 *Matthew MADE our wedding!! He was absolutely amazing. We asked for him to begin playing straight after the meal to avoid a lull in the day.. and there definitely was not a lull!! He was completely flexible in terms of the songs he played, taking requests and getting the crowd going. Some people might have been annoyed at Oasis being requested for the tenth time that night but Matthew was happy to oblige and even let us have a bash at some singing ourselves!! Every single guest commented on how great he made the day and we can’t thank him enough. 100% recommend. Mr and Mrs Morley – Bashall Barn – Clitheroe – Lancashire

*There are not enough words in the dictionary to say how amazing this guy is. What a top bloke. Matt is truly talented, professional, unique and amazing!! Your voice is superb, your vibe is phenomenal and your ability to get the dance floor going has blown us away. During the day and at the ceremony all our guests commented on how fantastic you were, your voice and acoustics are outstanding. Later in the evening you then turned your singing skills into DJ-ing…just wow!! Talk about reading the dance floor!? Matt you are nothing short of spectacular! Absolutely fantastic and so grateful you were a massive part of our day. From the bottom of our hearts we cannot thank you enough for everything you brought to our wedding day! If you are reading this review because you are looking for an amazing singer and a wonderful DJ honestly you need look no further…he is truly the best. – Jem Freer – 08/09/2018 – Smallshaw Cottages – Sheffield

*Matt you are a star! Simply! You were great from start to finish. You were always there for me to help me with my decisions even when I decided not to do the first dance you didn’t let us give up. Thank you not only for the brilliant singing and part but for the friendship and advice you given me throughout this whole process. Without you and your star quality the party would have never been the same. I can’t thank you enough and thank you doesn’t do justice for the amount of fun I had! You played Karma Chameleon for me at the cocktails and all yours (and now I know requests songs) were absolutely perfect! You Give Love A Bad Name is one of my big favourite songs of all times!!! Thank you so so much! Now I can only hope I can have the privilege of listening to you singing again! (Or watching you throwing some moves on the dance floor!!!) X Cami – Camilla and Thomas Garbutt – Wedding Package – The Crown Inn – Roecliffe –  North Yorkshire

*We can’t recommend Matt enough! He was absolutely brilliant from our initial conversation to the last song. Matt singing made our day so personal from playing selected songs for our ceremony to our favourite songs in the evening. He mingled with guests during our drinks reception and took requests, which was amazing. All our guests loved him and this special touch. He will learn any song you ask for but to be honest he probably knows it already. As for Matt himself he is a legend! He really is the ultimate entertainer and kept the party going all day and night. We couldn’t of asked for a better person to be a part of our special day. Thank you so much! Mr & Mrs Scholefield – Saltmarshe Hall – 2/6/23

*Literally we couldn’t have asked for anything more. Matt is a fun-loving character, he mingled well with our guests from start to finish. Really kept the vibe going throughout the day into the evening! He was the talk of the Wedding for weeks following. He has an incredible voice and brilliant personality. Matt checked in with us both regularly in the case that we had any requests…but we just left him to it, he knew how to please the crowd! Would highly recommend! – Tasha Hiorns – Woodstock Wedding Barns – 24/3/23

*Absolute superstar bloke and musician! He performed the most entertaining sets during our wedding this past weekend… And had everyone buzzing the whole day! Cannot recommend highly enough! Proper Bo!! – Chris and Anneka – 7/4/23

*My only words to say about Matt are. . . BOOK HIM! Honestly couldn’t recommend him any more. He is absolutely brilliant! From the minute we spoke to him he was professional, friendly and so laid back – but still giving us full confidence he would be perfect for our wedding . . . And gosh, he was! Our dance floor was not empty for one moment – and all of our guests commented how brilliant he was, as a singer and his dj’ing. He was really excellent and a real highlight of our day. Would 1000% recommend and if we throw any parties in the future Matt is the first supplier we would call! – Jade Margiotta – Castlefield Rooms – 11/3/23

*Matt absolutely made our wedding! The music package he put together was so bespoke and really helped with the wholesome family vibe we wanted our wedding to be, with mine and my new husbands personalities at the forefront. He learnt our coming down the aisle, signing of the register and first dance especially for our day. We would recommend Matt to everybody and can’t thank him enough! – Hannah Tilley – Spicer Manor – 25/3/23

*Honestly Matt you were fantastic!!! – dad has already said if/when we have a big family party again YOU are the guy we will be calling for music/entertainment!! You were amazing!! Thank you! thank you! thank you!! You made our wedding a beautiful but still fun party. Your skill of being able to play basically anything on the guitar is insane! The mix of DJ set and live performance was just perfect! And our first dance with you singing live was beautiful – I hope someone has a video we can share. I cannot even put into words how pleased we are it was you we chose for our wedding xx💕 – Tegan and Ashley – Woodhall Spa Manor – 26/1/23

*Matt was extremely accommodating from the very get go! We always received quick replies back which were always so helpful and put us at ease. With having a multicultural wedding we were struggling to find a DJ to accommodate both cultures but this was no issue at all to Matt, he got every song we required with absolutely no issues! Matt was so much fun on the night and even surprised us with some rapping alongside the bridesmaids! Absolutely amazing, we cannot thank you enough!! Highly recommend to anyone! – Bethan Singh – Burntwood Court Hotel – 28/10/22

*Our Wedding day would not have been the same without Matt! He made our ceremony so personal and special by singing me and my bridesmaids down the aisle to a song very close to my heart and singing another special song of mine and my husbands during the signing of the register ❤️ Matt then performed during our drinks reception where many guests were coming up to us saying how brilliant he was! Nothing was too much for Matt and he can literally do anything you want him to! We really are so thankful to have come across you, you made our day perfect. – Katie Taylor – The Saddle Rooms – 17/9/22

*Just over a week ago Matt did our wedding. He sang and did the evening djing for us.  The night we amazing. Matt interacted with the crowd brilliantly and the music he played really set a great vibe!! We had a call with Matt a week before the wedding which really helped us get to know him and he got to know us, we spoke about what music he would play. Really we just left it down to him and we feel this was the best thing to do, he was really amazing. Matt even captured a moment for us where he played solo to our son, which for us was brilliant. Thanks again mate, see you for my 30th! #BIGDOO – Aidan Ward – Loversall Farm – 15/9/22 –  

*Where to start?! Matthew made our day perfect from start to finish, there is nothing this man can’t do! He made our ceremony so personal and special❤️ From then on we constantly had guests coming up to us saying how brilliant he was! He mingled between guests, taking requests throughout our drinks reception covering everything from Arctic Monkeys to Harry Styles and Prodigy! we really are so thankful to have come across you, you made our day perfect and it wouldn’t have been the same without you. For any future couples, you’d be crazy not to go with Matthew, you won’t regret it! 😊 – Anna Hughes – Woodstock Wedding Barn – 3/9/22

