Matt Strafford Duo played at our wedding on December 12th 2015 and they were absolutely fantastic! We have had so many comments about how amazing our wedding band was!! We had them during the day and in the evening! Our guests hardly left the dance floor all night and I have the most amazing memories of us all dancing/jumping around all night!! I would 100% recommend!! Absolutely brilliant! 🙂

Do yourself a favour, book Matt Strafford Duo for your wedding as early as you can and then rest easy that you have the best wedding band you'll ever find. Incredibly entertaining, accommodating and friendly guys who love what they do and simply know how to rock a wedding. Thanks guys for your amazing performance at Longstowe Hall on Saturday night, we couldn't be happier that we chose you.
