Dave Bywater Live Acoustic Performer

If I could give Dave 6 stars I would! He was excellent in every way. When I told Dave about our favorite types of music I didn't expect him to have learned and performed songs just for us. Dave created a moment at my husband's birthday party that all of us will cherish for the rest of our lives. We feel so lucky to have found him! Thank you Dave! <3

My fiancé and I booked Dave for a home wedding only 3 weeks before the big day. We had one quick call before the event to discuss a few special songs. He showed up on the big day and our house was filled with guests and catering staff. He took minimal direction from us and just went straight to setting up. He was so easy to work with. He even provided mics for the ceremony and speeches. Aside from the logistics, this man can really perform! The crowd loved him and his catalog of songs was top notch. If you’re trying to plan a chaotic wedding yourself, enlist the help of a seasoned pro like Dave to take a little pressure off!

Dave Bywater played acoustic guitar, sang, DJ’ed and MC’ed
for our wedding. He did an incredible job seamlessly performing all these
roles. He even led interactive dances and activities, such as line dancing, a
conga line, and a limbo bar. He has a great voice and an energy that was
appreciated by all of our guests. Even one of the vendors from our catering
service said he was the best performer she had ever seen in many years of
working weddings. We would highly recommend his reasonably priced services. It
was a great deal, especially considering the amount of organization and talent
Dave brings to an event. We have now worked with him for two events and would be happy to work with him again for events in the future.

Everyone liked Dave. He is a good singer and I would recommend him.

This is the second time my family hired Dave to play/sing for a family event. No surprise that EVERYONE loved his music and singing. It is obvious he loves what he does and embraces his audience. My family and friends come from all over and the feedback is that Dave is the “best”. Thank you Dave for a memorable beautiful night to help celebrate my son’s wedding the following day.

Dave was fantastic. He arrived on time, setup and was fantastic during our 4-hour family St. Paddy's event. Incredible voice, super friendly, and we loved having him at our backyard shindig. Made the day!

Dave Bywater is an incredible musician and described as "Awesome!" by the guests of our retirement dinner. His ability to work with us on song selections made our dinner more enjoyable than we could have imagined. We definitely recommend Mr Bywater for your next event.

We hired Dave for our annual holiday party at Lear & Pannepacker, LLP. He was amazing. Although the cocktail hour was a little noisy, you were able to hear Dave and his guitar through it all. His choices of music were perfect for the holiday season.

Dave did an absolutely wonderful job for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. His playing and singing are beautiful and set the whole tone for our wedding. He listened carefully to what we wanted and helped us pick songs to create the exact feeling we were going for. He also came through at the very last minute and provided us with an additional mic for the officiant. He was flexible and professional and helped us push up the ceremony to avoid the rain. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone. Thank you Dave for making our day exactly what we had hoped for!!!

Dave performed at a private party we had on the Moshulu in Philadelphia. The music was great and I had nothing to worry about. Dave did a great job and even took some requests. I would highly recommend Dave if you are looking for a friendly, talented, and professional vocalist/guitarist.

Dave was extremely accommodating. Besides providing a great mix of guitar and vocals, there is a lot to be said for his unusual DJ Style. Our guests were overwhelmingly impressed with Dave's combination of styles and his agility on the dance floor. Many Kudos to you Dave,
Skip and Linda

My husband and I were referred to Dave through a family member. Being the first in my family to get married, I really did not know what to expect in terms of a DJ, and thankfully with Dave's experience and knowledge, he was able to thoroughly answer all of my questions and concerns! Dave was professional from the minute we met him, throughout the entire wedding planning process and during the wedding. He was especially helpful in offering his advice and he was patient when we changed our mind on song options several times! Dave even asked me for the contact information of our wedding coordinator so that he could work with the venue regarding the flow of the wedding directly, to help reduce the stress on the bride! To top it all off, Dave is an amazing musician! He preformed live for the ceremony and our cocktail hour, has a large selection of song choices and he even composed a variation of one of our favorite songs for my father and I to walk down the aisle to! Very talented, organized and professional! We highly recommend Dave for all of your entertainment needs!

Dave really made our 40th Birthday party a success! He was very professional and asked us for any specific song requests. He showed up early and started right on time. He is extremely talented with his singing and all of our guests were raving about him. I could have listened to his singing all night! We did have him switch to his DJ talent half way through the party which was so much fun. He got everyone dancing and showed us how to do some dances. I would highly recommend Dave to anyone planning an event. Thanks Dave for a great party!"

"I found Dave Bywater on gigmasters last year and after reading all of the rave reviews, I knew we had to have him for our September 4th Wedding. I can't really express in words how amazing he was. Days after our Wedding we were still receiving calls from our guests telling us how amazing our DJ was. He was SO much fun! He really got the crowd going and he brought all kinds of props which was awesome!! All of the kids and adults loved him. Truly, SO MUCH FUN and he really made our reception memorable and a total blast. Absolutely without a doubt will RAVE about him to all of my friends for years to come and would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone for any type of event. "
