May 26, 2025Honestly 5 stars is not enough of a score for Catherine Pearce. I give her a 10........... Catherine is very professional and such a caring person.. I booked this for my Husband's memorial service from 300 miles away. Catherine responded and I could not have gotten anyone better. Also, Catherine kept in touch with me several times, confirming the songs that I chose with her help, and assuring me that she would be there gave me comfort and peace of mind. Once again a heartfelt thank you to you Catherine for making my Husband's memorial service a very special, memorable and beautiful day... in peace and light

August 4, 2024Catherine Pearce was an exceptional Bagpiper and coordinated her schedule to meet our needs in every way. Our family had her attend two different days of ceremony . The first was to play for my husband's burial service at our cemetery in Lincolnville , Maine. The second was to play the next day at a Celebration of his Life in Rockport, Maine. We were blessed that she was available for both days .... and working with her in the planning of songs to be played , along with her suggestions , made our two days complete. She was outstanding.
