David provided a breathtaking musical backdrop to our wedding, effortlessly enhancing the ceremony and celebrations with his extraordinary talent. His ability to craft a warm, elegant atmosphere through his playing was nothing short of magical, setting the perfect tone from the moment guests arrived.  

His performance throughout the ceremony was beautifully executed, creating many moments of deep emotion and meaning. Learning two brand new pieces of music for us was true magic! Then, as the celebrations moved outdoors, his music flowed seamlessly into the sunny courtyard, filling the space with an intimate yet vibrant energy that kept everyone engaged.  

Beyond his exceptional musicianship, he was a joy to work with from the very beginning - professional, passionate, and dedicated to ensuring that every note was perfect for our special day. If you're looking for a musician who can truly elevate your event, we cannot recommend him highly enough!  Catherine & Ben - Curradine Barns

'David played for our recent wedding ceremony and was absolutely perfect. We had so many comments from guests to say how much they enjoyed the music, it really set the scene and created a lovely atmosphere. David was communicative and friendly throughout the planning process and played a beautiful adaptation of one of our favourite songs for the processional. We would definitely recommend!'

John and I want to express our sincere thanks to you for contributing to making our wedding day the best day of our lives. The ceremony went perfectly and the timing of the music was just brilliant. We loved the understated yet classy atmosphere your music brought and so did our guests. You have also been very helpful and friendly throughout the planning process, which we have truly appreciated! Thank you so much. Sofia & John - Dewsall Court

We recently got married and were privileged to have David play for our drinks reception. From the moment we walked in to David playing "Here Comes The Sun" on our beautiful Spring afternoon he captured the mood perfectly and we could not have asked for a better compliment to our day. We had so many compliments from our guests of the lovely relaxed mood of the reception which David was a huge part of. Thank you so much David. Absolutely perfect!! Faye & Jack - Dewsall Court

David is an accomplished musician with incredible talent. He performs an interesting set of varied classic and alternative songs - the perfect backdrop for any event. Speaking from the perspective of an event professional and guest, I highly recommend booking David. Jade H

David also volunteered to learn some personal favourite songs of ours and this really showed just how passionate he was about music but also to make sure our day was perfect. I cannot recommend David strongly enough and implore anyone looking for an acoustic guitarist to consider him. Michael & Zofia, Brympton House

Whether it’s a particular piece to walk down the aisle to, or beautiful background music for the drinks reception, I can provide the perfect musical accompaniment to your day. I have a large repertoire of classic & modern pop songs, all played in a folky acoustic style, along with many classical, jazz and folk pieces. I can prepare & learn special pieces for your day & tailor the music to complement the ceremony perfectly.

My approach to providing music for weddings is to bring the heart and soul of the song to the fore.

Fingerstyle guitar playing is a highly skilled way to incorporate the melody, rhythm and chords of the song into a solo instrumental performance, without the need for any backing tracks or loop pedals at all.

I pride myself on taking each song and arranging it in a way that captures the essence of the original but makes it suitable for the wedding setting, so feel free to request songs in any genre and I can create a beautiful folky arrangement.

My playing style is influenced by folk guitar greats such as Nick Drake and Bert Jansch, and I bring this musicianship and ability into my wedding performances.

It is a privilege to be asked to provide music for a couples special day, and I care deeply about getting every detail right, and creating the perfect atmosphere for different parts of the day.

I have provided music for over 100 weddings and events, including some of the most high-end wedding venues in South Wales and The South West of England.

I can play in large and small spaces, indoor & outdoor, and have high quality battery powered amplification, so it’s easy to set up anywhere, without the need for power outlets or extensions. If you have a friend or relative that you would like to sing as you walk down the aisle I will happily accompany them on guitar, and provide a microphone and amplification for them to use.
