Magical wedding atmosphere and party vibe

Matt is amazing dj, he brought such a fun and lively atmosphere to our wedding. He tailoured the music to our requests and he was organised and professional. He is very good value for wonderful wedding music and skilled saxophone playing.

So good, Life of the party

We had Matt for our wedding. First of all I need to say his communication and understanding were second to none. From the very start, he played and ran with any of our ideas. We had two video chats where he explained what he could do and what he needed. He even mixed our own first dance song.

On the day, he was prompt and hit a very unique niche of both professionalism and flexibility, dealing with issues that arose promptly and unnoticed.

He sax skills are truely amazing, everyone was enthralled and at the end of the day, was what everyone was talking about. Honestly, he was the party.

Legend - fantastic to work with

Absolutely brilliant, really friendly and kind as well as being a fantastic DJ. Matt took in what we were into & created a fantastic set. Brought along his extra gear just in case (& saved the day) and had the dance floor bouncing all night. Got tons of guests saying how amazing the DJ was. Really made our evening and to top it all off is a lovely guy. Wish we were getting married so we could boogie with Matt to the saxaphone again 😎

Fabulous weeding reception on 16th September!

Fantastic service provided by Matt! Contact and approach was very thorough and professional from the beginning.
Matt arrived to the venue at perfect time, set up took about the one hour and all the area looked amazing. Matt provided excellent service not only as a DJ but also played saxophone to our first dance and lots more tunes. It was a special experience for both-my husband and I, and definitely best ever evening we have had. It could not go any better.

Great DJ and person!

I believe there are two things that determine a great party. Music that will suit your audience and the person who runs the party. Someone charismatic, enthusiastic with a great attitude and passion to music and people. Matt is definitely that kind of person. People almost never leave the dance floor when he hides behind tones of his great equipment that would be enough to play at a concert 😁 A good party It’s not that common anymore or maybe I haven’t experiance it for a while. So if you look for someone who will listen to what you need, someone funny, who will lead the crowd and also play some live music as I forgot to mention he does play on saxophone 🎷 that’s the person you need at your party 🎊

Incredible

We had Matt come for our leaving party as we were moving country. He was absolutely brilliant, really got the party started, was out in the crowd playing. All the songs got everyone up having a good time. I haven’t stopped having compliments from people over how good Matt was. Please don’t think twice about booking, he was absolutely incredible and worth every penny.

Great fun with great music

From start to finish there was great communication and attentiveness to what we wanted. Everyone had fun at the wedding including us and we had loads of complements. People said thier feet hurt from all the dancing. Both Polish and English guests had a great time and it's not easy to pull that off. Big thank you from us and the guests!

Exceptional

Matt is an exceptional sax player who played at our wedding. We corresponded for a couple of months and he was very quick to respond and very helpful with our wedding song choices. He was prompt at turning up at the venue and we loved him from start to finish.

Outstanding performance that took our wedding party to another level

I would highly recommend Matt to anyone for any occasion!
He is an amazing, professional and talented performer, who took our wedding to another level. Everyone who attended our wedding commented on how amazing the sax performance was! Not to mention all the positive comments about Matt! From start to finish we were over the moon with communication, performance and timing! The songs he played were just perfect choices and the quality and energy was just out of this world!
Matt from me, my husband and all of our guests - THANK YOU, for making our special day even more special! You are the best!

This guy is a superstar

He made our wedding the best it could have ever been! He was the highlight of my day!
It’s been nearly 3 weeks and I still can’t stop talking about Matt! He’s so professional and talented! I keep saying to my husband we need to have another party just so hire him again!
He really got the party started at 2pm and had everyone up dancing! I would say my biggest regret is not having Matt there for the full event! We had only hired him to play for 2 hours during the meal and wish we had booked him as the dj too!
