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.

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!

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.

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!!

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 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!

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!

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.

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!

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!

Dave was GREAT! He was flexible when I made last minute changes to the song list. Our communication was through email, which was convenient. I would be happy to hire him for future events and I strongly recommend hiring him for your wedding. His pricing was reasonable, too. The music he played was exactly what I wanted. The wedding day was a blur, so I can't wait to see the video, partially so I can hear Dave's music. Thanks, Dave!

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!

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. :) :) :)

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!

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!

We absolutely LOVED our ceremony music played by David and his friend. We really wanted a piano/cello duo and we searched and searched for one until we almost gave up... Then one night, we found them on the knot. I contacted him that night and he got right back to me! We wanted very specific songs and he made sure that was exactly what we got. He had an event in St Louis prior to ours but he made it to our ceremony in plenty of time to start the prelude music. He kept in touch well and even texted/emailed to keep me up to date on where he was when he traveled to our location. We were very pleased with everything. Our wedding was outside on a pretty windy day and they still made it happen... Even if it meant they held their music with their teeth. I have absolutely no regrets! And if you're wondering if it's worth the extra money.... Let me just do you a favor and tell you, IT IS! I highly recommend you cutting a corner somewhere else! Thanks again for everything, David! You guys are AWESOME! :)

The beautiful music of Dave helped to make our wedding day one to remember. His music is amazing and was such a wonderful addition to our ceremony. Dave played for our ceremony as well as our cocktail hour.
We wanted to stay with traditional music, so we picked our songs based on his samples on his website and couldn’t have been more pleased. But Dave is willing to customize and learn new songs. For our ceremony, Dave also brought a cellist with him to play “A Thousand Years (Piano Guys)”. Perfect song for the Bridal Processional. The music was wonderful and everything went very smoothly. We had several guests comment on how nice it was. Both Dave and his wife (she was the vocalist for cocktail hour)are lovely, so easy to work with, and always had fast response times to any questions we had. His rates are super reasonable, too. We would recommend him for weddings or any events where a nice soft ambiance is needed. Good job Dave!!.

Dave and his wife Kim performed at my wedding. Very prompt email responses and great customer service. His amazing skills as a pianist and his wife Kim's voice created an elegant and romantic atmosphere during our wedding. We loved working with them and would recommend them without reservations. They are an amazing team and have the talent and skills of true professionals.

We used Dave for our wedding last May at Moulin events in St. Louis. My husband and I were planning the majority of our wedding from afar and were looking for something low key and no hassle for our music. Dave was perfect for our wedding – he was always professional and friendly and had accessibility to other musicians should we choose to have another artist accompany him. Compared to other musicians, he’s a great price and find, I would recommend him to any bride in the St. Louis area.

For me music has always been an important part in any wedding. It sets the tone. It makes the wedding memorable or not. As for my daughters recent wedding in St Louis, Dave Becherer, piano playing far exceeded anyone’s expectations to a most memorable ceremony music! There wasn’t a dry eye in the church ! The beauty of his playing the piano with his fellow musician on the cello to the song of “A thousand years” flawlessly with her entrance will always be that one beautiful moment forever in our memory of that day.
From the very beginning choosing Dave Becherer was the easiest and best decision. At a the time when making so many decision’s becomes overwhelming,stressful, and difficult for your big day. Dave made the ceremony music selection suddenly exciting , relaxing, and absolutely delightful. He was by far a breath of fresh air with not only his amazing talent for playing the piano but for his wit, his sense of humor, and confidence in his performance. His large array of music selections and abilities to preform those effortlessly at a drop of a hat is unbelievable! He will not disappoint you. I can’t say enough about his knowledge, experience, and help in assisting with the selection of music that fits the brides idea’s of the wedding she wants portrayed. He will also give the bride the opportunity to not only have him play the piano but offer fellow musicians to play along if so requested. Dave Becherer is affordable, professional , and plays every song to perfection. A huge bonus with Dave was he did not only play piano at the ceremony itself but he also played piano at the cocktail hour prior to the dinner reception. What a class act.
I truly felt he made a huge impact at making my daughters fairy tail wedding come true that day! I strongly recommend him for any bride to be. He far exceeded our expectations! I only welcome the chance to work with him again given the opportunity. I can’t thank Dave enough for such a successful wedding!

When I decided to have my wedding at the 9th Street Abbey in St. Louis, they gave me recommendations for musicians. I listened to Dave's song list and knew right away that he was what I was looking for. He is very easy to work with and has so much material available that you just can't go wrong.

