Review by Sean B.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 12, 2016•From Scottsdale, AZ

We were so happy that we had Eric Landau perform at our wedding. From the get go, Eric was very thorough in in all aspects of his performance. He gave us complete flexibility on our song choices whilst providing great recommendation. Eric even has a number of pipers outfits that he lets you choose for your event. Any questions we had, Eric was very prompt in his swift reply over phone or email, he really made it an ease free process. Most importantly our guests were blown away by Eric's performance and had some of our guests in tears of joy. Eric performed for one hour meaning his performance carried through to our cocktail hour. I give Eric 5 stars out of 5!

:

Sean, thank you for the detailed review! It was my pleasure to plan the bagpipe musical segments for the wedding ceremony and start of the cocktail hour with you and Cassie, exclusively utilizing selected Irish tunes to reflect your heritage. I'm also happy to learn that my performance was so well received by your guests. I hope that you and Cassie have a wonderful life together! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Memorial Service•Reviewed on May 13, 2017•From Phoenix, AZ

Eric was a wealth of knowledge during a difficult time. We very much appreciated his advice as we prepared for my father's funeral. The music before and after the service was a perfect addition to our event.

:

Thank you, Teri. It is always an honor to be of service during a fellow veteran's committal service at the National Cemetery. That's even more the case when the opportunity presents to help resolve uncertainties and ease family members' stress about the ceremonial arrangements. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Joan P.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 6, 2019•From Phoenix, AZ

We had a great experience with having Eric come and play bagpipes for our wedding! He communicated very well with us in the advance planning. He was on time, very polite, his music was wonderful. Our guests loved him and he was exactly what we wanted for our ceremony. Thank you Eric and yes, I would refer him to anyone looking for a very talented musician.

:

Joan, thank you for the great review. Taking the time to help clients with detailed advance planning always pays a hefty dividend! My best wishes to you and Don for a long life together. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Mario V.

Wedding•Reviewed on April 24, 2018•From Chandler, AZ

I couldn't be happier with the professionalism and quality of Eric's performance. Our guests of 200 loved what he did and how much he added to our wedding. he was very helpful in making sure timelines and expectations where met. Needless to say, he helped make our wedding one people won't forget. We are thankful and appreciative for all he did!

I'm always happy to hear that my contribution was well received by my wedding clients and their guests! It was a pleasure to work with you on the planning, Mario. All the best! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Kassie W.

Family Reunion•Reviewed on November 5, 2017•From Phoenix, AZ

Eric arrived early for our party. He was dressed in Scottish attire from head to toe! Everyone enjoyed his talent for playing the bagpipes. An additional plus was his willingness to pose for pictures and to explain how the bag pipe was played to the children. I highly recommend Eric for any event! He was a delight!

:

Kassie, thank you for the kind review. I always enjoy doing backyard parties, including showing kids (and often adults) how the bagpipe works. It was my special pleasure to entertain for this big reunion of your extended Scottish family! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Jacqueline M.

Community Event•Reviewed on November 12, 2019•From Mesa, AZ

Eric did an awesome job!! He came on time and ready to go. We will call upon him again for future events that will be held at our community. He was accommodating and Played BEAUTIFULLY. I highly recommend Eric. Jacqueline at Silver Spur Village.

:

Thanks, Jacqueline. It was a privilege to perform for your residents at the community's first annual Veterans Day observance!

Review by Kevin P.

Funeral•Reviewed on April 8, 2017•From Scottsdale, AZ

Eric appeared at the venue on time, was very professional and enhanced the memorial service with his excellent bag piping playing. I would highly recommend Eric for any occasion which may call for the involvement of a bag pipe player!

:

Thank you, Kevin. I'm glad that among the service, the balloon release and the entry into the reception, we were able to tastefully find a place for every one of the tunes which the family requested. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Laura P.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 9, 2019•From Scottsdale, AZ

Eric was professional and amazing! His music was outstanding. Thank you for making our wedding day extra special. I’d highly recommend him.

:

Laura, it was a lot of fun to add a traditional Scottish element to your wedding ceremony, and then for your entrance with Paul to the reception! I often include a quiet background tune on the parlor pipes during a unity candle lighting or sand ceremony, but this was my first one doing so during a tartan sash pinning. Nice to see at least four others, including Paul, in perfectly worn kilted attire!

Review by Alyzza B.

Convention•Reviewed on July 26, 2019•From Phoenix, AZ

Eric was great! He helped us pick the best tunes for our show, everyone enjoyed his performance. Would definitely recommend Eric and if we are ever back in the area we will use Eric's services again!

:

Thanks, Alyzza. It was fun to work with you and help make the D.A.R.E. International Training Conference opening ceremony come off as planned for both the police officers and the many youngsters in attendance! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Lynn B.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on May 10, 2017•From Phoenix, AZ

Thank you Eric, your music was a beautiful and touching contribution to my brother's service. We all appreciated you being there.

You're welcome, Lynn. Thanks for letting me offer some suggestions beforehand to help with the planning, and for selecting me to be a part of this intimate family gathering. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Jeremiah G.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 25, 2016•From Paradise Valley, AZ

We were especially pleased with Eric in his flexibility to our schedule. We originally had given him the wrong timeframe and that caused a potential conflict. Eric worked with us and a compromise was set up that worked beautifully. Without hesitation, we would recommend Eric and Bagpipes of Amazing Grace.

