Save musicians, entertainers, speakers, and services, and they’ll appear here.
I play at everything from weddings and birthday parties to funerals and 5ks! I've been playing the bagpipes for over 11 years. I have a repertoire of over 25 of the most common and traditional Celtic tunes that everyone loves! I'm always willing to learn new tunes to fit your needs.
Amanda is a fantastic bagpiper and very sweet person. We had a glitch with her arriving at the predetermined time and we didn’t get the effect of bagpipes playing for the party entrances (which was the main reason for booking) but she did wow everyone at the party once she arrived.
I appreciated her playing Happy Birthday, too.
All in all, I would have given her five stars but I was disappointed that she arrived an hour late.
Amanda was so sweet and friendly. She worked well with the other musician to get the sound level and placement right. Amanda donated her services at my sister's funeral after she'd read her story, even though she'd never met her!!
She is a wonderful person. I will have her back to any event I plan that bagpipes will fit in!!!
Amanda was simply wonderful to work with, she was easy and prompt to communicate with throughout the entire process and all the guests loved her! She's a master of the bagpipes and knows a wide range of tunes - I highly recommend her for your next event!
Amanda was fantastic to deal with. From the beginning, she was incredibly quick to respond, and very happy to provide suggestions for music choices for our wedding. She was willing to work with my wants for the music to be played. Despite some less than ideal weather, Amanda arrived promptly as promised, and performed beautifully. She truly added an authentic Celtic touch to our wedding ceremony.
She was on time and ready to go for my wedding. She paid attention to what we wanted, gave great suggestions, and made the experience one to remember!
Amanda did a fantastic job. Couldn’t be any happier with the outcome. With every song she was on point. My wife and I highly recommend her.
Amanda Was Great !

Miss Baughman was very professional and personable. Her playing made the memorial classy. We are looking forward to the next time.
Amanda was a DELIGHT. I was able to hire her to surprise my dear friend for her 40th birthday. She was a BREEZE to coordinate with, even from a different time zone. Her performance was well-loved by my friend and her kids (and pets) who were all entranced.
Leah and her family will remember this fondly for a very long time, and so will I. Amanda was so special, and I'm glad I hired her!!!
Amanda was fantastic! She played beautifully at my father's graveside service and it was just what I needed to say goodbye. Amanda is VERY easy to work with! Highly recommended!
We booked Amanda for our St. Patrick's Day party. We didn't tell anyone she was coming and it was such a great surprise! All of the guests loved her performance and she even stayed a while afterwards to mingle. We would absolutely have her again.
Amanda drove 90 minutes to attend the inaugural 5K for our charity. Depsite the cold & windy conditions, which affected expected turnout, Amanda was enthusiastic & happy to play. She played God Bless America to start the 5K & various Celtic music throughout the run as participants came by. All in attendance loved Amanda's playing of the bagpipes. Amanda communicated leading up to the event, offering recommendations for music to be played. I look forward to hiring Amanda again & highly recommend her. Many thanks Amanda!
Amanda played at my husband's funeral services she did a amazing job and kept in contact with me regarding any information she needed! I would highly recommended her
Thank you Amanda!
Amanda arrived, setup and provided piper tunes for our "Not Faire" mini MD RenFaire replacement.
She is friendly, and provides information on bagpipe training, experiences.
Wonderful afternoon with Amanda and friends.
I cannot praise Amanda enough. She went above and beyond for us, tracking down music and learning new songs that my father had requested. She was delightful to work with, prompt ,professional and extremely talented. She was an important part of our celebration of life service for my mother and enjoyed by all of us.
Did a great job.
Due to Coronavirus the wedding was postponed
Amanda played at the burial of a dear friend. The family was so pleased and could not stop complementing on how beautifully she played Amazing Grace.
I contacted Amanda less then 48 of when I wanted her to play at my fathers memorial service. Amanda was outstanding, and very professional all fo the family and friends I'm attendance commented on the bagpipes and how beautiful they sounded. Amanda ended the session with Amazing Grace fading away from the chapel it could not have been done any better. I am looking forward to booking Amanda for functions in the future.
