Wedding•Reviewed on October 1, 2022•From Berlin, MD
David was awesome! We had a last minute cancellation with our prior pianist and found David via the Bash. So glad we did! David is very talented, accommodated our requests and selected the perfect background music for our wedding! We recommend him highly!
Review by Aleksandra D.
Wedding•Reviewed on September 23, 2017•From Washington, DC
David Zipse was absolutely amazing, and I can't recommend him enough! He made my wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour & dinner) so magical; we received so many compliments from our guests about how much they loved the pianist and how splendidly he played! Every step of the way, David was so accommodating and professional; we made dozens of special requests for songs, including a very complex rendition of our favorite Steely Dan song for our recessional hymn, that David learned from a youTube video I sent him and totally nailed it- he is SO talented! We asked him to come a little earlier to rehearse with our wedding singer, and he came even earlier and stayed late.
