The BEST Band Ever

The Matt Winter Band played for our wedding last weekend and they were magnificent!! Five stars isn't enough for this amazing group of musicians. They made sure that everything met our needs and were so caring during every step of the journey. In the planning phase, they made sure they understood what music we wanted for the ceremony, the cocktail hour, the dinner, and the reception. From the ceremony music....to the first dance of the bride and groom...to the fun party collection, they met our every need. They have a HUGE repertoire of songs and they engage with the crowd so well. Right from the start, they had everyone up and dancing and ensured that all of our guests had a great time. They interacted with the crowd and responded to everyone in the best way possible. The feedback about the bank was tremendous. I heard someone say that they "would pay big bucks" to hear them play again and go see their show. We couldn't have been happier with the Matt Winter Band and we would choose them again with no hesitation. If we ever have another big party, you can bet that the Matt Winter Band will be our party band. They are the very BEST!!

Best wedding band!

I got married at The Resort at Longboat Key Club & was lucky enough to have Matt Winter Band as my band. They took into account all my requests & the day went off without a hitch! As soon as we opened up the dance floor, people started asking me where I found this incredible band!! Not only did I have the best experience (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception & after party) but so did all my guests. 5 stars isn't enough!

Also, my husband has always wanted to jump on stage & sing a song at his wedding. The band grabbed us & gave us the stage & it was seriously one of the highlights of my husband's night.

Pick this band!!

Wedding Harpist

We hired a harpist through Total Entertainment by Matt Winter for our wedding ceremony. Not only was everyone so kind throughout the process, you could really tell they cared about making sure we were well taken care of. The harpist played perfectly and we were so happy with how it sounded. Thank you so much for making our big day even more special!

The perfect wedding band!

If you want the best wedding band, look no further. Matt Winter Band was the highlight of our wedding for us and our guests! We got married on 3/29/25 and now, over a month later, our guests are still commenting on how great the 9-piece band was! Matt did a fantastic job curating a song list to keep our guests entertained throughout the night. The dance floor was never empty. Matt, the lead female vocalist, and the band have such amazing voices that everyone can enjoy. The horns section even came down on the dance floor which was really interactive and kept the party going. The entire band is so incredibly talented. Matt Winter Band was even nice enough to share the stage with my dad who wanted to sing a song as part of a family tradition. Additionally, MWB provided us with a violinist who did a wonderful job playing the most beautiful music for our ceremony. We also used MWB for our uplighting which set the party vibe. They were easy to work with and communicated well throughout the planning process. I highly recommend them for any party/event as their song list is very versatile. We cannot thank them enough!

The best band you could hire for your wedding!

Matt Winter band was the entertainment for our beach wedding on 3/9/24. The entire team was INCREDIBLE from start to finish.

The planning and support we received from the Matt Winter team leading up to the wedding was great - they were there to answer all of our questions, help with song selections, and even agreed to learn a few brand new songs for our big day.

The entertainment the night of was out of this world - every single person at my wedding came up to me to tell me how incredible the band was. They got everyone on the dance floor and were so engaging throughout the evening. We also got the DJ Plus package which I highly recommend as they were able to keep the party going for us during the bands (very necessary) break.

If you're getting married, you NEED to book this band, you won't regret it.

The best!!

Matt Winter Band was amazing on our wedding day! They brought the best energy and played fantastic music from their incredibly diverse repertoire. The dance floor was packed all night starting the second dinner was over. The band also learned a few new songs so our first dances could be to the songs we've dreamed of. The entire band is so talented and fun. Couldn't recommend Matt Winter Band enough!

MWB was an awesome wedding band!

We had Matt Winter Band for our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! From start to finish, they brought the energy and everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. They took into consideration what we wanted for the set list and even held a pre-wedding call to review it with us. They were extremely entertaining and very professional and easy to work with. Our guests have not stopped talking about "how awesome the band was!"
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
