Wedding Receptions

A musical mix is often requested; typically, live music for cocktail hour and dinner then mobile DJ for much of the traditional celebration and dancing. Best of both, music only experienced in a live performance with expeditious interpretation of musical form, style, dynamics and more; an interaction between listeners and performers, molding the performance to compliment the event, never seeming to leave the core intent of the composition(s). Later, familiar recorded pop music, foretold performances. Also, Dave often provides music for wedding ceremonies.

Refined Dining
