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.

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.

Incredible singer, a must book!!!
We had Matthew perform during our drinks reception, he was great from first booking accommodating different set timings. He is an exceptional singer with a great variety of songs which had something for every guest. We had so many comments on how good Matthew was and really helped provide an amazing atmosphere to the reception. We would recommend booking Matthew!!!

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.
