He really helped to set the atmosphere we were looking for during the reception. I can't speak highly enough of Matthew's ability as a singer and a guitarist. Prior to the big day, Matthew was responsive to questions, engaged in calls to discuss details of the day, and worked with us to create a set list to fit our wedding day. He was professional from start to finish, and I would highly recommend Matthew to friends and family for future events."
