Amazing from start to finish. People danced all night long with the band knowing exactly what to play and when. They were professional and extremely talented and I would not hesitate to recommend them again and again to friends and family.

Very talented duo. Went to a wedding a year or so ago where they performed and got the crowd going, helping to make a great day. Had a long chat with them at the bar once they had finished for the evening, really nice guys who had time for everyone.

Wow! Where do we start?! These guys were absolutely fantastic!!! We had the best wedding day and these guys totally topped it off. They were insane, I cannot recommend them enough. We are a bit of a lively bunch and Matt & Steve totally rocked with us. Our guests loved it and we have had so many comments about how good they were. They're not just a band, they become a guest and have fun with you. We had Charlotte on the piano for afternoon entertainment- she was absolutely incredible too, brought a tear to my eye. It certainly was a wedding night to remember. We are so pleased we booked Matt Strafford Duo, we really are!!! Loved every second! X

Why Choose Our Wedding Band?
Unlike most wedding bands for hire, we are a 2 piece with no backing tracks with a HUGE sound. This means the show is completely LIVE. We find this makes interacting with the crowd a lot easier and that’s what we do best! We are a band offering an extensive set list, high energy and charisma to match, we have something for everyone to enjoy on your big day. Don’t think because there is only 2 of us it will sound weak, take a listen to our tracks and watch our videos and see how we get a huge full band sound using Mumford & Sons style kick drums and tambourines!
We have a fully inclusive lighting and sound setup which can cater for between 50 to 350 capacity. We also bring our DJ with us to all evening events to ensure you have mixed music before, between and after our live sets.
