Amazing!!!
Matt and Ben kept the dance floor going all night, they were soooo good even when we were running behind and it meant they had to set up late they were super quick! Would recommend to anyone!!

Excellent Wedding Entertainment!
Right from our initial enquiry, Matthew was responsive and extremely professional. In the run-up to our wedding, he was easy to contact to sort out the finer details, and on the day itself he was exceptional! His performances in the evening really added that extra something for us and our guests. The setlist was excellent and really engaged all our guests and got them dancing! The playlist both in between and after the live music was also incredible.

Amazing performances and people!
Would highly recommend Matthew, we were looking for someone who had flexible options as we wanted some music in the day and evening but with a different feel for each and Matthew was able to provide that so seamlessly. Not only were his and Ben’s performances amazing, their repertoire is huge and they were happy for us to guide the style which was important to us.
Matthew was also around all day despite a large break between sets and I was hugely grateful that he was happy to help out with the mic and sound system even when he wasn’t using it so we had the best possible delivery of our speeches too.
After a fab day of live music it was all rounded off with a playlist DJ set which kept all the momentum from the live music going too!
Would highly recommend both Matthew and Ben if you want an additional aspect to the music on your special day at a really reasonable price point. Everyone has commented on how great they were and we’ll definitely be keeping tuned to where we can see them in the future!

Amazing performer
Matthew is amazing, I used him for a friends Hen do where he played for just 12 woman, and surpassed my expectations, i booked him there on the spot for my wedding. Every single person at my wedding commented on how amazing he was, and continued to talk about him afterwards.
Matthew is a generally lovely guy, he's so approachable and chatty, it was like having our friend perform.
He played our aisle song, leaving the church, and performed throughout our day. He played requests but also read the room and absolutely nailed the whole thing.
He totally made our wedding, and I tell everyone about him.

Matthew sang at our wedding throughout the day serving us with background music whilst everyone enjoyed themselves. He was absolutely amazing from start to finish and all my guests loved him. I 100% recommend him. Such a lovely genuine guy. We actually wish we had booked for the whole day and night now.

Amazingly talented musician
Matt was so amazing from start to finish. I first met Matt at my sisters hen do in July where he played brilliantly. I knew then that we wanted him to be part of our Wedding Day. Matt was so professional, he had great communication and came back to us with any questions we might have. He learnt songs that we requested specially and he did a fantastic job. So many of our friends and family have commented on how fabulous his music and singing was in the lead up to the ceremony as well. He also sang our song for walking down the aisle. He sent us a recording of this so we could work out our timings too. If you are looking for an acoustic singer, look no further - get him booked in!! Xxx
Thank you

Amazing 🤩 would highly recommend
Matthew was so professional throughout, his communication was spot on from start to end. Our guests loved him on our wedding day and so many people said what an amazing voice he had. He let us choose our own songs from his repertoire too which made the day all that more personal. We would highly recommend him for any event and we will definitely be telling all our friends and family about him for when they tie the knot too. Thank you so much Matthew, love Hannah & Nick (Grangefields wedding 31.3.23)

Becky and Jack’s Wedding
Matt was amazing and I am so glad he was part of our wedding day! He was super easy to get in touch with and so approachable. He played 2 live sets for us and even learnt our first dance which was amazing! He then DJ’d for us afterwards and we danced the night away with some excellent songs choices! Everyone commented on how amazing he was and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

Jade and Graham wedding
We absolutely loved having Matthew play 2 setlists of live music at our wedding and doing the Dj section afterwards. Matthew was so friendly from start to finish and super calm and helpful. He had some great suggestions on the day and was flexible when we needed to change the order of events. He did a brilliant version of our first dance song and even learnt one of our favourites for us to dance to later on as well. Would definitely recommend Matthew. He was also really great with the little kids putting requests in all night 😁! Thank you so much!! Jade & Graham

Tremendous!!
Matthew was an absolute pleasure to deal with from beginning to end, such a gentleman and happy to help with everything! That was a bonus, that wasn’t what we booked him for!
We booked him for his music and he was next level class, I literally think every guest mentioned to Amy and I how great this guy was!
Would absolutely recommend Matthew to anyone, as the title says, tremendous!

A lovely, rustic singer for your special day!
Matthew sang at our wedding for both the ceremony and the drinks reception. He was extremely accommodating and agreed to sign hymns at our church wedding even though he'd never done this before. Matthew also allowed us to select the songs we wanted from his repertoire of over 100 songs which made his performance more meaningful and personal. One of our only small issues was that some communication with Matthew was a little slow.
Matthew's performance on the day was fantastic. His acoustic, rustic vibes were perfect for our day and guests commented on how much they enjoyed listening to him. Guests also said that they liked how Matthew interacted with them, including children who were dancing next to him!
We'd definitely recommend Matthew for your wedding / event! :)

What a Legend!!
We cannot recommend Matthew more! What a legend! From start to finish he created such a fantastic atmosphere with his amazing music. Such a friendly, cool gentleman and such a laugh! He went outside his role to help and I really felt like he was a guest loving the day! We are so glad we chose him for both the day and night! Thank you! ❤️
