Matt Winter Band

d with the guests on the dance floor, which added so much fun energy to the night! We had them for our cocktail hour and our reception and our dance floor was never empty. Our guests are still talking about how awesome the band was and we keep smiling thinking about how much fun we all had. Your band search should start and end with “Matt Winter Band”, you will not regret it.

of music I liked & every song was a perfect choice! I did not pick the break music and the music played for that was all very fun & great! Every person at our wedding commented at how much fun it was & how great the band was! It was a huge hit & well worth it over a DJ.

lways kept me (the groom) and my wife in the loop throughout the night and were very patient and understanding. But most importantly they absolutely rocked the house and our guests were even asking us how we found them! Keep up everything you're doing and I wish you all the success in the future! Sincerely, Tommy and Giana White

sive and helpful in guiding us through the process of booking them! Our #1 wish for our wedding was that the dance floor be packed the whole time and they did not disappoint whatsoever. Every single guest was on the dance floor the whole night (even the elderly) and my groom and I danced to every single song. Even the song selections during the band breaks were absolute hits! Couldnt recommend this band more!

er Band. All musicians were extremely talented and were able to accommodate everything we asked for. The ceremony was beautiful, cocktail hour jamming, and reception a blast! Matt and his band were outstanding- they played great music and kept the party going all night! So much talent! All the guests commented on what an amazing job the band did and how much fun they had dancing! I would 110% recommend Matt Winter Band for your event!

oughout the process made our planning seamless and enjoyable leading up to the big day. Matt and his band are top notch professionals and kept the party going all night!! Stage presence and lighting were spot on. Make sure to book MWB and you won’t regret it!

a night we will never forget.

2 songs for our first dance which was great. Would definitely recommend him for your special day.

duo with DJ plus, and uplighting package for our outdoor wedding at the Island Way Grill on 4/28/17. As soon as we got the venue, I already had people asking me "Where did you find this guy? He is amazing!" and that was based on the cocktail hour alone. He and his band mate (Hiram, I believe) managed to keep the dance floor of my 50 person wedding packed all night long despite the hot, humid night. His live sets were awesome with mixed songs/sets allowing him to play a greater variety without "wasting" time playing songs in their entirety and the DJ sets had all the requests, even satisfying the line dancing lovers with the "Cupid Shuffle". Communication with Sarah leading up the wedding was prompt and she always fully answered my questions, something I realized is kind of rare with wedding vendors. All in all, I would gladly recommend Matt Winter Band to any couple getting married in the Tampa Bay area, no matter how big or small the wedding!

list is incredibly extensive (with so many favorites) and Matt and the band even learned our first dance song just for us and shared a recorded version with us to make sure it was perfect for our best day ever. They kept the party going and the dance floor packed the entire night. We would recommend Matt Winter Band to anyone and everyone for weddings and events in Florida and beyond. We can't wait to find an excuse to party with them again!

vous I was for the first dance, he put my mind at ease. You will love having Matt play at your wedding!!

! You don't need to search any further!

voices were phenomenal. From the moment we started making the booking arrangements to the last song we were very satisfied and thrilled we had chosen them!

e perfect mix! Matt played guitar during cocktail hour along with some DJing. He performed my father-daughter dance and it was perfect! My dad and I had such a great time. During the rest of the reception Matt DJ'd and really kept the partying going. Throughout the night I heard how great Matt was. Not only his selection of music but how fun and entertaining he was. He knows how to host a party and plays the perfect mix of music. He is amazing playing live on his guitar and it really made out outdoor cocktail hour perfect! He has a wide range of songs he can perform and brings an extensive library of songs to DJ. Choosing Matt was one of the easiest decisions as a bride! HIGHLY recommend!

ktail hour with Matt, his guitar and a sax… We could tell you how great Matt's venue uplighting package was; his great emcee skill in keeping us rolling all night; or how he setup three different mic/speaker systems to meet our needs. We could mention the perfect ambient music played during dinner or how Matt played just the right DJ music during several quick breaks... But none of that adequately explains how lucky we feel to have had MWB as part of our wedding on 12/4/15. Their music and sound speak for themselves, but Matt and his wife Sarah are two of the most genuine and best people you'll ever work with. Period. Their passion is to serve you in any way possible to help make your day special. They are tremendously positive people and focus on all the oh-so-important little details while bringing a deep and personal appreciation for what a wedding day means! While reviewing all details of our service/reception with Matt, he was quick to make great suggestions for sound, lighting and venue setup, to help compliment and interact with photographers, officiant, toasters, etc… He was thinking about the entire event more than our actual wedding planner! Planning a wedding can be stressful, but every time we spoke to Matt and Sarah, we left refreshed, energized and excited for our day. They're so much more than just a wedding "band" or "vendor" and continually went out of their way with communication and in making sure we knew to call/text/email them if we had anything at all on our mind to discuss... anytime. Our guests are still talking about MWB how amazing they were. Matt promised us that they'd do their part to make the day special for us... and they definitely exceeded that promise! We cannot recommend them highly enough!

