Amazing!

Matt Hartke is an amazing guitar player. I am very happy to have met him and honored a musician of his caliber would play at my retirement party. I do hope to hire him again in the future for other events. The crowd could not stop asking how I booked him for my event. Outstanding voice. Outstanding guitar.

Cocktail Hour / First Dance

Matt played at our cocktail hour and for our first dance. While we were late to the party, (you know how weddings go), everyone gave nothing but great feedback to us about the live music during the cocktail hour. One person even recognized him from their time in college and was super excited to hear him play again. As for our first dance, everyone was blown away by his original song, Gold, which Matt so kindly played for us. He was very accommodating and professional throughout the entire process. We were very happy with and highly recommend Matt for your events!

Just Amazing!

Matt sang during our cocktail hour, and all our weddings guests said he was WONDERFUL. He played the songs from his list that I hand selected for our wedding...plus, he even learned a special song for our 1st dance. It was so beautiful -- everyone was in tears!

Beautiful voice...Great guitarist....And overall: a wonderful musician. HIGHLY recommend!!

Thank you so much Matt, you were amazing! :)

'A sound as good as the best in the business." - Brightcove -"Pitch-Perfect Unaffected Splendor!" -Motif Magazine -"Was perfect for our wedding 5 out of 5 stars!" -Matt was A-MAZING!!!!!!!!! We can't say enough good things about how talented he is! He played for our holiday party, and is 100% credited for creating an awesome ambiance with his music. He played a variety of songs and covers, all of which were loved by all. He is exceptionally talented, people were actually SAD when his time ended and he stopped playing - we could have listed to him for hours and hours! He has a clear, perfectly pitched, soothing voice, and his guitar skills are incredible. I would hire him again to play in a heartbeat, he is definitely our new go-to artist for all of our parties from here on out!" -- Review From TheBash

"Matt was amazing, everyone was talking about him all night. I would definitely hire him again! Very easy to talk to and made our ceremony so special. The amount of compliments we received and continue to receive were unreal. People actually asked if he was really singing or just THAT good, and let me tell you, HE IS THAT GOOD!! I wish he could have played the entire night!! - Review From TheBash
