About

Are you the type of person who doesn't want a cookie-cutter ceremony? Let your personality shine! You pick the song, any song; I make it sound unforgettable. No matter what you choose, once it's arranged for fingerpicked acoustic guitar or Celtic harp, with vocals or without, it will be a uniquely personal wedding song, and your guests will smile when they recognize it.

It's your day. Be creative. Have fun and express yourself. Want to walk the aisle to the Beatles, Bob Marley, or Beyoncé? It's all up to you. With over thirty years' experience playing, singing, and arranging music for weddings and venues of all types, I offer a unique and tasteful alternative to sopranos and string quartets.

For cocktail hour, I play a wide variety of pop and singer-songwriter selections from the 60's, 70's, 80's and beyond. If you have specific tunes you'd like your guests to hear, just ask!

I'm so happy we had Matt play at our ceremony and cocktail hour

Matt was amazing to work with. He was available for us in a short amount of time and was good at communicating and responding quickly. He was open to using songs and artists we liked! He sounded wonderful the day of our wedding and many of our guests complimented him to us throughout the night. I'm so happy we had him a part of our ceremony. I would 100% recommend!!!!

outstanding

Matt was a perfect fit for my wedding. He accommodated so nicely when I made a special request to walk down the aisle to. He is very professional and has a beautiful voice. I thoroughly enjoyed having him at my ceremony and play during my cocktail hour

I had the pleasure of working with Matt at a recent wedding I can't say enough about his talents! What a wonderful singer and guitarist! The material at cocktail hour was perfect (as were his renditions of the songs) his PA system clear, clean (and not too loud). This is more than 'just' wedding music - this is great music that is right for your wedding. I highly recommend Matt Abell.