ecommend!

y took a break. Matt and his crew sounded great and he definitely knows how to entertain a crowd! He did great at emceeing the wedding as well keeping everything flowing. A True professional! We were very disappointed at the food at our wedding, but Matt Saved the day by still helping us throw a great party. I wish we were having another party soon, so we could rehire them :) THANK YOU MATT!!!!!

l into the night, even with a Sunday wedding. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception, the Matt Winter Band was everything we could have asked for and more!

n on the dance floor!!

eremony on the beach took place and he was so wonderful and warm! He then arranged for steel drums to play during the outdoor cocktail hour and then had a six piece band play during the reception. It was so beautiful and tropical for all our out of town guests. He was very organized with the reception and kept everything on time. His music is out of this world and the dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night. He is truly an entertainer and knows how to get the crowd going. His wife Sarah was amazing and efficient with responses and dealing with all the people that needed to be included. The band made the wedding and people almost a year later are still talking about it. I was planning from far away in Maryland, I had no worries or stress with this band. Don't be tempted to go elsewhere or bother to take the time to interview, this band is the Best and absolutely amazing!

about the music at our wedding!

tter what type of music you want to hear Matt can do it and do it extremely well. Our guests are still talking about the band 6 months later. If you're looking for a stress free band to work with, with a great attitude about everything, and great price hire Matt Winter Band. We may hire them for a boring Saturday night sometime just because we like them that much :)

id an awesome job at directing the course of the evening and keeping everyone entertained. His live songs for our special dances were absolutely perfect and then as the evening went on he turned up the beat and played some great dance songs to keep the guests moving. On top of that he was incredibly friendly and made a point to introduce himself to both of us and make sure we were happy with everything. We are so pleased with the Matt Winter Band and definitely recommend him to anyone looking for top quality party entertainment!!

ay your wedding, look no further. Superstar!!!

g the night away to a variety of hit songs played by the 6 piece band. The reception room also looked so magical and beautiful with the uplighting and decor set up by them! We cannot thank Matt & Sarah enough for making everything go so smoothly, for being incredibly generous, having a huge song selection list and be willing to learn new songs. Highly recommended!!!!! We promise you will be happy and have memories to last forever when selecting Matt Winter. ~Melissa & Cameron Hill.

would use them again for an event in a heart beat!! Matt Winter Band is the BEST!!

made finding a band very challenging. One night, we stumbled across Matt Winter on YouTube, and after listening to all his videos, we decided we had to have him play at our wedding! Throughout the planning process, we worked with Matt's wife, Sarah, who is very sweet and well-organized. She responded quickly to my numerous questions and made sure the band had all the correct information, including a song list, for the wedding. On the day of the wedding, Matt worked with my planner seamlessly. In fact, my planner said Matt went "above and beyond" and was an absolutely joy to work with. I think that speaks volumes about Matt's professionalism and expertise as an entertainer. When it came to the music, the Matt Winter Band has an extensive song list, with pretty much every classic and modern song we could think of wanting. There were a couple of rare Irish songs I wanted to play that he didn't have, and Matt purchased them off iTunes-- so thoughtful! Throughout the night, Matt and his band read the crowd really well, playing songs that kept us out on the dance floor for hours! It's a few weeks after our wedding, and we're still getting compliments on the Matt Winter Band, so if you're on the fence, just go ahead and book them. You won't regret it!

our wedding to the day of he was professional, sweet and easy to talk to. He sent us demo tracks of songs when we were trying to decide which to choose for our first dance etc. His wife Sarah was amazing and always promptly answered my emails. We live in Michigan so all of our interactions were via phone or email and I couldn't be more happy and impressed. Matt is so awesome and such a talented singer. Our guests and our kids danced the night away with us and he sang all of their requests "more than once ". Thanks again Matt for making our day as perfect as it was (even with the last minute venue change) we couldn't have asked for a better or memorable day. Peter and Jodi May 16, 2018

d was at our wedding. Matt kept the party going and the energy alive. All of the band members were so talented. Sarah also offered many add ons to make our day all the more special. They offered up lighting, draping, a dance floor, and even a custom gobo light to add a personalized touch to our decor! MWB also provided our ceremony and cocktail music. Choosing MWB was hands down the easiest decision for us!

