Kathryn Sent on 08/22/2023Hire David immediately! Made our ceremony so special
Live Guitar New England made our ceremony and cocktail hour incredibly unique and special. David Ross not only provided microphones to our officiant and reader/singer (so important for an outdoor wedding!) he also learned to play any song we asked of him. I had a special song in mind for my bridal entrance and David not only learned it, but played it soulfully and perfectly. Additionally, my husband's daughter chose a song to sing during our ceremony, so David worked with her on it, learned to play it, and made her feel extremely comfortable. The performance was a magical moment.
David also creates the perfect vibe for the cocktail hour. Since we chose to have a DJ for our...David William Ross's reply:
Thanks so much! I really appreciate this feedback and had such a good time working with you as well. It's great to accompany family members that add their special musical touch and in this case, it was particularly beautiful! Congratulations, wishing the very best!

Daniel Sent on 10/14/2024Incredible Musician!
David was better than we could ever imagine for our wedding ceremony. He's an incredible musician, and he's too modest to advertise that he studied at the prestigious Peabody Conservatory... need I say more? While we were planning the wedding he was extremely responsive and even learned a very difficult piece at our request, which he played perfectly. We heard nothing but praise from our guests as well. -

Angela Sent on 10/11/2024Excellent choice for live musician!
We are so happy we chose David Ross for our live musician. He was responsive through our planning process and was more than happy to accommodate our non-traditional wedding schedule. David and his violinist Tara played a lovely mix of music tailored to our preferences. Our guests made several comments on how awesome they were! -

David is the real deal. Timeless and talented.
From the first time we reached out to inquire, to hearing him officially play throughout our wedding night - David took the time to walk us through realistic options for our day and guest list size. He was such a wonderful addition to our vendor team and without him the vibe would have been completely lost. He worked with us to create a personalized experience that we will never forget.
Truly lucky to have worked with him!! -

Daniel Sent on 06/14/2024A fantastic experience
We couldn't of been happier having David performing at our wedding. His talents added such class to the ceramony and cocktail reception. The guest all raved about his song selections during the event and his professionalism. All the way through the wedding planing to the event, David worked with us and we knew it was an area of our wedding that was under control from the start.
While in the chapel, We couldn't of asked for a better entrance for the bride, or sound for the cocktail reception, it was beautiful.
Thank you David, you helped make our day perfect. You're a very gifted musician and hope to hear you again soon.

David was so amazing to work with and made our wedding day feel so incredibly special. The music he and his violinist Tara played for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner was absolutely beautiful — their performance was the thing our guests complimented the most at the wedding! They set such a beautiful mood, and I will remember the songs they played at different moments of the day for the rest of my life. They even learned requested songs for both our procession and first dance! David was such a calming and accommodating presence during the planning process and took into account our preferences along the way. He even went above and beyond, providing mics for our ceremony.

Dan S. Sent on 07/01/2023A Pleasure to Work With
David Ross was a pleasure to work with and helped bring the musical vision of our wedding to fruition. He has an extensive song list and worked with us to create new arrangements to make our wedding ceremony incredible. He also set the perfect vibe for our cocktail party and our guests enjoyed the acoustic versions of modern pop songs. David was very communicative in the months leading up to our wedding and helped us time out a perfect rendition of Don't Want to Miss a Thing for our First Dance. He was a pleasure to work with and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for an acoustic guitarist.David William Ross's reply:

Bianca Sent on 06/24/2023Exceptional Ceremony Music
We are so grateful we found David to play at our wedding ceremony!
David was very easy to communicate with; his responses were always prompt and professional, and he was accommodating when we inquired about adding a cellist and violinist at numerous points throughout the process. David referred us to well-qualified, fantastic musicians (Rafael Popper-Keizer, cellist and Tara Novak, violinist) and facilitated the entire process himself. He was flexible about learning songs outside of his repertoire list and altering the arrangements as our date approached.
On our big day, David, Rafael, and Tara’s music was simply exceptional, adding a layer of elegance and magic to our ceremony that otherwise would not have been possible. It...David William Ross's reply:

David Ross was very professional and worked with us to customize our ceremony and cocktail hour music for our Stratton Mountain wedding.

They even learned our first dance song and performed it beautifully. Highly recommend!David William Ross's reply:

David is not only incredibly talented, but he is a consummate professional.

Jake Sent on 10/26/2020Made our ceremony perfect!
David was such an awesome addition to our wedding ceremony! From the initial outreach, my wife said he was easiest vendor to email with, giving great recommendations and advice as well as being super attentive and responsive. Come wedding day, I personally met David and he catered any and all requests we had. It was pouring rain, and David set up his gear with a smile, helping my sister and our uncles get situated for officiating and doing the readings. Finally, he can play so well!! watching back our video, I realized his beautiful guitar playing (the exact songs and style of those songs we requested) tied the ceremony perfectly together. Book David as soon as you can for your event!!!
- Jake (wedding 10/16/2020)David William Ross's reply:
Hey Jake- I really appreciate these words! It's great to hear feedback like this and I'm so glad that the music added something to the day. I totally understand that your attention was elsewhere (as it should be) so it's nice that you were able to listen back on the video recording. You had a great team putting all of that together. I hope you both are doing well and I trust that the rain and chill of your wedding will only bring the best of luck - congratulations!
