Dave was professional, on time, and absolutely a joy to work with. Several of our guests commented on how lovely the music was during our ceremony and our cocktail hour. I also asked Dave to sing in the ceremony somewhat at the last minute, and he sang "In My Life" between our two readers and brought tears to our eyes it was so wonderful. He added so much to our day and we are more than pleased we hired him for our wedding! He definitely helped make it the special day we hoped for!

Dave played solo at our wedding reception dinner for about 45 people. We asked Dave to provide classical guitar background music during the affair and he was excellent! His music was just right for the occasion, he took very few breaks and many of our guests commented on how much he added to our party. We would reccomend Dave to anyone.
PS - he plays a great version of Mood for a Day.

I often resist giving out perfect scores for any kind of rating. However, Dave was really terrific and there is nothing negative I can comment on. He is realiable and talented. Many of my guests made comments to me about how they felt he was very good and enjoyed his music. I would definately recommend him and hire him again.

David arrived, ready to work. His stamina was amazing. David exhibited talent with many instruments and displayed his ability to please a crowd of young children as well as adults. I received many compliments on his warmth and gentle humor which I feel enhanced his crowd pleasing skills. This is a talented young man who will enhance any party.

Dave Read was terrific! He recently played guitar during my wedding ceremony and I got SO many compliments from my guests. Throughout the planning, Dave was patient, helpful and extremely accomodating. I had a soloist sing at my wedding and Dave even recorded his playing on a CD and sent it to her so she could practice with the music. Then, on the day of the ceremony he came early to practice with her and was professional and polite. He helped us choose song choices and come up with a beautiful playlist for the ceremony including classical and contemporary songs! Dave was prompt with returning emails and phone cals and was just all around a five star guitarist. I'd recommend him to anyone for their wedding ceremony.

Dave was excellent. This was a 90th birthday celebration for an older group that knew and appreciated classical guitar music. Dave played the instrumental pieces beautifully and provided the perfect background for the attendees. In addition, he was pleasant and easy to deal with. I would highly recommend him for similar occasions.

Dave and Kevin were excellent! They performed at our wedding. My guest really enjoyed their music and so did we. Dave & Kevin were very accommodating, we sprang something on them last minute and they were able to come through. Very accommodating with his music list if we wanted something else played and they knew it they would play it, Very professional. When I would contact Dave either by phone or email he would respond back within a day or two. Dave called a few days before wedding to see if we needed anything specific. Would definitely hire again to perform for some other function. Thank you Dave & Kevin for making our wedding day extra special.

It was truly an enjoyable experience to have Dave provide music and vocals at our daughter's 16th birthday celebration. He's professional in every way and was a big hit with everyone at the event including the restaurant staff. He accomodated all requests with ease, was very relaxed in his presentations, and selected his music to fit the pace of the celebration.
It goes without saying that we would use his services again and would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a great performer.

Dave played at our wedding on 4/14/2007. We had small ceremony and dinner for 23 people. We had wanted a mix of classical music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and slow/rock/pop during dinner. Dave was not only able to meet our expectations, he exceeded them. He was very easy to deal with...prompt, professional, flexible, and accommodating. He played exactly what we wanted, but was also able to change easily if we wanted to slow things down or speed things up. One of the many things that we also liked about Dave was that he could play any song with or without vocals. For anyone who needs a performer who will work with you to make your day exactly what you want it to be, Dave is the right person for you.

Dave entertained about 20 children in my home. The kids had a great time!! He kept them involved and interested. He brought his electric guitar and microphone, and several of the kids got an opportunity to sing. I would definitely call Dave again for a function.

Dave was excellent. Very professional and very helpful. I gave him a very brief outline of what we wanted and he filled in the rest. Everyone at our wedding was impressed with his playing. Highly recommended. Added to that the weather was terrible, roads closed, traffic everywhere, and he made the appropriate plans and arrived early. Thanks again.

Dave was a complete professional, a talented man, and a perfect gentleman.
He was on time, he was prepared, he was exactly what we were looking for.
His music stood out when it was time for it, and blended with the atmosphere
of the event when it was appropriate.
We couldn't be happier with his contribution to our event.