Working with Dave for my wedding was a great experience. He was professional, polite and talented. As a former wedding musician myself, after meeting Dave, I felt I could trust him to show up at our ceremony and perform without attending the rehearsal. This made the overall cost lower, and I was right - he was great. We asked him to learn a few Metallica covers for our prelude music and he did so, just charging us for the sheet music and slightly higher cost for a "specialized" vs traditional song selection. We also communicated almost entirely by email, since I live out-of-state and he was quick to respond. Overall, I did not find a lot of event pianists in the STL area, so selecting Dave was an obvious choice that we were extremely pleased with. If you are looking for non-traditional song selections, Dave is your guy.

Dave provided beautiful piano/cello ceremony music, as well as a wonderful bass and piano jazz duo during dinner for our son’s wedding. He was extremely responsive, patient and helpful in dealing with the many questions and issues involved in planning the music for the wedding. He attended our rehearsal and arrived early to set up for the ceremony; everything was organized and ready early for the ceremony. Dave is a very responsible person, as well as a highly skilled and versatile musician who can be trusted to provide excellent music for any event.

David did an amazing job at our wedding. He played a variety of classic, pop, and jazz pieces through the course of the night. He was extremely professional, prompt, and easy to work with. I would recommend David to anyone looking for a talented pianist.

Dave Becherer was so amazing to work with! He was very professional and accommodating. He was able to take all of my input and help make the ceremony music so memorable. Dave even took the time to prepare a special arrangement to the popular "A Thousand Years" for me. It was the most dramatic moment of my whole ceremony!! He is so very talented and will go out of his way to please the customer. Quality musician and fantastic guy!

Dave was beyond amazing! First of all, we had a short time-frame in planning our wedding and Dave learned new songs that were important to us very quickly.

Every step of the way, he was awesome to work with . . . always very professional, and very genuine. He appreciated that it was our special day and he helped to make it just that!

He was happy to work with my daughter, who wanted to sing a song for us during the ceremony, and it came off beautifully.

We had planned an outdoor candlelight ceremony in a wine garden, and Dave showed up to a hot and humid day and set up as we took photos, sweating it out with the wedding party. Then a storm blew through just as guests were arriving. Dave went above and beyond, quickly moving his equipment inside to use the Plan B, due to the weather. And then after the storm passed through fairly quickly, we asked him to move everything back outside because that was the ceremony that we had really dreamed about . . . and he did it all with a smile.

After getting wet with sweat, and then with rain, he played beautiful music that absolutely made the ceremony all that we had dreamed it could be. It was beautifully personal and emotional.

I am so happy that Dave was a part of our special day . . . his music, his professionalism and his commitment to our vision meant so much to us both, and to everyone in our families.

My husband and I waited until the last minute to figure out the music for our ceremony. I started looking just two weeks out and someone recommended Dave. He was very accommodating to our requests. He was on time, professional, and did a beautiful job (we had many compliments)! I couldn't believe how great he and the vocalist did considering he received our music requests just one week from the wedding. Thank you so much for being one of the few vendors who did NOT cause us stress during such a busy time!

Best Pianist PERIOD!!
Dave Becherer was so amazing to work with! He was very professional and accommodating. He was able to take all of my input and help make the ceremony music so memorable. Dave even took the time to prepare a special arrangement to the popular “A Thousand Years” for me. It was the most dramatic moment of my whole ceremony!! He is so very talented and will go out of his way to please the customer. Quality musician and fantastic guy!

Classy and Sophisticated! Dave and his jazz trio added such a lovely tone to our wedding cocktail hour and reception. If you are looking to add a classy and tasteful sound to your atmosphere, look no further. Throughout the planning process and the wedding night, Dave and his trio were very professional and friendly. Our wedding guests were so impressed by their musicianship and vibe. As a wedding vendor, he is very flexible and easy to reach, which is always comforting!

We wanted very specific music for our ceremony- David was very helpful in making sure our music was everything we had wanted. David was very responsive and a pleasure to work with.

I left finding an accompanist up to my soloist and did not have one a week out from the wedding (05/18/13) when she found David. He was extremely accomodating and they handled everything without me feeling any stress due to the short notice. The day of the wedding I was extremely happy with the quality of service and had many compliments from guests on the ceremonies music.

