Robert did an awesome job at my father's funeral. His choice of music was spot on and he coordinated with the staff at Quantico to ensure the whole event came off perfectly. Thanks Robert!

He was very professional, and played beautifully for our moms funeral, everyone was satisfied with his performance. It was definitely shorter then I expected. I thought he would’ve played a little longer of amazing grace, but its fine no big deal. He definitely gave a great experience to honor our mom!

Robert is the best. Made it a very special day for our opening fox hunt. Will be booking him next year if available. Steve

This was my second Fox/ Hound Event. I loved it. The hounds, the horses, the costumes, and the delicious cookies were perfect on this beautiful November morning. I tried to imagine a fox out there scheming and planning his route over the hills and through the woods to keep up the spirits throughout the event.

Funeral•Reviewed on July 23, 2021•From Baltimore, MD

Robert is amazing and very respectful of the family and the deceased. Robert adds a wonderful ending to a military funeral. Robert and his bagpipes in that environment at Arlington is very fitting.

It meant so much to have Robert's expertise on the day of my father's funeral. I knew we could trust him to play beautiful music but also knew we could trust him to show up, perform with professionalism, and know the flow of the event without much instruction which freed us up to focusing on the event itself. He played deeply meaningful tunes that hold a special place in my heart and were important to my father and the memories of his music will stay with me for a long time.

Bob did a fantastic job! I booked him to help serenade us while I popped the question. Bob was flexible as I had to change the time and was very prompt. The crowd at Martin’s tavern loved his performance. Very reasonably priced and an all around great guy. HIGHLY recommend!!

Blair, Thank you so much for inviting me to perform at your Traditional Scottish Brunch. The atmosphere was wonderful. Playing the Christmas tunes in sets sprinkled with the Scottish music on the Bagpipes was a pure enjoyment for me. IF you ever need a Bagpiper again please call. Rmitch242@gmail.com

Wedding•Reviewed on November 6, 2019•From Lovettsville, VA

Mike was the icing on top of a lovely day. We had 29 men in kilts and his music made them all cry. He was on time and independent. I was able to arrange everything by email and even surprised my groom~.

:

Amy did a wonderful job with the last minute change due to illness. Her wedding was spectacular. For me, this is the first wedding where I provide music and all the men in the wedding party and guests were "kilted out" and the ladies sporting Highland attire as well. Bob Mitchell

Wedding•Reviewed on September 3, 2019•From Bloomsburg, PA

Robert was a true hero during our wedding. It was pouring rain and the plans were all over the map, but he never stopped playing and adapting to our changing schedule. He was kind and friendly and played beautifully the entire time. I would 100% recommend him for any occasion.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 26, 2019•From Templeville, MD

He was prompt, well mannered, worked hard to please the audience.

:

The surprise party went without a hitch.. I was asked to provide 2 sets of bagpipe tunes and march from the front of the house to the backyard. I thought that the sets went a little long. However, I kept playing because the family really enjoyed the music. I arrived right on time and played some of the best music I have ever played on a beautifully tuned Scottish bagpipe. I was very surprised to see that the client gave me the worst evaluation I have ever received.

Funeral•Reviewed on April 8, 2019•From Haddonfield, NJ

Robert was fantastic. Our priest allowed him inside the church at the end of the service to march and play up the isle and lead Grammy back down on her way to her final resting place. It was amazing and the exact way she would have liked to be sent off to heaven. He was superb!!

Bradley, Thank you for contacting me to play the honors at Anna Cooper's Funeral on Dec. 3. I always appreciate the opportunity to send a loved one off with "Amazing Grace" played at the graveside service. At the end of the service, the family enjoys hearing some of the lovely tunes such as "Going Home", "Dream Valley of Glendaruel", and "When the Battle's O're". I was happy that everything went so smoothly thanks to your organizational and communication skills. R. Mitchell

Review by Jane L.

Funeral•Reviewed on October 15, 2018•From Charles Town, WV

Robert Mitchell played for my aunt’s recent funeral in a small town in West Virginia. He was a pleasure to work with, and shared his suggestions by phone and email as we finalized arrangements. He arrived on time smartly turned out, and filled all the transitions in the service with appropriate tunes. The segue into Amazing Grace was just lovely, and the music trailing off as he moved away at the end of the service was especially poignant, and amplified all our emotions, as good music will. Robert’s professionalism was a gift to all present. I hope to use his talents on happier occasions in the future.

:

Jane, Thank you very much for the kind review. Thank you for not mentioning that I was the last to arrive. I try to arrive before most everyone gets to an event. But I can't remember what happened that day. I do remember playing and really enjoying the seque into Amazing Grace. Do you know of a recording of that ? because I cannot remember what tune I played.

Veteran's Day Party•Reviewed on November 9, 2017•From Johnstown, PA

Bob was just great - he accommodated our very early 7:00 AM start time. He arrived well in advance of our start time and quickly understood and executed our event agenda. Bob's performance was definitely one of the events highlights.
