  • Dave was awesome at our wedding!

    Dave was always responsive and accommodating as we were thrashing back and forth getting things done before the wedding. It took us till the last minute to figure out our aisle walk song, but Dave never pressured us as the date got closer. He did an amazing job setting the atmosphere for our wedding and overall we couldn't have been happier!

  • Dave is the best!

    We recently booked Dave Tate for a private event — a ceremony to honor a dear friend. From the very beginning, Dave was incredibly responsive and helpful, assisting with song choices and planning to ensure the music would reflect the tone and meaning of the day. His performance was flawless and deeply beautiful — it added a level of emotion and grace that truly elevated the entire ceremony. We received so many heartfelt compliments from attendees about how much his music moved them. We couldn’t have asked for a better artist to help us honor our friend.
