“We had the absolute pleasure of having Matt play at our wedding, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a more perfect musician for the day.
Matt created a beautiful, joyful atmosphere throughout the day. It was the perfect vibe for our wedding, warm & easy listening with excellent song choices.
So many of our guests came up to us throughout the day to tell us how incredible they thought he was. He clearly read the audience and played exactly what suited the mood to keep guests bobbing along all day.
If you’re looking for someone to elevate your event, we couldn’t recommend Matt more highly. He was so professional, talented and genuinely kind. He put in a huge amount of effort beforehand to ensure the event was everything we dreamed it would be. He helped make our day unforgettable & we are endlessly grateful!”
