We wanted our wedding to really be a combination of my Filipino culture and my husband’s Irish culture. Thom made our ceremony entrance and exit absolutely memorable. Definitely recommend!
Amazing , amazing , amazing ! Thom was an absolute pleasure to work with! Communication was very quick and efficient. I changed my mind and wanted to add in a drummer and he was quick to get a colleague to make that happen. My guests loved his music and they both did an amazing job! Recommend him for your next event !
I can’t say enough about Thom. His name literally speaks for itself, the kindest and happiest person ever! He played so beautifully at our wedding. He welcomed our guests as they arrived, performed our recessional and escorted our guests to cocktail hour. Do not hesitate to contact him, we so overjoyed to have him as a part of our day!
wish we could give more stars!!! Look no further than the happy bagger for your wedding or next event. We had the happy bagger play as guests entered our church wedding ceremony and as we made our grand exit. He was amazing!! He played beautiful Irish traditional wedding bagpipe music. It brought me ( the bride) & many of our guests to tears!! Not only is his music beautiful-he was very professional, personable and accommodating from the very first encounter when inquiring about booking. We had the perfect wedding ceremony and couldn’t have done it without him! We will definitely recommend to other friends and family!
Thom the Happy Bagpiper was fabulous! He made our daughter's wedding so special. We had to move the wedding from Saturday to Friday with very little notice because of covid shutdowns. We called Thom , hoping and praying he could do the new date( less than 24 hrs notice) and he happily said I will be there. I can't thank him enough for that. He plays beautifully and made this Scottish Mama very happy. The guests loved it. I would highly recommend The Happy Bagpiper. Thank you again!
Thom brings a level of playing professionalism, and warm nature that cannot be matched. He is extremely accommodating, and eases the stress that occurs on the big day. Any great wedding would be even better with his presence and stellar performance! I offer my absolute highest recommendation!
We wanted something special for our wedding that people wouldn't expect---something that would be fun but classy for our official first entrance as a couple. Walking out to Thom's bagpipes was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.
Thom was on time and dressed to impress. He was easy to work with throughout the process and brought our vision into reality. Guests were very surprised, and they loved it!
Thom Moore is a true professional and a great guy. I can't recommend him enough!
