Dave Dove and weddings are like coffee and cream - they are made for each other.

Dave Dove provides personable, heartfelt and carefully arranged acoustic covers of popular music hits from across the decades to help create the perfect mood for your event. From You've Got A Friend to Hot Stuff, Dave has the right mix of songs and styles that you're looking for.
