We couldn't have asked for a more perfect addition to our wedding day than Dave Tate! From the moment I found him online, I new I wanted him to be our wedding singer. He has such a perfect quality to his voice and his guitar playing is impeccable.
Dave seamlessly blends classic love songs with modern hits and created an incredibly romantic and lively atmosphere that had music that everyone could enjoy.
Dave was truly professional, responsive to our requests, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. We are so grateful for his talent and contribution to making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Dave was a true professional and such a wonderful addition to our wedding. Out of all of the vendors I reached out Dave stood out for how easy and responsive he was in the planning process. He was flexible and accommodating as our needs changed which we really appreciated. He is extremely talented musically and we really enjoyed the atmosphere he brought to our wedding reception dinner hour. He learned a new song for our first dance and absolutely crushed it! Hire Dave for your wedding or event you won’t regret it.

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 wedding’s 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 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!

Dave brought the perfect vibe to our academic conference through his music. We had him play for an hour at our end-of-conference dinner. The music he played (acoustic mixed with vocal) truly brought a great atmosphere to the event. He was very easy to communicate with and had no trouble setting up on time and in a professional way. Wishing I had him for my wedding too! Highly recommend!

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 absolutely AMAZING in helping me pull of the perfect engagement in Zion National Park. I spoke to Dave by phone for an initial meeting to describe what I was trying to pull off. Dave offered up great advice, provided me with some recommended song selections and even went so far as to learn a special song request I had so he could play it while I was proposing. Before my fiancée even realized that a proposal was forthcoming, she was already crying at the view and hearing Dave’s voice. She said it was the most romantic place she had ever been without even knowing that everything had been arranged for our engagement. Needless to say, it only got better from there. Thank you Dave for making our engagement such a romantic and special evening!!! I could not have done it without you.
