Such a great guy!

Matt was so professional and self sufficient, there was zero hand holding which I appreciated since I was a bit overwhelmed. He showed up confident and so professional. If I could give 6 stars I would!

Great Pianist and a Great Guy

Matt is absolutely a professional at what he does! We reached out to him relatively close to our wedding date because our original pianist couldn't play during the Mass, and that was the best happy accident we could have! He was very quick to respond and willing to play with some other violinists we hired for the Mass, and he joined with them seamlessly. His professionalism will leave you stress free and your ears happy!

Ceremony and cocktail hour

I got married last October in Vermont and Matt played piano for my ceremony/cocktial hour. I would highly recommend him for your wedding. He is so talented and was able to do a great mix of old and new songs that the guests told me they really enjoyed. He’s so easy to work with and listens to what vision you have and what songs you want to hear and then executes it perfectly. There wasn’t a single song he told me that he wouldn’t be able to play. The combination of his talent and easiness to work with makes him a perfect hire for your wedding!

Wedding Ceremony Guest Arrival

Matt played the piano for when our guests arrived before our wedding ceremony. Leading up to the wedding, he was easy to get in touch with, and took our requests for songs that we wanted him to play. On the day of our wedding, he came fully prepared with his list of songs and was dressed to fit the part! Matt played beautifully, and it was exactly the touch we needed to start our perfect day. Guests raved about how talented he was and how his music really made their arrival special. We highly recommend using him for your special day!

Exceptional Pianist and an Incredible Human

I’ve had the joy of experiencing Matt’s music live since I was very young and every single time I hear him play, I walk away more impressed. He’s always had a rare gift with music. He doesn’t just play beautiful music but he knows how to read the room and can adapt to the moment, mood, and people around him.
Whether it’s an elegant evening, a happy celebration, or a more intimate setting, he always knows exactly what to play to make it feel just right. His flexibility to play a variety of music is unreal. He can shift from oldies and classics to new favorites with ease, because he can pick anything and everything up so easily. Everything is played from the heart.
Beyond his talent, Matt always brings a warmth to any space. Matt is a person that people have always naturally gravitated towards since I have known him. He’s humble, easygoing, and always puts a smile one your face whether music is involved or not.
Matt is truly an exceptional pianist and person all around. Whatever you are planning…he will be sure to bring whatever you want to the table and really make your special day...the best day ever!!

Sunday morning Wedding

We can’t say enough about Matt! He is a fabulous pianist who can play anything off the cusp. He is able to listen to a song the first time and play it perfectly. Matt helped create the perfect play list to fit our quaint Sunday morning/afternoon wedding. We rented a piano for Matt to play which made it easy since the hall didn’t have one. I would hire him in an instant for any big or small events! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

Professional, courteous, and timely.

Everyone who knows Matt knows he is an extremely talented musician. What impressed me most about him however was his professionalism. He was extremely communicative, timely, and pleasant to work with on all fronts. He understood our needs on our big day and worked hard throughout the process to make sure we had no unwelcome surprises. I would definitely recommend Matt for any wedding, gig or event after the great experience we had with him.
