Kristin Harrington Georgina Shaw's Funeral, 12/20/04
"Thank you so much for braving the traffic, snow, and frigid temperatures today. Your presence at my grandmother's funeral made it such a memorable and special day. My family and I were so thankful that you were able to make it. It is a real testament to you that you were able to get the pipes to play so beautifully in below zero temperatures.
Hearing the sound of the pipes made everyone remember my
grandmother's life rather than her passing. I was a nice surprise to hear
"Scotland the Brave" as you were leaving. Right after the services we were all
talking about how my grandma would have been tapping her feet and humming to the
music. Everyone was so impressed with how the pipes sounded. I don't think any
words could describe how much we all appreciated how beautifully you
played. You are a true professional.
If you need any recommendations, feel free to have anyone contact me at:
k.harrington@eaglehill.org as I
wouldn't hesitate to give you glowing recommendations."
Louis Gaudio / Erika Fuery 10/2/04, Greenmanville Church, Mystic Seaport, Mystic, CT
"Thank you so much for helping to make our wedding day a truly special event. Louis and I could not have been more delighted to hear the sound of pipes as we approached the church. We have received numerous compliments regarding our ceremony and everyone has commented about how wonderful the bagpipers were. You are truly a professional and your presence helped make our day an incredibly wonderful and joyous occasion. Please feel free to use us as a personal reference as we would recommend your services to anyone without hesitation."
Tracy Castle / Andrew Newman 8/02, Kent CT.
"Both Andy and I had chills when you started coming down the aisle to meet us playing Highland Cathedral. It gave me tears of joy. Then as you reached the
altar and did a quick turn and started playing Scotland the Brave, we were filled with even greater joy. Both songs were perfect and played so
beautifully. It is one part of the ceremony that will stay in my memory forever!"
Amy & Rico Calcitrai, 9/02 Fox Hill Inn, Brookfield CT.

"You sounded perfect as you played . . . You were
very professional and nicely dressed, extremely friendly and outgoing, and
genuinely pleased to offer you services for our special day.
Thank you very much for helping to make our wedding day the happiest day of our lives!! I would like to provide my email address, aimster100@aol.com so anyone would like to contact me for a recommendation, I would offer one with no reservations" Amy & Rico Calcitrai |
