n belted out joyous tunes. The music was beautiful and was such a fun touch. Dave also stuck around long after the ceremony to take pictures and even play another song as we boarded the trolley (after doing a long receiving line!). All of our guests were so impressed- as were we! Also, before the wedding Dave sent us a CD of some of his different songs so we could pick out the ones we wanted him to play.

ceremony he stood outside and played for our guests until we walked out. He played at the reception while our guests walked in and played as we were announced. Everyone loved it!