Amanda was excellent; she played for my brother-in-law’s funeral. We weren’t sure what music was appropriate, as my sister is Catholic and he was Jewish. Amanda researched songs and made beautiful selections. Her musical acumen was fabulous. I am looking forward to a happy event where she can play again for us. Highly recommend!
After a 3 1/2 month battle with cancer, my wife took her last breath. Amanda paid her a farewell "Amazing Grace" that left everyone silent. Truly a wonderful service.
Response from Bagpipes by Amanda Baughman:
Kevin,
Thank you for the kind words. It was a pleasure to bring a degree of comfort to you and your family during such a sad time in the loss of your wife. Your family remains in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Amanda
Our family was blessed to have Amanda for our mother’s graveside service. She arrived early and was very courteous as we started a little later than expected due to lost travelers. Amanda played our selected songs beautifully and added special meaning to our service. I’m sure our mother was rejoicing in heaven. Attendees at the service commented on how beautiful the bagpiper and music was. So happy to find Amanda on the internet. Will definitely refer Amanda to others and for our special occasions in the future. Carol
Amanda did a great job presenting her bagpipes. The students were engaged and loved hearing the songs she played.
What a Bonny Lass! Amanda was picture perfect in full Highlander dress. She knew just the perfect music to play at just the right time Her playing set a mood for each moment of our funeral and even when not playing, her strong presence added dignity and warmth.
We couldn't be happier or luckier to have found Amanda to play for our family's funeral. She drove over 2-1/2 hours to be with us, and played longer than the allotted time. She was lovely, professional, and we so appreciated finding her so we could have this special element, which provided the perfect backdrop to our family's gathering together. Thank you to Amanda and to Gigsalad.
Response from Bagpipes by Amanda Baughman:
Andy,
I can't thank you enough for your kind words. Your family couldn't have been more wonderful and pleasant to work with. I truly appreciated the COLD water your family offered me on that beautiful sunny, although hot day. I consider myself truly blessed that I was able to offer the special element that your family was looking for, and for that I'll drive any distance to do that which I love so much. I know that your mother was with us that day, and I hope that she enjoyed my music just as the rest of your family did. It was truly a pleasure to meet you and be a part of that special day for your family.
Sincerely,
Amanda
Bagpipes by Amanda Baughman
Amanda's music was a great addition to our church's centennial celebration worship service. We really enjoyed the bagpipes! We look forward to working with her again in the future!
Response from Bagpipes by Amanda Baughman:
Mrs. Fine,
I'm glad you enjoyed my bagpipe music, and I'm truly honored that I was able to be a part of such a historical moment in your church's history! I won't soon forget it! Your congregation is wonderful and welcoming, and I look forward to playing at the Camp Hill Presbyterian Church again soon!
Amanda was great!! Everyone loved her playing- many compliments - she was so nice and very professional - we loved her!!!
Response from Bagpipes by Amanda Baughman:
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was truly an honor to play for your daughter's wedding. The ceremony was absolutely beautiful, and she was even more radiant. And what a unique venue!
I hope everyone had a wonderful night, and I wish the bride and groom a lifetime of happiness together!
Cheers,
Amanda
She was very professional, played Amazing Grace at the cemetery, the family was very happy.

You can expect me to work with you to provide you the most quality service possible, whether you just need me to play "Amazing Grace" for a memorial ceremony, or you need an hour worth of entertainment for a wedding or party. If you're not sure exactly how much bagpipe music you'd like or need, I'd be happy to work with you to help you decide, as well!
Amanda Baughman is a bagpiper serving the Central PA and Lehigh Valley areas for over 10 years. She's played for all sorts of events, from funerals to 5ks! She'd be happy to work with you to bring that special flair to your event that only a bagpiper can provide!
The beauty of the bagpipes is they're not hard to work with at all in terms of sound. A single bagpiper is perfect for both small and large events alike and can be heard well with no additional sound equipment both indoors and outdoors. The only place I DON'T recommend having a bagpiper play is in a smaller room, as the bagpipes are very loud and can be overwhelming to guests. However, don't let that deter you! I'd be happy to work with you to accommodate any of your musical needs!
