Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 3, 2012•From Chicago, IL
The Matt Nelson Trio provided the perfect musical accompaniment to our wedding. They were so easy to work with and totally ready to handle any special requests. When you hire this trio, you aren't getting a group that just does gigs on the side, you are getting full-time professional musicians. These are very accomplished artists with an extensive background in music.
I would highly recommend Matt Nelson Trio to anyone looking for any style of live jazz. They can do it all.

I booked the trio for a cocktail reception. Our clients are Fortune 500 companies, so I was looking for a very professional and talented band. Graham responded very quickly to the quote request and followed up with a call. The attendees really loved the band, they wore appropriate attire, were nice and polite and very talented; we therefore booked them for the following night’s cocktail reception. Furthermore, we’re holding a similar event in 2 months and I just rebooked the Matt Nelson Trio to perform during the 2 cocktail receptions.

Hiring the Matt Nelson Trio to play for our Saturday afternoon wedding reception was one of the best decisions we made! My husband and I are both musicians, so the music was a big priority for us. Graham was so professional when working out the details & special requests. A superbly talented vocalist, Sarah Young, joined the group -- I'd highly recommend her as well. Our guests (many of them musicians) raved about the music! Ironically, the keyboardist who played at our wedding was not Matt Nelson, but the musician who did play was top-notch! Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend the Matt Nelson Trio to anyone who wants to add charm and elegance to their event!

We hired the Matt Nelson Trio to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. The Trio arrived extra early for set-up, played beautiful music, and was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. We would highly recommend their services!

We hired Matt Nelson Trio for our classic wedding at The Orpheum Theatre October 11, 2008. They fit the venue perfectly! They looked and sounded great and we couldn't have been happier! My cousin is a musician and he was impressed with their talent as well. Everyone had a great time and the Matt Nelson Trio definately contributed to that!
Thanks guys!

I was positively stunned at the level of talent of the Matt Nelson Trio! I got so many compliments on the band and how classy and elegant they made the reception. They played a wide variety of songs that appealed to many different people and they were able to keep it lively when appropriate and low key when appropriate. I had swing dancing friends, latin dancing friends, and people who just liked to ballroom dance or sway back and forth, and EVERYONE was happy with the music! Matt Nelson Trio made me look like a very smart, hip, and savvy bride!

Due to traffic, the band was late, one arrived after the event began. There was a miscommunication between myslef and Graham, we requested Latin Jazz and they were ready to play regular jazz. It all worked out in the end, but was frustrating during the event.

From start to finish, this was the most professional group of performers I have had the pleasure of working with. I had absolutely no issues whatsoever. The quality of their performance was outstanding, and my guests complemented me numerous times on how great they were. I would recommend them to anyone, and would definitely choose them again for my next party.

My bride and I were extremely happy with The Matt Nelson Trio. They provided the ideal performance for our wedding; their music and volume level (we asked them to provide background music for cocktails and dinner) provided the perfect vibe. In addition, Graham was diligent in working out the details of the performance so that we didn't have to worry about it during/after the wedding. I highly recommend them.

The Matt Nelson Trio was excellent. These guys have got chops. The music was classy, well-performed, and provided the perfect atmosphere for our brunch wedding. And, they were great to work with and really blended into and complemented the setting. I'd recommend them for any upscale event.

We had a song request for our first dance at the wedding and for the father daughter dance. While the band could play the songs that were so important to us, the soloist couldn't sing the songs. She was a replacement as someone got sick, but we didn't find out until that day. Everything else was great, but we were disappointed that we didn't get to dance to the lyrics of our special song.
