Feedback
- Mr. O'Brien proved to be a very professional and talented performer who gave a wonderful performance in honor of my mother's funeral ceremony.. Not only did he give an outstanding performance of my requested songs (Amazing Grace, and Scotland the Brave), he also performed a lovely, and event-suitable selection of music via a most respectful and respected performance. Mr. O'Brien allowed me to give my mother a beautiful send-off that I know she would love, and he also gave her friends and family a wonderful memory as well. Many thanks Kevin, and all the best.

- Booked at the last minute, Kevin arrived early and was playing in the church parking lot, when I arrived for my friends memorial service.
He played in the parking lot for close to 30 minutes, as people arrived. He led the family into the church with Amazing Grace and then quietly slipped out. He was then right there on queue to lead the family out, (going home) and then played in the parking lot as people left. I would happily recommend Kevin and will use him again if I need a piper. A very kind man, who was extremely empathetic of the situation.
THANKYOU. -- Elaine B, Linthicum Heights, MD, 1/30/2011
- Kevin was terrific. He worked with me to plan a small concert as a surprise for my Dad's 80th. He was very accommodating to last minute changes in time. He entered with the pipes, played a perfect selection of tunes on the small pipes (I think that's the right term), and all were great. It came off even better than I could have hoped. Kevin's talent, professionalism, and warmth made this a really, really special evening. I haven't seen my Dad so toe-tapping happy in ages -- that was a gift for him, and a gift for me. -- Katia G, Washington, DC, 10/15/2011
- Mr. Obrien did a wonderful and prfessional job for us. My family will always remember and thank him for that day. -- Jim T, Forest Hill, MD, 11/4/2011
- We decided to surprise our guests at the ceremony with a bagpiper. Kevin O'Brien was absolutely the perfect fit for this part of the wedding! He remained in contact with us, offered us suggestions, and accomodated all of our requests. All of our family and friends were absolutely stunned by him - and many thought that it made the wedding that much more perfect! Maybe more importantly, Jeff and I thought that it contributed to our perfect day! I would recommend him to everyone! -- Jennifer C, Gettysburg, PA, 11/19/2011
- We hired Mr. O'Brien for a funeral. He was prompt and presented a professional appearance. He played a good appropriate song selection. I would recommend him for your event. -- Charles C, Bel Air, MD, 1/9/2012
- Kevin was wonderful and perfect. He sounded great, looked great and was outstanding. -- Michael C, Alexandria, VA, 2/10/2012
- Kevin O'Brien was SPECTACULAR from start to finish. He sent me a cd of his work, shortly after booking, so I could use it to select pieces to be played during our wedding. He was OUTSTANDING at our wedding! He was on time, dressed in complete piper regalia and his playing added JUST the right touch to our Irish-Scottish St. Patrick's Day wedding. I cannot recommend him highly enough, he was THAT GOOD. You will not be disappointed in booking this charming, warm, talented bagpiper! -- Jennifer O, Arlington, VA, 3/17/2012
- Kevin was wonderful. He was prompt for his sound check and ready to go from the moment he walked in the door. Kevin truly added a lost element to this annual event. His playing of the bag pipes and shuttle pipes were truly magnificent! He is an incredible talent and we loved having him! -- Natalie S, North East, MD, 3/24/2012
- Kevin was amazing! He arrived early and played the whole time! Our Wedding ceremony was down at a lake and we asked that after the service guests follow Kevin up to happy hour. Which was up a steep hill and a long set of stairs. Im not sure how but Kevin played the whole way up to the top! Then during cocktail hour he played! It was amazing. I would highly recommend Kevin for any event.
Im hoping that I filled out the stars above correctly - I give Kevin all 5's
