Photo of Austin Charnis Guitar Austin Charnis Guitar "Austin was a dream to work with - his kindness and generosity was beyond appreciative during our planning process! Austin was able to take on learning a special request to play during our wedding ceremony. Austin also played during our cocktail hour and was a hit with the guests!! Having Austin play as guests entered the ceremony, for the ceremony and for cocktail hour true gave our wedding an elevated feel and made our special day truly feel magical! thank you again from the bottom of our hearts!!!" Based in White Plains, New York (25 miles from New York) 18th September 2026 Jacquelyn M - Wedding Ceremony & Cocktail Hour — Saugerties, NY Photo of Dave Diedrich Singing Pianist Dave Diedrich Singing Pianist "I hired Dave to entertain a small party of 16 people for a special birthday. Our guest list ranged in age from 25 to 85, and it's fair to say that everyone enjoyed his music and entertaining style. Dave was incredibly communicative about logistics, flexible on set list and accommodated a few special requests. His set up was brilliant - lighting, sound and acoustics were great - and it worked well even inside a small room with a lot of people. If you're looking for upbeat entertainment and a "one-stop shop" for a gathering (large or small), I'd highly recommend giving him a call.
