TESTIMONIALS
Jinny Hong & Paul Dolinar - May 18, 2024
"Matthew was wonderful to work with. He created a magical environment for
our wedding reception. He is so talented and kind enough to work with us on
choosing our perfect grand entrance and our first dance songs. I would highly
recommend him to others and I look forward to having an opportunity to work
with him again in the future. "
Jasmine Kara, Geography & Planning, UofT - September 29, 2023
"Matthew's performance at our department's work event was truly outstanding!
His ability to seamlessly blend new hip songs with his jazz expertise created
an electrifying atmosphere that left everyone in awe. His music added a unique
and captivating dimension to our gathering, making it a memorable experience for all.
We couldn't have asked for a more talented and versatile pianist for our event."
Vanessa Andres, Department of English, UofT - May 4, 2023
"It was a pleasure to have Matthew perform at our graduation event. His
song choices provided the perfect backdrop to our event, elevating the ambience.
We received a number of compliments from our guests.
Beyond his musical talent, it was also a pleasure to work with Matthew. He approached
our event with warmth and professionalism, arriving early with plenty of time to set up."
Chris & Megan Carlin - August 27, 2022
"We hired Matthew to perform at our outdoor wedding ceremony just north of Brockville, Ontario.
Our song requests ranged from swing to classic rock and he played them superbly.
We started our marriage on a beautiful Saturday afternoon and Matthew's playing added that perfect touch of magic.
We highly recommend."
Chris & Mary Curry - December 24, 2021
"We were fortunate enough to have Matthew play at our wedding as well as my brother's wedding in the course of a year.
Both events, Matthew was extremely professional, responsive, friendly and helpful throughout the process.
He is an extremely talented pianist and was happy to learn any songs that were important for us
and knew most of them already anyways.
If you hire Matthew too, you can be assured that your guests will be amazed. He is simply the best!
We plan to hire him in the future for any other special family occasions where we can continue to enjoy his music."