*Wow Matt what can I actually say! I know we spoke before you left today but seriously you made our day absolutely perfect. Our guests were blown away by you and every single one commented on how great you were. From the day into the night you kept everyone entertained and it just would not have been the same without you. We had the best day ever and part of that is totally down to you. Thank you so so so much and please know we will recommend you to everyone 😀 xx – Hayley Parks – Howard Court – 24/8/22

*Hi Matt, Hannah & I are finally coming back to reality (oops there goes gravity?) and we wanted to send you a quick thank you for everything you did for us on our wedding day. I am not overestimating when I say that a majority of our guests either came up to us on the day or have since messaged us to compliment you and your performances. You were literally the engine behind the whole day and we can never thank you enough. We’ve retold this story a lot to each other with massive grins, but jumping into ‘Without Me’ after the dance off was a stroke of genius and really capped everything off and threw us into the evening. Although I didn’t see it myself, I heard there was an acapella Bohemian Rhapsody at some point that everyone is still talking about. Legend! And the ceremony – it was perfect. Thank you so much for the work you did to get everything together. There is nothing we would change and we now have a lifetime of looking back and remembering a wonderful day that you were instrumental in making happen. All the Best, Callum & Hannah – Skipbridge Country Weddings – 30/7/22

*Hi Matt! Just want to say thank you soooooooo much!! I some how found you when I was looking for a photographer for my wedding, when I was looking through a photographers instagram you were tagged in a photo with your guitar amongst a crowd of wedding guests and I thought oooo who is this, the photographer had captioned saying that you were a ‘must-have’ at a wedding and although I didn’t get the photographer I made sure I got you – he wasn’t wrong!! You are so incredibly talented at what you do -the atmosphere was everything we could have wished for and more. I would recommend you to anyone I speak to 100% because you were worth every single penny spent and more!! My best friend has made me promise that when she gets married it’s ok for her to copy and have you singing at her wedding so we just need to find her a man and I’ll be seeing you again🤣 So thank you so much we are so grateful!! – Hannah Dawson – Shotton Grange – 12/8/22

*Matt was absolutely amazing at our wedding! From initial communications to the last dance, he adhered to all our requests perfectly and was a hit with the guests. With great vocals and live guitar sets he was incredible throughout, I can’t recommend and thank him enough!! – James Marston – 28/7/22 – Ravenscar Hotel

*We just wanted to somehow word our thanks to Matt…
In our wildest dreams, we couldn’t have imagined that you would be as brilliant as you were. It’s one thing seeing your videos on social media but seeing you live in person… WOW! Your beautiful music accompaniment in the church, during our welcome drinks and post-meal playing to guests outside were amazing. But it was the evening set where we both looked each other and thought wow this is absolutely fantastic. We said we wanted to get the dancefloor bouncing and have a good party and you delivered that 10 times over. Dancing on the bar, crowdsurfing, on people’s shoulders, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, DJ set, rapping etc… it is a reception we will never forget. So many people have said how amazing you were and it is probably one of our best decisions we made choosing you for the All Day Package. As with many couples planning a wedding the costs can add up, but we are 100% glad we booked you over a more traditional DJ. You created a beautiful relaxing atmosphere during the day and the evening do was buzzing! In particular, thank you for playing our specially chosen songs in the church and for our first dance. It really meant a lot to us to have those included, and they will forever bring back wonderful memories for us. You said the enjoyment for us and our guests was down to playing for a good crowd… but we will say it was totally down to you!! Thanks again to you and your assistant. We can’t thank you enough and hopefully our paths will cross again soon. Hannah and James – 16/6/2022

*Matt was just amazing!!!! If you’re looking for someone to play at your wedding, look no further! Matt made our day so special. Everyone commented on how good he was throughout the day and how he personalised everything to suit our guests and the mood. He was asking for requests for songs to sing as soon as he arrived which everyone loved! Literally one of the best decisions we made was choosing Matt to do our music. I asked for an instrumental version of a whole new world for my aisle walk and he learnt it especially for the day. I knew as soon as he started to play it that we were in for a good day. I had tears in my eyes right from the very first chord and that moment walking down the aisle to the song so perfect was everything I had ever dreamed of. We had an early wedding start time.of 12.30 and he managed to keep the energy up during the lull period, with everyone up singing and dancing to some of our favourite tune. He even played lullabies for my little girl at one point and some of guests special songs so they could have their own dances. Thanks again for everything Matt!!!!! I hope we get the pleasure of seeing and hearing you play again. My only regret is not having filmed it all so I could watch it all over again. – Danielle and Harry – 26/5/22 –  Shottle Hall

*Matthew sang at our wedding last month and he is just great, such a friendly guy. He sang for our ceremony and during our arrival drinks and canapés. On the day the ceremony was such a whirlwind I’m so glad it was recorded because it gives me chance to re-listen and really appreciate Matthew. The timing was just perfect. The guests comment how good he was and enjoyed dancing along to requests. If my venue didn’t have a dj in with the package I’d have 100% booked him for the whole day! – Amy Binns – 23/4/22 – The Fleece Countryside Inn

*Matthew made our day perfect! From start to finish he worked with us closely on our musical choices and was very willing to learn some of our favourite songs even though they weren’t the easiest! (Rusted root and all it’s ‘gibberish’) He did an absolutely outstanding job! On the day he worked endlessly singing and keeping our guests entertained.. what lull? Matthew we cannot thank you enough for making our favourite day even better! We will continue to recommend, everyone needs a Matthew at their wedding! Jo and Ben (Grr baby!) – Joanne Nelson – Fairbank Wedding Barn – 7/5/22

*A very delayed review but here goes! What a guy Matt is, I feel like he was a guest at our wedding and I miss him already?! Our wedding was cancelled back in March 2020 and we changed dates 3 times and then a final time because our baby came along! He was so accommodating and chilled out about everything. He really was just a pleasure to have at our wedding. I suppose I best comment on his actual musician skills too- which where nothing but absolutely AMAZING. (One guest was amazed at how he sang gold digger whilst playing the guitar- better than the original I may add). Anyway- thank you Matt you really did make our wedding day and out of all the choices we made for that special day- you was the best by far! Thank you thank you thank you, we will miss you!! (Until we see you at a friends wedding- we have a few eyeing you up for a booking). Xxxx – Katie Alker – 17/3/22

*We can’t recommend Matthew highly enough. We first saw him at a wedding fayre and he was so friendly and jolly, taking time to talk to us and just seemed genuinely interested in our wedding. At this point, we were looking for a specific type of band rather than a singer for our evening celebration, but we were so impressed with Matthew that we really wanted to have him play at the wedding. He was really accommodating and supportive in making something work for us and him, and ended up singing and playing guitar during our reception drinks. Many of our guests commented on how great he was, both in terms of playing and generally bringing a great vibe to that part of the day. He interacted with guests and even honoured a groomsman’s request for a Christmas song duet in April (after checking with us!!)… Our wedding had to be postponed due to Covid, but Matthew simply swapped the booking over with no fuss. We’ll miss the frequent check-ins now the wedding is over as Matthew went above and beyond. A really great singer and all round person; it was a real pleasure to have Matthew perform at our wedding and we’d highly recommend him! – Will Spivey – Hazelwood Castle – 9/4/22

