Funeral•Reviewed on July 12, 2026•From Bedford, MA
I hired David for a celebration of life for my father. David performed during the service and at the reception. I’d looked at many guitarists, but David's skill, artistry, and range was exactly what was needed. He has a great repertoire of Spanish, Latin, classical, jazz/swing standards, and popular music, and he learned a piece especially for the service.
David was available to go over things throughout the event planning process, and was 100% polite and professional. People loved his playing, and were still talking about it hours later. Hiring David was exactly the right choice, and I’d enthusiastically recommend his fantastic guitar artistry to everyone.

Engagement Party•Reviewed on December 21, 2016•From Peterborough, NH
I proposed to my longtime girlfriend at the top of a mountain. I hired David to hike up the mountain with me and play one of our favorite songs. Although David told me that he does not sing, he was able to get a friend to join him and ended up performing an acoustic guitar duo where they both harmonized the lyrics to the song. He followed my every instruction and was able to create the scene as I had imagined it. I was very pleased with their performance (especially in the incredibly windy and freezing temperatures) as was my fiance. I would highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a talented guitarist.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on October 17, 2016•From Sturbridge, MA
Working with David was an absolute pleasure all the way from our initial contact through the day of the wedding. He was so easy to work with! I had heard his version of Canon in D and thought it was just beautiful. Beyond this specific song request, we did not have much in terms of ideas for music and looked to David for suggestions. He provided us many great ideas and playlists and was absolutely fantastic on the day of the wedding. We had him play during our cocktail hour, as well, and I received nothing but wonderful feedback our guests about how much they enjoyed hearing him play. We couldn't be happier with our choice to hire David to play for our wedding!

David was a pleasure to work with and very professional. I have family members that also play guitar and they thought he was terrific! One of them was paying more attention to Davids playing than the wedding ceremony itself! I received a lot of compliments about David at the reception too! It was an overall wonderful day!

David was so nice and easy to work with. He was very responsive to our many emails and was willing to meet on his weekends to accommodate us. He brought a great energy to the wedding and we had many compliments on the music he played and the vibe he set for the cocktail hour. It was truly a wonderful day and David was an integral part of making that happen. Thanks again David!!

David was a fantastic addition to our wedding weekend. He played during our ceremony and cocktail hour, and his music perfectly set the tone for our event. Not only is David an incredibly talented musician, he was also very professional and responsive throughout the planning processes and on the day of the event as well. He was receptive to our ideas, and sent us several audio files with suggestions for our ceremony music. We recommend him without reservation.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 6, 2016•From Wellesley, MA
I am absolutely thrilled with David's performance at my wedding! I chose David because of his musicianship, and also because he was very responsive in communicating with me. David was professional and extremely responsible throughout the entire process. He was very helpful in choosing music, and even learned new pieces at my request. He is an accomplished guitarist in many genres, and his exquisite music set the tone for a lovely wedding and reception. David brought in a second guitarist/vocalist for the reception, and it was the perfect blend of mellow guitars and voice to provide a lively but unobtrusive backdrop for our meal. David, thank you so much!

Thanks Batsheva! It was a pleasure working with you and I'm glad that everything turned out so well and I'm pleased to have played a role in that!

He created the most amazing, beautiful, and most professtional orchestrated musical performance.
In the church while playing our requested music--guests were highly complimentary to my husband and I and later
on during the reception as well. Thank you, David for a most enjoyable perfomance!

Wedding•Reviewed on May 22, 2016•From Quechee, VT
We had David play for our wedding ceremony and reception. We booked him online after reading the many excellent reviews and needless to say, we were very impressed. We had no experience booking a musician, but he promptly replied to our request and sent us some sample wedding packages that made it easy for us to figure out what we needed. Once booked, he sent us sample tracks and ideas for our ceremony, but was open to anything we had in mind. He is a very talented guitarist and his music at our wedding day was fantastic... many of our guests commented to us as to how good it was. Overall, our experience with David was excellent and we highly recommend him!

David is an excellent guitarist and also a nice person.
My wife and I hired him to play at our wedding and our guests loved him and his repertoire.
David was everything we had hoped for in a performer and we would ( and have) recommended him to others.
I only wish your rating system at Gigmasters had a "Plus" button because David exceeded all our expectations.
We are thinking of having a second wedding just so David can play for our friends again... : )

David is very talented and extremely professional, while flexible and easy to work with. He offered to arrange a song or two of our choosing but we picked songs from his repertoire and they were perfect. He played both our ceremony music (including pre-ceremony so guests were able to be seated while listening to his playing) as well as playing through our cocktail hour. We received many compliments and are glad that we hired him and were able to trust him. David has always been quick to respond, answered all my questions thoroughly, and is genuinely very nice. I would absolutely work with David again and would recommend him for anyone looking for a guitarist.

David was great. He provided the perfect vibe for our corporate open house.
He was very easy to work with and responsive in pre-event planning I found him to be very professional and low-maintenance the day of the event.
I would absolutely invite David back for future events.

My husband and I booked David for our outdoor wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Alyson’s Orchard. He was incredible to work with from the time of booking to the end of cocktail hour. He was incredibly professional and a delight to work with. He responded to emails within minutes, responded to our questions with essay style answers :), and his guitar playing on the day of our wedding was flawless. I’m extremely grateful that I found him on this website. You will not regret booking him for any event!!!!!

Hi Laura- thanks for the great review! It was really a pleasure to work with you as well. It was a beautiful day for a wedding and thank you for a new wedding first for me in your unique ring-bearer!
Congratulations, very best to you both!

Amazing!! Truly, I can't say enough good things. David is a very skilled musician and is a pleasure to work with. I had a specific vision for how the songs in our ceremony would sound and he worked with me to arrange them perfectly. He was prompt with his responses and very positive and enthusiastic. Highly, highly recommend!

David was terrific! No complaints and couldn't have asked for anything better! He was responsive to all of my requests and communications. He was punctual. His music sounded superb and created the ideal backdrop to our event. He looked "the part" of the guitarist (composed and dressed appropriately). He came completely prepared, even with as second speaker to further amplify sound. I cannot recommend him highly enough. You will not be disappointed if you choose him.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on September 10, 2018•From Waitsfield, VT
David played guitar during our ceremony. Even though his time with us was short, he took the time to make sure he understood our vision and was very quick to respond. He learned a song for my walk down the isle and played it so beautifully that it made my father cry. His music was the perfect touch to our middle-of-the-woods ceremony, and he was able to use his amp without any outlets which was perfect. He also brought a microphone for us to use so that everyone could hear what was being said. Do not hesitate to hire David!
:
Thank you Katie! It truly was a pleasure to play for you - such a beautiful setting too. I'm glad to hear that your song request was a success; it is a great choice for a processional and I'm happy you gave me a reason to add it to the repertoire. Congratulations! Wishing you both the best! - David
