These guys are fab!! They played at our wedding on 1st October 2016 at The Old Hall, Ely & got everyone up on the dance floor and everyone commented on what a fab band they are! When our wedding got cut short due to me falling and breaking my ankle Matt was really lovely and even offered to drive us to hospital! Just wish we'd have got our full night with you guys playing!! Oh, and our selfie � Xxxxx

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 Us?
Unlike most wedding bands for hire, we are a 2 piece with no backing tracks. This means the show is completely LIVE. We find this makes interacting with the crowd a lot easier and that’s always fun! Offering an extensive set list and charisma to match, we have something for everyone to enjoy. Playing over 120 weddings a year, you can be sure that we know how to get the party started!
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.
