again in the future!!

:

Thank you SO MUCH for this lovely review, Dana! I totally enjoyed not only performing for all of you, but also just being with you! The enthusiasm, happiness, and sense of fun were wonderful. Thank you for having me, and I hope we’ll all see each other again soon!

CelebrationReviewed on November 19, 2022From Absecon, NJ

After almost 45v years of hiring pipers for family events for a very Scottish family, the Happy Bagpiper was by far the finest we have hired. The of the most organized, talented musicians I have ever encountered.

Thank you so much for this amazing review, Gordon!

WeddingReviewed on March 24, 2019From Philadelphia, PA

Talented, detail oriented, and utterly charming. Thom is the ideal bagpiper for your wedding! I was juggling several last-minute plans for our big day and did not check in with Thom about song selection or logistics until the week before the event. Good thing I had him! He recommended perfect song selections for our processessional And recessional, I didn’t need to do any additional research. One conversation over the phone and he had the logistics down. He arrived early, was polished, articulate, and so kind. I’m already thinking of reasons to hire him again because it was such a rewarding experience. Thom, you made our wedding day so special!! -Megan & Ted, Philly

I can't say enough about Thom. He came through like a champ. Professional in all our correspondence, he did exactly what he said he would do, when he would do it and everything was done to top caliber. Thank you Thom for taking part in our memorial, the handling of your services was one major part that I did not have to worry about at all. You were on top of everything and kept me in the loop in a timely and complete fashion. I wholeheartedly recommend Thom and will use him again in the future should the need arise.

Lisa, you and your family and loved ones represent a prime example of why I LOVE performing, and especially for families and small gatherings: You were all so warm, kind, welcoming, and appreciative. My heart gets bigger with every event I play for and every new family I meet. THANK YOU for having me in your home and trusting me to perform for and interact with your loved ones. It is a huge, huge privilege to do this. I am endlessly grateful! -Thom

WeddingReviewed on October 30, 2017From Northampton, PA

Thom Moore was absolutely phenomenal!!! I literally cannot begin to even explain how thankful I am that I found Thom on Gigmasters. HE IS THE BEST! Right from the very beginning, I was welcomed with a very quick response and he answered every single question I had. Down to the planning of the songs we were going to use for the ceremony... he even played during our cocktail hour which was a complete hit. Everyone loved and adored him, and my family that traveled here from Scotland was absolutely thrilled! I can't tell you how many people were just completely blown away by his pure talent! If you need a piper, Thom Moore is the one the go with!!! xoxox Kirsty & Andrew

Private PartyReviewed on February 5, 2019From Morrisville, PA

Thom was a great asset to our ambitious Burns Supper. He had a long list of songs committed to memory, switched between bagpipes and small bagpipes as the mood required and was very approachable and friendly with our guests. He played to a very high standard and incorporated himself into the event perfectly. He has my thanks and appreciation. I highly recommend Thom.

:

Thank you so much, Tom! Your party was brilliant and a massive success! I do hope that you continue the tradition!! Cheers and all the best, Thom
