We hired Dave Baker to play for my birthday party last weekend at The Gallery at Freeman's in Eagle Village, Wayne, PA. We were 40 for cocktails and dinner beginning at 7 p.m. Dave was terrific. He played beautifully and provided exactly the kind of background and mood music we were looking for. He was great to work with - responsive, organized, and punctual. He arrived at 6:30 and set up and plugged in easily and unobtrusively as the wait staff was putting finishing touches on the room. We appreciated his extensive playlist and being able to select in advance a few songs that were sentimental to us and our family and friends. He was able to glean for those selections the kind of music we were going for, and filled in all four hours on his own to provide the perfect ambiance. We recommend Dave wholeheartedly for any gathering you might have, from small to large.

Dave was easy going, read the room well and adjusted volume as event progressed. His repertoire of music was extensive, varied and well suited to our retirement party. We would definitely use him again and highly recommend him for others hosting similar events.

Dave performed for us after we fell into a little pinch with a 2 hour notice. Came right over set up and played background acoustics for us. It was perfect for our post-golf tournament cocktail party. Thank you Dave!!
Acoustic Band, Guitarist
Dave did exactly what he was hired to do. Near the last minute, I decided to see if I could have background music at a family lunch. He was professional and required nothing of me beyond basic information. All reward, no hassle!

Dave was amazing. He was responsive, arrived to the venue early and was set-up with everything ready to go before our guests even arrived! His guitar playing was exceptional and he even stayed a bit longer than we booked him for. Thank you Dave for your great service!

We had Dave as the guitarist for our intimate celebration dinner (corporate) at the Rodin Museum - he really was the icing on the cake and created a wonderful atmosphere for our guests.

Dave is great! He played a lovely set for a group of friends looking for a ray of sunshine during this dark time. He was a pleasure to deal with and super talented!
Jazz Guitarist
Great artist! Planning to book for future events
Acoustic Band
Hired for a small, private event - where he played for 5-10 people. He always responded within the hour, very easy to work with, and of course a great musician. I would highly recommend Dave, and plan to use him again if I have an event in the area.
Guitarist
Dave was excellent at my father's memorial reception. Communication was great, he was flexible with start time. He even let me plug in my acoustic to play for my family in honor of my Dad. His finger style playing and nylon string acoustic sounded beautiful. Perfect!!

Response from Dave Baker:
I enjoyed playing with! Thank you for the review.
Dave
Dave's music was the perfect accompaniment to our outdoor party; everyone enjoyed his playing. Dave showed up on time and was professional and responsive both before and during the event. Highly recommended.
Guitarist
Dave was exactly what we had needed for our evening "Fall Fling", event. He provided a light background music ensemble, of many of the popular tunes from the 70s and 80s. His acoustic renditions were very well played, and at the exact sound level to allow for light conversation among the guests.
Guitarist
We had Dave play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. We were not the best communicators leading up to the event as my wife and I were starting new jobs, moving and planning a wedding at the same time. Dave was forgotten in the mix. We provided Dave our song list and a custom requested track a week before our wedding. Being the all-star he is, he nailed the custom request and sounded lovely throughout the entire performance. A+ dude.
Guitarist
outstanding music and tone

Dave was very professional, talented, and on time, I would hire him again and recommend him to everyone!
Guitarist
Dave played for Father's Day at Willow Valley and our Residents loved him. It was an extra special treat and he would be a great addition to any Independent Living Communities' entertainment program. We plan to invite him back again to play in some of our different buildings.
Guitarist
Dave was wonderful to work with, he was kind, very responsive and professional from the beginning. He had wonderful music selections, was open to other suggestions and sent me a CD to listen to prior to hiring him for our wedding. Dave's music was beautiful and added such a nice touch to our intimate beach wedding! I would highly recommend Dave to anyone looking for a guitarist.
Guitarist
Dave gave our cocktail hour and sit-down dinner the perfect background music. Blended in perfectly with the evening. Lovely to listen to but never intrusive to conversation. He brought Rick Kurtz who added dimension with cello and bass.
Guitarist
Dave understood exactly what we wanted and needed for our wedding reception and created exactly the ambience and experience that we envisioned. He is very professional and incredibly talented, and also knew exactly when and how to communicate with us to eliminate rather than add stress to the event. We would completely trust him to provide entertainment for any event that we plan in the future.
Guitarist, Jazz Band
We are totally sincerely pleased with our whole experience of having Dave perform at our Wedding! Dave played thru the ceremony and also the Formal Dinner Reception that we had for our Wedding Guests. Our Guests are still remarking how great the music was and how Dave added the extra elegant touch to our whole Wedding! And it was refreshing not to have the Loud Band or DJ that drives the older family members home sooner!
Thru the planning process Dave always was kind and offered suggestions and was always available when I had questions on planning our big day!
If anyone would like to speak to me for additional testimonial, please feel free to contact me at stacy.manngabel@mascocs.com, I firmly believe in Dave Baker's talent and professionalism

Testimonials
We were extremely pleased with Dave Baker's performance. His musicianship is certainly of true concert quality. We had a number of musician friends who commented on his beautiful playing. His choice of music was perfect. Very enjoyable to listen to without being intrusive to conversation. Dave Baker is obviously a true professional, and a very pleasant person to deal with. He was very prompt in responding to emails. We would certainly hire him again. A few of our guests took his name for their own future events.