:

Thanks. I'm glad to have been able to re-arrange the day's commitment schedule in order to perform at your daughter's wedding reception! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Darren T.

Eric was terrific! Mingled with our guest and really worked the party.

:

Thanks Darren, your big St. Patrick's Day party was a lot of fun! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Mark H.

Funeral•Reviewed on January 18, 2018•From Sun City West, AZ

We appreciated Eric's friendly and compassionate preparation. His performance of Amazing Grace and other songs was heartfelt and appreciated. We highly recommend him.

:

Mark, thank you for your kind and generous comments. I was happy to intercede on your behalf with the church's coordinator and the funeral director regarding the bagpiping content for your stepdad's service, prior to your arrival from Florida. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Michele S.

Church Service•Reviewed on October 30, 2018•From Surprise, AZ

Eric was timely to respond to my initial contact and very through in continued communication about our service requirements. He was very pleasant and professional. Music was perfect. He is going in my permanent list of contract musicians for the valley.

:

Michelle, that is high praise coming from a music director! Thank you. As the pastor suggested, I look forward to returning in a year for your church's next Reformation Sunday service. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Cassandra U.

Community Event•Reviewed on April 30, 2017•From Fountain Hills, AZ

Eric was amazing to have leading our ceremony! Thank you so much!

:

Cassandra, it's rewarding for me to perform at the annual Relay for Life luminaria ceremony, benefiting the American Cancer Society. The personal satisfaction in doing so is undiminished even after leading that ceremony at area Relays since 2001! I'm looking forward to returning again next year, as you've requested. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by John F.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on November 18, 2017•From Phoenix, AZ

He did a fantastic job and I would recommend him to anyone.

:

John, thank you for making the arrangements. I do lots of of church, fancy catering hall and country club weddings but I enjoy the backyard ones like your friends' the most. Bagpiping especially makes an impact in those simpler settings. Bringing that to the wedding couple and their guests is a special reward for me! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Jill D.

Community Event•Reviewed on September 5, 2019•From Peoria, AZ

We hired Eric for our daughters wedding and he was fabulous! I would highly recommend Eric for any occasion you might need a bagpiper!

:

Thanks, Jill. I'm glad the surprise element for the groom worked out as planned, and I was happy to play some requested tunes afterwards for the Irish-American contingent of guests!

Review by Natalie H.

Private Party•Reviewed on June 11, 2017•From Phoenix, AZ

Very nice, considerate and professional. It was an honor having him share his talents at our event, we will definitely book again.

:

Thanks, Natalie. It's always a privilege being chosen to perform for a special gathering of family and friends. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Margie L.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on September 23, 2017•From Gilbert, AZ

Erik did a great job! He was very responsive and flexible with some changes that I had to make regarding the performance.

:

Margie, thank you for having me perform! I was happy to accommodate your changes in date and location, and enjoyed playing all those Irish tunes as a surprise for your mom and family! -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Debbie S.

Wedding•Reviewed on April 2, 2018•From San Tan Valley, AZ

I booked the Bagpipes of Amazing Grace for my daughter's wedding as a surprise for the groom. The bagpiper was extremely accommodating and helped keep the surprise. I was very pleased and have already passed his card along to a friend.

:

Debbie, thank you! I'm glad I was able to accommodate your requests, from planning the surprise aspect to wearing a kilt of the desired tartan, to adding a Welsh lullaby played on the quieter parlor pipes as background for the quaiche ceremony. All that added to the effect of the customary processionals and recessional on the Great Highland Bagpipe. Your new son-in-law was clearly appreciative of the planning necessary to make it happen. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Judith C.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 12, 2017•From Peoria, AZ

Wonderful time and great Piper!!

:

Judy, I had as much fun performing all those Scottish, Irish and patriotic American tunes for your husband and the party guests as you all did! Thanks for having me there. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Mary M.

Funeral•Reviewed on May 2, 2016•From Phoenix, AZ

The bagpipe Escort was very professional and did not interfere with the services at all. Music was perfect!

:

Thanks very much for the favorable review. It was a privilege to be entrusted with the bagpiping for your son's funeral. In my opinion, there is no higher calling for a bagpiper than to professionally provide a measure of musical solace for the bereaved. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by James T.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on June 1, 2018•From Mesa, AZ

Review by J.D. D.

Club Event•Reviewed on May 8, 2017•From Scottsdale, AZ

:

Thanks for the high ratings, J.D. It was something different and a lot of fun to chase you kilted golfers around two different courses in a golf cart, in order to play for your two-day tournament! Hope to do so again. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau

Review by Laura T.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on October 1, 2018•From Apache Junction, AZ

Our experience with gigmasters has been wonderful. Very easy payment . Hassle free . And for Mr. Landau , he was absolutely wonderful to work with and his musical talent is beyond words. All the family , especially my mom said the bagpipe music was beautiful. Exactly what my dad would have wanted.. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The family of David Hall

:

Laura, as we discussed, bagpiping is very traditional for law enforcement as well as for fire service and military people. I'm glad you and your family were pleased, and am particularly happy to have helped fulfill his wishes since he was a retired police chief. -- Pipe Major Eric Landau
