Dave Damage provides the soundtrack to your perfect wedding day

Hiring Dave Damage to play violin for our wedding was a dream from the start. He's easy to work with and flexible and can either work with the music choices you provide or make suggestions based on his expertise.

Dave really brought our wedding to life with his beautiful violin playing. He provided the perfect atmosphere and soundtrack while all our loved ones came together in celebration of such a special day. We had him play an assortment of classic and alternative hits and gems (Prince, The Cure, Ghibli, Smashing Pumpkins) reinterpreted for the violin as part of our prelude, processional, and recessional music. Following the ceremony he switched gears to play over more traditional Hot Jazz and Swing songs for our cocktail reception.

He's an asset to any wedding or special event. Don't hesitate on hiring him!

Absolutely perfect for a wedding or any other party!

If you’re ever looking for a super cool vibe for any parties or get-togethers, we can’t recommend DAVE DAMAGE enough!! We used Dave for our wedding, to play for the ceremony and cocktail hour. He was so great to work with from the beginning, super friendly and responsive. He has such an easy way about him and will mold the music however you wish to get your personal touch. We relied on his recommendations for certain things and it could not have been more perfect! We began with mostly violin music for our ceremony where he played our requested songs. Our guests were thrilled to hear him play and meander through the crowd, they were singing along and enjoying every minute! We all loved it! We would use him again and again!!

The ceremony was romantic and beautiful just as we imagined and the cocktail hour was filled with a custom playlist of songs that we loved!. Dave was very helpful and communicative in the planning process. He is an AMAZING musician who can play all genres of music. Our guests all LOVED him, he brought an energy to the dance floor that was eclectic! Dave was professional and a pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend him :) Thanks Dave for adding your spunk to our perfect day!
