Amazing Performance!

Matt played at our wedding reception and the next morning we had 30 messages of how awesome he was! My wife and I saw him perform at a friends wedding a few years back, DJ Vinny Vibe and knew we needed him at ours, and he did not disappoint! His performance was amazing as well as our cocktail hour. Thanks again Matt, and strongly suggest everyone to book him for any event!

Helped make our wedding special!

Saw thatviolinguy perform at a wedding expo back in 2019 and knew I had to have him for our wedding. We hired Matt Shredder to play for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and friends and family were blown away by his performance. We are beyond happy with our decision to incorporate him into our day. He made sure to check in with us before leaving and were able to take some photos with him!

Ahhhhmayzing!

Truly an artist!! We hired Matt for a dinner set at our wedding reception, and he blew everyone away! I had guests coming up to me to tell me how much they loved Matt's segment for our wedding, and how unique that was! Oh, and he also did our first dance, which was just magical!!
I even asked him to do a few pieces with arabic music, and he executed them beautifully!
Matt, thank you so much for making our first dance and wedding reception extra special!
If you're reading this and considering Matt for your event, stop and go book him now, before someone else does 😉

Best in the Business

In life sometimes amazing people come into your life and put on a show stopping performing for the ages. Matt Shredder is that man. The only reason I’ve come across Matt was because our first electric violinist accidentally double booked us. Thank god he did, because this is the only person you should hire to make your wedding day more magical than it already is. People all night long came up to me and asked me where did I find him. He’s amazing at what he does, truly gifted and just has that WOW factor. Look no further and do yourself justice for yourselves and your guest. They will talk about him for months after your wedding. He’s just that good!!! Thank you Matt for something that was so spectacular and never will be forgotten on our wedding day.
