Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on January 28, 2019•From New York City, NY

We engaged The NYC Piper to perform as part of surprise birthday party we hosted for a dear friend. Jerry was amazingly accomodating and professional in adjusting to our plans. He is an amazing piper. The crowd absolutely loved him and he was so patient with all the folks who wanted pictures with him. He’s a total pro and I highly recommend for any piping needs you have!

Jerry was the absolute best! Incredibly kind, professional and a master of his trade, his bagpipes were a highlight to our wedding. I wish I could give him 10 stars or more. I can’t imagine what our wedding would have been without him.

The NYC Piper was simply AMAZING. His playing at my mother in laws funeral was the most beautiful thing you could ever imagine. Hie authentic dress and heart warming play bought peace and dignity to her funeral. My family thanks him from the bottom of our hearts for a job well done.

I hired Jerry the NYC Piper to play at my mother's graveside this weekend. I pictured a beautiful day, with the pipes surprising the family as they arrived, then a mournful tune, then more happy tunes as we visited the other graves in the family plot and made our way to the hall where we would eat.As luck would have it, a downpour began just after our family gathered. Protected only partially by a tree, Jerry paid a musical tribute to my mother as rain dripped off him and his pipes. We headed to lunch earlier than planned because I didn't want my 89 year old aunt to stay out in the rain, but I know that Jerry would have piped on come hell or high water. Nice guy too.

Having Jerry play our wedding was among the most special and memorable experiences of the day. Communicating with him beforehand was easy and stress-free. He looked and sounded amazing AND he helped me pull off surprising my groom with his piping! I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you for everything!!

Private Party•Reviewed on March 18, 2018•From New York City, NY

An absolute professional who brings a narrative to the performance that delighted our guests — tying the instrument to its history (multicultural) and communicating his personal relationship with playing the pipes.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 31, 2017•From Brooklyn, NY

The NYC Piper was amazing at our wedding. He is exceptionally talented and very personable. Having the bagpiper was the perfect surprise gift for the groom from the bride. The NYC Piper was amazing as he played outside the church and then led the wedding guests through the streets of Brooklyn to the Reception. It was perfect. Our guests loved the bagpipes. The NYC Piper helped to create an amazing and very memorable wedding day. Thank you NYC Piper. Gloria & Eric 10/28/17

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 6, 2017•From West Point, NY

Working with Jerry for our special day was absolutely the best decision we could have made! We still cannot hear bagpipes without getting misty eyed thinking about our wedding day. Jerry is an amazing and talented artist and we feel so blessed to have him be part of our special day. He is professional and courteous and everything you could ask for in a performer. We highly recommend him for your event. His bagpiper skills are simply stunning and his kilt and attire was gorgeous. He made our wedding ceremony so memorable. Guests are still gushing. Highly recommend Jerry! Amazing man.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 1, 2017•From Newark, NJ

Jerry is simply the best! We basically had over 500 guests at our wedding and his level of professionalism was an A++. Our guests enjoyed his performance and he gave me the grand entrance I needed as a bride. I highly recommend Jerry.

Wedding•Reviewed on July 28, 2017•From Brooklyn, NY

Wedding ceremonies can be boring...and I wanted to make ours as special as possible, while integrating "surprise elements" for our guests. Jerry played "the Bridal March" as I walked down the aisle with my stepdad and it was beautiful. He wore a uniform that had an NYPD badge with was an honor for my stepfather, a retired NYPD detective. And my father who is Welsh/Irish loves bagpipes, and although he couldn't walk me down the aisle (he's disabled), the tune brought tears to his eyes. As my husband and I walked back down the aisle together, Jerry piped us out to some upbeat Scottish tunes. Jerry stayed and mingled with the crowd, posing for photos. A true gentleman.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 25, 2017•From Califon, NJ

We hired Jerry for our wedding, he was terrific, great piper, proffesional, easy to work with, and good with the guests. He was also able to improvise, which was very helpful because we didn't have a specific plan for him when he arrived. Overall, we were very happy and would hire him again.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 11, 2017•From New York City, NY

Jerry was the highlight of my father's 80th birthday party. He played requests, chatted with all the guests and was integral to the overall success of the event. I would highly recommend him!

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 3, 2017•From New York City, NY

We loved Jerry! He was professional but also very warm and kind, especially in the circumstances. My mother, whose memorial service he was performing for, was smiling down at him and us throughout. Jerry was extremely accommodating with our event. He came early and played outside the church to alert attendees where to go, especially helpful when the service was slightly delayed as one of the family members was late. His playing and his appearance in full kilt and traditional garb was perfection. Thank you for sending him to us! Sincerely, Nancy Matthews
