Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 20, 2016•From Burbank, CA
Eric brought a special element to our daughter's wedding. It was an unexpected surprise to our guests that they really enjoyed. It also allowed her family to acknowledge and celebrate her Scottish background as she moves forward on her new journey in her married life.
Thank you Eric for your unique talent, you are truly a wonderful musician.

He was fantastic and was very well received by all who attended our event ! I would certainly refer him to everyone I know !! Thanks Eric, you would have made my dad proud, but indeed you made us proud to honor him with your pipes as we said goodbye ~

Superb performer, very accomodating and friendly. He does take a while responding to emails because he's got a super busy schedule, but you'll hear from him when you need to.

My father was a memorable man, and with no disrespect to him, I can say that one of the most memorable parts of the service was Eric Rigler's bagpiper tribute. He captured the moment beautifully, and I feel grateful and lucky that I came across his profile on gigmasters.

He was so wonderful. Everyone at my husbands Celebration of Life Memorial Service enjoyed his musical talent to the fullest. My loving husband John, and guardian angel was smiling down from Heaven. So glad I was able to have Eric Riglers' bagpipe playing talent. Truly an honor to meet him, and thanks to David Kennedy for his recommendation.

What can I possibly say?
He made a horrible day, a little bit brighter for all of us.
My great grandmother of 94 yrs, died from old age and years of struggle with COPD. We were expecting that death, but it was a blow nonetheless. We automatically knew, with her being Scots-Irish, she would've loved to have bagpipes...
How incredibly lucky were we to get Eric? He was amazingly professional and emailed us every step of the way until the day arrived. He worked with us on our requests, and even went so far as to accept a very challenging song request and make it playable on his pipes. That one song meant everything, and he made it possible. DEFINITELY, hire Eric.

Eric Rigler played on the boat for my fathers sea burial. He was professional, exquisitely talented and mindful about his timing of songs. He accommodated a special request to play one song over and over even though it was a bit much to ask. He was also dressed beautifully in traditional regalia and he is straight out of central casting (the Irish would say very easy on the eyes!) Anyway his good looks are nothing in comparison to his exquisitely soulfilled-bagpiping and kind nature. The whole clan was VERY IMPRESSED! Thank You Eric!
Wedding•Reviewed on August 13, 2014•From Pacific Palisades, CA
Choosing a musician in the LA area can be daunting to say the least. After reading Eric's resume' we decided to get a quote from him. He instantly got back to us with a VERY reasonable quote. As the wedding approached, he was in contact with the bride to get the details in order.
On the day of the wedding, he was early and dressed professionally. He was hired for an hour and a half but as weddings go, it was running late. He was very gracious and gave us no concerns whatsoever. That helped reduce the stress of the evening.
When he played, it was beautiful, especially in the dining hall of the Bel-Air club.
I would highly recommend Eric.

Many of our guests raved about Eric's performance. We were very pleased. He was prompt, courteous, and his music was absolutely beautiful. We would recommend Eric to anyone. It was the first of many highlights on that day. Thank you Eric for adding such a special touch to the ceremony!! Well done!!

Eric was wonderful to work with! He was fast to respond and answered all my questions and concerns leading up to the even. On the day of the event, he was on time, prepared and blew everyone away with his talent at our daughter's baptism by the sea. He played AMAZING GRACE and there was not a dry eye. It simply would not have been the same powerful, unforgettable experience without his music. We hope to hire Eric again for a future event.

Amazing! Wish I could give him 20 stars. Our wedding ceremony was better than we thought it could be with him playing. Even though we were forced to have him play the ceremony instead of the reception, I think it turned out much better having him there. Family and friends all commented on how wonderful it as to hear his playing and were did we find him.
