Country Club Event•Reviewed on June 8, 2014•From Apex, NC

J.V. was awesome! Absolutely perfect for our golf outing, capable of playing all the bagpipe classics and improvising when necessary. There were 20 of us playing, and nobody had anything but great feedback for him. Highly recommended!

Commitment Ceremony•Reviewed on September 27, 2013•From Siler City, NC

A talented piper and excels in appearance and musical delivery. Was the most pleasant individual and connected with those around him, everyone enjoyed his music and I have the highest respect and compliments for Mr.J.V. Hudson and would engage him for any future events. He captures the feel of all things Scottish !! I've seen hundreds of pipers perform and he is in the top fifth in my observations.

Funeral•Reviewed on August 25, 2013•From Garland, NC

Our family hired JV to play for an elderly relative who loved bagpipes and her Scottish Heritage almost a year ago for her birthday. She thought it was the most wonderful birthday present. She passed away a few weeks ago and we knew she would have wanted JV to play for her memorial. He played beautifully, was incredibly professional and kind. He is a very special person, and I cannot recommend him highly enough.

He did such an amazing job! I would highly highly highly recommend him to anyone! He made a special day even more special. He was very professional, And when things ran a little bit long, he was very flexible in helping us!! I am extremely picky about using vendors for events, and I would book him again anytime. He was absolutely a delight!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 26, 2013•From Wake Forest, NC

We thoroughly enjoyed J.V. for our surprise 60th birthday party. Not only was the Scottish guest of honor bowled over by a true blue bagpiping Scot in his backyard but so were all the other guests. J.V. arrived promptly and unobtrusively with a round of "Happy Birthday" followed by a host of other wonderful sounds and songs. The guests were spellbound. With a rainy mist in the night air, ale in the mugs and J.V. on the bagpipes we felt we were in Scotland. Thank you J.V. for making Mac's special night truly a memorable one.

Private Party•Reviewed on May 3, 2013•From Pinehurst, NC

He was great to work with, and very flexible. His performance was spot on, and very appreciated. Our guests were from Scotland visiting, and were very complementary of his talent. They even invited him to join them for a beverage after performing. We are very pleased!

Wedding•Reviewed on April 20, 2013•From Chapel Hill, NC

Mr. Hudson was very accommodating. He agreed to play for our wedding on very short notice, and and was prifessional and timely with his communication. He was very personable and was flexible with our schedule. He suggested a wonderful program of pieces and played them beautifully. It should also be mentioned that he was very patient with the bride who was a bit late to her own wedding :). It was a pleasure to have him perform at our wedding!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 16, 2012•From Nags Head, NC

He was very much on time and ready to go well before the time he was scheduled to play. He surprised my groom and family by coming down to the beach and playing and then playing for some at our cocktail hour. It was an awesome day and he put the icing on the cake for our ceremony! Thank you so much...would highly recommend him.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 1, 2012•From Asheville, NC

Awesome bagpiper! J.V. made a huge impact with our guests when he walked into our wedding reception in full-dress playing "Scotland the Brave". He plays an incredibly well tuned bagpipe (including some pretty difficult tunes) and has the most beautiful Scottish attire. We hired J.V. to play background music before our wedding and to do a few songs during our reception, and not only was the music outstanding, but J.V. is such a wonderful guy! So easy to work with, and just a easy-going, laid-back person. We would recommend him 100% to anyone who is looking for a truly professional bagpiper. Thanks so much, J.V.!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 10, 2011•From Chapel Hill, NC

J.V. was a lovely addition to our wedding ceremony. We had several people who attended who are let's just say very aware of what good pipes are and they were all extremely pleased. My husband and I were as well and we'd hire him again in a heartbeat. J.V. was our sole musician for the ceremony and he had great suggestions. He got back to me right away which is sort of needed when you're having to prepare and take care of endless details for an event. Thank you J.V. for your professionalism and experience!

Mr. Hudson arrived well before the wedding and was fantastic to talk, and answered all of my boring questions. His talent and professionalism exceeded my expectations. I would recommend him to anyone. Thanks
