Reviews of Irish / Scottish Entertainment available in Richmond

5/5 from 202 reviews
Photo of The Devil's Tailors The Devil's Tailors "The Devil's Tailors were fantastic. They were easy to work with and helped make our wedding event one to remember. They traveled all the way to Arizona from the east coast. I was grateful for their effort and desire to do it at a reasonable price. Everyone loved the bagpipes and the dancing with the fiddle and the piano. They called out the dances while everyone participated and everyone learned how to do them easily. Everyone was anticipating the next number when they could do it again. I definitely recommend using The Devil's Tailors for your next event. If you are thinking about having Scottish dancing at your event, but don't know if it would be fun, I will tell you to book them right now. It is an amazing time. And if you have had Scottish dancing before, The Devil's Tailors will do a wonderful job." Based in Alexandria, Virginia (89 miles from Richmond) Jamie Williams - Wedding Photo of Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell Bagpiper: Robert Mitchell "Robert Mitchell was very sensitive to our wish for a softer sound in the church and used the border pipes. He was extremely professional, worked well with the organist and pianist, and provided a lovely Irish touch to my daughter's wedding. Afterwards, he played the bagpipes outside while everyone gathered to greet the new couple with bubbles as they hopped into their limo. In addition, he provided a transition to the reception by playing the bagpipes outside the entrance. We are thankful to Robert and heard many positive comments about him from our guests."
