Dave was an integral part of our wedding, and looking back on it, it wouldn't have been nearly the same without him. So many of our guests raved about him during the wedding and fo...
r days after. Dave is kind, professional, and simply amazing at what he does. We provided our favorite artists/genres and Dave curated the absolute perfect playlist for our prelude music. He then worked with us to make our ceremony music exactly as we wanted it and it was so epic! I've been to countless weddings and events with violinists, and if you have too, you'll instantly know Dave is a step up from the others. Brides, if you want a violinist who is exceptional, professional, and reliable (especially if you want someone who can play multiple genres, artists, and track types), Dave is the one!

Dave really brought our wedding to life with his beautiful violin playing. He provided the perfect atmosphere and soundtrack while all our loved ones came together in celebration of such a special day. We had him play an assortment of classic and alternative hits and gems (Prince, The Cure, Ghibli, Smashing Pumpkins) reinterpreted for the violin as part of our prelude, processional, and recessional music. Following the ceremony he switched gears to play over more traditional Hot Jazz and Swing songs for our cocktail reception.
He's an asset to any wedding or special event. Don't hesitate on hiring him!

cktail hour. He was so great to work with from the beginning, super friendly and responsive. He has such an easy way about him and will mold the music however you wish to get your personal touch. We relied on his recommendations for certain things and it could not have been more perfect! We began with mostly violin music for our ceremony where he played our requested songs. For the cocktail hour, Dave came up with a playlist after us telling him the feel we were going for. Our guests were thrilled to hear him play and meander through the crowd, they were singing along and enjoying every minute! We all loved it! We would use him again and again!!

ayed across the stars during the "mantilla ceremony"
'mantilla’, which is a type of shawl made of lace that covered our shoulders, symbolizes the union as husband and wife—the marriage union. The same mantilla was used in several other family members who were married before us.
Its a very special and holy moment.
The violin provided elegance to our special twist.
During the celebration part of the evening, Dave joined the Dj. His Sound provided a very unique experience to the many rhythms played that night
He was very willing to work around our budget and provided us a 5 star experience
