Amazing band!

Matt Wilson was an excellent choice for a band, start to finish. Matt was super easy to talk to, very accommodating and understanding about our song choices, and totally nailed everything the entire night. They did a fantastic job MCing, making the whole night go off seamlessly by announcing each portion of our evening- and they kept the whole place dancing!!!! They were fun, engaging, very talented singers, knew how to ply the crowd. I couldn’t have asked for better on my special day. Really thankful they were there for us.

The Matt Wilson band made our celebration a huge success. Their range of songs, their understanding of the process for an event, and awesome talent!

Matt and his crew knew exactly how to work and read a crowd. IDealing with Matt was actually the easiest part of our party. They came in and did their business. After talking with multiple guests, they said the band made the party. Highly recommend! Thanks, Matt and the rest of your band! Top Notch!

We have received so many comments from our guests about how much they enjoyed the band at our wedding. If you are looking for a band for your wedding, you need Matt Wilson Band!

Storey Torres Wedding - New Orleans

Matt Wilson Band made our wedding an absolute blast. They are very capable of playing a wide variety of music and reading the crowds energy. Their sound was fantastic. Matt was very easy to work with and responsive leading up to our wedding and listened to any suggestions we had.
We have gotten so many compliments that they were the best wedding band anyone has heard. Everyone had so much fun, and they easily kept the New Orleans crowd on the dance floor all night.

Hands down the best experience of the entire wedding planning process! The Matt Wilson Band killed it. They kept the dance floor alive and our guests entertained all night long.

Incredible Night

The Matt Wilson Band was incredible to work with from the first discussion about hiring them through to the wedding day celebration. We could not have been happier. At the reception our excitement about finding them just grew. Their positive energy, the quality of their playing and singing, and the overall vibe was electric. They had our wedding guests young and old on the dance floor until the last song. We enthusiastically encourage future events to hire the Matt Wilson Band.

Best Wedding Band EVER!

Matt and his band brought the energy we were looking for to have a great wedding night. The sound was amazing, Matt is a true performer and the band all really enjoyed making everyone get up and dance. Matt even let me sign Shout! with him and the band, it could not have been a cooler experience.

If you're looking for a band to cater to multiple generations, get everyone on the dance floor (including my 88 year old grandmother), and do so all in a professional and flexible manner, then look no further than the Matt Wilson Band. I wanna throw another party just so I can have them play again! Could't recommend higher.

Recently we were honored to have the Matt Wilson Band entertain at our wedding reception. Wow! What a night! Several guest told us Matt and his bandmates were by far the BEST wedding band they had ever heard. And I agree! He does it all, from being MC to working with us on our song selections to playing a wide array of music that will satisfy all age groups. Towards the end of the evening, the dance floor was packed with kids to 80 year olds. And not only are they a very talented group of musician, they are very professional too. Matt and gang, thank you for making this very special evening a wonderful memory for all that attended. Can’t wait to hear you again!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
