-- Emily B, Alpharetta, GA, 8/28/2010
- David was perfect! He performed at our family reunion last night and was a big hit! When we ate dinner, he set the perfect mellow tone and later when it became appropriate, he sang and we danced to his music. Then, when we wanted my cousin to get up and sing, he was there with a hugh book of song ideas for her and backed her up beautifully. He is a true professional. We were thrilled and will hire him again! -- Halley M, Dunwoody, GA, 8/7/2010
- David Payton is amazing! Our guests loved his music and his voice is also wonderful! He's an engaging entertainer, fun to listen to, and is able to read an audience quite well.
Our reception went wonderfully and part of that was due to David Payton as our entertainment. He's professional, prompt, and above all an amazing talent, far better than any performer I've seen at a wedding reception.
If you want your guests to have fun and have your guests walk away saying how much they enjoyed the evening, make sure you book David Payton! -- (ms.) Joey E, Dahlonega, GA, 8/6/2010
- David was an awesome entertainer. His song selections were a perfect fit for our event and he even took requests from the crowd. He exceeded our expectations and we would definitley look to hire him again for another event. -- Rachel B, Birmingham, AL, 10/1/2011
