About

Cassandra Mathews is a versatile guitarist and vocalist with many years of experience delighting audiences worldwide. Her subtle vocals will enhance the background of your wedding party without overshadowing the main event - the couple, of course!
Cassandra is a bespoke wedding entertainer who is happy to take requests so the couple can personalise their music selection as much as they like. She is also available to book with a percussionist (who also happens to be her husband!). This combination is more suited to wedding receptions and even for the evening party, as Rodrigo (her husband) brings the beat and gets the party started!
Unlike other guitar vocalists, Cassandra is a classically trained guitarist and can offer beautiful instrumental music for your ceremony. Classics such as Pachelbel's Canon in D, stunning Bach preludes, and even Brazilian bossa novas are available for those who want something a little bit out of the ordinary.
In terms of technical specifications, Cassandra can be booked as a completely acoustic artist or with a full 1000W PA system, which can fill those larger spaces.

Cassandra Matthews is a wedding vocalist and guitarist in Oxford, Oxfordshire.

Incredible finger style guitarist - made our day so special

Cassandra was absolutely amazing. She has such a huge repertoire and was so attentive to what we wanted for our wedding. Not only did she play beautifully for both our ceremony and reception, but even went the extra mile to learn a particular version of a song I love so that I could walk down the aisle to it - something I'll never forget. Her guitar playing is beautiful. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Thank you Cassandra for making our day so special!

Bright and soulful performer, very easy to work with

We chose Cassandra to play at our wedding ceremony. She was absolutely fantastic to work with!

In the build up her communication was clear and timely. She was very responsive and accommodating of what we wanted for the day. On the day she was such a happy, joyful presence, which made us feel very relaxed - it was like having another guest at our wedding. Her repertoire and song choices were spot on for what we needed both pre- and post-ceremony.

I cannot recommend Cassandra highly enough!"

Fantastic singer for a fantastic day

We hired Cassandra to perform at our wedding ceremony and reception in August 2024 after seeing her perform on holiday back in 2021 and she didn't disappoint. Her guitar skills and effortless vocals were exactly what we remembered from our holiday and were a perfect accompaniment to the day - we received many compliments! Cassandra kindly learnt a couple of songs that weren't on her sample repertoire list and performed them like she had been performing them for years. Highly recommend.

Just, perfect!

Amazing! Communication from start to finish… Cassandra was perfect! She was at our venue before we arrived all ready to go, and the songs were beautifully sang! Effortless 😊
