• Mr White did a fantastic job! He was "johnny on the Spot" and very professional. He was very personal to my grandfather and my family. I love that he explained the history of bagpipping and the instrument itself which was very intresting to know. He had chosen the perfect songs to play according to his audience & was accomadating to the setting in which he played. I would also like to thank him for being so kind to my grandfather. It is a birthday (90th!!) he'll never forget. The whole event brought a tear to his eye and we was speachless for the rest of the night. I would like to agian thank Robert White & I would recommend him to a friend anytime. -- Cory W, Raleigh, NC, 10/13/2007
• Robert performed at a Military Funeral for our family at New Bern National Cemetery in North Carolina. We found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful in understanding military protocol and traditions. He was extremely flexible with scheduling. Robert was very dependable, and we found him to be a man of great character. His appearance was immaculate and his performance added such a touch of class to this service. We highly recommend Robert to any one who would like Bagpipes performed at their event. -- Vickee Hinton M, New Bern, NC, 10/12/2011
• Outstanding -- Mark M, Raleigh, NC, 11/5/2011
• Mr. White was great! My family hand I booked him for my wedding at a garden and we were the only ones to know about him. After our pronouncement of husband and wife, he emerged from the trees and played "Mhairs Wedding". My husband and guests were so amazed and excited! We walked down the aisle to him playing and then the guests followed Robert as he played to the cocktail hour that we had set up in another part of the garden. It was all perfect. Robert was so great that at the cocktail hour the guests wanted his photo and he was in countless albums. Thank you Robert! It meant so much that we could share a piece of our heritage with our new family and guests. -- Lorna A, Fayetteville, NC, 10/8/2011
• Thank you Robert for Playing the Bagpipes for our military appreciation night. Your performance for the last 6 years has been superb and I hope to book you for many years to come. The ceremony of you playing “Amazing Grace” and “Going Home” was excellent. Our guests very impressed with your expertise and we had great comments on your “Military Medley” and your attire was perfect for the occasion. Your Bagpipes sounded beautiful. Thanks for helping to make this a very special occasion for all the great veterans who have served our country in the past and the present. They loved your performance!! Al Gage Operating Partner Golden Corral -- Al G, Garner, NC, 11/14/2011
• Robert's performance was exceptional and added so much to our Memorial Service! My only hesitation for recommendation would be with respect to the cost for his services. I personally thought his rates were a bit high, especially since we deal with a limited budget, but we needed a bagpiper and I could not locate an alternative. In truth, I have already recommended Robvert to another group. However, when I mentioned his rates, I was told by the group in question that they could not afford him, although they too thought his performance was exceptional. R. Lewis -- Renea L, Camp Lejeune, NC, 2/24/2012
• Robert was exactly what I wanted for my husbands retirement ceremony. He was accommodating, and professional. It was a complete surprise for my husband. Thank you for everything. -- Jodi M, Sneads Ferry, NC, 3/16/2012
• He was wonderful and knowledgeable with weddings. He actually helped instruct and lead the wedding party and everyone's responsibilities. He offered his professional advice but never pushed his suggestions. The music was amazing and his uniform was very well put together. Robert also was very personable and great with the guests. Very easy to talk to. My new husband and I would recommend him to everyone who would like to hire a professional entertainer such as Robert White. He made our wedding very memorable and special! -- Cara` R, Pinehurst, NC, 4/7/2012
• I highly recommend Robert J. White for any special event. He was extremely professional and talented and a great addition to our event. You cannot go wrong with Robert! -- Katie S, Raleigh, NC, 5/5/2012
• Mr. White was genuinely concerned with our satisfaction. He made a grand entrance, played a very nice set and then mingled with our guests. He played another set, and then spent time with a group of us who wanted to know more about how the pipes work. He was a consummate professional and I would not hesitate to hire him again. -- Brad B, Durham, NC, 5/12/2012
• Robert J. White was absolutely the finest performer we could have hoped for. All of our requests as well as last minute changes were handled by Mr. White in a most professional manner. Our guests were thrilled with his overall talent and presentation. His performance added a whole new dimension to our celebration. Compliments on his performance and all round musical expertise with commentary on the pieces played were enthusiastic and heart felt. When we have another event we will be requesting Mr. White. We would recommend Mr. White to anyone who is looking for a professional piper and entertainer. Thanks to Mr. White for helping to make our event a success! -- Catherine T, Williamsburg, VA, 5/11/2012
