    David handled everything!

    I'm no expert in the wedding industry, but David handled everything which made my life so easy! He has great examples on his website of song recommendations and past venues he's played at. I booked online, filled out his music form and that was it. I didn't have to coordinate anything else and all the guests loved him. Our wedding was at the Sheldon so the live piano was perfect for the ceremony

    Truly Professional & Talented Musicians!

    We are so very thankful to the HämmerString Piano and Cello Duo (+Trio) for bringing such a wonderful ambiance to our wedding day. Having a mix of classical and contemporary music was very important to us as we needed talented musicians that could entertain our guests during our Cocktail Hour, Ceremony and Reception. We were seeking different styles of music for each section of our day, and I loved the versatility of this ensemble.

    Dave (piano), Jake (cello) and Brian (percussion) performed wonderfully. We received SO MANY compliments from our guests and I was very impressed with their true professionalism and incredible talent. It is difficult to stop and immerse yourself on your wedding day as there are so many things pulling at your attention, but I was delighted to occasionally stop and truly enjoy the incredible music from the group.

    Dave was very accessible and communicative during the planning process, something I appreciated tremendously. The atmosphere and ambiance the group brought to our celebration was loved and appreciated by all.

    Best music for wedding.

    Great wedding pianist!

    We hired Dave to play at our wedding ceremony. He did an amazing job, evening learning a new song, the Rudy theme song, which my groom really wanted to enter to. He was easy to work with from start to finish. There was a wide selection of music to chose from for all parts of our ceremony and even examples as well. I would highly recommend him for any event!

    We wanted live music at our wedding and hired David and it was one of the best decisions we made. He was easy to work with and the music was perfect

    Wedding Ceremony

    Even though we never had a chance to meet in person, David was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was so flexible and responsive. The music for my wedding ceremony sounded wonderful!

    I am so glad we chose Dave to play at our ceremony and reception. Several people said how great of a job they did (we had the cello duo). It only took a few minutes of looking/listening to Dave's website before I knew I wanted to book him. One of the best decisions I made! He also responded to all of my emails extremely quickly, which I liked! And he was so easy to work with! Thank you, Dave, for your beautiful music!

    We had David play at both our ceremony and our cocktail hour and could not be more pleased. Everything went exactly as planned. His music set the perfect tone for our event. We asked David and Kim to play two songs that were not on his play list and not only were they accommodating but the songs were made our ceremony so special for us.

    We had Dave for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and our guests loved it! He has a wide repertoire and plays everything with gusto. As a musician myself, I can appreciate the skill that Dave brings to the table. I kept getting compliments from our guests on how great the music!!

    I hired David Becherer for my daughter’s wedding. He was professional ( dressed in a suit) he guided us through the process, promptly answered any and all of our questions. We met at his house and he played some pieces for us to help in our selection of music. We had the hammer string duo ( piano and cello). The music was absolutely beautiful. We had family members in church before the ceremony, texting us about how beautiful the music was. So beautiful, the priest asked them to stay afterwards to record a few of their songs. You can’t go wrong with this duo!!

    We used the piano and cello duo for our June 2018 wedding. Mr. Becherer was so easy to work with and had great music choices to customize your wedding. The live music played at our ceremony made the ceremony even more special. The pricing for the services is very fair and I wished we would of booked him to do our cocktail hour also. We would recommend to anyone we know!

    Dave did a wonderful job on the piano for our ceremony and our cocktail hour. He was easy to work with and to communicate with, gave great advice with respect to the timing of our processional, was reliable, and added a classy element to our wedding day! Not to mention, he is very talented! Would highly recommend Dave’s services to any bride and groom.

    We hired HammerString (piano/cello) to provide ceremony and cocktail music and it was the best decision we made! Dave was phenomenal to work with and they learned a new song that was very special to us. They had a wide selection of music to choose from and was the perfect touch to our ceremony. I instantly teared up when I walked into the foyer and heard the music playing. Dave is very affordable compared to other options I found in St. Louis. I highly recommend!

    I am so happy we hired Dave to play the piano for our ceremony and cocktail hour. His playing was so beautiful, I got teary eyed as soon as I heard it! Dave played two songs for us that were not already listed in his repertoire and both sounded amazing, as well. Thank you, Dave!

    StLouisPianist Dave Becherer's reply:

    Thank so much for having me Erica. I was glad I could be setup down in the patio area, I thought that worked out really well. Grace told me about how you teared up when you heard the music. Always glad to hear when music touches emotions!

    We really wanted a reception that demonstrated the love of Jesus and they were willing to learn more christian songs so that they could play within our "theme." They were amazing, very professional and low stress to work with.

    Outstanding and beautiful are two words I'd use to describe Wedding Music by Dave Becherer. We hired Dave and Jake to do a piano/cello duo for our wedding ceremony music. From the prelude to the recessional, every note was truly beautiful to hear during our ceremony. Our guests said they absolutely loved the music and it certainly made this bride cry as I walked down the aisle to it. Dave and Jake even let us hear the songs with them prior to our big day when we wanted to make sure we liked everything. They are very professional, kind, and talented musicians. We also loved how accommodating they were with every request we made. We highly recommend them to play the perfect soundtrack for your wedding ceremony!

    I'm the bride's mother. My daughter and I heard Dave and Jake (the cellist) play at a bridal show and loved them immediately! We hired them to play at my daughter's wedding for the first 2 1/2 hours during cocktails and dinner. We received MANY compliments on how wonderful they were!

    David played for our outdoor wedding ceremony on Saturday, and I couldn't be happier! I knew I needed to book him when I saw Queen songs on his wedding repertoire! Everyone loved how he played "Somebody to Love" for the bridesmaids' processional. He also played the opening song from Pride and Prejudice for the seating of the mothers, which was perfect for my mom since she and I love that movie! And, for just a bit more $, he rehearsed a song with my maid of honor the day before, and then seamlessly accompanied her singing at the wedding. Everything went off like a dream. :) :) :)

    StLouisPianist Dave Becherer's reply:

    Thank you so much for having me Sarah. I had fun working with Savannah. Her voice was perfect for that Irish tune. It was amazing when the sun came out minutes before setup! Wishing you the best!

    Wow pretty much sums up Dave's performance for our wedding! We had him do the ceremony on piano and then a piano and cellist duo for cocktail hour and we could not have been more impressed! Everyone complimented their playing all night and he brought tears at the wedding ceremony! A definite must for any wedding!

    Dave was wonderful to work with! I emailed him too many times to count and he put up with me perfectly. The songs he learned for my ceremony turned out exactly how I imagined them. He made sure the timing was perfect.

    We hired Dave to play at our wedding ceremony and we weren't disappointed! He did such a great job - I liked that we were able to talk through all the details of the ceremony beforehand via e-mail so there would be no unexpected surprises. He had a wide selection of music to choose from and I felt confident choosing him for the wedding. Thank you so much Dave!

    StLouisPianist Dave Becherer's reply:

    Thanks, Victoria, your wedding at the Piper Palm House was beautiful. I'm always happy to talk via email, I know that it was much easier for you, and that's what matters. Thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding.

    Dave was fantastic and extremely accommodating! He was in direct contact with me through the entire preparation and walked me through each step of what he would be doing for us. If there was a song that we particularly wanted or a different rendition of one he already had, he took the time to send us the confirmation of the song and then practiced it specifically for our wedding. On the day of, he made sure to introduce himself and confirm that everything was in order so that we had nothing to worry about. We could not be happier with our choice of Dave Becherer!
