  A beautiful part of the wedding

  Matt was amazing to work with! He was very communicative, and gave us a clear contract to work with. As professional musicians ourselves, we wanted to incorporate music in the ceremony in a way that we wouldn't have to think about- Matt was perfect for this. He was completely professional, playing beautifully before and during the ceremony. Lots of compliments from our guests!

  As a professional flutist, it meant a lot to me that my wedding music be unique and performed beautifully, and Matt completely surpassed my expectations. Matt was responsive, helpful and easy to work with throughout the process. I was married in a Catholic Church with picky music director, but Matt was incredibly flexible with our music selections, even learning/arranging 3 pieces I requested that he hadn't played before. He sent me previews of how the music would sound, and accommodated my requests for faster/slower tempos. Matt's playing for my wedding ceremony was beautiful, and I would highly recommend him!

  Matthew was better than I was expecting! His music was excellent and everyone commented on how they enjoyed it! He responded quickly to my emails, arrived on time, and is a pleasure to work with. I look forward to using him again and can't wait to hear more of his beautiful music.

  Very talented. Great musician. Easy to work with. Knew his audience and played music the group enjoyed. Found Matthew on the Internet-no prior contact. Hiring him was a 100% positive experience. Highly recommend Matthew.

  Matthew is an outstanding musician and his gentle presence made my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception elegant, exceptional, and joy-filled. He gave us memorable moments, as the couple danced together, they shared a dance with stepdad and mom, I danced with my big brother and my husband.

  Matthew is incredibly talented and super professional. We hired him to play at our wedding ceremony & cocktail hour and we could not have asked for a better fit for our big day! Matthew was super responsive via e-mail and phone leading up to the wedding. He brought a PA & wireless mic so that we could use it for the ceremony as well which was immensely helpful!
  
  Our guests raved about him (and still are). The music was so beautiful and he has an excellent selection to choose from (classical, jazz, pop, he even plays the theme from the movie UP!)
  
  Thank you Matt for being part of our day! We cannot thank you enough!

  Matt was an intergral part of making our wedding day absolutely perfect. When I first reached out to Matt approximately a little over a year before our wedding date, I got such a prompt and professional response. Each communication from then on, whether it was e-mail or a phone call, was just as prompt and courteous. I was immediately impressed with the level of customer service I received and remained so throughout the duration of our contact. As part of the package we purchased, we got to choose two songs for him to learn. He learned them quickly and perfectly--now we can say we have unique, one-of-a-kind processional and recessional music that we've never heard at any other wedding, thanks to Matt. It goes without saying that being able to have such personalized memories means a great deal. Additionally, I got so many compliments on his high level of talent and widely varying song selection. We could not be more pleased with Matt's artistry, attention to detail, and professionalism. We would certainly hire him again (and again)!

  Matt is a very talented musician and his music set the perfect tone for our candlelit reception. He was also incredibly easy and professional to deal with. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

  Matthew performed the music for our daughter's August 2015 wedding ceremony in Newport, RI. Impressed from the first communication with him, Matthew was consistently professional, prompt in responding to inquiries and not least, patient as he waited for our final music selection. His has a broad, and no doubt growing repertoire to choose from. His artistry was the perfect compliment to a wonderful ceremony.

  We hired Matt as our wedding ceremony guitarist. He was prompt and courteous in all of his email communications. He is a very talented classically trained guitarist, but also has a nice repertoire of songs from the Beatles to Train. He was able to learn my special request for a song very quickly and sent a sample of the song. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Matt!

  My wife and I got married over this past summer and decided to go with Matthew Sowersby for our ceremony and cocktail hour music. From the very beginning he out us at ease with everything!
  
  We were able to choose a few modern songs for him to learn on his acoustic and they turned out absolutely beautiful. He delighted our guests and we couldn't have been more happy to have someone like Matt perform at our wedding.

  We hired Matt to play the music at our wedding ceremony. He was absolutely wonderful! He was prompt, attentive and could not have been better. He listened to exactly what we wanted and he delivered. I cannot recommend Matt highly enough.

  Matthew was a dream to work with. My fiance (now husband) and I knew we wanted something unique for our ceremony music. We considered a string quartet but realized that wasn't really us. Shortly after deciding we wanted a guitarist, we found Matthew. At that point, we were so busy with the other details of the wedding, and moving to a new home, we had very little left to finalize the ceremony music. Cue Matthew. He made the process in selecting the perfect music, including composing a guitar solo version of two very special songs, a breeze. Sadly, as the bride, I only heard two of the songs (processional and recessional) but our guests raved about this personal touch. Even our officiant was blown away by Matthew. She said he was the first musician to reach out to her before the ceremony (great touch!). We're so happy with our experience and would recommend Matthew to anyone looking for a thoughtful, genuine, and memorable accompaniment to their event.

  Matthew is an exceptional guitarist and consummate professional. I hired him to play the music at my wedding ceremony and received many comments about his beautiful music from family and friends. Matthew is also very easy to work with and was responsive, accessible, flexible and had great suggestions for the type of pieces to be played. I recommend him wholeheartedly!
