Wedding•Reviewed on October 14, 2012•From Elkhorn, WI
Dave Byron was absolutely amazing! He played for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Everybody keeps telling me how much they loved Dave's talent and how much they enjoyed his music. The spanish guitar was perfect for our wedding that blended our different cultures (Salvadoran and Irish) We loved how Dave asked us what songs we wanted for each part of the ceremony and learned them just for us. Thank you so much!!!!!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 13, 2009•From Chicago, IL
Hiring Dave Byron is the absolute best decision I made while planning my wedding reception. Dave played a mix of his own music, classical, salsa and jazz with a Latin flare (and more). He blew everyone away! His performance gave the whole reception a wow factor that had us on our feet. Many of my guests thought Dave came with the venue and complimented the banquet manager on the outstanding music. Early on in my correspondence with Dave (it's worth including that I thought arranging things with Dave was too easy to be true) I mentioned a popular rock song that I just love. During the reception Dave played my song with Latin flare. My guests are still raving about it.

Dave is AMAZING!! Live music will never again be the same for me - Dave has set the bar much too high. But most importantly, the party we threw will never be forgotten thanks to Dave and his music.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 10, 2013•From Sugar Grove, IL
Dave was very professional in all of his correspondences prior to his performance. He was very accommodating to requests and suggestions, which made the performance more personal. Dave is very talented and his equipment/instrument sounded great. He gave a great performance and was very entertaining. He took time to instruct and answer questions from my wife, who is a beginning guitarist. All of our guests enjoyed the performance and Dave was a lot of fun!

Dinner Dance•Reviewed on May 4, 2007•From Champaign, IL
Book him! Book him! Book him! Dave Byron is an incredible musician and performer. On top of that he and his wife are really nice people. We had Dave perform at our country club Cinco De Mayo party and the young and the older all were captivated by his music. He started with classical guitar with a Spanish flair keeping in theme with our event and then moved on to his electric guitar. The electric was great as well. He is so talented he kept the spanish feel going with his electric perfectly. It was a nice change up in the performance. It brought the mood up from dinner time to party time without being too loud or rockin' for our older guests.
Many guests were asking for his card to book him for their own personal parties. I can't say enough about him. We will definitely book him again!!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 21, 2010•From Downers Grove, IL
Incredible evening and Dave was the reason for much of the evening's success. Everybody loved him... he provided the perfect ambience for a large birthday party with about 35 guests mingling throughout the evening... most guests spent some time just marveling at his talent, sitting and just loving it... and then they would continue to mingle... flamenco guitar.... elegant, entertaining, and the great part was that the guests got to decide when they wanted it to be the center of attention or just a great backdrop to a wonderful evening!

Cinco De Mayo Party•Reviewed on May 10, 2010•From River Forest, IL
We couldn't have been happier with Dave and Debra! What a phenomenal team! Dave arrived early, performed a sound check, and then played his heart out until the requested time. I must have had a dozen neighbors and friends ask me how we found Dave and if they could hire him for other parties. Way to go, Dave. You won over the entire crowd! Your talent with the acoustic guitar is unrivaled. Well done.
All our best,
Alan and Rhonda

Valentine's Day Party•Reviewed on February 22, 2010•From Willow Springs, IL
Dave played for my Birthday Party and there were in attendance a cross section of family and friends. Everyone was so impressed with Dave. Dave was so in the "zone" of playing and everyone immensely enjoying him, he never took a break. Dave was the "hit" of the party by playing requests and everyone participating in live music. Dave made my special party so memorable not only for myself but my family and friends. Dave's expertise on the classical guitar was awesome! I would highly recommend him to play for any occasion. I would definitely hire him for another future party.

Cocktail Party•Reviewed on December 12, 2009•From Woodridge, IL
Dave was absolutely FABULOUS! He played a wide range of music for our holiday cocktail party - holiday tunes and contemporary music, along with some of his own music - and even took requests from our guests. He arrived before the party started to set-up, so he was ready to go once the guests arrived and then played beautifully throughout the evening. Everyone in attendance was impressed which made the party truly special. I would most certainly recommend him to our friends - which I already did - and would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on October 4, 2011•From Des Plaines, IL
I was blown away with Byron's talent just by watching a couple of his videos on gigmasters and listening to his audio, so I knew I had to book him for my wedding. Byron and his wife, were always very nice and answered my all my questions and emails promptly leading up to the day. Unfortunately due to schedule changes my guests weren't able to listen to his music as much as I would have liked them too but everybody enjoyed him playing in the style of Spanish guitar/flamenco music. My husband and I loved everything about his music and look forward to booking him for future events. He's great!!!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 21, 2011•From Highwood, IL
Dave Byron was absolutely fantastic! He played for hours and hours at my wedding reception and everybody loved his music! The only direction that I had given to Dave was to play "pretty, romantic music" and that's exactly what he delivered---and even took a request for "Stairway to Heaven" which sounded amazing.
I hadn't planned on dancing at my reception, but people loved the music so much that everyone starting dancing and really enjoying themselves.
Every person who has called me since my wedding has commented on how much they enjoyed the music and where I found Dave.
If you want beautiful music from an easy to work with professional, it's Dave!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 31, 2011•From Chicago, IL
Dave's musical talent is amazing. The entire night my guests were asking where I found him. Everyone was impressed w/ his skills. His professionalism and accommodating nature was off the charts. Our event was outside, and we had a glitch w/ the lights. It took a while to get the lights working, but Dave was understanding and continued to play beautifully w/ only a few candles to provide light. Dave was also quite a trooper. He had a gig earlier in the day that was a couple of hours away, and he was more than willing to play for additional time. He even gave my guests some copies of his cds! I can't thank Dave enough for his amazing performance & fantastic attitude.

Dave did a great job performing for our company cocktail party. The music was not so loud that people could not have a conversation and was very enjoyable to listen to. I would definitely recommend Dave.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on January 9, 2011•From Channahon, IL
A review can barely express how much Dave's music added to the wedding ceremony in Channahon on 10-23-10. As an artist, he is beyond incredible, plus Dave and his beautiful wife, genuinely care about the bride and groom. In the opinion of this mother of the groom, out of the many decisions that went along with the wedding planning, this was the absolute best one, hands down. As guests came through the receiving line, they commented, first, on the guitar player, THEN the beautiful ceremony! Dave left a lasting impression on each and every guest with his music.

Dave Byron did an amazing job performing at our wedding. He did Spanish style music in the beginning and then traditional wedding songs. We have received more compliments about his music than anything else. He and his wife were also very helpful and professional.
