Corporate FunctionReviewed on February 17, 2014From Raleigh, IL

Matthew was, as usual, great. I do have an issue, I think, with the $20 fee payment. I made one last week. The email confirmation didn't come before I got another message to pay to it, which I did again. Please check to see if there is a double payment for the $20 fee. Thanks.

Holiday PartyReviewed on December 20, 2013From Raleigh, NC

Matthew was the perfect choice for our holiday party. He was very professional, arrived early and our guests really enjoyed the music. The day after the party I received numerous compliments about how wonderful the music was and that it made the event very classy. I will definitely schedule him for another event in the future!

Rehearsal DinnerReviewed on September 13, 2013From Raleigh, NC

Matthew Kanon's top quality performance at our outdoor rehearsal dinner party exceeded all expectations. He is an exceptional musician who provided the perfect soundtrack for a night filled with love and laughter. He kindly allowed us to highjack his speaker and microphone for our speeches as well! A wonderful talent and a lovely person too! Looking forward to being a repeat customer!

Matthew was great! He is the consummate professional. We had to move the ceremony inside at the last minute and Matthew didn't miss a beat (despite the commotion around him). The wedding music was beautiful. Thank you Matthew!

Matthew was so easy to work with and low key. The music for our ceremony was exactly what we wanted - we mixed contemporary and classical and he played every piece flawlessly. Friends are still commenting on how talented he was. Couldn't have asked for anything better. Thank you Matthew!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on December 18, 2012From Asheville, NC

Having Matthew perform at our reception was one of the best decisions we made! He's an extremely talented musician and happily honored our special requests, going so far as to even learn the song for our first dance. Everyone commented on how beautiful the music was and Matthew's repertoire of light classical and seasonal selections was varied and perfect. Matthew is also a gracious and kind person and very responsive by email. We made the decision to go with Matthew based on the strength of the excerpts on the website and he exceeded our already high expectations. We were absolutely thrilled with Matthew-he's excellent and a wonderful choice for your wedding music!

Total professional! AND a nice guy. Relaxed upon arrival and while performing. Couldn't have asked for a better acoustical guitar performance. As the mother of the bride at ceremony where he performed, my only regret was that I was unable to hear his pre-wedding performance! I would unequivocally recommend Matthew to anyone!

Matt was awesome! So responsive, so easy to work with, punctual and incredibly talented! He played during the cocktail hour at our wedding, and we could not have been more pleased with his performance. Highly recommend!

We hired Matthew to play for our wedding ceremony (October 2014). He went above and beyond for us, and was very professional and punctual via email getting everything set up before the wedding – zero stress, which was wonderful! He is an incredibly talented musician, and played beautifully all of our non-traditional song requests. I think he could literally play anything. It also goes to mention that he is a really, really nice guy. We can’t recommend Matthew enough!

Matthew is always on time, ready to go, professional and plays beautifully. I have worked with him many times now for my clients and always does such a great job. Look forward to working with him again in the future.

WeddingReviewed on September 14, 2014From Chapel Hill, NC

Matthew was great, he played a wonderful mix of popular and classic songs. One of the reasons we chose him was a desire to have our guests have a "hey I recognize that song" moment. We saw several guests faces light up with that exact reaction during our dinner. His music was also perfect in that it maintained fantastic ambiance without detracting from the dinner conversation at the reception.

Rehearsal DinnerReviewed on May 7, 2015From South Boston, VA

We were very pleased with Mr. Kanon. He was extremely talented, very accommodating, true to his description in services offered, flexible with scheduling, and learned a special piece of music without issue. His classical guitar sound set the mood of our rehearsal dinner perfectly and we really enjoyed having him play for us.

Matt was great to work with! He offered song suggestions when we needed guidance, and he replied quickly whenever we reached out to him. He played guitar beautifully. Highly recommend!

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on October 1, 2017From Raleigh, NC

If you're looking for an acoustic guitarist for your wedding ceremony, Matt is perfect! He was highly recommended to us by our officiant so we looked him up and read all of the incredible reviews and were immediately sold. We booked him several months in advance of our wedding and he was probably the easiest of our vendors to deal with. We sent him a couple of emails with some special song requests for the processional/recessional and he was very accommodating. Our wedding day was a total dream and Matt's beautiful music helped make our ceremony so special. We had many wedding guests comment to us later that they loved the music and thought Matt was very talented!
