Engagement Party•Reviewed on August 21, 2023•From Haddon Heights, NJ

Dave was professional from beginning to end. He was incredibly professional, a great communicator and incredibly easy to work with. Our plans changed a few times and he as able to adapt and be flexible. He learned a song just for this event and he nailed it! He even let my daughter get on the mic and sing a song at the end of his time. I can't speak highly enough of him. Dave was perfect.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 21, 2023•From New Hope, PA

Dave was PHENOMENAL!!! We booked Dave for our reception @ Stella in New Hope, PA this past weekend. Dave was great with communicating and working with us all the way up to the reception. If we liked a song, Dave said he good do it. If he didn't know it, he tried it and sent us a recording. I can't say enough great things about Dave. Everyone at our reception loved the music he played. It was absolutely perfect! I HIGHLY recommend booking Dave for an event if you are considering him. You will not be disappointed!

This is the 3rd year we've has Dave come and play our st patricks day party. He's wonderful, super talented, and our party wouldn't be the same without him.

Thanks so much, Megan! You, your family, and friends are always an enthusiastic and appreciative crowd. I’m thrilled to be part of your annual St. Paddy’s Day celebration. Cheers! Dave

I highly recommend Dave without any reservations! He is very talented, professional, and easy to work with. Dave performed at my husband's 40th birthday party, and his performance was one of the highlights of the event. My guests loved Dave's music selection and talent. I would 100% work with Dave again!

Dave was perfect. He played at a joint birthday party for my husband and me. He arrived early, he played through cocktails and dinner with just the right vibe. He also emceed for some toasts and led everyone in singing happy birthday. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 24, 2022•From Morrisville, PA

If I could give Dave 6 stars I would! He was excellent in every way. When I told Dave about our favorite types of music I didn't expect him to have learned and performed songs just for us. Dave created a moment at my husband's birthday party that all of us will cherish for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have found him! Thank you Dave! <3

Dave was very accommodating and did an awesome job at our party. He arrived early, helped set the fun mood, and everyone enjoyed his takes on various songs and artists. He was also willing to negotiate his rate with me. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Dave again or recommend him to someone who was looking for great party entertainment.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 23, 2020•From Kutztown, PA

We had a great experience working with Dave for our backyard wedding reception. He was very responsive in advance of the event and brought with him everything he needed. We were taking photos when he arrived, but he got himself set up and was ready to jump in with music at the right moment. His performance was excellent. He has a great voice and played the kind of music we love. One of the caterers even commented that she hears a lot of wedding music but that Dave’s talent was really special. Highly recommend!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 2, 2020•From Temple Hills, MD

I booked Dave for a virtual concert for my wife's birthday, hands down one of my wife's best birthday gifts ever. Dave was amazing in his guitar playing and singing. His song selection was superb. He was very professional, punctual, patient and courteous. We did a sound check a couple days prior to make sure everything was good to go with sounds and connections. Will definitely do business again. Thank you Dave, you Rock!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 12, 2019•From Wilmington, DE

This was the 2nd time I hired Dave for a party at our house. He's great to work with and so accommodating. He's a great musician with a wonderful voice and a wide ranging song list. We were able to select the songs we wanted him to include from his extensive song set. All our guests were raving about him. He made our party a big success! Would highly recommend Dave!

Engagement Party•Reviewed on November 2, 2013•From Elverson, PA

From the first review of Dave on Gigmasters.com, I knew he would be perfect for my daughter's engagement party. Dave is a very talented musician with an excellent voice ~ guests ages 21 to 81 commented on how much they enjoyed his music! In addition, he is also a wonderful DJ and had our family and friends dancing to the end of the evening. Both my daughter and I were very pleased with Dave's music selection and that he knew exactly what to do to keep the party flowing. Do not hesitate to hire Dave for your event!

Review by Cole R.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 17, 2013•From Philadelphia, PA

Dave was very professional and did a great job at our garden style event. We were looking for a mix of mellow acoustic tunes and then periods of upbeat dance tunes. We chose among the songs in his acoustic catalog and then we got to provide a list of other favorites that he DJ'ed. He also accommodated some ad hoc microphone use by different folks in our party which was really great and fun.

Bar Mitzvah•Reviewed on September 10, 2013•From Philadelphia, PA

Dave was fantastic. He played guitar and sang at the adult cocktail hour for our children's B'nai Mitzvah. We spoke prior to our event and he was amenable to all our song requests. He was very professional. We received many compliments on his performance. We would highly recommend him.
