My now-husband and I were so impressed with Matty and his team. In every way, Matty made the musical experience of our wedding day a true reflection of our tastes as a couple. My husband and I have eclectic musical tastes and wanted a wedding c...elebration that reflected the music we love and not just the current Top 40 (although Matty definitely had access to all of that as well). Our friends, but also our family, family friends, older relatives, etc. all loved the range of musical choices at our wedding and were impressed with both the specific song choices Matty made and how he mixed the playlist. It was very "us," which speaks to Matty’s ability to “get” his couples musically.
Matty was thoughtful and thorough, not to mention incredibly friendly and enthusiastic about working with us. When it came to getting to know us and our tastes as a couple, he had us complete a very thorough questionnaire, spoke with us via phone and email numerous times, and met with us in person. He also collaborated extensively with our wedding planner to make sure we had all of the technical equipment needed for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and to make sure our wedding day timeline all went according to plan. We had no worries leaving these responsibilities in his very capable hands and crossing it off the list of our responsibilities for wedding planning, and we’re so happy we did.
One of the things I most appreciated about Matty was how seamless he made planning the entertainment at our wedding. While Matty himself was our DJ, we wanted live musicians (a string quartet and jazz trio) for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Matty took on all of the responsibility for assembling the live musicians; the group he put together were all extremely talented (he sent us videos of the musicians along the way to make sure we were on board).
To complicate things, my husband and I wanted a specific song that has personal meaning for us for the bridal procession, which was not available as an arrangement for string quartet. Matty didn’t bat an eye about this and quickly got a member of our quartet on board to arrange the piece for strings. It still amazes me that we had a piece of music arranged specifically for us for our wedding – this was incredibly special to us. On top of this, my father is a musician, and Matty arranged for him to sit in with the jazz trio during the cocktail hour, which meant so much to my dad.
We are so grateful to Matty and so impressed with his knowledge of music, talent as a DJ, and his ability to coordinate live music. He honestly can do it all when it comes to planning the entertainment at your wedding. If that only served to make things simpler, that might not be worth it, but you are also getting an extremely talented DJ and extremely talented live musicians handpicked by him. He offers it all.
