Real Reviews By Real People
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

What an amazing band!! Thank you so much for a fantastic night of entertainment on Saturday at Heskin Hall for our wedding. The first dance played live was brilliant and you had everyone up on the dance floor for the whole night. You played everything we asked for and we couldn't have asked for anything more. Such friendly guys who clearly enjoyed the night as much as everyone else and who were so helpful right from booking them through to the big night itself. Thanks guys.
