Matthew was highly professional, arrived on time and worked with my wedding planner to get setup. He played beautifully, I just wish I could have heard more, but as the bride you don't spend too much time in the ceremony area before the wedding! I would highly recommend Matthew.

Matt played during the ceremony and cocktail hour of our wedding and did a fantastic job! He learned a new song that was special to me to walk down the isle to. Matt was very accommodating and overall did a really great job. Would definitely recommend Matt to anyone needing an acoustic guitar player!

Matt played beautifully for us and was very flexible and accommodating throughout the whole process. He was willing to work with my family to share equipment for the ceremony and put up with our slightly disorganized planning. He contributed just the right atmosphere for our cocktail hour(s). Thank you, Matt!

Mr. Ocone did a wonderful job for our wedding pre-ceremony and ceremony music! We were very pleased and happy with the classical guitar music. He was very willing to learn 3 new songs for our wedding, and played the music for a congregational song. He knew when to start and fade out. He came early and set up and was prepared. His prices are very reasonable too...we were very grateful and happy with his talent!