*What can we say Matt! If you are reading this and considering hiring Matthew for your wedding then all I can say is “go for it!” From the very beginning we knew we wanted a relaxed vibe for our wedding and Matt was perfect. He adapted perfectly to a slightly unusual order of things (we forgot our first dance so Matt squeezed it in at about 10pm!) and played our requests interspersed with the crowd pleasers.
My favourite thing about Matt was his easy going style and that he very quickly identified the party people and what tunes would keep them on the dance floor (00s Indie tunes were a hit with the Indie Girl Bridesmaids thank you!). He also was mobile throughout the day and came out to the lawn to play a set, then came around to the courtyard where the crowds had gone and it was a very natural feel to the day.
I have had so many comments about how great our wedding was and a lot of that is to do with the music and the DJ set. Anyone who can get the bride in a mosh pit with her new brother in law to Nirvana and the like is alright by me. The highlight of Matt’s ability to get the dance floor going is a memory that will stay with me forever: after a mushy first dance to “Lean on Me” the music went seamlessly to Darude Sandstorm with absolutely every guest including the oldies hitting the dancefloor like a 90s club scene. So much laughter and I will be eternally greatful to Matt for that… – Roxi and Rob – 21/4/22 –Samlesbury Hall

On arriving to our ceremony, we found out that the singer we had booked wasn’t coming and someone else was on the way. We had no idea who was turning up or what to expect but we just had to roll with it. It couldn’t have worked out any better!!!!! Matthew was so lovely and he really made our day! He played during our drinks reception and our wedding breakfast….. everyone was up dancing during the meal! The atmosphere was amazing and we’ve had so many comments from our guests saying it’s the best wedding they’ve ever been to and they’ve never experienced a wedding breakfast like it! Even the venue said they hadn’t ever seen people up dancing during the meal before. And it’s all thanks to Matthew. Thank you for saving our day and being so incredible! Nina & Matt x – Nina Deboe – The West Mill

*I cannot recommend Matthew enough. We had him as our wedding DJ and I could not have asked more. We loved the fact that not only did he DJ but he also did a live set which really added something special to the evening! He was very accommodating, friendly and fun! Thoroughly lovely guy! Thank you Matthew – Clare Lee – 8/4/22 – Cubley Hall

*Matthew was fabulous and I would 100% recommend! Matthew spent time helping us what songs we wanted and also created the most beautiful personal acoustic walking down the aisle song for us. – Lauren Holden – 7/4/22 – Woodstock Wedding Barn

*We first Matt back in 2019 when we started planning our wedding and he has been amazing right from the very first meeting. His email communication and nothing is too much trouble to sort out as he is really friendly and helpful. It was a real relief to pass all aspects of music onto Matt. From playing in church for our guests, sorting out the music for the hymns and singing live as part of the ceremony. The stand out performances in church were Matt’s version of ‘You’ll never Walk Alone’ and ‘Ave Maria.’ Both were simply outstanding and made the day extra special. I was also lovely to talk to Matt about the reasons for some of our choices and to hear how he had learnt the songs prior to our big day. Matt was brilliant right up to the wedding eve in reassuring us that everything was planned and organised for the following day. It was also lovely to receive a plan of action from Matt to make sure he had included everything we had asked for. Matt has also been on hand to offer help throughout the planning process. Matt joined us for the rest of our wedding celebrations, again singing live and DJing for the evening reception. The guests have all commented on how amazing Matt is and I know the children were thrilled to have their requests played throughout the evening. It was also amazing when our guests didn’t realise it was Matt playing live – he’s so good, they thought it was part of the DJ set list playing! It was an absolute pleasure to have Matt play at our wedding day and it was lovely to chat to him at the end of the evening. We can’t wait to see videos from the day to re-appreciate the brilliant performances from Matt. Thank you so much for making our day amazing! We have already recommended Matt to our guests and we look forward to hearing more of his music in future celebrations. – Erica Hartley – 12/2/22

*Matthew sang at our wedding on Saturday and he was AMAZING! So many people commented on how fantastic he was and the music he played, especially during the ceremony, was just fantastic! – Luck Kelk – 5/2/22 – Van Dyks

Thank you so, so, so much for Saturday! You were absolutely AMAZING!!!! Literally everyone said it! You really did make the day special for us and it wouldn’t have been the same without you there. Everything ran so smoothly and you did everything I asked, thank you so much. You’re fantastic at what you do and I’m just so glad we found you and booked you!! BEST decision ever. Thanks again Matt. If you’re thinking of booking Matt for your wedding – DO IT! – Olivia Catton – 30/10/21 – Thirsk Lodge Barns

*Absolutely amazing. The day just wouldn’t have been the same without matt! Nothing was too much trouble from start to end. He created such a vibe for the wedding, we had so many compliments from our guests and he really made the day for us! Thank you so much, we can’t wait to book you for the renewal! – Laura and Sam – 6/9/21 – Yorkshire Wedding Barn

*Myself and Rachel just wanted to say a massive thank you for making our wedding day. You were absolutely fantastic! You were so easy to work with, engaged the guests and kept the party going. We had so much positive feedback from everyone. Thanks again Matt! – Rachel and Rob – 20/8/21 – Peak District Holiday Barn

*If you are looking for a wedding singer for your big day look no further than this man. Matt you really did make our day even more special than we ever imagined, all our guest have not stop commenting on your performance thought our whole day. We can not thank you enough, you were absolutely amazing! – Katie and Ben – 27/8/21 – Makeney Hall

*Matt and I just wanted to drop you a message to say a huge thank you for all that you did on our special day. You were everything that we were after for our entertainment and you had such a huge impact on the day. Our dream vision of a relaxed atmosphere and beautiful songs playing straight after our ceremony became a reality and the time spent on the lawns with you playing was just magic! Our guests has such a great time chatting away, giving you requests and enjoying a tipple in the sun! Your amazing service continued throughout the day and the help you provided with setting up the music for the wedding breakfast was seamless! Our first dance song was just perfect and we couldn’t of asked for any more, as well as my father and daughter dance too. You sang beautifully and it was definitely one of our top highlights. Then the evening was just incredible! You again created such an amazing atmosphere for all of our guests, enjoying song after song in the courtyard. It was such a memorable moment of the day and everyone was then even more excited when we informed them that you were the DJ too! You read the room perfectly and knew the right songs that would get everyone up and dancing. I loved that you also came to check that we were happy with some of the requests too, showing that you wanted to get it right for us. We were gutted when we had to go as everyone wanted to carry on dancing and singing away all night! We feel very lucky and happy that we were able to hire your services for the day and can’t thank you enough for all that you did! We would absolutely recommend you to anyone we know that is getting married! Thank you so much again! – Lucy and Matt – 23/8/21 – Eyam Hall – Sheffield

We got married in July and Matt provided the most fantastic music, any genre/song requested he would put his hand to! Honestly was fantastic, the guests all loved him and I’ve had constant compliments about the music from our day! We arrived at our reception early and had a private few songs and dance as a newly married couple and it was perfect! Thank you SO much you made our day so special! – Emily and Stuart – 9/7/21 – Woodman InnYorkshire


*Matt played during our wedding throughout the day and evening reception.
 I think every single comment on the wedding mentioned how great having Matt there was haha. He played during the ceremony, wandered around the venue with his guitar playing requests and at the end of the night got the guests round a fire for a sing-along.

