First, let me just DJ Matty Mo (also known as Matty Moriarty) is a phenomenal DJ and equally phenomenal human. If you don't read this whole thing...
TL:DR; he is worth every penny and will make your event next-level excellent.
We connected wi...th Matty Mo through another preferred vendor of our wedding site (Snowbird Ski Resort), which was our photographer (Austen Diamond Photography, also amazing).
We were wildly lucky, as our October date is very late in the wedding season, and Matty was still open on that date as luck would have it. We got a chance to meet with him over Zoom, and knew immediately we had to work with him. He was kind, curious, infectiously positive, and just a "great vibes" type of person, but also really meticulous about his craft. I could tell as a fellow musician and creator he had a very thorough process, and it was clear he is very passionate about what he does (but also about curating a great experience for us as a couple).
From the jump, he was also very clear in communication, transparent in expectations, and collaborative on making our day awesome. This made it so easy for us!
To boot, 3 months ahead of our wedding, we were going to be in town (we are from out-of-state), and Matty Mo invited us to see him spin at a club called Lake Effect in downtown SLC. Besides the fact the venue is super cool, we got to see him throw it down in person before our actual wedding and man this guy can rip. We only planned to stay for like a half hour, but an hour-and-a-half later we could barely force ourselves off the dance floor because Matty was ripping and mixing absolute banger after banger seamlessly. He was SO MUCH FUN to see spin, and we knew without shadow of a doubt our reception was going to be insane. The man is stupidly talented, and it's so freaking neat to see. What a treat!
When it came time to planning the actual wedding, he was very thorough in his process, his pre-questionnaire, etc. to help get a clear vision of our day and our needs. He provided previous responses from other clients to help give us guidance to help us think through things like our ceremony, our cocktail hour, our dinner time, our reception, etc. and it made it so much easier to get that guidance and support.
Ultimately, we felt empowered to give him a core list of hopes and dreams (and musical selections), and he just knocked it all out of the park. From hand-creating a special instrumental version of a song we loved and could walk down the aisle to, to creating a really fun celebratory vibe that never dropped once throughout the night, Matty absolutely crushed it for our wedding and reception.
Numerous people came up to us throughout the night and after to say how incredible our DJ was, and how awesome he kept the room's energy going. He even had the master stroke of an idea to offer glow sticks for the dance floor, and while I was unsure what to expect, these were an absolute SMASH with our guests. They had so much, and it only elevated the experience to another level.
We were absolutely elated with his work, and we cannot say enough positive things about Matty Mo. He is truly a master of a craft, and we cannot over-recommend him.
The man is worth every penny!
