Exceptional Talent and Thoughtful Service

We couldn’t be happier with the experience we from Matthew. From the very beginning, his communication was warm, professional, and incredibly responsive. He took the time to understand what we envisioned for the day and worked closely with us to tailor the music to suit every moment — from the ceremony to the evening celebration.

His willingness to accommodate our requests and collaborate on the finer details made us feel truly supported. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and his thoughtful approach helped create a relaxed, joyful atmosphere that carried through the entire day.

On the day itself, his performance was simply stunning. Beautiful vocals, flawless musicianship, and a genuine connection with the guests (we had so many comments afterwards saying how good he was) — he brought so much heart and energy to the occasion. It was clear he cared deeply about making the day special for us, and he absolutely delivered.

If you’re looking for a wedding musician who combines incredible talent with kindness, flexibility, and a real passion for what they do, we wholeheartedly recommend him. He helped make our day unforgettable.

Incredible

Matthew was an absolutely fantastic addition to our wedding- he played all of our ceremony music, drinks reception and a fun extra set at the end of our desserts- which was perfect for keeping the energy up after dinner. Matthew played our aisle song to absolute perfection and it made our day! All of our friends and family were extremely complimentary of the music throughout the day. Thank you so so much Matthew!

Amazing Wedding Singer!

After discovering Matthew on Hitched and Instagram, we knew immediately he would be the perfect fit for our wedding, and he absolutely was!

Matthew is incredibly talented, with an extensive repertoire of songs to suit every guest. After our initial phone call, he even learned our first dance song from scratch, which made the moment extra special. His voice is amazing, and to our delight, even the people we didn’t expect to dance were up on their feet! His set list was perfect, and all our friends and family couldn’t stop commenting on how fantastic he was.

Matthew was warm, friendly, and made everything so simple. We feel so lucky to have booked him and can’t recommend him highly enough. We’re already looking forward to seeing him perform live again!

you NEED Matthew at your wedding!

We initially met Matthew at our best friend's wedding in Croatia a couple of years ago as he was singing there. We knew straight away we had to have him at our wedding so we booked him when we got home. We got married in July 25 this year and he sang at our drinks reception. Everyone said how amazing he was and how nice the atmosphere was with him there. All of the songs that he performs are just our vibe down to a T so he was perfect.

He is super chilled, and reassuring throughout the whole process. Someone you can really trust to smash it.

Also, Matthew is always puts the most into his sets and isn't phased by high winds and scorching sun, haha. We can't thank him enough he is a lush person and was the perfect addition to our day.

From the initial message enquiring i just knew this guy was going to be special!
Our guests haven't stopped messaging to tell us just how amazing everything about Matt was, from his song choices for his sets, to the way he interacted with us all!
Matt learnt some songs for us including our 1st dance song which was a special song for us and he absolutely blew us away!
I could listen to Matt sing all day he has the best voice!

We can't recommend Matthew enough!

Matthew was a fantastic addition to our wedding - he was so kind, helpful and flexible throughout!
His playing was incredible, and all our guests were very impressed with his skills. He got almost everyone on the dance floor!
We also requested 2 special but very specific songs for our first dance and after, and he played them both beautifully.

We also had a silent disco as part of our wedding, and despite it being both our and his first time setting one up, it worked brilliantly! Matthew was able to solve any hiccups easily.
We would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for an excellent musician who is also practical, helpful and friendly!

Hancock wedding

We first discovered Matthew on the hitched site and booked through this site. We checked him out on Facebook and went to see him play twice prior to our wedding. As well as being a great singer and guitarist he is also a geninue nice down to earth guy.

Absolutely fantastic

From the second we booked him, Matthew’s communication was excellent and he made the whole process so easy. We had a tepee wedding and the weather meant he could perform outside (he was already set up and ready to play before I even arrived). He matched the vibe we wanted to create and played some great tunes that kept people signing and dancing all day. He nailed the aisle song and the first dance song that we requested. We had so many comments afterwards saying how amazing he was and then also later in the evening when he was joined by Ben as a duo act. Can’t thank them enough for helping to create the perfect wedding.

Absolutely smashed it!!

From first contact, all the way through the planning process, on the day and afterwards, Matthew has been absolutely brilliant. He got our vibe completely, wasn't phased by some of my more outlandish requests and I can honestly say his version of my aisle song is my absolute favorite! Whether it's a chilled vibe or a more upbeat feel you are after, I cannot recommend Matthew enough. Every single one of our guests commented on how fantastic he is and he really helped to make the ceremony and drinks reception one to remember.
Thank you so much Matthew, we'll be at a gig soon.

10/10 amazing 🤩

Matthew was amazing from the first phone call to our wedding day, nothing was too much, the music he sang was amazing and the dj sets he did were amazing, we’ve had so many questions from our guests about Matthew. I cannot recommend him enough. He stayed until the very end when it was just me and my husband left, thankyou so much Matthew ☺️

Perfect music for our ceremony and drinks reception!

We booked Matthew to play solo acoustic music for our ceremony and drinks reception on NYE. We are so glad we did, it was perfect. I requested a very special song to walk down the aisle and he sang a perfect acoustic cover and we couldn't be happier.
Guests throughout the day came to us to say how good he was and we could hear guests singing along as we were off having photos taken.
Communication throughout from booking to the day was fantastic and i would recommend him to anyone! Thank you again.

Our Wedding day

Matthew created a perfect relaxed atmosphere which is exactly what we wanted. His professional approach to doing our playlist and learning song's that were special to us. All communication with Matthew was exceptional and he was flexible on the day to learn a song so our daughter with his backing could sing our favourite song to us which was a surprise and a massive thanks to him. We would highly recommend him.
