Matt's playing literally had a lot of us in tears, it was SO good! I highly recommend having him play his arrangement of "Wonderful Tonight" at your wedding. He plays a perfect mix of popular contemporary songs as well as some traditional classical guitar music. He's super easy to work with too - very laid back, yet very clear with his communication. He's not a pushy salesman either, which we rant into with a few other vendors.

My wife and I hired Matt to play at our daughter's wedding this year. Matt can truly play anything! I was so surprised that he was able to accommodate all of our bizarre musical requests. He couldn't be easier to work with to boot!

Matt played for our daughter's wedding and we couldn't have been happier with the results. His acoustic guitar playing before the wedding ceremony set just the right tone and filled the church with beautiful music. Matt's playing gave a jumpstart to a truly glorious evening.

Matt played for my daughter's wedding and did a FANTASTIC job. He consulted with the bride and groom on music and they were very pleased. I LOVED his selection of classical pieces and the performance was flawless. Thank you Matt!
