October 26, 2013A great deal of planning went into my Opening Celebration and Matthew was an excellent choice. His contribution to the ambiance and feel of the event was amazing. He played for two hours straight and interacted flawlessly with the participants. I will keep Matthew in mind for future events and recommend him highly.
