Dave Panico - Saxophonist

My experience with Dave was one of the most challenging of all of my wedding vendors. So challenging that on the day of my wedding Dave failed to perform the order of music as we had previously discussed. Dave did preform music before the ceremony began, but during the ceremony was a long awkward silence. Noticeable enough that our guests commented, "why did your musician stop playing and let us sit there in silence?" Dave was more focused on "money", and less focused on providing the music service in the order as his client requested. Of course he would be compensated for his service. When a musician is more focused on financial gain, and less concerned about providing the service to the highest standard for client, this translates as lack of passion, this is very risky, and you should look elsewhere!

It was also imperative that we had a chance to practice with Dave for my wedding rehearsal, via in-person or virtual. Even with a 4 month notice, and offering compensation Dave refused to make himself available to participate in such an important rehearsal. Again, the only vendor unavailable. And also one of the most important vendors for the ceremony. As a result the live music was a let down for my wedding day. There were so many red flags that I should have taken heed to when booking Dave, but I was just hoping for the best, and wanted to be accommodating (considering he had been practicing two songs that I requested). This was the worst decision. I regret not parting ways and booking a more easy going musician to preform for our wedding day. My experience was sad, stressful, and disappointing.

Professional. The audience was very pleased with his performance. Some even commented he reminded them of Kenny G. I'm glad he was our choice for the event.

We couldn't have asked for a better entertainer. Dave brought all the equipment we needed to entertain our house full of guests. Our party was around 30-40 people and I think every one of them made it a point to say how much they enjoyed Dave and his music. Will be booking again.

Dave was very professional through the process. He really knows how to set the mood for a good party. He was very friendly and works the crowd. I'd highly recommend.

Dave did an excellent job and arrived on time. He played music from his CDs, popular music, and took our request. Our guests had a wonderful time. Everyone was well pleased with Dave.

I can not say enough amazing things about Dave and his band mates. Everything was perfect and they set the mood for the night amazingly. Can not wait to have them again.

David was Great! He did a wonderful job on the music we picked out. The only issue that came up was after playing, he asked for payment. Payment had already been made through the website. I had to explain to him how he was going to get paid. That was the only issue we had. I would definitely recommend David to anyone!

Dave Panico and band provided a great musical experience for my party. The sound and style were perfect! Volume was just right to have an impact but let people communicate. Everyone loved the tunes. Thanks again for a great night of top entertainment!

This was our first time using GigSalad and we couldn't have asked for a better, easier, more positive experience! Dave was absolutely wonderful to work with, but the level of professionalism was outstanding! What an outstanding group of musicians Dave put together! We will most definitely ask for his services at any of our future events! We could not recommend them, or GigSalad higher! Absolutely wonderful!

Dave is a very nice guy and we had so much fun listening to him. Great great music. Everyone was asking me where i found him. Once of the best evenings at my house in a very long time.
