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."

"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."

"We were fortunate enough to have Matthew play at our wedding as well as my brothers 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."
