July 4, 2026David's beautiful, violinist performance for my dearly, departed, father's wake was gorgeous, elegant, calming. People were stating how nice & soothing, David's performance was. I even sat in the hallway alone privately, to listen to David's violinist playing, for a few minutes. Even the funeral home staff loved David! One staff stated that David's, violin playing was calming. It was absolutely relaxing. I loved David's rendition of "these three words," by Stevie Wonder. It's one of my favorite songs, since I was a little girl. My dad loved his music! I'm pretty sure he was blissfully happy about his lovely service. In addition, my dear mother & extended family, loved David's violinist performance. It was a lovely sendoff for my dear father. I know he loved it! Thank you David, for honoring my dad with some of his favorite songs, played so beautifully and elegantly. David's violinist abilities are stellar, as he offers serenity for grieving families and their loved ones.

June 19, 2026I’ve never hired a musician before David but let me just say, he exceeded whatever expectation I may have had. David discussed with me about dates, timing, song choices, and even dress attire for the event. He even showed up extra early to scout out the area I was looking to propose. If you are looking for someone who understand how special your event/day is to you and will be the person you can rely on, choose David, you won’t be sorry. Thanks again for a special day!

June 22, 2025We hired David for a surprise proposal at the Waldorf Astoria courtyard and he absolutely made the moment. He learned Kygo’s “Woke Up in Love” overnight, arrived early with a battery amp (no power needed), and hit the exact beat the second I dropped to one knee. His playing was rich and emotional without overpowering conversation, and he seamlessly transitioned into soft background pieces while our photographer worked. Multiple guests asked if we’d hired a full string ensemble—yep, that was one guy! Professional, punctual, perfectly dressed, and genuinely excited for us. If you want a soundtrack that elevates your event from special to unforgettable, David is your guy.