Dave Becherer and his wife, Kim, performed at our daughter's September 1, 2013 wedding enhancing the day through their musical talents and personal service. They are both very nice and professional and played for extended periods with very few breaks. The selections were perfect for the style of wedding we had. My husband and I would highly recommend them and feel that they were very reasonably priced for the amount of time they gave us. Dave and Kim made this special day even more special!

was having a problem finding someone to sing and play a musical instrument for my wedding. The problem was I wanted unique songs that are not typically used for a wedding. I was actually referred to Dave by my cousin (a fellow musician.) When speaking to him he was completely laid back. I was extremely satisfied with Dave at our wedding. He is extremely talented and professional. I hand picked many of the songs for my ceremony and his wife (with a beautiful voice) sang the newly learned songs with no problem at all. I would use them again in a heart beat

Dave & Kim performed at my daughter's wedding ceremony and cocktail/dinner hours. They were wonderful and did everything we asked for. We had many comments on the music - Kim's voice is beautiful and Dave did a great job on the piano!

I decided to have just a pianist play at my ceremony. I was more than pleased with Dave's performance. He has an abundance of songs to choose from and he plays them so well. I had no idea what I wanted before I went to Dave's website, after looking through the list a few times I knew exactly what I wanted. I emailed him and he was so helpful and easy to work with. Choosing to have Dave Becherer be your pianist is an excellent choice and I would recommend him to any of my family and friends!

Perfection!

Dave was our pianist for our wedding ceremony, and it couldn't have been more perfect! Our wedding started 45 minutes late due to traffic and he played for our guests the entire time, which was possible with his amazing repertoire. We have received so many compliments on Dave's music, some saying it was their favorite part of the ceremony! We highly, highly recommend Dave for your wedding or special event!

We didn't want to make a big huff and puff at our wedding with some sort of string quartet or anything too fancy. We were having a pretty non-traditional wedding, but still wanted some professional music. I found Dave on The Knot, but once I went to his website and heard his cover of Ben Fold's "The Luckiest", I knew he was our guy. He was willing to negotiate on the pricing and help us out with both the ceremony and cocktail hour and played almost all modern hits instead of stuffy old marches and whatnot. He even accommodated my processional request that wasn't in his repertoire. Overall, he did his job and he did it wonderfully. Well done. :)

I found Dave online and we booked him for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We sent him all of the music we wanted played, some of which were not in his list, so the sheet music had to be ordered, but he played all of them beautifully. His skills as a pianist are amazing and I was happy with everything he played. He brought to life all of the music we requested and we couldn't have been happier. He also helped us out and provided a microphone for us for the ceremony, which was great. If you're looking for beautiful music for your ceremony or event, look no further. He is definitely the real deal!

Working with Dave for our wedding was a pleasure. His website includes an extensive list of songs in his repertoire. Our experience was exactly as advertised. Dave attended our rehearsal on Friday and performed beautifully at our wedding. If you choose Dave as your wedding pianist you will not be diappointed!

Dave was a fantastic addition to our wedding ceremony on 5/19/12. His wedding music added a classy touch to the ceremony. He attended the rehearsal, and quickly offered advice when we struggled with some of the details as we did not have a coordinator. He offered lots of suggestions on wedding music selection, and also gave a list of songs to choose from, and even offered to learn and play any new songs we requested (for the cost of sheet music). We were on a tight budget for the wedding, and Dave delivered above and beyond the amount we paid. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a pianist for their wedding or cocktail hour..

Thank you for doing an absolutely AMAZING job at my wedding! The music was so beautiful and was beyond what I was envisioning. As soon as I stepped out onto the aisle, I heard the piano music and then saw the faces of all my family and friends, and was overcome with emotion. It honestly defined the whole atmosphere and was just incredible. I really appreciate all your preparation--working with me to figure out the unique songs for each part of the ceremony and taking the time to learn them. It's clear that you really understood what I was looking for, and you definitely delivered! Again, thank you so much for making our ceremony even more beautiful than I could have imagined.

I hired Dave to play at my wedding in St. Louis. He offered a wide array of song selections and was willing to learn a new song or two for specific ceremony music that I wanted. I chose the Hammerstine Duo (piano and cello) and they sounded amazing- gave off a very elegant vibe. As the bride, I stayed busy and didn't get a chance to visit with Dave and sit still long enough to hear all of what they were playing, but every guest I've spoken to after returning home commented how beautiful they thought the music was and that they did a great job! Throughout the planning process, Dave was very accommodating- he replied quickly to any question or concern I had and offered advice and his opinion on my ideas and wants so to make our wedding experience the best it could be. I would highly recommend Dave's services for any event!
