Where do we begin… Matt is the most hard-working, passionate, and intuitive person we have ever met. We stopped searching for other DJs immediately after meeting Matt on the phone consultation because his talent & personality was evident instantly. He and his team are incredibly organized and experienced. Arguably, the DJ/MC of your wedding is the glue of the wedding day, more than people realize. They set the mood and are leaders of the energy. Now onto Matt…. He has a rare quality that most people don’t naturally have: he is an empath and is able to sense the personalities/emotions of the people in the room. He can pick up on subtle cues of people, understand every single person just by observing. This is EXTREMELY important for an event like a wedding. Without Matt, I don’t think my wedding day would have been as perfect as it was. Matt puts his whole heart into what he does. Speaking of his work ethic, my mom decided at the last minute to give Matt a task on the Thursday before the wedding day, which was to put recordings of me and my dad from 20+ years ago into the music of the father daughter dance as a surprise to me and all the guests. Matt said, “I’ve got this” and he sure did. And when the song came on… not a dry eye in the room. It was a moment in my life I will cherish forever and still replay in my head. There aren't enough words to thank Matt for what he did and who he is. If you are reading this and wondering whether to choose Matt and his team for your special day. DO IT.

Matt the Music Man is fantastic! We hired him to DJ for our reception and he exceeded our expectations. Firstly, he made the process enjoyable and easy to do. Our conversations with him felt like talking with a close friend. He listened to what we wanted and would offer suggestions, but he always asked if it was OK before giving them.
Secondly, the day of, he arrived promptly with his assistant Aidan and made sure everyone understood the timelines we set. There was a sense of care as they made sure the speakers/lights were set up in the most optimal way. Matt has a great ear, and understands atmosphere extremely well. He kept the vibes where they needed to be and everyone enjoyed dancing the night away.
Cherry on top, Aidan was able to get drone footage of the Lion Dance performers. This was a day of suggestion by Matt and we were elated.
We would highly recommend and will recommend Matt and Aidan to whoever needs a DJ! They made our special day even more special.

Matt is a professional! He listened in detail to us and personalized his MCing and DJing for us and our wedding guests. He truly is a talented DJ and musician, it showed with how he commanded our guests and got everyone dancing the entire night! He also has an app that makes planning music easier. Would highly recommend him! We are so very grateful we found him, he made our night exactly what we had hoped for and even more. He's GREAT!!! I would highly recommend

Matt was nothing short of perfection! From our first call I knew he was going to be the best DJ for us. I enjoyed learning about his music upbringing as it made me see the passion he has for DJing. He was able to come to the rehearsal and help with timing of my ceremony entrance and I just felt like what was going above and beyond. On the wedding day he handled everything asked of him and I got everything I wanted which was a packed dance floor and to dance the night away with my husband. If I have any other event in the future I would feel lucky to work with Matt again!

My husband and I just recently got married and needed to express how AMAZING of a job Matt did with our wedding!! I seriously believe he is the best DJ we have ever experienced and everyone else said the same thing! Matt did an exceptional job at making everyone feel comfortable enough to actually enjoy and dance the night away! From all the zoom calls before our event to finally arriving to our wedding day, Matt was the most understanding and supportive. He truly grasped how we had envisioned our dance floor to look like and made it happen. We will never forget his hard work and the passion he has for his craft! Matt, we are incredibly blessed and can’t thank you enough for everything(:

Matt was the most incredible vendor, and beyond that, a friend throughout this entire process. I will never forget our first video call with him where he spent an hour just getting to know us as a couple, and it meant so much to us. Throughout the planning, our video calls always felt like we were chatting with a friend, and he made sure to ask all the right questions to make sure our day went smooth! The day of the wedding Matt and his team were absolutely incredible, and helped make our special moments that much greater. We are so happy to have met Matt and he will be a dear friend to us forever beyond being our DJ ☺️.

From the moment that we met Matt over video chat, we IMMEDIATELY knew we had to book him for our big day. We booked him to play live guitar for cocktail hour and DJ Emcee the entire wedding. And, he ROCKED IT!
Book Matt of you want someone who is talented, communicative, passionate, personable, can hype the crowd, and most importantly is able to read the room and think quickly on his feet to ensure your wedding runs smoothly. The planning process was also a breeze with his app. I was able to sync Spotify playists or search music from the app and add it directly to an editable music timeline. As well as add any detailed notes for specific songs or moments.
Thank you Matt for making our night so perfect and memorable. Your passion for music and talent truly shows in your work!

