Feedback

  • OUTSTANDING! Todd's performance at our wedding was nothing short of AMAZING. It would have been the missing piece had we not had Todd and we are so happy to have him included in our ceremony. We would HIGHLY recommend Todd to anyone seeking a true professional. Curt & Cindy Sullivan -- Curtiss S, Nashville, TN, 3/17/2012
  • Todd did a WONDERFUL job at my wedding!! The bagpipes were absolutely beautiful and he was great to work with! I highly recommend him for any wedding, party, etc! His touch made my wedding so beautiful. -- Meredith H, Brentwood, TN, 3/10/2012
  • Mr. Boswell was the consummate professional. Before the funeral, he contacted me and gave me several options for the performance. He then coordinated with several others who had roles in the funeral service to make sure everything ran smoothly. He arrived for the performance early, just in case we needed him before the appointed time, and then performed a beautiful tribute to the deceased. His rate was reasonable, especially in light of the skill he demonstrated. I would strongly recommend Mr. Boswell to those looking for a piper. -- Jason M, Joelton, TN, 2/25/2012
  • Todd was wonderful and very accommodating, even in the heat. He touched the hearts of my family and friends. We appreciated him very much. -- Marylin M, Nashville, TN, 6/25/2011
  • Todd was prepared and professional. His presentation, music, attire and performance was exceptional. We had several comments from guests, who have attended previous graduations,recognizing that he was a "new" to FCS and complimenting him on his regalia and performance. We plan on hiring Todd for future events. -- Jeff D, Franklin, TN, 5/28/2011
  • Todd - Thank you so much for being there yesterday. The bagpipes remind me of my grandmother and mother and while sad, they are so meaningful in our lives. It touched my heart that my son wanted them there for the funeral. I hope we can hear you play again at a happier time. Your playing made the graveside ceremony so much warmer than it would have been without you. Warmest Regards, Susan Collins -- Susan C, Hermitage, TN, 3/22/2011
  • Todd was very professional, compassionate and all around wonderful. -- Mildred W, Monteagle, TN, 2/12/2011
  • Todd helped make Kedra's wedding very memorable. We are so glad he was able to play for us. We could not have had a better experience. Thank you Todd -- Lunette P, Franklin, TN, 1/22/2011
  • Awesome! -- Elizabeth B, Clarksville, TN, 5/14/2011
  • I knew Todd Boswell was the perfect choice from the second I saw him. He looks very impressive in his kilt and other finery. It was more impressive than I had hoped for. He played beautifully and everytime I see someone who attending the wedding, they always mention him and how wonderful the bagpipes were. It really helped to make my sons wedding a truly memorable event. People will be talking about the beautiful wedding we had for a very long time. Everyone I have spoken to said it was the most wonderful and memorable wedding they've ever attended. -- Susan K, Owensboro, KY, 11/13/2010
  • Very professional and friendly. Was there in plenty of time and just made the ceremony so special. I would reccomend hime to anyone looking to add a little something to to your event. Thank you so much Todd! -- Emily C, Athens, AL, 10/10/2010
  • Todd made our wedding complete!!! It becomes so stressful trying to find just the right fit, let alone trying to book someone off of the internet!! Todd was a Godsend!!! He is so talented and such a delight to work with!! EVERYONE was raving!!!! -- Victoria B, Sewanee, TN, 8/7/2010
  • I hired Todd for our wedding as a surprise for my fiance. Todd went out of his way to keep the surprise as well as hiding out in the ladies restroom :) Not only was Todd very professional but he was extremely friendly. He wanted to help make our day special and it was. I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Todd for any event. -- Jennifer M, Dickson, TN, 9/26/2010
  • Todd did a amazing job I would recommend him to everyone I know. He was very nice and made our wedding very special thanks again Todd -- Daniel H, Portland, TN, 5/8/2010
  • Everything was absolutely fantastic! I almost wish I could redo the entire ceremony so that I could listen to him play again. -ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! -- Chelsi C, Cadiz, KY, 4/10/2010
  • Todd was wonderful! He was cooperative, supportive, fun and classy. His pictures don't do him justice. He made our son's wedding an experience that no person attending will forget. He and the pipes were such a "presence". I am so glad that we had Todd in our wedding party. Thank you for making it possible. -- Celia R, Petersburg, TN, 2/14/2010
  • Todd's performance was impeccable. His presence lent such a feeling of tradition and heritage. All the guests were very impressed as were we. He felt like a member of the wedding party. We have few great photos also. -- Deborah W, Pembroke, KY, 12/5/2009
