Joel was everything I expected and more! He not only was talented and accomplished. He spent time and had conversation with many guests who were interested in bagpipes. He added to the event overall and I would highly recommend him!

Showed up an hour early. Dressed in full gear and bagpipes stood like a statue during a preachers long winded eulogy. He added so much class to my dad's funeral.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on August 28, 2017•From Phelan, CA

Joel was a pleasure to work with for our Dad's memorial. We wanted to keep this as fun and joyful as possible, and he made it that way. Showed up earlier than requested and did some very fun, interesting and most of all entertaining performances vocally and on his pipes. All our guests really enjoyed it and he was friendly and had conversations with many. To finalize our memorial he played a compilation of music at our makeshift site. Was the best we could ever hope for: It was hot, it was outdoors, it was windy. He didn't stop! I would recommend him without question. Semper Fidelis!

Thank you for your kind words, Mike. Yes, it was hot and dusty, but I firmly believe that we all had a great time! What a wonderful way to celebrate the life of your father and what a great legacy he has left behind! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 24, 2017•From Irvine, CA

MarineSandpiper was beyond AWESOME. He learned the songs we requested and was an excellent performer. We hired him for our wedding, A Scottish affair where kilts abounded) and he showed up in his regalia, and piped his heart out. We also had him perform at our reception as a ROCK BAGPIPER. The crowd loved it! I highly recommend him for your event...you will love every minute of it!

Thank you for the great review, Valerie! That was a great wedding - Congratulations, once again! The reception was a blast! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Rock on, and FIGHT ON!!!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on June 30, 2017•From Newport Beach, CA

Joel is the "Bomb"! He is much more than a traditional piper. Joel is a multi-talented professional who sings, dances and puts on an awesome show. Our corporate event for about a hundred people was a smash hit, and a lot of credit goes to Joel who played for a solid 2 hours with out a break! Semper Fi,

Jerry, Thank you for your kind words and you, sir, are the bomb! I look forward to working with you again in the future. That was a lot of fun!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 16, 2017•From Anaheim, CA

Joel was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He showed up extraordinarily early, impeccably turned out in his traditional piper's garb, was gracious and kind with my guests and our wedding party, and performed seamlessly in my ceremony, which was held in a vastly untraditional venue (it didn't phase him a bit). By the end of my wedding, he truly felt like part of my family. I would highly recommend Joel for any event in which you need a skilled, personable and professional bagpiper.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 1, 2017•From San Diego, CA

Joel was fantastic. He was accessible for questions before the party and prompt to respond. We told him the mood we were looking for and left the music selection up to him. It was perfect. He came early, dressed to the hilt, and ready to plan our surprise entry strategy. I felt confident leaving the rest to him. He was great, personable and quick to fit in. Our party guests nearly collapsed the deck dancing to one of his gigs.

Funeral•Reviewed on May 19, 2017•From Fullerton, CA

Marinesandpiper was very professional yet friendly. He looked wonderful in his kilt and sporran. He is very talented on his bagpipe and even did requests. All in all, a very satisfactory addition to our funeral. Thank you so much!,

Thank you so much for playing at my father’s memorial service. Your music made the service so special and was the perfect tribute to Dad. I appreciated both your music and professionalism. You touched every one there…not only because you are an accomplished musician, but your music comes from your heart. Also, thank you for your service to our country. You are truly a person that makes a difference in this world. Diane Weigel

Thank you for your kind words, Diane! It was my absolute honor to play final honors for your father. Semper Fidelis!

March 31,2017 Joel was very helpful and knowledgeable about my Dads service at Riverside National. He helped me understand the process my very first contact with him to the day of the service. He did absolutely wonderful and his ability to play left many emotions as he knew exactly how to be a part of the entire services. Thank you so very much for being a part of laying my dad to rest and THANK YOU also for serving our Country. Tammie (Brady) Alonzo and Family

Joel was an outstanding performer, he was early to the event, engaged with our guests and overall did a wonderful job and helped make our event top-notch. THANK YOU JOEL DANIEL!!!!

Thank you, Stacy! It was a pleasure to do my thing for you and your residents. I'm glad all of you dug it! I still think you should strap on a pair of skates and start playing roller derby! ;) Hopefully, we'll be able to do this again! Joel

If I could give him 10+ stars I would. Very professional, impeccably dressed, highly talented bag piper, wonderful personality, big heart. We were very impressed with the marinesandpiper. Best part of our memorial hands down. I would highly recommended him for any event. Such a pleasure.

Stacey, Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your family - even if it was only for the afternoon. Joel
