Response from Biloxi Belle Piper:
Melinda,
Thank you for having me and y’all were such a kind and fun group. I wished I could have met your friend and know she’ll be missed by a lot of people. There was a beautiful turnout yesterday and I’m honored to have been a part.
Take care,
Elizabeth the Biloxi Belle Piper
Delightful performance. Very professional and personable. She\ll be invited to return next year!
Very, very easy to work with, courteous, friendly, on-time, and and did a fantastic job of playing for our rehearsal dinner party guests in Fairhope, Alabama. Would not hesitate to reserve “The Belle” again. Bravo, or in this case Slange’
The Biloxi Belle Piper was amazing. She was gracious and professional, and worked with us (even guided us) on when in the ceremony she should play. My mother's Celebration of Life Ceremony was heartfelt and memorable because of her.
If you're considering having a bagpipe player at your event, I highly recommend the Biloxi Belle Piper.
We needed a bagpiper on short notice for my father's grave-side service. As I had never had any experience setting these things up I was nervous as how to proceed - however - BBP was absolutely fantastic. She had enough experience to know exactly when and what to do without me having to say (or know) a thing. All of the music was beautiful and she was happy to play the songs requested.
Response from Biloxi Belle Piper:
Brandon,
It was my honor. ♥️
Mrs. Doss performed Amazing Grace on the bagpipes at my brothers memorial. It was truly a fantastic performance and there was not a dry eye in the Chapel. She did a awesome job and we very fortunate to have her, Thanks Elizabeth.
Response from Biloxi Belle Piper:
It was my honor to play for such a man with such an incredible journey. God’s blessing upon your family,
Elizabeth
The Biloxi Belle Piper did not disappoint!! Elizabeth elevated a special 98th birthday to an unforgettable one. My mama teared up when she heard "Happy Birthday" played as the kilt-clad piper marched into the party. Even the rowdy great grandkids stood still and listened! Elizabeth followed up with traditional Scottish tunes and answered questions from party guests. Even though the day was warm, she was dressed in full bagpiper regalia, making her visit that much more special! She was delightful!!!
Response from Biloxi Belle Piper:
Thank you for the kind words. Your mother is precious and her smiles warmed my heart. Blessings to your beautiful family. -Elizabeth

You added so much to our father's graveside service with your beautiful music and your gracious presence.
We appreciate everything about the way you helped us plan the music, your great communications, and your being willing to be there even with potential storms forecast. We loved meeting you and hearing you play and hope to see you again sometime. Blessings and peace.
I cannot put into words the professionalism and personalized experience with this young lady! My attending party were VERY IMPRESSED as were me and my bride. Our experience will always be chiseled in our memories of our wedding day. An most easy word of advice to others would be is to hire “Biloxi Belle Bagpiper” for any celebration!!! VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!!!! xo (1/21/21)
She was a pleasure to work with and she is very good on the bag pipes. It meant a lot to have her play for my late husband.

Thank you for the kind review. It was a pleasure meeting your family and I’m glad I was able to honor your husband’s heritage.
Elizabeth was on time and extremely friendly. Her performance of music was spot on and excellent. I would highly recommend her for any type of event. She was hired to play at a Marine Corps Birthday Celebration and blew everyone away with how wonderful she was.

Thank you for the kind words. It was an honor to play for such a fine group of people. I truly enjoyed myself and meeting everyone.
She was on time and performed well. Daddy would have been so happy.

All I can say about Biloxi Belle Piper is that she is perfect and wonderful! I would highly recommend her for any function you want a piper for. My husband is from Scotland, his children came over for the wedding and said she was outstanding and better than most of the Pipers they have heard in Scotland. Thank You Biloxi Belle for being part of our special day
Response from Biloxi Belle Piper:
It was an honor and your family is perfectly lovely. Congratulations!
Very nice and was able to accomidate the needs I had. Will most likely rehire for future events.
I booked the Belle way ahead of the event with a sketchy date to give. Our communications were spot on and she performed like a warrior. Everyone loved the line up of pipe tunes. Her uniform was perfect and tidy. She offered exactly what we were looking for. Priced right and well worth the hiring. I do Highly suggest this piper for any event. Cheers!
Response from Biloxi Belle Piper:
It was an honor to play for this event and thank you for the kind review. Best wishes, Elizabeth
We had had her at a party a few years ago and she was just wonderful again. Prompt, friendly and the music was everything we had hoped for. We would deffinetly use her again.
Response from Biloxi Belle Piper:
It was a fun time and I enjoyed meeting your lovely family. Thank you for your kindness.
Did a wonderful performance playing the pipes at our father's memorial service including the song "Amazing Grace" which really gave an emotionally moving feeling to the service. She was also very professional, responsive and easy to work with. Highly recommend.

If you require a tune that I don’t know, I will learn it for you with enough advance notice. The bagpipe has a range of only 9 notes so there are many tunes that don't fit the pipes.
No equipment is typically needed. Bagpipes have one volume...loud!