Would definitely recommend! – Ashleigh and Henry – 18/8/21 – York

*Thank you so much Matt for making our day so special. From the initial email to our first dance and everything in between you were so accommodating and easy to deal with. One of the guests just commented how it felt like their own private gig when you were mingling at the drinks reception. It was so awesome that you learnt some of our favourite tracks for the day and you have an amazing voice and personality. Would recommend to everyone! Thanks once again. – Rebecca and James – Bartle Hall – 14/8/21

*Matthew was simply the best decision we made with our wedding. From emailing him our query and receiving a reply at around midnight after a wedding to the actual day he was an absolute pleasure. If you are looking for someone is extremely talented and will put you at ease the whole way through the process this is your man.

Nothing was too much to ask and on the day all our guests commented on how amazing he was. Matthew is an amazing singer and a great entertainer who got everyone going through the day.

Thank you so much for making our wedding day the perfect day it was. Jon and Laura – Bagden Hall – 30/7/21

*We cannot recommend Matthew enough!! He made sure the day ran smoothly and all our guests said how fantastic he was ! The atmosphere was amazing and he fulfilled everything we asked for. To have all our family and friends dancing together was brilliant! Thank you Matthew! Laura and Lee x – Singleton Lodge – 1/8/21

*We booked Matt for our ceremony. Was amazing throughout the whole journey even when I changed my mind at last minute about out aisle song and learnt a new one in a couple of days. Can’t thank you enough. Made such a difference to our drinks reception. Thank you!!! – Kim Godfrey – The Hidden Hive – 15/7/21

*Matt is a complete legend and really helped make our wedding – he worked so hard over the course of our wedding weekend and really is unbelievably talented! He was really helpful in advance when it came to choosing songs for the big moments, but basically took care of the rest for us – always playing the right songs to match the mood of us and our guests, and taking requests from everyone there. The music for a wedding is a really big part of creating the right atmosphere and I’m so glad we went with Matt as he hit the nail on the head. – Abigail and Chris Fletcher – York – 12/6/21

*What a day we had! We had the best wedding we could have wished for and Matthew made it complete. From the first conversation he was very flexible with what was possible on our big day. We were somewhat nervous as due to covid we didn’t meet until the day itself, but our conversations with him put our minds at ease. In the end he did a variety of music, some acoustic performance and some playing from tracks. He was with us from before the ceremony through to midnight and took care of all the music. He mingled with guests whilst playing acoustic in the gardens, then had a little socially distanced dance with our guests towards the end of the night, as well as taking requests throughout the day. Really friendly. Thank you Matt, the day wouldn’t have been the same without you! – Steven and Danielle Craft – Kings Croft Hotel – 7/7/21

*We booked Matt for our first wedding date in 2020 and obviously that didn’t happen. Matt was really supportive with the date changes! We based our final date around Matts availability as we wanted him at our wedding so much. Thank the lord we did! Our wedding would not have been the perfect day it was with out him! Our guests absolutely LOVED him. We have so many comments on how awesome he was. He even learned a song for us ? I can’t thank him or recommend him enough! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so so much ❤️ – Kelly and Tim – The Granary Barn – 26/6/21

Just want to say a massive thank you to you for your dedication and hard work on our wedding day, you put us at ease with your friendliness and humour and we loved the fact that you interacted with our guest as well as us, everyone mentioned you in glowing terms, thank you so much again for making our day what it was, perfect. Lots of love Andy and Lynzie Boskic. X – Fixby Hall – 29/5/21

The end of 2 days of wedding celebrations needs something special to keep the energy high and make something truly memorable. Matt was exactly what was needed. He immediately became part of the gang and it was like having an old friend performing for us. He had our guests eating out of the palm of his hand and everyone loved his style and friendly manner. He is a great performer and he will literally have a go at any request. And he even let me play a couple at serious risk to his guitar ?. Thanks Matt for finishing our wedding weekend with a truly special singalong. We loved it. – Ben and Becky – Skipbridge Country Weddings – 23/5/21

*Matt what can I say! Thank you for keeping us entertained on what must have been one of the wettest coldest bank holiday parties in your career. Your tunes were amazing and you never refused any requests. At one point I thought you would never be allowed to leave! Thank you again for making our joint birthday party so memorable! – Karen Heenan – Birthday Party – 29/8/21

Matthew recently provided live music and DJ for our wedding – he contributed so much to the day, both musically and personally. Some special touches such as a live set in the bar before the evening do, and performing our first dance song live – he put his heart and soul into everything. You can really tell he loves what he does, and goes above and beyond. 100% recommended! – Charlotte Freeman – 21/3/20 – Aston Hall – Sheffield

*Matthew provided the disco for my fiancées 40th birthday bash and I gave him a really tough brief – exclusively 80’s! I had no need to worry. He had obviously researched the era and gave us everything we wanted and more. Banger after banger of dance floor fillers that had the room buzzing. I understand that this was an unusual request and one that he’d not had to do before so I was thrilled with the outcome. I will definitely be asking Matt to provide the entertainment at the next party I organise – and I’d recommend YOU to do the same! – Martin Deakin – 80’s Birthday Party –  14/3/20 – Barnsley – Yorkshire

*Excellent performance from an Absolute gentleman who went above and beyond to help me make the proposal as special as it could be. Thank you. – Lee Evans – Surprise Proposal – 4/12/19 – Lincoln

*Myself and my husband can’t thank Matt enough. He was incredible on our wedding day from start to finish, from an intimate acoustic during the ceremony right through to the evening DJ set. He created an amazing atmosphere and kept us all entertained all day. His relaxed and warm nature made us feel so at ease and we have had so many guests tell us how they found him so approachable and fun!! He created some fun special moments for us and our guests that we will remember forever. Nothing was too much to ask. If you are looking for someone very talented to fill your day with special moments, and give you a real good party too, this is your guy. Thanks so much Matt x – Emma Shaw – All Day Wedding Package – 12/10/19 – Doncaster –  Hooton Pagnell Hall

*We’d like to thank Matt for all his hard work during our wedding! He created a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish, he was happy to accommodate any acoustic requests and all of our family singing along in the whisky grain silo was a particularly high point. We’ll also never forget him playing one of our favourite songs whilst I walked down the aisle. He made the day fun and created the laidback atmosphere we had hoped for! Everyone loved him and said how fantastic he was! Thanks again so much, you are a top guy! – Jen Preston – 13/08/19 – Skipbridge Country Weddings – York

