June 10, 2026Matt Wong was an incredible pianist for our wedding. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond by attending practices, learning our requested music, making adjustments along the way, and participating in our rehearsal to ensure everything was perfect.
On the wedding day, Matt was punctual, professional, and exceptionally prepared. His performance was beautiful and added so much elegance and emotion to our ceremony. His talent is truly remarkable, and it was clear how much care and dedication he put into making our day special.
We are so grateful for his flexibility and commitment. If you're looking for a talented pianist who is reliable, collaborative, and genuinely invested in creating a memorable experience, we highly recommend Matt Wong. Thank you, Matt, for helping make our wedding unforgettable!

Thank you, Michael! It was a pleasure performing Billy Joel songs at your holiday event. I appreciate your helping me determine the song list ahead of time (about four weeks for me to practice and study), as well as the event being so smooth itself. -Matt

December 22, 2025I had Matt play for my dad’s birthday dinner. He showed up early and played beautifully. Made for a very memorable night. Would highly recommend booking him.

Thank you, Bijan! The performance at your private venue was exactly as I had hoped, and I am so glad that your family understood the music, as well as some of the finer details about composers like Robert Schumann, Bach, and Beethoven.

August 26, 2025Matt provided the entertainment for our volunteer appreciation brunch at a charitable organization. His music really made the event! He had a seemingly endless selection—everything from beautiful classical pieces to contemporary or jazzy songs—and he could transition between them absolutely seamlessly. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how wonderful the music was! Matt was also perfectly professional to work with. His communication was great, he showed up early, he was kind to everyone, and he performed within the schedule exactly how we needed. We could not have been happier, and highly, highly recommend him. Thank you, Matt!

Hello! I'm a Classical + Jazz pianist.
I am based in San Diego and travel up to Orange County and Temecula.
I am pleased to offer my services, and I look forward to meeting you.
As a professional musician, I am often arranging, composing, teaching, or performing.
I regularly perform as a pianist-volunteer at local hospitals.
I enjoy geeking out about music theory, but most of all I feel my job is to help create unique and memorable moments.
My background stems from private Classical training (most of childhood), followed by Jazz teachers (incl. Mark Levine), a course performance Jazz taught at UC Berkeley, and a variety of resources ranging from YouTuber, Musescore (online community).
My musical philosophy is to blend seamlessly with the environment, and to complement the venue or particular place/moment where I am performing.
I don't currently have detailed technical requirements for my shows or performances.
