Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 21, 2011•From Stevensville, MD
We had David play at our wedding. He was always accessible and responded quickly. He was very open to accompanying our friend (who was playing the violin). He played our requests and was very professional and friendly. He also had great suggestions for music when I asked for some. I have nothing but great things to say about David. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any event!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 19, 2011•From Fairfax, VA
I had a lot of demands for my wedding, and David has managed to not only meet but also exceed my expectations in almost every aspect. I'd asked him to play the piano during the bridal party entrance, and he managed to do just that...and also adapt and modulate the song in time with each announcement to create excitement and anticipation. I'd asked him to play a special song to accompany a PowerPoint presentation, and he was able to adjust and play the song so that it ended perfectly with the last slide, even despite the technical difficulties we had with the show. He alleviated many of my worries during the planning process, and my wedding was a complete success!

We could not have hired a better pianist! David from the first email was professional and accommodating and truly cared about making our evening special. He is a wonderfully talented musician and without him I do not believe our wedding would have been as lovely as it was. Each guest made a point to tell us how impressed they were with David from the cocktail hour at 6 to the close of the night at 10. We cannot thank him enough for everything that he did to make the evening so perfect!
Thank you David! Shannon and Damon

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on May 15, 2011•From Crofton, MD
David came to the event much earlier than needed in order to make certain everything was okay with the venue and that there was nothing out of place. That is a sign of a true professional. He played beautifully and was very outgoing and friendly. My granddaughter's wedding ceremony was very special due to his virtuosity on the keyboards and his work behind the scenes prior to the event working with all parties to make certain everyone would be satisfied. I would very much recommend him should anyone else have any similar events or the need for piano soloists in the future. Great experience!

David did a great job, he arrived extra early to set up and was very professional. We left the song selection up to him and he played a wide variety of music while also taking requests from our guests. Everyone raved about David after and told us how impressed they were. We would definitely hire David for another event!

This is the third year in a row we have hired David for our holiday party. He is just exceptional! Now our guests consider him a part of our "family" and this annual event. I highly recommend David! Not only is he talented, he is extremely accommodating, flexible and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet.

Magnificent! All of the guests commented on how talented David is! When you have someone like David, who just loves playing the piano, it's not really a "gig" for him - it's fun and it's a pleasure. We loved the way he improvised and transitioned one song into the next. Very impressive. We were all extremely thankful that he made our holiday social a very successful event! Would highly recommend him for any occasion!

David was extremely professional. The music was wonderful. We had a variety of ages 1 to 90 and everyone enjoyed it. We would recommend David he was a true professional and played a little longer than originally requested. I will definitely use gigmasters again if needed and will recommend both David and gigmasters if asked.
David - Thank you for adding to our wedding day.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 6, 2010•From Philadelphia, PA
David provided an outstanding performance at our event. Our requirements were somewhat strict in that our event was being hosted at a private, members-only facility with many rules and David followed our instruction to a T. We were very pleased with his abilities and will definitely be using him for our next event.

Mr. Zipse was very professional in his timely responses to my emails and telephone calls. He answered all of my questions courteously and completely. Most importantly, Mr. Zipse played beautifully, at my daughter's wedding. I received many wonderful comments about "the pianist." Since Mr. Zipse had his own sound system and keyboard, he had no trouble setting up in plenty of time before the wedding. My husband was particularly grateful that Mr. Zipse's rates are so reasonable. I would highly recommend Mr. Zipse to anyone who needs a pianist.

David Zipse is exceptional.
We had a small wedding reception for our daughter, and his entertainment was the highlight of the evening. David was very accommodating in playing special requests for traditional Greek music, and played the songs as if he was Greek himself! David Zipse is an outstanding Virtuoso Pianist, and I highly recommend him for your event. I look forward to having him play for us in the future. Thank you David!!

David Zipse was the hit of our holiday party! I knew from his press kit that he was versatile and talented; What I didn't know was HOW talented. Wow!!! His showmanship and mind-boggling song list impressed everyone. Without exaggeration ---- our guests raved.
Our piano is still smokin.
Thank you David for being such a pro and for your willingness to travel to Richmond, Va. You would enhance any occasion. And thanks to GigMaster for a responsive and helpful website.
Sincerely,

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on November 15, 2009•From Avondale, PA
David played at our entire wedding reception. He was accompanied by a drummer and vocalist (Stefanie Jaye). David & drummer provided wonderful background music for our 90 minute cocktail "hour" in the Round Room and then Stefanie joined them in the Great Room at Loch Nairn while we dined. The transition from one area to another was seamless. The music ranged from Big Band, jazz, and even one song later in the night just for the children. We received numerous compliments thru the entire reception about the wonderful music and vocals. My fiance and I (as a more mature couple) wanted a class act and we got it!! We would highly recommend David to anyone.

David was just great. We had some different requests for our ceremony (not the Canon in D-type standards) and he learned the music and really rose to the occaision to meet our needs. Fees were very reasonable and he made it really easy for us. He made suggestions where appropriate and helpful, but really just sat back and played beautiful music. This was one vendor we really didn't have to worry about on our big day! Thanks again, David! (Andrea & CJ, 10/3/2009)
