Christmas Party•Reviewed on January 3, 2009•From Rockville, MD
David played at a dinner party in our home. For the weeks leading up to it, he was especially accommodating because I had very specific requests, including accompanying my young daughter who would be singing as well as my older uncle, and playing for a Christmas carol singalong with the guests. Not only did he do an outstanding job of accompanying our family members and friends, he could play a wide array of music incredibly well, take requests, plus play from his own extensive repetoire. David is so talented and he really made the party a success. Plus he is extremely warm and polite. By the end of the evening, he became part of the family! He's GREAT!

David Zipse is a wonderfully talented pianist and I have absolutely no reservations in recommending him as a pianist and a very professional musician. He was very detail oriented in his communications before hand and traveled several hours in less than favorable weather to arrive on time. My guests were delighted with his playing, all without music, and had a very wide selection. He was the highlight of my party. I felt he was reasonably priced and well worth the money. He was a great value. He is a very personable, talented individual and I look forward to working with him again in the future.

We highly recommend David Zipse for a perfectly seamless experience! There’s nothing we wish him to have done differently. He’s incredibly friendly, accommodating, professional, easy to reach, quick to respond, and thorough in answering all questions. He’s very talented and many guests noted how well he played. We selected some of the music and he played it in the exact order that we requested. He knew most of the pieces and very quickly learned the rest, checking with us to make sure that he would play what we envisioned. We loved all his selections. David didn’t even look at the keys, but watched people proceed down the aisle to time the music just right.

Everyone was amazed by David! My Grandfather thought it was George Winston playing. Many people asked about David and where I found him. I told them all about GigMasters! I could not have found anyone who could have served us better than David Zipse. He was perfect! He was totally professional, extremely talented, very accomodating to ALL our song requests (and my daughter was VERY particular as to the songs she wanted for various parts of the ceremony) David took care of every request. I can't thank him and GigMasters enough!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 8, 2012•From New Castle, DE
We spoke to David several times before our event. He was professional and accomodating, arrived early and made every effort to coordinate with us to ensure that the wedding and the reception afterward was a success. We were both very happy with his performance and received compliments on the musical entertainment. If you are looking for a good pianist to play solo at a wedding, we would strongly recommend that you consider David.

David is a wonderful pianist, he was perfect at our wedding and helped make the day simply wonderful. Make sure you get him to play Rhapsody in Blue and Linus & Lucy - you can't miss his spectacular performance of those two! Thank you, David!

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 31, 2008•From Newark, DE
I was confident that I made the right choice when I arrived at the Country Club 40 minutes prior to the event and David was already waiting even though he wasn't scheduled until 5 minutes prior. My audience was a myriad of 30 somethings through 80 somethings and David easily catered to everyone's ears and an evolution of songs through the years. Volume was appropriate depending on the stage of the event. David was extremely professional, polite to all guests and children, accommodating and flexible to my ever changing needs while making his recommendations when appropriate. Can't wait for the next event when I'll definitely secure his talent and abilities!Gratzi

Event•Reviewed on August 18, 2008•From Fort Meade, MD
David was sure to have his part prepared to the best it could be. He arrived at around Noon (7 hours before the recital), and rehearsed with us until we were all comfortable with the music. Mr. Zipse also showed me that he is a versatile player. Give him any style, and he will play the pants off the music. Closing with a Jazz piece, we all were able to enjoy his amazing gift for improv! Along with being a great musician, David is incredibly reliable. He arrived earlier than he said he would, and even brought a keyboard to practice if we did not have access to a piano for the afternoon. Thank you David Zipse!

David was able to work with me to create the perfect tone for my wedding during the ceremony and reception. He was easy to contact and was more than flexable with my needs. He sounded great and we recieved nothing buy complements about him from our guests.

David is a wonderful pianist and I would highly recommend him for your function. This is the 2nd time we've hired David for private parties in our home and he continues to delight us and our guests. This time, he went above and beyond the call of duty, honoring his commitment to us and trekking out of state after a major snowstorm (20+ inches of snow). Our guests were enthralled with his playing and he helped a create a holiday memory we won't ever forget. We plan to continue to hire David for our private parties. He is just awesome and a really nice guy to boot!

Private Party•Reviewed on December 18, 2014•From Philadelphia, PA
David was well-dressed, and friendly. He played piano very well, and we loved his music selections--he played for our holiday party, and played a nice assortment of top 40, popular music, and holiday favorites. The one minor downside was that he seemed to take a lot of mini-breaks for food. It didn't affect the overall merriment of the event, and our overall review would be, two enthusiastic thumbs up!
:
Thanks for the kind words, Lynne. Yes, everyone did seem to have a great time enjoying the music, singing along and dancing about! I'm sorry that you thought two 5-minute "mini" breaks during a 4-hour gig was too much, but thanks for offering me something to eat. I'm glad "it didn't affect the overall merriment of the event!" Best wishes, David

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 25, 2015•From Wilmington, DE
We had David out for my wife's 50th birthday. It was a party at her sister's home with 15 guests. David came and played during the cocktail hour and was awesome . He showed up early and entertained the kids with some fun songs, took requests, played thru the list I had provided him with of my wife's favorites. He sent just the right atmosphere that I was looking for. He brought his keyboard , his smile and played overtime without even one sheet of music. He even let us gather round and sing a special song with him.Very reasonable. Very professional. Totally satisfied. You won't regret using his services for any occasion. Thanks David!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 2, 2016•From Cape May, NJ
David Zipse did an amazing job for our wedding on 05.14.2016. He went above and beyond our expectations! It was seamless and he played music to fit the mood and crowd. During his breaks, he played music he had on an MP3 player, and all that music was perfectly fitting as well. We had a daytime wedding and opted to not have a DJ and only have piano music. David offered to bring his PA system and announce the entrance of the Bride and Groom and the bridal party and the toasts etc. I would highly recommend him. He is very professional and makes the whole process stress free!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 25, 2016•From Easton, MD
We had the pleasure of listening to David Zipse perform at my mother's 80th birthday party this past weekend. The event was held at a Senior Living Center with about 40 people in attendance. He interacted positively with the audience playing requests as they were made. The guests loved him and didn't want to leave the party. He was gracious enough to stay longer than originally planned which pleased us all. He presented himself professionally throughout his performance. I would strongly recommend David, and plan to use him for future events. Marie Jansen, Easton, MD

Funeral•Reviewed on December 8, 2019•From Glen Mills, PA
David Zipse worked closely with the minister and family to provide the most beautiful music to help us all through a very difficult day. He played my Dad's favorite songs during the visitation and memorial service. He was very professional. The entire family appreciated hearing carefully chosen songs special to us. He even was able to play Turn, Turn perfectly timed with the minister's reading of Ecclesiastes. Everyone enjoyed singing Dad's favorite hymns to Dave's beautiful piano music.
