Wedding Bliss!

I talked to a lot of people attending the wedding on what they thought of Dave Hart playing in between our Ceremony and Reception and every person really enjoyed him! His energy and
skill set with all genres really set the mood in the courtyard of the winery!
Having him there was icing on the cake to really set the ambiance for the day! Highly recommend!

90th birthday celebration

Dave Hart and his guitar were Awesome! Everyone at my Mom's 90th birthday celebration enjoyed his music. Guests, including those with hearing aids, were able to converse easily, and were especially tickled with Dave's ability to play special requests from various decades. It was declared the best event that they had attended! Thank you Dave, you are the best!

Not only is Dave extremely talented, personable and reliable, he also has a great presence and personality. He played wonderful guitar music in the lovely sunny gardens where we exchanged our vows.

It was perfect & a lovely blend to complete our day. Dave's acoustic music fit magically and romantically during our wedding event.

He made the wedding complete and I was so happy that I chose him to provide music for our special day!

I recommend Dave to play at any venue!