*Toniiiiight I’m gonna have my self, a real good time!!!!’ And we absolutely did! We can’t thank you enough for the entertainment at our wedding, you were incredible. All the guests loved you, as did we. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone. You are an amazing guitar player and singer. The day just wouldn’t have been the same (as good) without you. Your presence just uplifted the day and it felt like we had known you for years. I hope we get to see you live again soon and wish you all the best for the future. Cheers Matt! – Phil & Alicia Driffield – 13/7/19 – Skipbridge Country WeddingsYork

*Matthew is an absolute legend! We booked him for our wedding yesterday and he went above and beyond! So many guests commented on how fabulous he was and nothing was too much trouble. From the second we enquired about booking him, he was so attentive and did everything we wanted and more. He was absolutely fabulous and I can not recommend him enough! Anyone looking for a wedding singer/DJ Matthew is your man! – Natalie Simpson – All Day Wedding Music Package – The Outbarn – Clitheroe – Lancashire 27/7/19

*Hi Matt! Yesterday was honestly the best day of our lives and part of that is down to you and your amazing efforts and stunning voice! Thank you so much!!! Nat & Dave ❤️x – All Day Wedding Music Package – York – 20/7/19

*We recently booked Matt for our wedding at the start of July for the whole day, from the ceremony to the very end. We highly recommend him, he made our wedding day and nothing was too much trouble. Planning a wedding is stressful but we knew from the minute we met Matt a few months prior to the big day that we had nothing to worry about, he made us feel so relaxed. He did exactly what I asked from the ceremony playlist, to acoustic singing during our drinks reception, a live set in the evening and if that wasn’t enough he was also our DJ for the whole night. The atmosphere was amazing, the dance floor was full all night and all of our guests commented on how good he was. We can’t thank you enough for everything and making our day so amazing. Thank you, Mr & Mrs Chelin x – All Day Wedding Package – Woodstock Wedding BarnYork – 6/7/19

*Matt was absolutely amazing! He played our ceremony and drinks reception. I always wanted Ellie Golding ‘How Long Will I Love You’ to walk down the aisle to and he did the most beautiful instrumental version that he then sent to us to keep. Nothing was too much trouble and he learnt all the extra songs we wanted to use. He’s a great guy with a fabulous voice and I’d recommend him to everyone. He made our day really special and he’ll be the first person I call next time we have a party. Thanks so much again! Xx – Livvy Kitching – Daytime Music Package – Sandburn Hall – York – 14/6/19

*Just to reiterate Matt’s thank yous as per the below review. We’ve had so many compliments on the music throughout the day and in The Grain Silo!

Best wishes, Mr & Mrs Ingham. – Kayleigh Ingham – All Day Wedding Package – York – 25/05/19

Thanks again Matthew.  – Luisa and Jake Barlow – 31/12/2018 – All Day Wedding Music Package – Dunkenhalgh Hotel and Spa, Blackburn – Lancashire

*Matt was a dream throughout, total professional and perfectionist. Nothing was too much trouble and he stayed in contact with me and had great patience with a bridezilla. Matt personalised, performed and recorded our little bespoke wedding song and we couldn’t be more thrilled. All guests couldn’t praise him enough for his talent, the atmosphere he created and his lovely, approachable and bubbly personality. It was a pleasure to have him be a part of the day and for that we thank him! He was also an absolute bargain! Highly recommended. – Victoria Roach – 26/12/2018 – Evening Entertainment Package – Belle Epoque, Knutsford – Cheshire

*Rowan & I thoroughly enjoyed having Matthew at our wedding!! We have had compliment after compliment from our guests about Matt and we have nothing but praise. From our initial meetings leading up to the big day, the wonderful atmosphere created during the day and the great party set at night – you have been great!! Highly recommended!!! Xx – Emma Richardson – All Day Wedding Package – 01/09/2018 – The Alma – Laneshaw Bridge – Lancashire

I’ll have to start thinking of another excuse to have a party so we can book you again! – Leanne Marie Carter – Christening Party – 26/08/2018 – The Rockingham Arms – Wentworth – Rotherham

*Matt played a huge part in making our wedding so amazing! From outdoor acoustic sets, learning our unusual first dance to play live, DJ sets and even live music round the camp fire later on – absolutely superb! We considered you part of the wedding, not just the entertainment! Honestly, can’t thank you enough! – Karen Farrow – All Day Wedding Package – 25/08/2018 – Camp Katur – York

*Matthew MADE our wedding!! He was absolutely amazing. We asked for him to begin playing straight after the meal to avoid a lull in the day.. and there definitely was not a lull!! He was completely flexible in terms of the songs he played, taking requests and getting the crowd going. Some people might have been annoyed at Oasis being requested for the tenth time that night but Matthew was happy to oblige and even let us have a bash at some singing ourselves!! Every single guest commented on how great he made the day and we can’t thank him enough. 100% recommend. Mr and Mrs Morley – 10/08/2018 – Bashall Barn – Clitheroe – Lancashire

*Just want to say a massive thank you to Matt for everything, from meeting up with us before hand to discuss how we wanted the day to go, to the actual day when we could just let him get on with it. Our venue was tricky as it’s so big lots of different marques/ barns and I wasn’t sure how it was going to work but Matt just rolled with it the guests absolutely loved him and we had a right good sing along at the end of the night even to the point some of the guests have added him on face book because he’s such a legend! Can’t wait to try and get him to Manchester for a night out!! If your looking for a bespoke singer and DJ look no further. Thank you so much Matt for making our day so special lots of love Charlotte and Steven xxx – All Day Wedding – 21/07/2018 – Woodlands – Leeds

*I am so grateful for Matt for entertaining our wedding on Saturday. From the moment the guests arrived till the end of the night he was brilliant! He made our day so special. His communication throughout was brilliant and he is just a nice genuine guy! I highly recommend Matt. – Sarah Green – 14/7/2018 – All Day Wedding – Best Western Higher Trapp Hotel – Burnley – Lancashire

*We Booked Matt recently for a 70th Birthday Party, he was really friendly and helpful while booking and planning setlist. Performance on the night was excellent, range of songs was good, great vocals, engaged with everyone there, and had all ages up dancing. Happy to try and satisfy song requests on the night, and ensured everyone had a great time. Highly recommend. Thanks Matt. – Stuart Dare – 70th Birthday Party – 06/04/2018 – Goodison Park – Liverpool

*Where do I start?? Matthew has been fantastic from initial communication right up to our wedding day. We had very specific requirements to which Matthew met and exceeded. He was interactive with our guests and as well as playing our own requests, also played on demand to the requests from our wedding party. Our day was made that extra bit perfect and myself and my husband are both so so glad we found Matthew. Nothing was too much effort and there was no stress for us to worry about!! – Coral and Ollie – 30/03/2018 – The Mansion – Leeds

