    Beautiful ceremony music!!!

    Matt was absolutely amazing to work with! He was very nice, professional, and responsive. He was even able to play Concerning Hobbits for me to walk down the aisle to! Definitely took our ceremony to the next level!!

    Absolutely amazing

    Matt was the violinist for my ceremony and cocktail hour at my wedding yesterday. Our wedding day would not have been what it was without him. He is hands down one of the best violinists that I have ever heard and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He was the talk of the night. Thank you Matt!

    Pure talent

    From the start communication with Matt was a breeze. Not to mention, Matt is extremely talented! His skill on the violin really made our ceremony. It rained on our wedding day but he made it work! Luckily the sky cleared in time for him to come outside to play for our ceremony and the music was beautiful. Our guests loved it and so did we! Thank you so much Matt!

    Incredible experience and value!

    Matt was an incredible addition to our ceremony and cocktail hour! We had a traditional ceremony with classical music and then exited the ceremony to the Game of Thrones theme song, which was epic!! Our guests were surprised and loved everything Matt played. He created the whole ambiance without a hitch! I highly recommend booking SRQ Violinist, it made such a difference in our wedding experience.

    Bride, Anna Schott

    Matt was exactly what I wanted when looking for a touch of extra class for our beach ceremony! He was easy to work with, kind, responsive, & so talented! He showed up on time & prepared, & I had one less thing to think about. I highly recommend him! He was wonderful!

    Beautiful Musician!

    SRQ Violinist (Matt) was the perfect choice for our ceremony music! He is an excellent violinist and was extremely helpful when choosing the music for our ceremony! He also played popular songs on the violin during our cocktail reception which was the perfect blend between romantic and classy! We highly recommend Matt!

    The cherry on top of the perfect day!

    Having Matt for our ceremony and cocktail hour was literally the perfect touch to the perfect day! Matt was great to work with and we are obsessed with his talent! The songs for our ceremony were so perfect. All of our guests loved listening to Matt upon arrival and during the cocktail hour. So thankful to have had Matt join us.

    Breathtaking music performance!

    Matt is so kind very professional! He answers emails quickly, and makes working with him easy and smooth. His playing was breathtaking. We booked him for our wedding 1/22/2021, and we received so many compliments from our guests. We couldn't have been happier, he is fantastic. Would book him again hands down!! Thank you Matt for everything!!

    Siesta Key Wedding in January

    Matt made our small wedding so special. His music was elegant, graceful, and the perfect complement to our ceremony. His timing and song selection made everything flow seamlessly. Matt was responsive to our emails, gave us excellent suggestions for music choices during different parts of our ceremony and cocktail hour, and listened to our input to create the perfect playlist. Matt is a true professional, and we are so grateful he was a part of our wedding day!

    Extremely Talented!

    We highly recommend Matt for any event performance! We went to watch Matt perform many times before our wedding. He is extremely talented, and he is a great performer. On our wedding day, he performed all of our ceremony music and all of cocktail hour. Our guests are still raving about his talent, three months later.

    Best Violinist Ever

    I want to go back to the day of my wedding just so I can listen to Matt Dendy play violin – he's that good. We hired Matt for both our ceremony and cocktail reception at the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota (cocktails at the beach club). Our guests were so impressed with his performance. The best part about Matt is that he's super helpful in the planning process, and boy is he patient because I went back and forth a lot before finalizing the ceremony music. He can play everything from Bach to John Denver to Avicii, so he caters to pretty much anyone's tastes. The day after the wedding I went to the tiki hut at the Ritz Beach Club (next to the cocktail lawn) for lunch and they said, "Oh, we overheard the cocktail hour. Your string quartet was amazing!" They were shocked when I told him the music was all performed by ONE guy – a very talented one at that. Thank you, Matt!

    An absolute must have!

    We chose Matt for our beach ceremony and cocktail hour and it was absolutely amazing! From the beginning he was super responsive and answered all of our questions quickly and thoroughly. We had the opportunity to meet him ahead of time at a restaurant he was performing at in Sarasota and at that moment knew he was going to be the perfect addition to our special day. He has an extensive list of music selections, all of which are amazing! Our guests couldn't stop talking about how perfectly he played every song and how much his music elevated our ceremony. I would highly highly recommend choosing him for your next event!

    The Best! Hands down!

    We hired Matt for our wedding ceremony. All of our guests loved the music and how wonderfully he played the violin. I would hire him again in a heartbeat if I could. Very prompt and quick to answer all of our questions. Truly a great violinist. Do yourself a favor and hire him for your wedding/ event.
    Thanks Matt!!!

    Amazing and Beautiful Music!

    If you are debating using Matt, do it!!! His music was BEAUTIFUL and our family and friends watched our ceremony via livestream and they all commented on how beautiful the music was. Two of the songs I requested he actually didn’t have previously, but he went out of his way to make sure he was able to play those songs for me. And I couldn’t be happier!!! If you’re looking for beautiful music for your wedding day, stop looking and book Matt now!!

    Amazing violinist!

    My husband and I hired Matt for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony after hearing him play at a local restaurant. I love his style of violin playing and the variety of music he plays! We hired him for the rehearsal, because I was honestly sad that I, as the bride, wouldn't get to hear him play a lot during our ceremony. It was the best decision to hire him for both! Our guests loved him! Matt is truly an extremely nice guy, and we really enjoyed getting to know him throughout the process as we continued to watch him play around town. If you are looking for a violinist, Matt is perfect!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    SRQ Violinist was amazing! The music was beautiful during the ceremony and cocktail hour, I loved hearing it. He was so good about contacting me for any requests or questions. Thank you so much for playing the Metallica piece - my husband loved it and the guests are still talking about it!

    Touch of class for our ceremony

    Matt added a great touch of class to our outdoor ceremony. Appearance was professional, performance was excellent. He had a wide selection of classical and modern music, plus he added one custom song at no charge, so we were able to pick our favorite contemporary dance song for the pre ceremony time. It was really neat hearing him turn a dance club song into something that perfectly fit the formal occasion. Nervous and distracted as I was, and even though we were outside, his equipment was perfectly audible above a crowd of 100. Even better, we sprung for the video package with our photographer, so Matt's music is now the soundtrack to the movie of our favorite day ever. We paid $535 total for an hour ceremony plus an hour cocktail service before the reception. Well worth it, it will definitely be part of our memory of that day forever.

    The most perfect day.

    Matt was absolutely amazing and his beautiful music was more then we could have ever imagined! It was so easy working with Matt because he was always so quick to respond and he always stayed on top of the details which made my life so much easier! The day of Matt showed up early with everything ready to go. I did not even see him until I walked down the aisle to the most perfect entrance song. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for some beautiful music for there wedding or any event for that matter!

    Fantastic violinist for Ceremony!

    I hired Matt, owner of SRQ Violinist, after seeing him perform at Art Ovation and at a restaurant downtown. Matt was extremely responsive and super easy to deal with. Matt played at our mass at St. Martha's church. He did a fabulous job! His music is so beautiful and numerous guests mentioned how wonderful he was. I would 100% suggest hiring Matt for your wedding or event.

    Wonderful!

    My husband and I, along with all of our guests, were very impressed with his talent and professionalism. He was easy to get in contact with and very nice to work with. He went over and above to learn 2 songs for our ceremony, that truly meant a lot to us. Highly recommend!
