We can’t say enough about Matt! He is a fabulous pianist who can play anything off the cusp. He is able to listen to a song the first time and play it perfectly. Matt helped create the perfect play list to fit our quaint Sunday morning/afternoon wedding. We rented a piano for Matt to play which made it easy since the hall didn’t have one. I would hire him in an instant for any big or small events! Thank you so much for making our day so special!

I’ve had the joy of experiencing Matt’s music live since I was very young and every single time I hear him play, I walk away more impressed. He’s always had a rare gift with music. He doesn’t just play beautiful music but he knows how to read the room and can adapt to the moment, mood, and people around him. Whether it’s an elegant evening, a happy celebration, or a more intimate setting, he always knows exactly what to play to make it feel just right. His flexibility to play a variety of music is unreal. He can shift from oldies and classics to new favorites with ease, because he can pick anything and everything up so easily. Everything is played from the heart. Beyond his talent, Matt always brings a warmth to any space. Matt is a person that people have always naturally gravitated towards since I have known him. He’s humble, easygoing, and always puts a smile one your face whether music is involved or not. Matt is truly an exceptional pianist and person all around. Whatever you are planning…he will be sure to bring whatever you want to the table and really make your special day...the best day ever!!