If you want to have an amazing and epic dance floor, hire Matt!! After our wedding, so many people came up to us and said “wow, your DJ/MC was absolutely amazing!” Matt went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful time. His transitions were flawless, his timing was perfect, and his personality is truly something special.
Matt was one of the best things we ever did for our wedding! Stop looking and hire Matt. You will not regret it.
Thank you, Matt!! We love you!!

We had the funnest wedding and danced the night away all thanks to Matt! From the start, Matt knew our vibe and vision! The ceremony music was dreamy and perfect.. so was cocktail and dinner. Small things on a wedding day go off track but Matt kept the tunes going and was super adaptable when we ran a little behind on timeline. One of our favorite personal touch was the walk up songs for our parent and wedding party speeches. It hyped up each speaker and made them feel a little more comfortable as we cheered them up. I cannot thank or recommend him enough. Need a DJ/MC/vibe setter/hype man? He’s the one! Seriously my guest can’t stop talking about how much fun the dance floor was.

He really spent time getting to know us before the wedding, and it really showed. Matt’s app was super helpful to plan out our music for the event. Everyone raved about the music!

Working with Matt and his wife Sarah was an incredible experience, and they helped to make our wedding day run smoothly and be the best party for all of our guests. Matt went out of his way to visit our venue with us before the wedding to plan out where everything would be set up and help us feel comfortable with the plan. Matt and Sarah were extremely communicative through the whole process and we always had the information we needed.
When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Matt's MC skills created such a fun and easygoing ambiance. When the night came, he had the dance floor PACKED. He is truly so talented at what he does and was able to keep such a fun energy up that made the night such a blast for us and all of our guests.
We feel so fortunate to be able to work with Matt and Sarah and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for their wedding DJ!

Also, I wanted to mention how cool it was to watch your group of friends flip the room so that you guys could get out on time. I have NEVER seen 30 friends flip a room that quickly. That says a lot about you guys as a couple. Thanks for having us!

I can’t say enough great things about Matt and his team. My wedding fell apart. Power was out for 5 of the 7 hours and my coordinator disappeared. My guest were leaving and Matt stepped up. HE was my wedding. Without him I’d have no fun memories. Him and Aiden brought out battery lights. And Matt had his guitar. He got my bouquet & garter toss done. My most happy and memorable moment was when he played guitar and sang “grow old with you” while we cut our cake, in the dark (I’m literally crying thinking about it.) He is an amazing DJ/host and an even better human. I will be forever grateful for him. My wedding would’ve been an absolute disaster without him. He really brought the party literally. HE IS YOUR ONLY CHOICE. My husband and I love him and so did every single guest we had. Thank you Matt! I honestly don’t know what we would’ve done with you. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Matt is absolutely amazing! Hands down the greatest DJ ON EARTH!
On the big day, he arrived well ahead of time, ensuring that the setup was flawless and that everything was in place. As the evening progressed, his music selections were on point, ranging from classic love songs during dinner to upbeat tunes that got everyone on the dance floor afterward. The transitions between songs were seamless, and he expertly read the crowd to keep the energy high.
What truly set this DJ apart was his ability to engage the crowd. He interacted with our guests, taking requests, and even making announcements when needed. His charisma and enthusiasm were infectious, making everyone feel a part of the celebration.
The sound quality and lighting setup were also top-notch, enhancing the overall experience. The dance floor was alive, and our guests couldn't stop raving about the music and the fantastic atmosphere. It's not an exaggeration to say that our wedding reception would not have been the same without this DJ.
If you're searching for a wedding DJ who goes above and beyond to ensure your special day is unforgettable, I highly recommend Matt the DJ. His professionalism, dedication, and talent are truly remarkable. He treats his clients more like they are his best friends and he truly cares. I truly enjoyed our Facetime conversations before and after the wedding. I can't thank him enough for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. It was an absolute pleasure to have him as a part of our celebration, and we'll be forever grateful for the incredible memories he helped create
You will not regret hiring this guy! Plus he has an awesome name!

