Review by Karen A.

Church Service•Reviewed on October 28, 2024•From Madison, VA

Robert Mitchell was excellent! Do not hesitate to use him. He is a great planner, knowledgeable, eager to make sure everybody's on the same page. He also drove an exceptionally long way to get to us and we were blessed by his music. Thank you!

Phenomenal performer and solidly fantastic recommendations for pieces to play for our grandparents internment service. Highly recommend for services at Arlington National Cemetary. He knew the protocols better than we did :) Thank you, Bob!

Funeral•Reviewed on September 8, 2024•From Arlington, VA

Robert reached out beforehand to coordinate with family on final arrangements. Despite a small last minute change in the program, Robert coordinated with Funeral Director to complete his participation. Great performance. Family was very appreciative. Highly recommended.

Memorial Day Party•Reviewed on June 19, 2024•From Washington, DC

Robert was phenomenal! Played Scotland the Brave, US Air Force song, and quick step march for official party at a military ceremony. Looked sharp, executed timely, and performed in a high ops tempo environment.Would absolutely hire again!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 26, 2024•From Washington, DC

We loved having Bob at our wedding. He was so easy to work with and accommodating. It was so special having the small pipes at our event as it’s a tradition in my family. Highly recommend!

Usually, I play the Highland bagpipes for outdoor ceremonies, but being completely surrounded by the colonial buildings demanded a more gentle sound. The small pipes were the perfect at this venue.

Robert did a wonderful job. His music truly enhance our pre and post wedding ceremony! He was very easy to work with and very accommodating. We would definitely use him for our remaining daughter’s weddings!

Funeral•Reviewed on July 2, 2024•From Emmitsburg, MD

Robert was easy to communicate throughout the planning and execution of the service. He is a very talented man who takes pride in his playing!

Thank you for the opportunity to play at St. Anthony's Shrine and the Grotto of Elizabeth of Seton. It was surreal. I felt like I was playing in the Largest Shrine in the World under the wide open skies.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 12, 2023•From Lewes, DE

Robert is a professional. He listened to what we wanted and made some suggestions that were far better than our original plan. He demonstrated flexibility as the event went on. On his own initiative, he worked with the sound engineer for the large band, that would be playing later in the evening, to diffuse the point source of his bagpipe so that the sound was more even for all of the guests to enjoy. We look forward to engaging him another time.

Robert Mitchell did an outstanding job from booking to performing at my uncle's memorial at Arlington National Cematary. It was a very moving performance and made the service very memorable. Thank you

Funeral•Reviewed on May 14, 2023•From Orange, VA

Robert Mitchell has given my family a priceless gift. At the end of my Dad's celebration of life, his rendition of Amazing Grace brought tears to our eyes and filled our hearts with joy. He played another piece or two as people came out of the church, and the entire crowd was mesmerized. Thank you, thank you, Mr. Mitchell!!

Club Event•Reviewed on May 7, 2023•From Kensington, MD

Robert is a very nice man who made a point of coming early to get the lay of the land and practice, he was very professional.

Thank you for your Review. When a bagpiper arrives at a dinner, wedding, or even a funeral it is necessary to play the instrument for a few minutes beforehand to stabilize the 4 reeds. Each reed will have its own temperature and moisture level needed for optimum sound. This blowing in period is necessary for the very best sound and is often mistaken for "practice". I practice daily at home, and always tune my instrument in order to deliver the very best sound possible. Robert Mitchell

Perfect, on time, flexible, professional and sounded great. Excellent guy to deal with. If you need a bagpipe player book Robert.

Review by Patti E.

Funeral•Reviewed on July 11, 2022•From Frederick, MD

Robert was a delight to work with, and his talent as a musician are first rate. He played everything we asked, and his music was a beautiful accompaniment to my mothers services. Robert had a long day with us, and I am embarrassed I didn’t get a chance to tell him how much I, and everyone in attendance, loved his music. We couldn’t have asked for a better bagpiper, a better human at the service. Thank you Robert.

Patti, I love your Review. I am putting this on my website. The service went so well and was extremely well organized. Thank you so much, Robert Mitchell