helpful. It was easy to work out with her exactly what we wanted (small band but still a rich sound), what kind of music we liked, and what services they offered. We went with a three-person band for the reception only and it was fantastic. They played a variety of music and really tailored their selections to our interests. They also helped us with a fun entrance we wanted to do, and the first-dance, father-daughter, and mother-son renditions of the songs we picked were astoundingly good. Matt is extremely nice and helpful, and really made his performance feel personal to our wedding. Some of our guests actually thought that he was a friend of ours because he was so engaged with the guests and music! The other band members were equally as talented and were just genuinely nice people. I would easily recommend Matt Winter Band to anyone looking for live music for their event. You will not be disappointed by these fun, professional folks.

h zero problems. We had even submitted our song choices a bit later than we should have and they accommodated our requests perfectly. Matt Winter performed and played music that fit the style of our wedding and kept the guest entertained and on their feet all night. We couldn’t be more happy and thankful with our choice.

h my dad so he could surprise us with songs as a gift, and even the saxophonist came into the crowd with our glow sticks which is just a fun memory! During the whole wedding process Matt and Sarah ensured everything we wanted happened. They did a ton of extra touches behind the scenes to help that even as the bride I didn’t know about until after the fact. Our wedding was also just days after they welcomed a newborn baby. I was so honored to have them play at our wedding and already have friends asking about their contact information for their future weddings!

e was dancing! Sarah is also great to work with she super responsive to emails and extremely thorough and helpful with any questions you may have. We didn’t even see Matt in person before we booked him because we’ve heard nothing but great things & we were definitely not let down one bit! My MOH came up with a custom rap to the Fresh Prince Theme song & MWB was on top of it! Thank you so much for making our wedding a complete blast!

dding was honestly amazing and so nice to my family. We had two other musicians join Matt for a trio during the reception and they were awesome!! I cannot recommend this band enough!! Book them now, you won’t regret it!! Thank you for making our wedding day magical!!

I even made a few last minute song requests and he carried through. Our guests were out on the floor dancing the entire night! Matt helped make our wedding the best night of our lives! The music at our ceremony was beautiful! He set the perfect mood for when I walked down the aisle. I would recommend Matt to any of my friends getting married. Thank you Matt and Sarah!

eos alone. I need to preface this by saying that my husband is a music junkie. He has incredible taste and appreciates so many styles of music, and this was the one part of planning the wedding that he was very passionate about. He could not have done a better job with choosing Matt Winter Band. Our guests still cannot stop talking about how incredible the band was at our wedding. They transitioned so smoothly from cocktail hour music to dinner music to dancing music for people of all ages. Everyone kept saying that this was the most they had ever danced at a wedding. Matt truly made our reception the party we envisioned it being. He kept the order of events flowing from the introductions to speeches to cake cutting and exit. On the day of the wedding, after the ceremony, we were just able to enjoy the night without worrying about anything. Guests were also surprised because the band is so talented and then they also DJ’ed some of the songs later in the evening. It was the perfect combination of a band and a DJ, and not something I think a lot of musicians are capable of. Hiring Matt Winter Band was one of the best choices we made for our reception!

would HIGHLY recommend them for any wedding or event!

how and created the absolute perfect soundtrack for the most important day of our lives. We knew that music was going to be an important piece to our wedding and wanted to make sure that we chose someone that could represent us well, and they did. All of our guests, and I mean ALL of them, complimented us on the band. No DJ in the business could have put on the show that Matt and Hiram did, and no other band could even come close to the sheer perfection that they displayed when choosing song selections. They played the perfect songs at the exact perfect time. Of all the vendor selections I had to make when planning our wedding, Matt Winter Band was absolutely one of the best. As a bride, one of the best things a vendor can give you is peace of mind that everything will run smoothly and that is exactly what we got. From the moment we reached out, Sarah was quick to respond, beyond helpful, understanding and accommodating. This is a powerhouse team, one that I’m thrilled to have been blessed enough to experience!

They played a great range of music with their own style added to it. They incorporated our names into a song which made it very special to us. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any wedding of any size. We had a 100 guests. Barna/Fallon Wedding.

Tangerine to play me down the aisle! Our bridal party was a pretty international crowd and he pronounced everyone's name perfectly. They were all impressed. I was asked several times where I found him and I am so grateful I did.
