Alex J. Sent on 11/05/2023Incredible Talent To Celebrate Our Special Day
My husband and I had the pleasure of having Dave as our acoustic guitar player/singer at our wedding in San Luis Obispo, CA and we couldn't be happier with the incredible experience he provided.
Dave brought a level of charm and talent to our wedding that exceeded our expectations. His beautiful voice and skilled guitar playing set the perfect atmosphere for our special day. From the melodies before and during the ceremony to the acoustic tunes during cocktail hour, he created an ambiance that left our guests enchanted and full of joy.
One thing that truly stood out was Dave’s ability to personalize his performance to match our unique style and preferences for the ceremony. It made the whole experience even more meaningful and unforgettable.
In addition to his musical talent, Dave was a pleasure to work with. He was friendly, accommodating, and genuinely passionate about making our day extra special. If you're searching for the perfect musician for your wedding or any special event, look no further. Dave’s talent, professionalism, and genuine dedication to making your day memorable are unmatched.
Thank you, Dave, for helping to create the most magical and memorable wedding day we could have ever hoped for. You were the perfect choice, and we are forever grateful for the beautiful music and atmosphere you helped to provide on our special day.

Dave was a joy to work with from the moment we set the concept for our fundraising event through to the beautiful night when he took the stage under a starry night sky and his voice and music soared to the heavens. There is not a better singer/songwriter on the Central Coast. Kimberly Carlisle, Executive Director, Flag Ranch, Paso Robles -

I had the pleasure of working with Dave Tate at two recent weddings I planned, and I must say, he's absolutely awesome! Dave is not only punctual but also incredibly helpful, always ready to step in when needed. His musical talent is truly remarkable. Dave goes above and beyond by learning to play couples' favorite songs live. There's nothing quite like walking down the aisle or having your first dance performed live by such a talented singer-songwriter.

Dave was amazing to work with! Not only is he an incredible musician, but he was responsive, helpful, and accommodating throughout the planning process. We picked a few songs from his song list and he was kind enough to learn a couple songs for us as well. We had a small, intimate wedding and he set the tone for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner/dances. Cannot recommend Dave enough! -

Jeanine Sent on 03/06/2024Dave is amazing
Dave was a huge part of making our daughter's wedding perfect. He played in the outdoor garden space before the ceremony and cued up the recorded processional and recessional music the bride and groom requested. He has a beautiful voice and we requested several of his original songs, as well as covers such as Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and Ed Sheeran. His performance perfectly complemented the comfortable and cozy vibe of our small wedding and reception. We highly recommend Dave and would be thrilled to have him at a future event.Central Coast Wedding Music's reply:
Thank you for having me Jeanine! It was my pleasure to be a part of your daughter's big day. Wishing you and your family all the very best! -

We were beyond blessed to have Dave perform and play at our wedding. It was magical. He made our ceremony spectacular.
He is so professional, beyond talented and kind. He played “Fields of Gold” as I walked down the aisle as if we were in a fairytale. He also had everyone dancing during our reception. I highly recommend him .Central Coast Wedding Music's reply:

It was such a beautiful day. I wish you and Lucas all the best going forward! -

David was an absolute professional to work with before our event and completely wowed me at our event.

Magical Moments! Highly Recommend
Dave Tate was simply amazing! He made our wedding so incredibly special. Amazing acoustics and vocals. You won’t be disappointed. He sang an original song “Maybe Love” for the ceremony and got so many glowing compliments from all our guests. Me and my husband will forever hold this song near and dear to our hearts. Thank you Dave! Played for our pre-ceremony, ceremony and cocktail hour. Was very helpful in providing recommendations on the flow of music with event. Played all the classics for our guests to enjoy. Friendly, professional, helpful, talented, and prompt. We love Dave and know you will too! Highly recommend him for any event! -

Dave is excellent!
Live music was an important factor for us to set the tone of our guest arrivals, ceremony and cocktail hour. Dave's music helped to create the exact ambiance we were looking for. He was highly responsive and had a lot of great information on his website (including a great song list and samples of his work), which it made him incredibly easy to work with! He even took a special request and learned a new song for my processional down the aisle. I'd completely recommend working with Dave for your wedding!!Central Coast Wedding Music's reply:
Thank you so much, Monique. It was a real pleasure to be a part of your beautiful wedding. I wish you both happiness and success in the future! -

Dave is the perfect musician for a wedding or event
Dave Tate is amazing! Not only did he sound amazing, but his song selections, promptness, professionalism, and communication were on-point. We asked him to do a couple specific songs and he nailed them! We asked him to play at both our wedding and cocktail hour, and it was seamless! He’s easy to talk to, humble, and so talented. His prices are outstanding! Our guests were blown away at how good he sounded! I HIGHLY recommend him for any wedding or event!Central Coast Wedding Music's reply:
Thank you so much Jeremy! What a perfect day. It was a real honor to be a part of your wedding. I wish you both the best! -

Most Magical Part of Our Day
Dave was by far our favorite wedding vendor in every way (and we had a lot of great ones!). Not only is he renowned for his music, but he has the administrative side of things down as well, which is invaluable when planning a wedding (or any event).
He is extremely responsive, so professional, and happily accommodating. From booking, to site planning, to learning special song requests, to setup and takedown, he is beyond prepared - he brings no stress and only adds joy to the day. He might have been the only vendor of our day that didn’t experience any hiccups, when he certainly could have (I’m sure seamlessly moving to three different locations throughout the night - inside and outside - at a large venue in a remote area is not easy! But we never even noticed the transitions!).
Without a doubt, his beautiful renditions of all of our favorite songs amplified the magic of the day by about a thousand. It was like being in our own romance movie with the best soundtrack. Before I even made it down the aisle, the whole crowd was already in tears from his music. My husband’s mom had trouble getting through her reading because she was so moved by his rendition of Annie’s Song by John Denver. You simply can’t recreate the kind of emotion Dave’s music evokes. We feel SO lucky to have been able to experience it.
Dave performed for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. His wife, Victoria, is also a musician and joined in for some songs as well - which was amazing!
Booking Dave for your event will be the most special gift you could give yourselves - hearing him play all of our favorite songs on our wedding day was like reliving all of the best moments in our relationship. Our hearts were so full, and we’re already thinking of planning a weekend getaway to see Dave play again! -

Bonny E. Sent on 06/26/2022A magical start to our dream wedding
David Tate’s music was absolutely the most wonderful way to start our wedding celebration! When we originally contacted him to play for our wedding he wasn’t sure if his schedule would allow for it, but he made it work for us.
David’s extreme talent to create a mood and wonderful romantic atmosphere is so impressive. He played smooth and soulful acoustic classics for our pre-wedding signature cocktail hour as our guests were arriving and mingling and then did a fabulous job playing our selected songs during our processional. His willingness to learn two additional, personally selected songs meant so much to us and definitely was the highlight of our wedding day. The first was one of our favorites for our Unity in Glass Ceremony and then he accompanied our daughters as they sang a very special rendition of Alicia Keyes “If I ain’t got you”.
We would absolutely recommend David to any bride and groom who are looking to add a quintessential touch to their wedding day! -