*Matt played and sang all day at our wedding and was amazing from first contact until the last song of the evening! He learned and played the music for our ceremony exactly as we asked and even sent us previews of the songs he was working on in the build up. He gave us the playlists we asked for during the drinks reception and kept everyone entertained with requests and really got into the spirit of everything with us. As we got to the evening he kept everyone dancing with his party sets and DJ tracks – read the room really well and got the dance floor going a bit crazy! haha I would recommend him to everyone I know and I know some people are going to book him already! Thanks Matt! Xxx – Timothy and Dawn Marsden – 17/02/2018 – The Venue at the Royal Liver Building – Liverpool

*Matt played for our wedding 22st October 17. It was one of the best decisions through all the wedding planning to hire him. Not only is he exceptionally talented but fully customised the day package around us. I asked matt if he could play an arrangement of In My Life by The Beatles for my walk down the isle, as my dad wasn’t here to walk me down the isle I needed a part of him to take the biggest walk of my life and Matt made that possible it was truly magnificent, it made the day perfect for me. Matt gave me so much advice and was always quick to answer and questions nothing was too much trouble for him. He also took a request from one of our younger guests and sang bah bah black sheep, this was fantastic it just shows how accommodating he is. Thank you matt for a truly wonderful day! I still listen to your demos on the way to work! – Kimberley Taylor-Allmark – All Day Wedding Package – The Barns, Cannock – 22/10/2017

*Matt played for our wedding in October, He was so patient with me leading up to the day, and spent hours learning ‘tale as old as time’ so it was perfect for us! Nothing was too much trouble and he slotted into our day seamlessly, he helped us with everything we needed, trudging speakers and microphones around a field so we could make the day just how we wanted! Everyone said how amazing he was, he made the evening the best it could possibly be, he knew exactly how to keep everyone singing along! Amazing value for money for the time and effort he put into making our day. The memories of singing oasis around a campfire with him will live with us and our guests forever. It’s hard to put into words how he made our wedding perfect, but it wouldn’t have been the same day without him. – Stephanie Fensom – Skipbridge Country Weddings – York – 14/10/2017

*Matt played 3 sets at our wedding on the 7th October 2017 at The Great Hall at Mains, Lancashire. The sets were played during the reception, after dessert and before our first dance just as we requested, with the sets tailored to the style of music we wanted for each. Matt was flexible with timings as the day progressed and even took a few requests (which the guests confused with DJ requests for the evening) but Matt took it in his stride. All of our guests commented on how fantastic he was and he certainly contributed to making our special day perfect. I would highly recommended Matt and would certainly book him again for any other special occasions. Thanks Matt x – Lesley Tuddenham – The Great Hall, Mains – Lancashire – 07/10/2017

*Matt played and DJ’d at our wedding on August 12th at the Durham Ox (btw, best reception venue for informal/posh affair, fact! )and he was a major part of making our day very ‘us’. Everyone has said it before, Matt is flexible, accommodating and friendly – you don’t need extra hassle when organizing a wedding and Matt just handled the entertainment with no questions. We arrived to him playing acoustic tunes in the garden and he just went about his business, playing mood-appropriate stuff throughout the afternoon. He took requests and varied his style as the vibe changed and the day progressed. We had many kids at our do and they hung around Matt like groupies, fascinated by him and wanting to be him! Matt even played some godawful US YouTube kid’s music for my 6 year old son which made him (my son) feel a million dollars. What’s so great about Matt’s set up is he can do casual, chilled acoustic, ramp up the noise and ‘band’ atmosphere with singing/backing tracks/amps and play literally anything DJ style as he works from a laptop and sound system – there is nothing you can’t have played. We ended our night on 90s rave, Britpop, Seattle grunge and some gorgeous country. Matt, thanks, our day was perfect and it would have been a lesser day without you. Book this guy! – Christine Gaume – All Day Wedding Package – The Durham Ox – York – 12/08/2017

*Matt was a complete professional and really happy to do anything he could to make our day special and personal! He literally could not have done more for us! The aisle walk song was amazing and we requested the custom recording as a keepsake… and the first dance was more than we could have hoped for! he also knows his way around a DJ set too. Everyone commented on how good he was. Thanks! x – Emma Price – All Day Wedding Package – The Great Victoria Hotel – Bradford 11/08/2017

*Matthew was absolutely fantastic from the very first contact we had until after the wedding, nothing was too much trouble. A wide selection of music was sung at our wedding service, drinks reception, wedding breakfast and evening reception and was fantastic. All our guests commented how good he was. Excellent value for money and would highly recommend Matt for an event, will be using again at future events. Thank you Matt –  Mr and Dr Davis – All Day Wedding – Hellaby Hall – Rotherham – 29/07/2017

*We booked Matthew to play an outdoor stage at our wedding in July but inevitably the weather was far from ideal, Matthew couldn’t be more helpful and suggested doing 2 sets on the main stage to break up the evening which went down a storm. Couldn’t recommend him enough, brilliant. – Liam Walker – Wedding – Waterton Park Hotel – Wakefield 23/07/2017

*Matthew shared our special day with us on Friday, making the full day and evening even more special with his singing, guitar and dj set, can’t recommend this man highly enough, he took care of every last detail with the music and it really was perfect, thank you again Matthew – Fiona Price – All Day Wedding Package – Gomersal Park Hotel – Bradford – Yorkshire – 14/07/2017

*Thank you so much for attending our wedding 14/07/17 we booked matt for all day to sing and dj at the evening, every guest commented how good you was and how you just got on with it sorting when and where to sing to make our day so special nothing was too much for you and all requests by guests taken on, At the evening the dj set was superb will defo be recommending to other, once again a massive thank you from Mr and Mrs price – Darren Price – All Day Wedding Package – Gomersal Park Hotel – Bradford – Yorkshire – 14/07/2017

*Thank you Matthew for all your hard work at our vow renewal yesterday. We are so very lucky that my Daughter Gemma came across your page! You are an extremely talented Musician and all our guests were raving about you! Thank you from a very thrilled ” Bride and Groom ” xx – Jayne Fitzpatrick – Vow Renewal – Lofthouse Hill Golf Club, Wakefield – 24/06/2017

*Well a couple of weeks ago Matt turned up at my wedding and got on with the job in hand, I had every confidence in his ability singing and the additional stuff that comes with the wedding package was just the icing on the cake. Smoke, bubbles, longer sets without being asked , mobile when needed – in the woods, in the barn, up on the lawn, he just worked around every situation without any instruction and he was awesome. I would have no reservations in recommending him for any wedding (inside or out) just hired him and sat back and relaxed .. he is worth every penny and more . Thanks Matt x – Philip Barksby – All Day Wedding Package – Doncaster – 28/05/2017

*Matt we cannot thank you enough for helping to make our wedding extra special last month!! You were amazing from first point of contact and even more spectacular on the day!! Nothing was too much trouble in terms of our requests for songs for you to learn etc and in reality everything sounded beautiful!! You are such a trooper, powering through from the start to the end of our day, we cannot commend or recommend you enough to our family and friends!! I really hope to have the pleasure of hearing and seeing you at more upcoming weddings and events!! For anyone out there considering booking a acoustic guitarist/DJ look no further, you won’t find anyone better than Matt in terms of the quality of his voice and playing, as well as great value for your money!! Xxx – Helina Hurren – All Day Wedding Package – Sandburn Hall – York – 30/04/2017

