    Highly recommend

    We hired the Matt McCallie Orchestra for a cello and violin on our wedding. They performed during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They showed up on time, had the most adorable dog to help set up and played beautifully. There were lots of songs to choose from and Matt was quick to respond if I had any questions

    Beautiful Music Amazing Experience

    Matt was very helpful with song selections and did an amazing job transforming from our ceremony quartet to a bluegrass band for our cocktail hour. It was just all wonderful!

    Matt and his String Quartet were the perfect touch to the Sunday Noon Wedding Brunch Reception at the Beautiful Old Post Office Venue in downtown St Louis. Our guests were very complimentary to me as the mother of the Bride. They said the music was fantastic and easy to talk over . They were fabulous

    I hired a string quartet for my ceremony and cocktail hour through Matt McCallie. He was so easy to deal with and answered my emails promptly and in great detail. My questions never went unanswered and he quickly put together a custom package for my husband and I. The current hits played by the quartet during the cocktail hour are still talked about by my guests to this day and the music provided pulled my entire wedding ceremony together. The quartet arrived on schedule and was very professional. A+ service!

    Matt was great, very friendly and personable with guests. He provided quality entertainment with both mainstream music and Christmas tunes to add merriment to the holiday atmosphere. His music style complimented the reserved nature of the meeting.

    Matt and his orchestra added the perfect touch to the reception making it both elegant and fun. The wide range of music they played was enjoyed by all ages and Matt was flexible with all of our song requests too. I highly recommend using them for your wedding or special event.

    Matt was also a great communicator from the first time we started discussing the possibility of using them as the band for the wedding. All requests by email or phone were handled promptly and professionally by Matt himself.

    Friends and family are still talking about the reception and the amazing job Matt and his orchestra did.

    A huge thank you to The Matt McCallie Orchestra for the wonderful job you all did at our wedding! It was perfect! My husband and I received so many compliments about the music! It made our wedding ceremony even more beautiful than we'd ever imagined.
    I initially contacted Matt only 3 weeks before the ceremony and he was still able to pull everything together (a pianist, violinist and guitarist), even when we had special song requests. He was very professional to deal with and was super helpful from beginning to end. The price was also very reasonable.
    Thanks again Matt!

    We want to pass along how wonderful Mr McCallie and the String Quartet performed at our Daughter's wedding. The music was beautiful and really set the ambiance for the wedding. It was an exceptional experience with the live music, the beautiful day, lovely bride and handsome groom. The music just made the ceremony all that more special. It added a touch of class and elegance. Our family and friends commented how beautiful the service was and how your music made all the difference.

    The wedding string quartet was wonderful with a great sound quality, and the sound of the trumpet was flawless -- beautiful tone! The venue at St James Catholic Church was perfect for this wedding.

    I would recommend The Matt McCallie Orchestra for your wedding music! You could not choose a better musical group for your wedding!

    I was looking for a live band with a full horns section for a good price. I didn't want an overpriced band that would only do cheesy covers of current pop songs, and I most definitely didn't want a DJ playing the electric slide, cupid shuffle or cha cha slide. The Matt McCallie Orchestra was fantastic, emceeing the reception flawlessly from start to finish. They did a great job of accommodating the energy of the crowd and had people dancing for hours. I really can't speak highly enough of them. Hire them for your event and you will not be disappointed!

    Matt & his string quartet was professional, arrived on time, played background music during the lunch, took a break during the business portion of the event. We were very pleased and would highly recommend them. They stayed in the background, played the perfect selections of music for the event.

    We have used the Matt McCallie Orchestra for both our formal Client Christmas Party and our informal Client Appreciation Holiday Picnic at a park. They were perfect at both events! They set the atmosphere with the style of music that we requested. They have a great sound, and are very thorough in their communications before the event, and flexible during the event! I highly recommend them, and have already booked them for my next year's picnic!

    Very easy to communicate with prior to the wedding. Matt took special requests with very little question to accomodate us. Not all of our songs were played due to a shorter time frame, but we were still very happy with the atmosphere created by the orchestra playing before, during, and after the ceremony.

    Our Model 'A' Restorers club had a national meet at The Sheraton Frontenac Hotel and we chose the Matt McCallie Orchestra for our entertainment. The experience was so much more than we could have ever expected and it was so rich there were no words that would do it justice. If you ever want to feel the thrill and emotions emitted with a live and extremely talented orchestra choose the McCallie Orchestra. Mr. McCallie not only
    produces and directs the music, he sings the classic favorites like Harry Conick Jr. If his music doesn't move you, nothing will.

    I have had the pleasure of listening to the Matt McCallie Orchestra at a wedding, several wedding receptions, a couple of corporate events and my photo club social. They skillfully played wonderful music for all of them. I am very impressed with the variety and versatility of this band. I would definitely hire them again! The hard work that they put into preparing for their bookings shows.

    The Matt McCallie Orchestra was the highlight of our wedding reception. My guests STILL rave about how entertaining and great the band was. They were very flexible with my song requests and even stepped up to the plate when my ceremony musician backed out. Their talent is endless! I can't say enough about how the MMO exceeded my expectations on our special day.

    Matt and orchestra,

    We wanted to personally write and thank you for the unforgettable performance you and your musicians gave the night of our wedding reception!

    This is a testimonial not only to you and your band’s amazing talents but also to the professionalism you brought throughout the preparations. Along with the music, the set up, lighting and sound, it was all a tribute to your knowledge and years of experience.

    Our special evening was enhanced because of your band’s live performance! Everyone from 8 to 80 felt welcome and invited to celebrate on the dance floor with us. As you know, most guests stayed until close and did not want your classic full melodies to end.

    Working closely with us throughout the process in finalizing our Song List was critical in creating just the right mood. The band’s live performance made all the difference in creating the perfect atmosphere.

    The Matt McCallie Orchestra is truly a premiere entertainment act and I highly recommend your services to anyone considering making their special event memorable. Your portfolio, attention to detail and the passion you bring enhanced the celebration and joy of our special evening.

    Thank you,

    Ally and Matt

    We had the Matt McCallie Orchestra at our wedding on 9-4-16 and WOW what an awesome experience. We received nothing but COMPLIMENTS from our guests. They were accommodating and professional. It was a little more expensive that we wanted to pay, but VERY WORTH it in the end. Highly RECOMMEND this group for any occasion!

    I booked the Matt McCallie Orchestra for a client event and wanted to say how incredibly impressed I am with them! Matt was super easy to work with. The band showed up early and was flexible with the set up arrangement (they performed outside, in front of a business, with limited room and power). They have such a wide variety of songs – and catered to our requests for holiday music to go along with the event theme. The Matt McCallie Orchestra added so much to the event and we will definitely be working with them in the future!
