Rest assured you're in safe hands. Here's what some previous clients had to say.
Matt was amazing and made our day so special! We've had loads of guests tell us how good the party was — and that was all down to Matt. He really got to know us and knew exactly what sort of music and vibe we wanted, and on the day he actively looked out for both of us and talked us through everything as it was coming up. You will not be disappointed.
Matthew — Earley–Holden Wedding1000% recommend Matt. He was our evening DJ at our wedding and what a ball we had — so many guests have approached us to say what a fantastic time they had, and that's down to Matt. Communication with him beforehand was outstanding: every time I messaged him I had a response within the hour, I'm not joking. We will absolutely be using Matt for future functions!
Shannon Rigg — WeddingWe couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The music was spot-on, the transitions were seamless, and the dance floor was full.
Lee D — WeddingMatt you absolutely smashed it! After our initial phone call, we felt you got us to a tee, and the music set you delivered on our wedding day confirmed this — it exceeded all of our hopes!
Hannah Norfolk-BoothWe booked Matt for our wedding 20.05.22. Fabulous, professional service — thank you so much, love Mr & Mrs Hughes x
Ruth HughesA huge thank you — you were amazing. Everyone commented on your music choices, but also how easy you were to deal with and how you went out of your way to help other suppliers and guests too.
Nisha JervisA massive thank you — the evening reception was the best. Loads of people commented on how good it was, and it was you and the sax that made it.