Matt went above and beyond what we were expecting from a DJ in our wedding. My husband and I have heard some horror stories from people in our lives who have been married and had bad experiences with their DJ, but all of our fears went away the second we met with Matt to discuss the possibility of booking him for our wedding. We could immediately tell Matt was not only going to be professional, but that he was so personable and that he was going to cater the wedding to us. He did exactly that. He was so on top of every step in the process and made sure the wedding day went smoothly on his end. The day of the wedding he did such an amazing job reading the room and making sure people were enjoying themselves. No one was bored and looking at their phones. The whole night people were dancing, interacting with each other, and having a great time. My husband and I have joked it felt like we had 2 coordinators because Matt and our coordinator worked so well together. Any little hiccup that happened (because they will happen in a wedding) felt unnoticeable to any of the guests. We have had non-stop compliments from people about Matt and how amazing he did that night. I would gladly hire Matt again in a heart beat for any event in the future.

Matt is the f*king man!!! He delivered exactly what we wanted & then some. We had so much fun at our wedding & our guests were more than impressed with his talent. He kept the party going all night long, which is truly impressive in itself since I had a sunrise wedding and we were all up at 2am that morning lol. That speaks volumes to the energy he brought. Leading up to the big day he was very responsive to any questions we had and really took the time to get to know us as people, not just clients. Matt and Sarah have truly become our friends. 12/10 recommend!!!

Outstanding, fabulous, awesome. Just a few of the descriptions our guests used to describe Matt, who served as the DJ and officiant at a recent family wedding. He made the ceremony very personal for the bride and groom. As a DJ, Matt is the BEST I've seen. His ability to engage everyone in the room throughout the ceremony, meal, toasts and all aspects of the afternoon are remarkable. He can "read" the room like no one else. Guests from teenagers to great grandparents in their 80's and 90's were on the dance floor. If you want your party guests to have a great time, Matt is THE MAN!

My husband and I found matt through the knot, I was glad he had our dates available because we were on a bit of a time crunch and everyone was booked up. when we sat down and met with him I was a bit nervous but it was like talking to an old friend. he was professional but still kind, Greg and I had no clue what we were doing but he made it so simple. whenever we had a question or needed to change something, he was right there ready to answer our question or putting his notes that we needed to change something. I have a lot of anxiety and I was not really looking forward to our wedding because I'm very socially awkward and I really didn't want toasts or a big entrance but he helped make the day feel so easy and it really helped with my nerves so that I felt comfortable enough that we could do the big entrance and have people do toasts. oh boy! and when he took out the karaoke machine I thought there is no way but it was so much fun. I had so much fun jamming with all my friends singing our favorite tunes. it was amazing. 10 out of 10 couldn't recommend more that he is one of the best. DJs we could have asked for.

We had Matt DJ our wedding reception in Sacramento and he was excellent! He’s extremely knowledgeable about all types of music, was on time, professional, great communication, very friendly, catered to all guests (ages child to senior citizen), he was welcoming to special requests. He offered a lot of suggestions and was very willing to personalize everything to our needs. We had multicultural friends and family and Matt found a lot of music in Spanish to make everyone feel comfortable. He went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a fun time. Very kind and helpful. Would definitely recommend!

Matt did an amazing job at our reception and I highly recommend him. I asked if he could play "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton for our first dance as husband and wife, and Matt said I don't know that one but I will learn it. The rendition Matt did of this song was priceless, we were so grateful that he did this for us. Matt is by far one of my favorite musicians and DJ.

My husband and I were recommended to Matt from a family friend, and upon our first meeting, I was so excited we found him. He is professional, yet personable, comes with years of experience, a great set up and equipment, and went above and beyond for my wedding. Since my wedding, I have had the honor of working with Matt in a professional setting, as a wedding planner myself, and I have gotten to watch him work from behind the scenes. Seeing his work from both sides, as a client and as a peer, I can say with full certainty that Matt is the best DJ I have worked with. I recommend him with flying colors to all of my clients and friends. He is a breeze to work with on the professional side, and he will put in hours of work and careful planning to create the best experience for all weddings and events he is a part of. He is more than just a DJ, anyone who chooses Matt for their wedding or event will not regret it.
