Stella & Ben - Wedding at the Malt House, Rishworth (Wedding Sax player) 2 Oct 2025
10/10

I would 100% recommend hiring Matt for your wedding. He was extremely professional in the run up to the wedding, getting in touch to answer all our questions promptly and speaking to the venue himself to arrange logistics.
On the day, Matt made our Christmas wedding extra special and festive! He played during our drinks reception and wedding breakfast and was absolutely incredible, weaving in all our requests and putting on a wonderful show for us and our guests.
We had numerous guests (and even venue staff members) come up to us and say how wonderful he was and how much they enjoyed hearing him play. Even though he played for more than 3.5 hours in total, some people hadn't had enough and were asking us whether he'd stay for the evening!
He'll be an incredible addition to your day if you choose to book him

We couldn't have asked for anything more from you. Every single guest said just how brilliant you were.
Thank you so much for helping to make our day so perfect.
You have such an amazing talent.
Once again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I know it seems a while from the wedding but I just wanted to say a massive thank you for playing at our wedding. The set list was amazing and was absolute perfection for the vibe we were going for! We’ve had so many people comment on how fantastic you were and how it added to the day being so special. Thank you so much.

Beth & Connor (Wedding at Bagden Hall) 11 May 2023

My new husband and I can’t thank you enough for performing at our wedding yesterday. You were professional and extremely talented.
A number of my guests said you made the day (even turning up with a tie to match my colour scheme). If I have one regret it’s not booking you to play for longer.
You helped make my dream wedding a reality and for that I can’t thank you enough.
Looking forward to hearing you again for future events.
From the bottom of our hearts thank you.

Dave (Olivia & Oscar (Wedding) 29 Jan 2023
10/10

Matt played at my step daughter's wedding on Saturday, and frankly he made the day perfect. He set up outside the venue to welcome guests as they arrived to enjoy a drink in grounds, and then completely unobtrusively played background music during the meal. His choice of music was as diverse as it was appropriate; I am sure he must have played everyone's favourite tune somewhere along the way. This was proven by the last couple of songs culminating in a mass singalong with everyone joining in! He reads the mood of the room so very well and adjusts accordingly.
He got nothing but glowing compliments from all our guests and was without a doubt excellent value for money.
I urge you to consider booking Matt for your special occasion - please trust me you will NOT be disappointed.
Thank you so much Matt - you were amazing

Matt, we can’t thank you enough for playing during our drinks reception and wedding breakfast in Chipping last weekend. We knew you would be good but you were sooo much more than that – you were incredible, and you created such an amazing atmosphere! We have had so many comments on how great you were! Before booking, I had my reservations about you playing during the meal as I didn’t want the music to be overpowering. You assured me that this wouldn’t be the case and encouraged me to go for it and I am so glad you did!! It was the perfect backing for a wedding meal and everybody loved it. Thank you again.

From my perspective, it was lovely that you kept me informed and reassured without any prompting in the lead-up to the wedding, then just arrived on time, set-up and started playing. Despite coming from furthest away and having never met, you were easily the supplier I was most confident in! The music was beautiful and really set the mood through the drinks and breakfast. As I said, I got a huge number of compliments about you. Thanks again
