Hi, I'm Dave LaGrande, the musician behind LaGrande Music Services, based in Venice, FL. I provide elegant, personalized live piano and saxophone for weddings throughout Southwest Florida. Whether you're planning an intimate ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner reception, private estate celebration, or luxury wedding, my goal is to create a musical experience that perfectly complements your day.
With more than two decades as a professional pianist, saxophonist, composer, and arranger, I've had the privilege of performing in 49 U.S. states, internationally, and throughout the Caribbean. I spent more than a decade touring with the platinum-selling band Sister Hazel and have also performed with artists including John Berry and Heidi Newfield. My career has included appearances on the Grand Ole Opry, NBC's Today Show, ABC's Nashville, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. Today, I bring that same level of professionalism, musicianship, and preparation to every wedding and special event.
Every wedding begins with a conversation about your vision, musical preferences, and timeline. Whether you're looking for an elegant piano during your ceremony, a sophisticated saxophone for cocktail hour, refined dinner music, or a combination of both, every performance is thoughtfully tailored to your celebration. Custom song requests are always welcome, with the goal of enhancing the atmosphere while allowing every meaningful moment to shine.
While I specialize in solo performances, I also collaborate with a select group of exceptional vocalists and musicians for couples seeking duo performances or larger ensembles.
LaGrande Music Services proudly serves Sarasota, Venice, Wellen Park, Englewood, North Port, Punta Gorda, Boca Grande, Longboat Key, Siesta Key, Fort Myers, Sanibel, Bonita Springs, Naples, and surrounding Southwest Florida communities. Travel throughout Florida is also available for destination weddings.
I'd be honored to help create the soundtrack for one of the most memorable days of your life.

Every wedding is unique, so I take the time to learn your vision and tailor the music to fit your celebration. Couples appreciate not only the quality of the performance but also the professionalism, reliability, and communication I bring throughout the planning process.

Hiring Dave was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and honestly, years later it’s still one of the things our guests talk about most.
Back story - My fa...
mily had been going to Sister Hazel concerts (who Dave toured with) for years before my husband and I even met…and once we started dating, he became a fan right along with us. Every show, during “This Kind of Love” Dave would walk out for his iconic sax solo which if you’re a fellow hazelnut, you know how incredible that part of the show is.
When we decided to use that song for our first dance, I reached out to Dave to see if he’d be willing to surprise my husband by performing at our wedding. Seeing my husband’s face when he realized who was playing is still one of my favorite memories from the entire day.
Even if you’ve never listened to Sister Hazel, Dave is an incredible musician and was so easy to work with. He helped me pull off the surprise perfectly and was genuinely excited to be part of such a special moment for us. I promise you, if you book Dave you won’t be disappointed!
