Real Reviews By Real People
Matt played for us at our wedding, they couldn't have been more professional and accommodating. They played everything we asked for, learnt a piece for my walk down the aisle and set up/moved around the venue without anyone noticing these tricky transitions. We really couldn't have asked for more! If anyone is looking for someone to play live music/DJ at your wedding really do not hesitate in booking Matt!

You played at our wedding in Dorset on 5th April 2014. You made our night- the one thing all our guests still talk about is the band! My cousin hired you for his wedding the following year in Devon and we were so excited to see you and you were just as amazing! Variety of songs and crowd interaction like no other band. We joked about renewing our vows just so we could hire you again! Thank you so much!xxx
