Matthew demonstrates the utmost professionalism in his manner and in his musical talents. Anyone who hires Matthew will be completely satisfied.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on April 8, 2012•From Wake Forest, NC

Matthew is a true professional. I hired him to play at my best friend's wedding reception. I was blown away by his talent. The guests marveled at how beautiful his music was. I would reccomend him for any special occasion.

If you are looking for a guitarist for your event, I would put Matt at the top of your list. WHAT a fantastic performer. He was easy to communicate with, the price was right, he showed up early, played a duet with my younger brother for my wedding processional, took a last minute request when the ceremony was altered after the rehearsal, and I was told that he was a very talented musician (as I didn't hear too much, probably always a problem for the bride!). Thank you, Matt, you helped to create a beautiful wedding ceremony.

Matt was wonderful as our ceremony musician at our wedding. As others have said, he is talented and a breeze to work with. I especially appreciated that he was professional and cheerful despite the fact our ceremony was outdoors and it was rather chilly that day- what a trooper! I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!

Matthew played for our wedding ceremony and he did a great job. He was very accommodating and learned two songs that we requested. One of these songs he played to accompany my husband's cousin, who was our vocalist. He was also willing to practice with our vocalist prior to guests arriving. Guests were very complimentary of his music, and my husband and I just wish we had had the opportunity to hear more of it!

Matthew performed for our wedding ceremony and he was great! He was easy to book and contact when needed! Everyone commented on how well he played prior to the ceremony! It could not have been any easier to book him for our big day!

Matthew is not only a very talented musician, he is so professional and easy to work with. By far he was the least stressful part of our daughter's destination wedding. I highly recommend anyone wanting a classical guitarist to book him without hesitation. We will definitely want Matthew to be involved again especially since we both live in Raleigh. Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 25, 2012•From Belmont, NC

Matt did a wonderful job!! I barely saw him since the day was so crazy but he acted with very little direction and was great about communicating with me before the wedding several times so that I knew I was in good hands on the day of. He was very flexible when asked him to make some changes. Overall it was a great experience and it was so nice to know that I didn't have to worry about the piece of the day. Would definitely recommend!!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on August 11, 2012•From New Hill, NC

Matthew was easy to work with, open to learning a new piece that we wanted for the ceremony and played beautifully, as well as accompanying our soloist. I would recommend him for other events.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 6, 2012•From Charlotte, NC

Honestly, I didn't get to talk to Matt since I was so busy with my wedding, but I saw he arrived on time and he sounded great! Also very easy to correspond with via email.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 3, 2012•From Wilmington, NC

Matthew was awesome! We had to move our ceremony site on the beach to the house and he had to squeeze into a tight space but was able to play just beautifully. He was so easy to work with! Everyone complimented on how good he was during the ceremony and cocktail hour. We had picked 3 songs for the wedding the week before and he was able to play 2 songs that wasn't on the sample list including a very new song by Jason Mraz. I would highly recommend him for any event!! Thanks Matt. -Ruth

I am very happy that I hired Matthew for our wedding. He was very professional, showed up early, and did everything we requested. I had asked for a few special songs that may be a bit obscure but he was able to play them and played them very well! Having him there with his music really set the mood. He plays very well and I really enjoyed the music! I asked for contemporary music and the way he played made the music sound sophisticated without being too stuffy. It was just right!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on July 1, 2014•From Raleigh, NC

He was very nice, professional, accommodating; and even offered to learn some new songs if we wanted him to play something not in his current repertoire.

Review by Michelle K.

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on June 8, 2014•From Durham, NC

Matthew did a great job. He was on site early and ready to go. He accommodated all our requests beautifully (a Beatles and Edith Pilaf song), and even let us use his speakers for the officiant's mic. Definitely recommend!

Rehearsal Dinner•Reviewed on May 16, 2014•From Cary, NC

Matthew showed up early and was dressed professionally. He was ready to play by the time the first guest arrived. We asked him in advance if he would be able to move from the outdoors after cocktails and appetizers to indoors for the meal. He had no trouble making the transition not only in location, but from louder music to quieter dinner music. Matthew was extremely talented and his music added to the special evening of our son's rehearsal dinner.

Wedding•Reviewed on February 26, 2014•From Fuquay Varina, NC

Matthew was great! He contacted me before the wedding to be sure he had the song list right. He was very professional and he even added songs in the cocktail hour that I really enjoyed. I really enjoyed hearing him play at our wedding. He was wonderful!
