Response from David Bathen:
Thank you for such a beautiful review. It was an honor playing for you guys!
We were blessed to be able to book David last minute for our wedding. His price is reasonable compared to other violinists I had looked into. He was very flexible and provided us with exactly what we wanted. He was very patient with us....we got really busy after the ceremony (as all couples do) and we didn't get a chance to pay him the rest of the balance until much later in the reception, but he was so understanding and friendly. We were glad we booked him and that he shared and enjoyed our wedding celebration.

I re-proposed to my wife Jessica this past Valentines Day, and had the wonderful pleasure of having David play for our special moment! David was amazing; he cold not have done a better job! He played the songs we requested perfectly, and also free-styled in the moment setting the mood and ambience. I highly recommend David for your event, he brings incredible talent and a kindhearted, warm energy...you will not be disappointed!

David added so much to the wedding. His violin playing was beautiful, it helped make everything magical and memorable. His song repertoire was just perfect, not to mention he learned and performed the songs we wanted perfectly. Highly recommend him and would hire him again in a heartbeat.
