We first met Dave at an open house at a different venue. We were really excited to book him because his personality seemed so great and just what we needed to get our crowd out of their seats. When we met with him a month before the wedding to turn in our ‘play’ and ‘do not play’ list, we had met him at a restaurant in which my husband and I were having dinner. When he arrived he ordered himself a tall Guinness and then ordered a meal. Right before the bill came, he said«let me tip the waitress» and handed her a $ 10 bill. $ 10 wasn’t enough to cover his meal & beer and wasn’t enough of a tip to cover the total that needed to be left for the waitress! When the bill came, he made no attempt to look at it, ask how much his portion was, or anything. It was extremely awkward, so I just paid the bill(and the additional tip) and we left. As far as the wedding day goes, he showed up on time and got set up. He played our ceremony music perfectly and even played piano during cocktail hour. During the reception he did a good job of keeping things going, played great music, but didn’t play everything on our play list and definitely played other songs we didn’t request. We did give him a really long play list though, so there was no way he would have fit all of the songs in. In hindsight we should have made a list of «absolute must play» songs. All in all, the reception music went really well and we received compliments from our guests about the song selections.
