I hired Dave and a cellist as part of his HammerString Duo to play both our ceremony and cocktail hour. He took the time to learn a specific song I wanted to walk down to aisle to, which was not previously in his repertoire, and it was flawless. He helped make my ceremony like a dream come true and I received lots of compliments from guests how beautiful the music was. He was very prompt with communication, flexible regarding schedule changes, and I would highly recommend hiring him for your ceremony/ cocktail hour or event!

We hired David to be the solo accompanist for our wedding ceremony and we are so glad that we did! His playing was flawless and his vast repertoire gave us plenty of options to choose from. He was even kind enough to learn a new piece that I requested specifically to walk down the aisle to. Would absolutely recommend without hesitation!!!

We booked the cello/piano duo for our outdoor wedding ceremony in May and it was amazing! I loved being able to listen to samples of the songs and see what songs other couples had chosen for their ceremonies. We also took advantage of the option to add a microphone for the officiant so the guests could all hear the ceremony and our vows. I'm so glad we booked with Dave!

Dave did an amazing job at our ceremony. We got married at the Stifel Theatre, they were able to supply a piano for him. Dave was able to meet with us the week of to discuss the order of events for our ceremony. He was timely day of, met with our officiant and ran over the timeline with him. The pre-ceremony music was excellent and our pre-set ceremony music was great. Everything was timed perfectly. We both thought he did an amazing job and added another touch of elegance to the ceremony. Would highly recommend him to any other couples looking for live music for your wedding!!

I am so glad we booked Dave for his piano and cello services as well as his wife as a vocalist for our Catholic ceremony. We really wanted to incorporate some instrumental contemporary music within all of the traditional pieces of a Catholic mass and I was determined to find a good cello player. I am so appreciative of Dave's long list of example songs and all of his help making sure we found songs that fit the church's guidelines while also fitting our personal wishes. The music was so beautiful and many of our guests loved the uniqueness of our music choices. We would definitely recommend working with Dave for your big day!

My wedding was just Saturday, but I didn’t get a chance to chat just a simple wave! First my day of coordinator said he was on time, then she said he checked the piano at the venue and said it sounded like shit lol 😂 but thankfully when we were in the process of booking with him I kinda heard it was bad but I said let’s just wait. Two days before my wedding he emailed me about it and I totally forgot. So I told him to bring it just in case and he sounded amazing 🤩. I had a friend tell me how good he did while everyone was getting seated. Also, he was recommended to me by my venue! I would definitely book him again for a event!
Vendor response 02/24/2022
Hi Alexis! Yeah the piano at the venue is a "classic". It's great for cocktail hours and...
stuff but for a ceremony you really want a clean sound so I was happy to bring my setup. I'm glad everyone was happy with the music!

I agree with other reviews, Dave was a pleasure to I work with and his music is absolutely beautiful! I had him play at my Catholic wedding and felt so confident knowing that he was familiar with the mass and music - the entire ceremony went seamlessly. I picked traditional songs based on samples from his website and loved them! It was hard to choose as everything sounds amazing and so heartfelt. I received so many compliments on the music and his vocalist that days I am so honored they played at my wedding! You MUST have them play at your wedding! Thank you Dave!

You NEED this guy at your wedding ceremony! I have always known I wanted live music at my ceremony, so I hade high expectations. David exceeded them. The beautiful sound of the piano/cello duo added so much to the overall ambience of the moment. He has a huge repertoire to choose from and he did an amazing job taking my idea of the feel I wanted and running with it. The only regret I have of my whole wedding is that I didn't get to fully enjoy their pre-ceremony music because I was getting ready in a separate building. I had so many guests tell me it was beautiful!

We decided a bit last minute on wanting a pianist for our ceremony music, so we hopped on The Knot to see what vendors we could find and who was available. We landed on Dave and he was absolutely incredible from the start. His professionalism and response time is the best out there. He has a very extensive repertoire of songs with so many different styles of music to choose from. I even requested a song not part of his current repertoire and he was willing to purchase the sheet music and learn the piece for the big day.
Dave did the MOST INCREDIBLE JOB with all of the music for the ceremony from pre-ceremony music to the preludes to the procession and recession. Both my husband and I were actually a bit disappointed we did not get to see or thank Dave in person due to the busy-ness of the day.
If you are considering hiring someone to play music for your big day, whether that be at your ceremony or cocktail hour, this is your guy!

David was SO easy to work with and his music was SO beautiful. Obviously planning a wedding during Covid had it’s difficulties and David was so flexible and understanding. His beautiful music really took our ceremony and cocktail hour to the next level, we’ve received so many wonderful comments and he even brought tears to some attendees eyes. Since I first found him on the knot.com, I’ve been obsessed with listening to his sample music and I can assure you it’s even more beautiful in real life. He really made our wedding that much more special.

