We are so very thankful to the HämmerString Piano and Cello Duo (+Trio) for bringing such a wonderful ambiance to our wedding day. Having a mix of classical and contemporary music was very important to us as we needed talented musicians that could entertain our guests during our Cocktail Hour, Ceremony and Reception. We were seeking different styles of music for each section of our day, and I loved the versatility of this ensemble. Dave (piano), Jake (cello) and Brian (percussion) performed wonderfully. We received SO MANY compliments from our guests and I was very impressed with their true professionalism and incredible talent. It is difficult to stop and immerse yourself on your wedding day as there are so many things pulling at your attention, but I was delighted to occasionally stop and truly enjoy the incredible music from the group. Dave was very accessible and communicative during the planning process, something I appreciated tremendously. The atmosphere and ambiance the ...

I hired Dave for my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. First, his communication is top notch. Quick and professional. His music is fabulous. You will be very pleased. Highly recommend!

We hired Dave to play at our wedding ceremony. He did an amazing job, evening learning a new song, the Rudy theme song, which my groom really wanted to enter to. He was easy to work with from start to finish. There was a wide selection of music to chose from for all parts of our ceremony and even examples as well. I would highly recommend him for any event!

We wanted live music at our wedding and hired David and it was one of the best decisions we made. He was easy to work with and the music was perfect

Dave was the perfect addition to our ceremony! The music was beautiful! He was so easy to work with and played just want we wanted. We highly recommend him!

Even though we never had a chance to meet in person, David was absolutely wonderful to work with. He was so flexible and responsive. The music for my wedding ceremony sounded wonderful!

I am so glad we chose Dave to play at our ceremony and reception. Several people said how great of a job they did (we had the cello duo). It only took a few minutes of looking/listening to Dave's website before I knew I wanted to book him. One of the best decisions I made! He also responded to all of my emails extremely quickly, which I liked! And he was so easy to work with! Thank you, Dave, for your beautiful music!

We had David play at both our ceremony and our cocktail hour and could not be more pleased. Everything went exactly as planned. His music set the perfect tone for our event. We asked David and Kim to play two songs that were not on his play list and not only were they accommodating but the songs were made our ceremony so special for us.

We had Dave for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and our guests loved it! He has a wide repertoire and plays everything with gusto. As a musician myself, I can appreciate the skill that Dave brings to the table. I kept getting compliments from our guests on how great the music!!

I hired David Becherer for my daughter’s wedding. He was professional ( dressed in a suit) he guided us through the process, promptly answered any and all of our questions. We met at his house and he played some pieces for us to help in our selection of music. We had the hammer string duo ( piano and cello). The music was absolutely beautiful. We had family members in church before the ceremony, texting us about how beautiful the music was. So beautiful, the priest asked them to stay afterwards to record a few of their songs. You can’t go wrong with this duo!!

We used the piano and cello duo for our June 2018 wedding. Mr. Becherer was so easy to work with and had great music choices to customize your wedding. The live music played at our ceremony made the ceremony even more special. The pricing for the services is very fair and I wished we would of booked him to do our cocktail hour also. We would recommend to anyone we know!

We hired HammerString (piano/cello) to provide ceremony and cocktail music and it was the best decision we made! Dave was phenomenal to work with and they learned a new song that was very special to us. They had a wide selection of music to choose from and was the perfect touch to our ceremony. I instantly teared up when I walked into the foyer and heard the music playing. Dave is very affordable compared to other options I found in St. Louis. I highly recommend!

I am so happy we hired Dave to play the piano for our ceremony and cocktail hour. His playing was so beautiful, I got teary eyed as soon as I heard it! Dave played two songs for us that were not already listed in his repertoire and both sounded amazing, as well. Thank you, Dave!

We really wanted a reception that demonstrated the love of Jesus and they were willing to learn more christian songs so that they could play within our "theme." They were amazing, very professional and low stress to work with.