  • Todd was amazing, I can't go on enough about him and his performance. I highly recommend him, you could not get a more professional, kind, and talented musician. He was definitely one of the most important parts of our wedding, to say the least. Aside from his amazing skill, he was so nice to everyone, took the time to explain the bagpipes to the kiddos, and it honestly felt like he was part of the family. Many, many thanks Todd, and continued blessings to you and yours! You made our day. Slainte! -- Sandra S, Mount Juliet, TN, 7/17/2009
  • Todd was truely a professional in all respects and a lovely person to boot! We chatted to him after the wedding and it is obvious he loves to play the pipes. I wish we had had him play more. Hopefully we will get a chance to hear him again. Let us know if you ever record anything Todd! Regards Maureen and Foy Hester -- Maureen H, Hendersonville, TN, 6/20/2009
  • We had Todd play at our wedding ceremony. He did a wonderful job and everyone enjoyed his music! He is also very helpful in offering suggestions for the ceremony! I highly recommend him! Thanks so much! -- Shelly H, Sewanee, TN, 10/17/2009
  • He is an excellent piper and a great part of our wedding! -- Deitra D, Brentwood, TN, 7/18/2009
  • Such a pleasant person to deal with. Very kind and helpful. -- Deborah L, Franklin, TN, 6/13/2009
  • We had several people with ties to Scotland at our daughter's wedding. It was wonderful to see the emotion that Todd's bagpipes brought to the surface! We would hire him again in a second! Thanks, Todd! The Van Driest family -- Leah V, Franklin, TN, 4/25/2009
  • Todd's performance was wonderful! My father's funeral ceremony was complete with the excellent bagpipe performance. -- Jeanie N, Hendersonville, TN, 4/22/2009
  • Everything went perfectly with Todd playing during my wedding. We got so many compliments on how beautiful the bagpipes sounded. Great Job!! -- Brie R, Huntsville, AL, 3/29/2009
  • Todd's performance was absolutely amazing. Our guests are still ranting and raving about how amazing he was. I must say that as a long time fan of the sound of a solo piper, never have I heard it played so well. Todd was truly instrumental in being the paramount suprise in our wedding, as the tears were held back prior to his appearance, the flood gates opened and even the manliest of men observing were emotionally moved by the sites and sounds of this celtic pleasure to see and hear. We owe Todd our greatest thanks as his abilities, personality, and showmanship are highly regarded by my wife and I as well as the 200 hundred guests that witnessed his playing. -- Phillip M, Nashville, TN, 10/25/2008
  • I wanted a bagpipe at my fathers funeral, so this was a last minute request and wasn't sure it would happen. Mr. Boswell called the morning of the funeral and needed details. Not being in a frame of mind to help, Mr. Boswell said that he would be there and talk with the military people to work out the details. I can't tell you what a relief this was. I can't say enough good things about Mr. Boswell. He handled everything on his end and it turned out beautiful. Thanks again. -- John H, Nashville, TN, 11/4/2008
  • If I could rate him higher, I would. Todd was terrific! He's an outstanding piper, but not just that; he's a wonderful person. Accommodating? We couldn't find the best man to witness the signing of the marriage certificate, so Todd did it for us!! -- Theresa M, Smithville, TN, 8/8/2008
  • Todd was such a blessing to the opening of the World Convention in Nashville. He led the processional of the Parade of Flags and was so inspirational. It was a joy to work with him. -- Ken Y, Nashville, TN, 7/30/2008
  • Todd was awesome! He appeared in full dress and played the bag pipes with true talent. A sure crowd pleaser. -- Collie D, Nashville, TN, 6/6/2008
  • I was looking for something special for our 10 year anniversary and my wife always loved to hear the bagpipes. Todd responded quickly to my request and answered any questions I had. Todd was very professional and accommodating to my needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone. -- John G, Burns, TN, 2/14/2008
  • Todd Boswell did a great job, everyone was pleased. Many completed on his skill. He made it an easy, yet wonderful addition to the ceremony. Thanks! -- Will P, Nashville, TN, 1/5/2008
  • He was awesome, he touched my heart and the heart of every lady present. -- Barbara S, Gordonsville, TN, 9/29/2007
  • Mr. Boswell was extremely prompt when answering my request to play at my grandfather's funeral. He was understanding and accommodating during the very stressful time when we were unsure of the exact arrangements. Once the arrangements were known (and were much sooner than we had anticipated), Mr. Boswell did not hesitate in agreeing to perform at the funeral service. The performance including the songs ("Flowers of the Forest" & "Amazing Grace"), the Scottish garb, and the timing during the service were absolutely perfect! It was exactly what my grandfather would have wanted. I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Boswell! -- Laura B, Hampshire, TN, 6/26/2007
