Review by Jess C.

FundraiserReviewed on March 1, 2008From Chicago, IL

The Matt Young group was amazing! They played a 300+ person gala for us last night and the music was fabulous. They can play everything from cocktail hour jazz to pack the dancefloor funk. We were so impressed not only with their music but their professionalism and overall personalities. They were all so nice, Matt especially went out of his way to make sure everything went well and that we were on schedule etc. If you want a great band, this is the one! I wish we had another party or gala soon so I could see them again!

Private PartyReviewed on February 18, 2008From Chicago, IL

Matt is very professional and easy to work with. The communication and correspondance leading up to the event is always clear and friendly, and the performance is always outstanding!! I have hired The Matt Young Group for several company events this year.

Corporate FunctionReviewed on February 12, 2008From Chicago, IL

The Matt Young Group was phenomenal!! I hired them to play for a customer appreciation event that we have every year for our high priority client's. They played background music for the cocktail and dinner hour and then played dance music for a couple of hours after dinner. We had never tried having dance music at our event, but wanted to give it a try this year. With The Matt Young Group, it was a huge success! They were energetic and fun to watch, and they had the dance floor packed by the end of the night. Everyone had a great time, and I have already booked them for several another events later this year, including my own daughter's wedding!!