*Matthew sang and DJ’d for me at my 60th birthday a couple of week’s ago and he didn’t disappoint. He is very accommodating to what you want him to sing or play. I would recommend him to anyone and you couldn’t wish to meet a nicer person. Thanks again Matthew. – Birthday Party – Joan Gomersell –  Wentbridge House, Wakefield – 24/03/2017

*We enjoyed our wedding day so much and Mathew just made it even more special. He was completely proffesional whilst being friendly and funny. All our guests agreed that he was brill and loads said they would definately ask him to provide entertainment at there functions. There is not one doubt that we will be seeing (and hearing ) Mathew again. Its rare that things are better than you hope but Mathew really was. What a lovely and talented person. Your stuck with us Mathew. –  Cath and Len – Wedding – Ennerdale Country House – The Lake District – 03/03/2017

*Great entertainment from start to finish, happy to take requests and played a wide variety of music. Highly recommended! Thank you Matthew. – Claire Dawson – Christening – Barnsley, Yorkshire 12/02/2017

*Matt you was fantastic start to finish! Good laugh as well as a great singer!!  You were the talk of the party! Thank you again for coming. – Charysse Poulter – 30th Birthday Party – 05/02/2017 – Healds Hall – Leeds

*Matthew sang and DJed at our wedding at Tankersley Manor in December. He was so much help to us through the whole process, guiding us through things like sound level meters that we had never heard of and even saving us money by helping us to avoid an extra charge the venue tried to put on our bill. He had knowledge of the chain of the hotels and instantly pointed us in the right direction to make sure we didn’t pay an extra penny. He sang and DJed to a high standard until two in the morning, but he did so much more for us than that – it was like having an extra little planner on our side that was able to guide us through some rough patches. We have since stayed in touch and would definitely book him again. – Nicola Hall – Wedding – Tankersley Manor – Yorkshire – 17/12/2016

*Me & Jen discovered Matt on a night out for food at The Royal, where he got up & played & sang a few numbers unplanned. He had the whole room singing along, & we both admired his talents! So when it came to arranging entertainment for our hometown wedding party, 26/11/16, we thought he would be perfect. At the start of the night whilst everyone was getting in the mood, Matt played & sang, & took requests, & set a lovely atmosphere.. & then once the mood was set he got the party started with his disco set! Everyone a had a cracking night.. We would not hesitate to recommend him for weddings or any other functions.. Thanks again Matt.. top man! – John and Jennifer Ingram – Wedding – Chilli and Grille – Barnsley – 26/11/2016

*Matt what can I say? You were amazing from the start of the planning through to our wedding yesterday! Nothing was too much trouble, always on hand whenever I had a bride melt down moment giving advice when I needed it! Everyone at the wedding loved it and kept asking where we had found you. When I booked you I had a good feeling and you were better than we could have ever imagined! Thank you again for everything! Good luck with your nuptials next year! Hopefully you will feel just as at ease as you made me feel with your entertainment. Mr and Mrs Charles xx – Wedding – Lazaat Hotel – Cottingham – 22/11/2016

*We booked Matthew for our wedding reception on 29th Oct 2016 The Holiday Inn, Dodworth. He was fantastic! He played a good variety of songs on his guitar while people where arriving and everyone commented how good he was and how nice and chilled the atmosphere was, he then went on to do the disco after everyone had eaten. Nothing was too much trouble, he even helped me with decorations for the room before hand as I was on my own. He took any requests that anyone had no matter what they asked for, everyone had a brilliant night and praised Matthew’s professionalism and attention to detail. A couple of my friends are booking him for a christening and others have asked for contact details. I would highly recommend Matthew for any type of venue whether that be a quiet party or something a little more loud. He tailored to our every need and I can’t thank him enough for making sure the night ran smoothly. I will definitely be booking him again in the future for any gatherings we have and his name will be the first I pass on to anyone that has any entertainment needs. Thanks again Matt, we are both truly grateful for everything you did and thank you for keeping my guests happy. – Beki & Gaz Jackson xx Wedding – Holiday Inn – Barnsley – Yorkshire – 29/10/2016

*I booked Matthew for our presentation evening and I was really impressed with the range of songs, he is a really good guitarist and singer. Matthew is lovely and I found him very obliging, he has a really warm easy going nature and I’m sure with his musical ability he would make any function enjoyable!  I would definitely recommend Matthew. – Jenny Shaw, Social Secretary Wickersley C.I Bowling Club – Rotherham Golf Club – 14/10/2016

*Matt has impressed us from start to finish. He stepped in at the last minute (having been let down by another act) to perform for our wedding, learning our first dance song with less than three weeks notice. He then performed an amazing version of it and was more than happy to assist with any other requests throughout the evening. He was in regular contact with myself (the bride) putting my mind at rest that everything would be taken care of which it really was. We found that Matt was professional, friendly and couldn’t have provided better entertainment for our wedding, would highly recommend.’ Thank you very much again love for all your help, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Laura and Karl xx – Laura and Karl Logan – Wedding party – Marris Barn – Lincolnshire – 4/10/2016

*Matt you are a star! Simply! You were great from start to finish. You were always there for me to help me with my decisions even when I decided not to do the first dance you didn’t let us give up. Thank you not only for the brilliant singing and part but for the friendship and advice you given me throughout this whole process. Without you and your star quality the party would have never been the same. I can’t thank you enough and thank you doesn’t do justice for the amount of fun I had! You played Karma Chameleon for me at the cocktails and all yours (and now I know requests songs) were absolutely perfect! You give love a bad name is one of my big favourite songs of all times!!!
Thank you for telling us your side of the story which adds a lot for that fantastic day and for the great pictures! You are not only a great singer but also a great writer! Thank you so so much! Now I can only hope I can have the privilege of listening to you singing again! (Or watching you throwing some moves on the dance floor!!!) X Cami – Camilla and Thomas Garbutt – Wedding Package – The Crown Inn – Roecliffe –  North Yorkshire – 1/10/2016

*Matthew played at my mum’s surprise party in my garden at home. It was lovely and intimate even though there was less than 20 guests Matthew gave it great atmosphere. He has a wonderful voice and is a very talented musician. As well as that he is a thoroughly nice bloke! I would definitely book Matthew again and highly recommend him no matter what size your event. Thanks again Matthew, lovely memories x – Sarah and Daniel Hall – Garden Party – Rotherham – 20/08/2016

*Matthew Stephens was hired to play at our wedding on Friday 19th August 2016, we were a little cautious about hiring a wedding singer for our special day as my mate got married a few weeks beforehand and their wedding singer got a little drunk and was asked to leave! We were determined to find one. When I saw Matthew’s blog on Facebook I was taken back as he was the first one that I found and I knew he was the one I wanted. I googled him and watched his videos on YouTube, after a while I got in touch with him and he was available. Booking him was hassle free – ‘Here’s my date are you free? YES Can I book you? YES’ ……DONE!!! Deposit paid, quick text before to make sure all was still good. He was so polite and his kind words made me and my new wife book him immediately. On the night of the event, he turned up and was an instant hit with my family and friends and made our night a night to remember. Matthew plays a very wide range of music from oldies to modern. He will be the first singer that I call on for any functions or events that I or my wife organise from now on. John Begley – The Croft Hotel – Bradford – 19/08/2016

