Thanks so much for the kind words Weston! I had a great time playing for the party! Happy holidays!

Review: Keyboard Dave was hired to play piano at our Engagement Cocktail Party. It was held at a fancy series of club rooms and Dave's music elevated the sophistication of our event greatly! He worked ahead of time on the music selections we requested (Cole Porter/Irving Berlin songbook, Vince Guaraldi, softer Elton John selections, Titanic song) and made the party extremely enjoyable for all the guests.

Here's a great example of Dave's depth of music selections. Without being requested, I noticed that Dave played some incidental music from the movie "Casablanca". It was a quiet piece from a scene between Humphrey Bogart and piano player Dooley Wilson where Bogart asks "What are you playing there?" The reply by Wilson, "Just a little something I've been working on."

Dave had a great attitude and was extremely professional. He asked if we preferred Jacket and Tie or Turtleneck. We chose the former, but were pleasantly surprised when he wore a bow tie, not the necktie that I assumed he would wear.

Dave's knowledge of music, great attitude and extremely high work ethic shined brightly during the three hours that he played at our event. If you hire Keyboard Dave for your event, you won't regret it! WELL DONE!

Response from Keyboard Dave:
Thanks Thomas for the great review! It was certainly my pleasure and honor to play songs from such great composers as Porter, Berlin, Gershwin, Guaraldi, for you and your guests. Best wishes to you and your fiancée!

Review: We loved having Dave play for our cocktail party! He came from out-of-town to play for us arriving on time and ready to entertain us. His music definitely added ambiance to our party and many of our guests loved his choice of musical pieces. We gave him a list of some of our favorite songs (which varied in style) as an idea and he took our list and ran with it. Many of our guests said they would think of a song and a few minutes later, he would be playing it. Having him play was one of the best parts of the evening. Money well spent!

Review: I hired keyboard Dave for a small corporate holiday party at my house. Unfortunately, my father-in-law passed away unexpectedly, and we turned the event into a celebration of life gathering for him. I told Dave I would still like to have him spread some cheer for the event, and he altered his holiday playlist slightly to accommodate the new theme of the evening. Our closest friends and family really enjoyed the ambience! We thank you, Dave!

Review: Keyboard Dave is not only an amazing pianist but he was extremely polite and helpful! We requested a special song that he had never heard before and he took the time to practice and learn the song for our wedding. Before the ceremony started, he gathered the made of honor and myself and we came up with a plan to coordinate my wife’s requested song. He went above and beyond to insure our ceremony was everything we were hoping for.

Response from Keyboard Dave:
Thanks for your kind words, Omar! I always strive to do my very best to ensure that my client is satisfied with not only my playing but also my communication with them and preparedness for the event.

Review: We booked Keyboard Dave only about 10 days before our event because we were in a bit of a time crunch. Dave was so professional, we reviewed all of our needs through email, and he was very receptive to my wife's day of plans and order of service. Anything we asked, Dave provided and we would highly recommend his services. Dave, thank you so much for helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives!!

Dave worked with us in selecting our best song list in advance of the event and he arrived early to set up and rehearse the accompanied numbers. Dave was reliable, adaptable, and accommodating.

I would both recommend and hire him again if I ever need someone with his musical talents and classy persona. Keyboard Dave is a true professional in every way.

Review: Dave played for our dinner event and for the program following with great professionalism. His play list is very good for a long evening, and he was very willing to incorporate special requests which we provided ahead of time. He even very skillfully led the crowd of over 150 on the piano as we sang two songs with gusto! Could not be more pleased with our pianist for the evening!
