David is available for wedding ceremonies and their related events as a solo performer. He also offers the option of engaging his duo, where he performs with a violinist or guitarist. This arrangement often has him performing with Geza, a well-traveled Hungarian violinist, or Chris DeBellis, a classical and flamenco guitar player. If clients so request, he can also learn new material for their event. If the venue has no piano, he will bring his own and an amplifier.He can learn a specific repertoire of songs if requested and I can also play songs by ear, if I have heard them before.

We hired David to play the piano at our wedding reception in a downtown restaurant. He was incredible! All of our guests loved him. He started by playing some Top 40 piano hits but when the party turned to salsa dancing, David quickly improvised and played along with the music. Everyone thought he was amazing.

He makes it easy to book, using an online contract and payment method. Would highly recommend him for your next event.