*Oh Matt, you were just amazing!! Not just that but a really lovely guy! With only a month to go we were let down by our original DJ and you jumped in and saved the day, it must have been fate! Would recommend you to anyone, thanks again! xxxx – Emma Dowson – The Piebald Inn – Hunmanby, Filey – 13/08/2016

*We would like to say how thankful and truly grateful we are for everything Matthew did for us on our wedding day. Our DJ pulled out the night before our big day due to a sick family member and Matthew didn’t hesitate to step in at incredibly short notice, despite having a morning wedding too. He learnt our acoustic song for the first dance (in 24 hours!) and downloaded our entire requested playlist – what more could we ask for? Alongside all of this he took requests all night and got every guest up dancing and having an amazing time. Thank you so much, Mr and Mrs Cornelius – Wedding Party – The Triton Inn – Brantingham, Hull – 23/07/2016

*We booked Matthew for our drinks reception after hearing him perform at a friends party. Matthew sent us an extensive repertoire of songs so we could choose the ones most meaningful to us. The performance was fantastic throughout and really complimented our reception.  I would definitely recommend and would definitely book Matthew again in the future for parties. – Leanne Heigold (now Carter!!) – Wedding Reception – Tankersley Manor – Birdwell, Barnsley – Yorkshire – 22/07/2016

Thank you so much for everything you did to make us happy, you promised us that you’d do everything we asked and you did just that. The drinks reception was perfect and people kept coming up and telling us how great they thought you were; and then the disco was fun too. So a huge thank you from us, we just wish we could do it all again! – Kimberley and Mark Stott – Wedding – Yorkshire – Ripon Cathedral

*Hi Matt, it’s Laura and Robert, Just thought we’d send you a message thanking you for Saturday. The day was amazing from start to finish and you really helped with that. As well as the playing, the additional planning you helped us with was above and beyond! We loved your playing and singing but the way you helped us coordinate the entertainment and our friend’s band was invaluable – we don’t know what we’d have done without you! Thank you again and we’ll never fail to recommend you should the opportunity arise. Xxx – Laura and Robert O’Riley – Wedding – Dorfold Hall – Cheshire – 30/4/2016

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you in the future. It was lovely to meet you and thanks again, Stephanie. – Stephanie Thirlwell – 60th birthday party Cafe Marconi – Harrogate – 23/04/2016

A must do booking for any pub party or wedding event. Keeley Crookbain, Director & Landlady –  434 The Pledwick Well Inn – Newmillerdam, Wakefield – 16/04/2016

*Hi Matt, We could not have been more happy with you! Thank you very much for Friday. We were so pleased you took the effort to learn the list of songs we gave you! It made the drinks reception more than just a little break between the ceremony and the food. We and the guests were really entertained. Thank you again, Sue.

*Matt is really talented and sounds fantastic! He fit into our wedding day perfectly, playing the type of music we love and creating a great vibe that all our family & friends (plus the venue staff) really enjoyed. Other than that, i’d just like to say a massive thank you again on behalf of both of us. You were really great and loads of our guests loved it and commented on what a great atmosphere you helped create. The day kind of flew by for us and I wish I could have just sat and watched you play to
be honest  Cheers fella!  – David and Fran Burley – Wedding Ceremony. Ripon, Harrogate, North Yorkshire –  10/06/2014

*We hired Matthew to play in our wine cafe to provide some background music while people were eating but he did more for us than we expected. The customers were really getting into the music, Matthew was taking requests and talking to the customers – he really made it feel more like a fun live event than just a bit of background music. We had so many positive comments and everyone was thanking Matthew as they left. We would definitely have him back in the future. – Veeno Wine Cafe – Leeds – 23/03/2016

*We hired Matt to perform after our wedding ceremony as we wanted live music which would create a relaxed feel to our wedding day. Matt was terrific from start to finish. He took on board our musical tastes and really helped organise a perfect set for our special day. All of our guests commented on how great Matt was and what a good atmosphere he helped us create. We also asked Matt to DJ in the evening due to being let down by another DJ at the last minute. Yet again nothing was too much trouble. I would 100% recommend Matt for any event and we would certainly look to book Matt again. – Lindsay and Jason Henderson – Raven Hall Hotel, Ravenscar, Scarborough, North Yorkshire – 2014

*Matt sang at our drinks reception and was our DJ for the evening do. We had so much fun all day and Matt really helped with that. He played on an extra hour at the drinks reception as everything was running late and never batted an eyelid. He also set up a microphone for our speech makers as we wanted to make sure everyone could hear in the large reception room. We would definitely recommend – Caroline And Chris Moody – Kirklevington Hall, North Yorkshire – 19/02/2016

*Matthew played during my ceremony, during the drinks reception and then provided a DJ service in the evening and my husband and I were super happy with everything he did for us. Nothing was too much and he even came and did us a little audition in the corner of our local pub to make sure we were happy with what he was going to do. We thought that was great and we were very happy and booked him straight away. Would definitely recommend. – Susan and Chris Marshall – Peckforton Castle, Stone House Lane, Peckforton, Tarporley, Cheshire – 08/08/2015

*Hi again Matthew, What a day! We had so much fun and it was better than we ever thought it would be and we just wanted to thank you for being a part of it. A particular highlight for us was coming up the drive in the horse and carriage and hearing you in the distance playing our song on the patio. A total dream come true. We would definitely recommend! – David and Tara Campbell –  Mitton Hall, Blackburn, Lancashire. 15/08/2015

We couldn’t have asked for more, especially as you learned five songs as a last minute stand in and we would definitely recommend you to anyone. – Kirsty and Ashley Read – Skipton, North Yorkshire – 25/07/2015

*Dear Matthew, Many thanks for being our entertainer at our annual Christmas Party last week. Everyone enjoyed your music and singing and I would certainly recommend you to others.  You certainly are a good all rounder with your range of song titles and we would say most suitable for all kinds of celebrations. Thank you also for providing the excellent background music from your extensive collection, between your performances. You were so nice and friendly to have around and you made the party really special. We will certainly be booking you in the future!! Best wishes for the future.
Kindest Regards – Pam Sharp – Ox Pasture Hall – Wakefield, West Yorkshire – 20/12/2015

*Matt always does the sound and lights and music at our annual Hair And Beauty Awards Ceremony and did a perfect job. We use his facilities to announce the award nominations and winners along with accompanying music and also for a disco with lighting after the ceremony – this is all done to a high standard. He fits seamlessly into the events and everything goes without a hitch! Would definitely recommend – Claire Schofield – Barnsley College Hair And Beauty Department, Barnsley, South Yorkshire – 2014 onwards