We are so very thankful to the HämmerString Piano and Cello Duo (+Trio) for bringing such a wonderful ambiance to our wedding day. Having a mix of classical and contemporary music was very important to us as we needed talented musicians that could entertain our guests during our Cocktail Hour, Ceremony and Reception. We were seeking different styles of music for each section of our day, and I loved the versatility of this ensemble.
Dave (piano), Jake (cello) and Brian (percussion) performed wonderfully. We received SO MANY compliments from our guests and I was very impressed with their true professionalism and incredible talent. It is difficult to stop and immerse yourself on your wedding day as there are so many things pulling at your attention, but I was delighted to occasionally stop and truly enjoy the incredible music from the group.
Dave was very accessible and communicative during the planning process, something I appreciated tremendously. The atmosphere and ambiance the group brought to our celebration was loved and appreciated by all.

David was one of the easiest vendors for us to work with. It was a breeze to book him and he responds so quickly (so important for a stressed out bride!). You can tell he has been preforming for a long time and really enjoys what he does; our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner were taken to the next level with the beautiful ambiance he provided. We were able to pick out the songs for the important parts of our ceremony and I left the rest of the music selections up to him. He put together a beautiful selection of music for our guests to enjoy before the ceremony started. He was efficient and prompt. He was a breeze to work with and I'm looking for an excuse to hire him again; you won't regret using him for your day!

I am so glad we chose Dave to play at our ceremony and reception. Several people said how great of a job they did (we had the cello duo). It only took a few minutes of looking/listening to Dave's website before I knew I wanted to book him. One of the best decisions I made! He also responded to all of my emails extremely quickly, which I liked! Thank you, Dave, for your beautiful music!

David and his musicians were wonderful and added so much to our wedding. We had the piano cello and vocalist for our ceremony and the trio for cocktail hour. Everything went exactly as planned. Would recommend them to everyone!

This group of musicians plays beautifully! We received many complaints on the music as well it brought tears to my grandmothers eyes during the Ave Maria. For our ceremony we had the piano & cello duo for most songs, incorporating vocals into responsorial psalms, Ave Maria, etc. We also hired David for piano at our cocktail hour. David was very easy to work with, communication is key to a bride and his responses were near immediate every time I emailed. Pricing is reasonable especially for the quality you get! I’d recommend them to anyone, in fact one of my best friends hired David for her wedding this March.

I hired David Becherer to play during my daughters wedding ceremony . We actually had the hammer string duo ( piano and cello). They were outstanding! Family members had arrived early to the church and were texting us saying how beautiful the music was . So beautiful, the priest asked them to stay after so that he could record a few of their songs! You can’t go wrong with this duo! Five stars here!

Dave did a wonderful job on the piano for our ceremony and our cocktail hour. He was easy to work with and to communicate with, gave great advice with respect to the timing of our processional, was reliable, and added a classy element to our wedding day! Not to mention, he is very talented! Would highly recommend Dave's services to any bride and groom.

We used the piano and cello duo for our June 2018 wedding. Mr. Becherer was so easy to work with and had great music choices to customize your wedding. The live music played at our ceremony made the ceremony even more special. The pricing for the services is very fair and I wished we would of booked him to do our cocktail hour also. We would recommend to anyone we know!

We hired HammerString to provide ceremony and cocktail music and couldn't be happier with our choice. Dave was PHENOMENAL to work with and even learned a new song that was very special to us. As soon as I entered the foyer before the ceremony and heard the music playing, I instantly teared up. They were the perfect touch to our ceremony and very affordable after looking at other options.

We really wanted a reception that demonstrated the love of Jesus and they were willing to learn more Christian songs so that they could play within our "theme." They were amazing, very professional and low stress to work with.

Dave was such an amazing addition to have at our wedding day! Our wedding ceremony was absolutely beautiful in large part to you and your talents! The piano during the ceremony was so lovely, I teared up the second I heard it playing before I walked down the aisle! Your ability to play the two song requests not in your repertoire was so greatly appreciated and you did the songs serious justice. Thank you again!

Outstanding and beautiful are two words I'd use to describe Wedding Music by Dave Becherer. We hired Dave and Jake to do a piano/cello duo for our wedding ceremony music. From the prelude to the recessional, every note was truly beautiful to hear during our ceremony. Our guests said they absolutely loved the music and it certainly made this bride cry as I walked down the aisle to it. Dave and Jake even let us hear the songs with them prior to our big day when we wanted to make sure we liked everything. They are very professional, kind, and talented musicians. We also loved how accommodating they were with every request we made. We highly recommend them to play the perfect soundtrack for your wedding ceremony!

Thank you so much for the compliments Crystal! We loved that wedding. I had never heard...
a story quite like yours. I told the wedding planner that if there was ever a couple meant to be it was you guys. You should write a book. :)

David and his cellist, Jake Brookman, were excellent! They took time to meet with us prior to our wedding to go through our selections, making our vision the reality. Their prelude music was absolutely awesome--all of the most romantic, setting the mood for our Jewel Box wedding. They were early, set up without any problem, and hit every mark of the ceremony exactly the way we wanted. Professional, courteous, understanding of the small details....highly recommend David! He is gifted and really loves what he does. Thanks David!
