Review by Richard C.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 4, 2008•From Saint Paul, MN

Dana was perfect and exactly what we had in mind for our wedding. His playing was soft and romantic. He listened to our ideas of what we wanted and came up with the perfect play list for our big day. He was polite, well-mannered, well dressed and we would choose him again for a next special event and we recommend him to anyone looking for an acoustic guitar sound; he has a wide variety of selections and we even got a CD of his music. Just awesome. Thanks Dana!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 20, 2009•From Wichita, KS

My experience with Dana was great. He was very accomodating with all of my requests and was very helpful in selecting music for the ceremony. Dana demonstrated his talents and flexibility when he continued to play during a 30 minute pre-wedding delay, not missing a beat.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 20, 2009•From Davenport, IA

Dana was absolutely wonderful... We were a little late in getting started, and Dana started playing, and kept everything in a relaxed and comfortable mood. The music was perfect... I couldn't have asked for more. He was very professional. My only regret is that he couldn't play longer. THANKS AGAIN, DANA. We had a great day, and will always remember it. Dana gave us a CD of all the music we selected for our wedding day, and when we had our reception 2 months later, we had our 1st dance to one of the songs he played for us. It was a memorable day, and Dana helped to make it very special, and romantic. Thanks, Michael & Kathleen

Wedding•Reviewed on April 27, 2009•From Iowa City, IA

Dana provided beautiful music for our wedding. We received many compliments on our choice of music! He was very accommodating with our musical selection. We planned our wedding while living out of town, so Dana met with me over the phone and played some pieces for me. This was extremely helpful and I would recommend Dana to anyone planning a wedding.

Hi Dana, Sorry it has taken my a while to get back to you. Chris and I were honeymooning in beautiful Costa Rica and are just now getting back to reality! Thank you so much for everything...you were a great addition to the ceremony! I've had some great feedback and you might be hearing from a friend who attended the wedding as she is looking for music for her ceremony and possibly cocktail hour this summer in southwest Michigan. Appreciate your kind words. You were a pleasure to work with! Best, Kelly & Chris

Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 30, 2012•From Des Moines, IA

Dana provided a wonderful atmosphere for our event. His playing is absolutely beautiful and he was the epitome of professionalism. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone wanting to add that little something extra to their special occasion. I am now looking for anything else where I can use his services just so I can have the opportunity to hear this talented musician again. Amazing!!! Bridgett Moreland

Dana performed two one-hour sets of easy-listening classical guitar music that was well received by the guests.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on May 19, 2013•From Saint Louis, MO

Dana, You went above and beyond to make our ceremony and reception enjoyable for us and all of our guests. Your pre-session planning was crucial to making sure all of the details were finalized and that things went according to plan. Your music provided a great atmosphere for the cocktail hour and multiple guests have inquired about you with compliments.   You are a very talented musician and you did an outstanding job.   Thanks again and best of luck!
