About

After graduating from Berklee College of Music in Boston and I spent years writing and performing throughout the Northeast. Over that time I gained an immense amount of performance experience while learning how to play to all sorts of rooms and crowds, from packed clubs to quiet restaurants. Over the past few years I’ve stepped away from the original performance scene and into the world of events.

Since that time I’ve had the great pleasure of performing music at countless weddings throughout the New England area. I’m often asked to sing for the ceremony, and cocktail hour, and also offer services for the reception for smaller weddings as well. It is a joy for me to provide the musical backdrop for such meaningful events and I look forward to working with each couple in choosing the perfect songs for their very special day.

In terms of music choice for ceremonies I am open to any idea and I will work with the bride and groom to choose the songs that they feel will fit the sentiment and vibe that they’re looking for. If I don’t have a song listed on my song list I will gladly learn it. I’ve performed classical pieces such as Pachelbel’s Canon and the Wedding March but also contemporary songs such as Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud”, Train’s “Marry Me”, and Marvin Gaye’s “How Sweet It Is”. All songs can include vocals or be played instrumentally.

For cocktail hours I try to choose a set list that is celebratory and upbeat while at the same time reflecting the romantic vibe of the day. If there are specific songs that the bride and groom would like played I’m more than happy to oblige.

I take great pride in being a musician and I always bring a high level of professionalism and performance every time I play. My goal each wedding is for the clients to be highly satisfied and for their guests to be impressed.

A phenomenal choice for our wedding music!

We are so thrilled to have worked with Matt Chase for our wedding. Matt provided the music for our ceremony and cocktail hour. We loved having live music at these events, and our guests did too! Matt was so accommodating with learning songs and selecting a playlist for our cocktail hour reception. I am so glad we worked with him for our wedding, and absolutely recommend him for your ceremony (or other event!) as well!

Company Event

Matt was awesome. We reached out for a musician very last minute, a week before our event. He was responsible, flexible, professional. He really works to cater to your needs. His music was excellent and the perfect backdrop for our event. Everyone commented 'the music is such a perfect touch!'

Amazing!

I cannot say enough good things about Matt! We hired him to play at our small intimate beach wedding and we were over the moon with the vibe he brought to the day. He arrived on time and got himself set up. We had him play during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and throughout dinner. In the hiring process, we had told him a few songs that we were interested in having him play, and he actually sent over live recordings, which were amazing.

On our wedding day, Matt was set up outside. We did have some wind and some of our guests gathered indoors for periods of the night which wasn’t expected. Matt took it upon himself to move inside and outside with the crowd always playing beautiful music. We were really really happy with him and of course his voice and musical ability is so so good. He played covers that we liked better then the actual artists! We asked him to play a Tyler Childers cover for the ceromony, Chris Stapleton for our first dance, and others like Jason isbell during the evening which he did without a hiccup’

If you have the opportunity to book with Matt consider yourself lucky! We highly highly recommend.

Perfect for cocktails and dinner

We recently hired Matt to perform at a corporate event during cocktails and dinner. In the lead up to the event, Matt couldn't have been more professional and responsive. He took the time to understand the vibe we were trying to achieve, shared a sample set list for us to react to and was cordial and prompt in every part of our communication.

The day of, he arrived early to set up, taking extra care to ensure everything would go smoothly and most importantly the music was amazing! We opted for a mix of classics ranging from Tom Petty/Van Morrison/Bruce Springsteen to more current songs along the lines DMB/Chris Stapleton/Foo Fighters. Matt performed every song perfectly and our group couldn't have been happier - I caught many people singing along! Don't hesitate to hire Matt! We most certainly will again!

A showstopper for any event.

I was lucky enough to meet Matt while searching for someone to perform for a surprise 25th anniversary party that I was hosting for my wife.
After watching Matt’s videos and emailing with him I realized he was the perfect choice. After the privilege of having him perform at our event, I now realize I underestimated him! Throughout the whole process Matt was responsive and supportive in every way possible. Throughout the night many of my guests commented on how amazing he was and what an asset he was for the event. One of the most memorable moments of the night will be my son Nick (an aspiring vocalist) joining Matt to perform Your Song by Elton John, truly amazing. I can’t recommend Matt. enough to do him justice. He is a showstopper for any event.

The perfect choice!

Having an intimate wedding that revolved around food, we wanted entertainment but did not want to break the bank on a band and couldn't stand the thought of cheesy dance tracks bumping from a DJ. Matt was the perfect choice!! He really listened to our music preferences playing all of our favorite artists and songs. The specialness he brought to our ceremony and our first dance by having a very talented musician singing our favorite songs to backdrop these moments was priceless. We were a little hesitant that by having one musician our guests might not have felt inclined to dance but we should not have feared! Matt had everybody up and partying and the night ended in a giant sing along. It was more than we could have ever envisioned or asked for. I would hire him for future parties as he really is so talented and your guests kept mentioning what a wonderful choice we had made.

The Perfect Musician for Our Wedding!

We hired Matt Chase to play our wedding ceremony (guitar) and cocktail hour (vocals + guitar) in Scituate, MA this past summer. After hearing him play a few times locally, we knew he'd be the perfect fit for the acoustic atmosphere we were going for. He was SO great to work with, always responding promptly and sharing helpful suggestions to make sure the day ran as smoothly as possible. He customized his set list to fit the vibe we were going for during the cocktail hour, playing songs we had requested along with other fun ones that our guests all enjoyed. AND he even learned our first dance song so he could perform it live for us during the cocktail hour (we wanted to do it before the reception began) - it was absolutely perfect, he did such a phenomenal job!! From start to finish, working with Matt for our wedding was completely seamless and such a great experience - I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, talented musician for their wedding!

Absolutely perfect!

We cannot recommend Matt highly enough! From the very first email, I knew we were in great hands for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour music. Matt was friendly, professional, incredibly talented (!!), flexible, and experienced. He has a massive range of styles, songs, and vibes to choose from, but additionally offers to tailor his performance to your request. It felt like he really understood how important/special of an event this was, and he made collaborating fun, personalized, and reassuring. After our first correspondence, we were confident that he would be fantastic - and we were right. Thank you so much, Matt! You made our big day even more magical!

Fantastic Experience

Matt was excellent throughout the entire process of planning and performing. He sent us numerous samples and emphasized that we could send him our own requests for precessional songs. We ended up requesting 2 songs in addition to what he had available and he performed them beautifully. He continued to play during the cocktail hour and struck a balance between setting the vibe and not overpowering conversations. We’ve had a number of guests comment on how great he was and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a guitarist.

Matt is an excellent performer and exactly what we were looking for!

We hired Matt to play at our wedding, it was only 18 people so we wanted some easy background music that we could all enjoy. Matt absolutely knocked it out of the park, he played different types of genres that sounded great with the acoustic guitar. He totally fit the vibe we were looking for. Matt was so easy going throughout the whole process, and even learned a few songs for us to choose from for our first dance and recessional. He was accommodating to us and our guests by taking song requests throughout the day. I would 100% recommend Matt and I couldn’t be happier with the how well he performed for us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
