Anniversary Party•Reviewed on November 21, 2011•From Elmhurst, IL
Dave was a true delight. Not only is he amazingly talented, but he was extremely personable and engaging. He really made my parent's 40th wedding anniversary a day we'll all remember. There is no doubt in my mind that I would recommend Dave and use him again in the future.

Dave was amazing. Everyone and I mean everyone was astounded as to the extent of his talent. He was also a wonderful person. I just can't stress enough as to how exceptional he played and the depth of he music knowledge. He will be booked again. I know it is a tough economy but he should be charging more because he could teach some of our music stars a few things.

Dave did an outstanding job at our company party. He performed for about 300 people during our cocktail hour and provided the perfect background music, creating a very cool vibe throughout the room. His guitar playing was superb and his song choices flowed together nicely.
Highly recommended.

I was very pleased with Dave Byron’s performance and professionalism. He arrived early and setup without further requirements from us, such as electrical cords, etc. Our customer that came in for our semi-annual Customer Appreciation made positive comments regarding Dave’s performance.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on July 14, 2008•From Wayne, IL
Dave Byron is a true professional and was so easy to work with. His guitar playing is exceptional and he fit in so well, playing on a 125 acre estate outside among the trees, stables and horses. It was a beautiful scene for the senses.
Everyone at our fundraiser kept asking how they could find out more about him.
I have not heard anyone that comes even close to the sounds of Dave Byron. Our fundraising group felt very honored having someone of his caliber at our event.

Dave was extraordinary! A major talent and a very nice guy. Choosing the types of music for him to play was easy as he has a vast repertoire. From ages 20 - 90 everyone at our party had such a wonderful time dancing and listening to his music, and watching him perform. It was an event that we, and our family and friends, will never forget. Dave was very professional and the process of booking him was very easy. We would highly recommend this exceptional artist.

My role was to find a performer for an event my boss was hosting. I found Dave Byron through GIGMasters and have had nothing but the best experience with him from beginning to end. Not only is he a true professional - he is amazingly talented. When I received the request to provide feedback, I asked my boss two questions:
1. Do you have any comments about Dave's performance? Anwer: EXCELLENT. 2. Is Dave someone you would enjoy having back? Answer: ABSOLUTELY. That says it all. Dave is amazing. If you are hosting an event, he will be the icing on the cake! Thank you!

the man is extraordinarily talented - music selection outstanding - accommodating for points of "toasting" during reception - and a seriously nice person (as is his wonderful wife who is his assistant) frankly he could play for us every day of the week and we'd be thrilled!!!! can't wait for an occasion to use his special talent again

Dave Byron and his wife are the loveliest people to work with and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him for any event. He is beyond talented. My husband and I have discriminating taste and we are once again blown away and intend to use him in the future. From classical guitar to even a Ted Nugent request he can do it all!!!!!

Wedding•Reviewed on February 10, 2007•From Chicago, IL
This performer was the high-point of our reception and more than we ever hoped for! Dave Byron has got to be one of the most talented artists is Chicago! We listened to his demos prior to requesting him to play at our wedding reception, but the live performance just blew away all of our guests! We specifically requested more of a Spanish-style performance and Dave had no trouble filling the full 3 hours with some of the most beautiful and romantic music many in our audience had ever heard! I would pay money to watch Dave and his guitar any day of the week - this is a first-class performer and talent. The audience loved Dave. An absolutely mesmerizing musician with precision, speed and technical mastery, an absolutely professional experience from first contact through the end of the event, and just an all-around great guy. Thanks for making our reception a memorable experience for us and for all our guests!

Bar Mitzvah•Reviewed on October 11, 2008•From Northbrook, IL
Dave is one of the most amazing, talented musicians I've ever heard. He was so engaging that a small group, studying music, sat in front of him almost the whole time he played and then bought his cds. He went out of way to locate a song we wanted for the Horah dance the night BEFORE the party!! My father asked him to play a song, but couldn't for some reason, and that's the only negative I heard about. I would definitely hire him again.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 28, 2011•From Chicago, IL
Dave is very talented and extremely professional however we would have liked to seen his hair in a pony tail for this type of corporate cocktail reception. He was extremely accomodating and timely. Gave himself more than enough time to setup. His music selection was amazing, appropriate and very enjoyable. We would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a guitarist. What a great experience.

Dave was absolutely AMAZING to have perform at the cocktail hour for our Wedding. From the very first conversation, Dave and his Manager we extremely professional and went above and beyond to assist us. On our Wedding Day, I will never forget walking in to our cocktail room and hearing Dave and thinking, not only did we nail it on the head with choosing to have live music, but I can't imagin anyone bettter than Dave to have play for your Wedding or ANY event. When and if the time comes that we can utilize his talents again...you getter belive we will! Thank you for helping to make our day so memorable and so special Dave!!

Event•Reviewed on July 3, 2013•From Chicago, IL
Dave way exceeded our expectation. He was to consummate professional and unbelievably talented. We hoped he would just add to the atmosphere of the event but soon the quality of the "background" music had everyone's attention. All of our guests gave him rave reveiws. He played a wide range of music and although in our initial discussions he said he would prefer not to do requests as he writes a lot of his own stuff, the requests came in anyway and he accommodated them without an issue. This guy is awesome and I would recommend Dave to anyone who wants to make their event extra special!!!

I’d hire him again without any doubt.
