Matthew was absolutely INCREDIBLE for our ceremony and canapé hour. His communication prior to the wedding was prompt, friendly and very helpful. He provided music samples and worked with us to plan exactly what we wanted. On the day his performance was 11/10. The ceremony selections had perfect timing and every guest commented on how incredible he was. Music selection was contemporary and uplifting. I could not recommend Matthew more, I am so pleased that Matthew was able to be apart of our day.
