My wife and I hired Daniel in September 2025 to play live music at our wedding reception. Daniel’s pricing was very reasonable and he was also very accommodating with all aspects of the arrangements, nothing was an issue. On the night he kept himself available to extend out the performance if it was required. Daniel ended up playing for an extra hour as it was inappropriate to end the reception entertainment at the pre-arranged end time. Everyone was enjoying Daniels music and his ability to play songs that guests requested from him. We were that impressed by Daniels performance that we have recommended him to other friends of ours for their wedding’s. Another thing to note was Daniels organisational and communication skills, every detail was considered well before the evening. This gave us much peace of mind leading up to the wedding when we had so many other wedding aspects to deal with. Would love to hire him again one day and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a quality professional performer.

His unique voice and talent with putting his spin on songs is a reason why the regulars keep returning when he plays and he gets a set of new fans as well! Do yourself a favor and add Dan to your performance gig guide!
