He was professional , Friendly, well dressed and on time and chatted away to our guests creating a laid back atmostphere which is what we wanted. He also was very flexible around timings as we had to change a view things to work around the wedding plan.

The perfect soundtrack for our special day
One of the most special moments of our wedding day was walking down the aisle to our favourite song, which Matt beautifully transformed into an acoustic version just for us. It was an incredibly emotional moment and something we will always remember.
Matt played a number of sets throughout the day and was absolutely fantastic. His guitar playing and singing were amazing, creating the perfect atmosphere for our celebration. So many of our guests commented on how talented he was and how much they enjoyed him.
Nothing was too much trouble, and he was so accommodating in helping us create exactly the kind of music we wanted.
If you're looking for a talented acoustic guitarist with a brilliant voice, outstanding professionalism, and a warm, personable approach, Matt is the perfect choice.
Emily & Matt's Lake District wedding
An Amazing Wedding Singer Who Made Our Day
In the lead-up to the wedding, we weren’t entirely sure what we were doing, but Matt took the time to talk everything through with us. He guided us through the process, answered all our questions, and really helped put us at ease. By the time the day came, we felt completely comfortable and confident that everything was in safe hands.
On the day itself, he was incredible. His voice is outstanding, and he has such an extensive range of songs to choose from, which made it easy to find the perfect music for every moment.
He played a huge part in making our wedding so special and memorable. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and genuinely helpful wedding singer, Matt is the one to book!
Thank you again for everything — you were amazing!
Absolutely fantastic
Blown away by his voice!
Incredibly talented musician - perfect for our wedding ceremony and after and we wished we'd booked him for the entire day!
By far our best wedding booking!

Hello!
I've been told that I need to write a bit about myself here, but I guess the problem is that the biggest thing in my life is playing music, so it can be difficult to talk about much else!
I guess I'm just a big fan of "art" and probably a little bit obsessive about my favourite stuff - be it my favourite films, my favourite books or my favourite music - I could go on about them at length. I also love cooking. I don't claim to be a great chef by any means but I love food and drink and use cooking to relax and wind down. Travel is important to me and there may even be parts of the year that I'm unavailable because I'm away, sometimes working abroad or on a cruise ship!
I've been playing music live for most of my life and I've come to find an added enjoyment for me is just doing a "good job" - and by that I mean, figuring out what you want and setting out the expectations for what you'll get from my performance. It's important to me that I'm good match for your event and that I'll arrive confident that I'm about to help create the atmosphere that we both have in mind. I love playing music but I love it even more when I know that I'm playing the right song in the right moment.
