Highly recommend

We hired the Matt McCallie Orchestra for a cello and violin on our wedding. They performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They showed up on time, had the most adorable dog to help set up and played beautifully. There were lots of songs to choose from and Matt was quick to respond if I had any questions

Beautiful Music Amazing Experience

Matt was very helpful with song selections and did an amazing job transforming from our ceremony quartet to a bluegrass band for our cocktail hour. It was just all wonderful!

Matt and his String Quartet were the perfect touch to the Sunday Noon Wedding Brunch Reception at the Beautiful Old Post Office Venue in downtown St Louis. Our guests were very complimentary to me as the mother of the Bride. They said the music was fantastic and easy to talk over . They were fabulous
