Matt & Elayne Proposal

We 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.
