Hired Matt for my Christmas party and he was excellent! He entertained my crowd as he played his guitar and sang. My crowd ranged from 5 years old to 70. There was a mix of dance music, Christmas carols, oldies, contemporary etc. His personality is awesome and I will definitely hire him again.
- Olga D, Massapequa Park, NY 12/21/2019
EVERYONE LOVED YOUR PERFORMANCE! ;)
- Michelle & Jay, 50th Birthday @ Long Island Yacht Club, Babylon, NY 11/30/2019
Matthew recently played at our wedding shower and the whole party was raving about him the entire time. The songs he played were ideal for the occasion and he even played all of our personal requests! In addition to sounding great and being an extremely talented musician, Matthew was a true professional. He was extremely kind and a pleasure to be around. He played for over 5 hours and he kept up the energy the entire time. He greeted all of our guests and introduced himself to everyone as soon as he arrived. The next time we have a party that needs music, Matthew will be the first person I call. Thanks Matthew!
- Nicholas, New Providence, NJ 07/06/2019 (105 degree hottest day of the year, day after an all night marathon gig!!)
A must to hire!!!! Matthew was amazing. Super talented, great stage presence. Came early to setup. Dressed impeccable and holds himself with class!! He is very easy to communicated with through the process!! Very reliable, and feels the crowd to see the music that should be sung. He made my husbands birthday perfection and exactly what we were looking for!! So happy we chose Matthew! - Melissa C. Dix Hills, NY 6/29/2019
You were awesome! Everyone was very impressed. Even my grandmother is still raving about you!
Happy Holidays to you! - Colleen & Steve, Seaford, NY 12/08/2018
My wife and I had gotten married out-of-state, so we put together a semi-formal, catered party at a local restaurant/bar for our friends and family. From our initial contact to the day of our party, communication with Matthew was super easy; he was also super accommodating, letting me know I could e-mail, text, and/or call him at anytime. On the day of event, MC was professional from start to finish and over-delivered and exceeded every expectation we had for him. MC's performance and personality set the perfect tone and balance for our party. Many of our guest have stated that his performance was the highlight of the event. Thanks again Matthew!!! -Matt and Amanda D - Matthew & Amanda D, Amityville, NY 03/10/2018
Matthew is a seasoned professional and an excellent musician. But more importantly he is kind, prompt and conscientious of his hosts and their guests. Matt is eager to please and he can play anything-he happily accepted special requests and absolutely charmed and wowed our guests!!!! We look forward to being entertained by him at more parties in the future. Thank you Matt for gifting us a beautiful evening with your talents!
- David & Blair, Hicksville, NY 07/22/17

Matthew was reliable, nice and we really enjoyed his music. I would hire him anytime I had a party.
- Linda & Scott Great Neck, NY 04/29/17
-----------------------------------------------------
We did a lot of research to find the perfect performer for our wedding. We spoke with several people, phone calls, searched far and wide locally & online. Matthew was the perfect fit. His talent was clearly superior than anything else we found. Looking at his sample videos you can see his heart swells into his performances. He offered to learn every song we asked for - and was always available for our questions up until the big day. Throughout our communications, he was/ still is charismatic and friendly and me made great suggestions. He's a seasoned professional that gets to know you on a personal level and caters to who you truly are. On the day of our wedding Matt contacted me in the morning with enthusiasm. We got married in the morning and he was playing his guitar before I got to the venue (And im the groom!). Being the groom I was early and nervous, Matthew played a few rock songs on his guitar to help my nerves and get me excited. It was the personal I needed. I made a true friend that day. We asked Matthew to perform acoustically for our wedding party as they came to the alter. A specific song for the groom, the wedding party and the bride. It was more special than just pressing play on an ipod. One of a kind performance. He continued to play during our cocktail hour where he used electric guitar. He danced with my 5 year old neice and kept her smiling. He stayed late to make sure we were happy and took requests from me on the fly. Matthew over achieved for my wedding. Almost ever guest had something to say about his performance. We hired a DJ for the second half of wedding but we regret it. It would have been more memorable to have Matthew play the entire time. My best advice - Let Matthew be himself and give him the space to do his thing and he will hit a home run for your event. My family is still talking about him. We're lucky to have had him and can't wait to hire him again. Don't miss your chance.
- Mel & John S, West Sayville, NY 04/30/16

I can't say enough about Matthew Cutillo. He went above and beyond my expectations. He really knew how to get the party started and at the end of the night everyone enjoyed dancing the night away. I would highly recommend Matthew for any event. His talent dedication and professionalism made the party a huge success. We all just loved him !!
- Sandy & Jillian A, Farmingdale, NY 05/14/16
--------------------------------------------------------
My husband and I got married on 8/20/15. We hired a one man band to play during our extended cocktail hour as well as our ceremony. Last minute that guy backed out leaving us freaking out a week before the wedding. I went on Gig Salad and wrote how desperate we were for someone to help us. Matt was the first person who called us as well as the one person we had our eye on. He was absolutely amazing!!! He played everything we wanted and even learned new songs that we requested a couple days before the wedding. Matt is extremely talented and anyone would be lucky to have him play during your event. My entire wedding wouldn't stop talking about how amazing he was. No one wanted him to stop playing. Thank you Matt!!!!
- Nicole & Matt, 08/20/15
-------------------------------------------------------
We absolutely enjoyed having Matthew perform here last night! He was even better than the site said! We highly recommend him for any event!
- Pat H, Devon Yacht Club, Amagansett, NY 09/03/15

Matt performed at my husband's 50th Birthday party. Matt made the preparation for the party very easy by allowing me to choose the songs from a list. He was always easy to reach and extremely respectful and accommodating. He is a wonderful performer and made the night extra special. He even learned a song that is one of my husband's favorites.
- Tina M, NY
--------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was enthusiastic and professional from the first correspondence we had over email. Right away I felt at ease that he was going to bring the party to life. Everyone complimented on his talent and energy, and wondered where I found him. Matthew was accommodating taking last minute request and making sure everyone was having a great time. I highly recommend Matthew Cutillo for any event. His music selection is lengthy and will not disappoint. Thanks Matt!
- Jessica H
-------------------------------------------------------
I very highly recommend Matt. Needed a quick turnaround on an engagement proposal gig. Matt picked up songs amazingly quickly, was the highest quality performer, and was incredibly responsive to my needs. Incredibly personable to top it off. Very glad and appreciative I worked with Matt and would easily would rehire for future projects.
- Tony W, Knave at Le Parker Meridien, NYC

Matthew was an amazing and priceless part of our party! Professional and delightful from beginning to end. He arrived early, played beautifully, made guests of all ages sing and dance, even walked around to tables and asked if there was something they would like to hear. I would hire Mathew for any and every party I ever plan....I would hire Matt to play while I eat breakfast!!! :)
- Wendy & Alex L, Farmingdale, NY 3/3/15

---------------------------------------------------------
Matt was terrific, and was extremely instrumental in helping me pull off a perfect proposal! He was extremely helpful and responsive during the planning process. His performance of our song during the proposal was amazing, despite the fact that it was a song that he had never performed before. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking to hire a guitarist for an event.
- Ngowari H, Surprise Proposal, NYC, NY 11/15/14
---------------------------------------------------------
What more can I say that hasn't already been said about Matt. He's truly one of a kind! Beyond being a supremely talented artist, he's an equally great person. I knew from our first phone call he was what I was hoping to find. So sincere & personally vested and really listens to the client. He nailed everything for my secret proposal. Great open communication, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing that day. He handled everything like the true pro he is. You'll be looking for an excuse to throw another party just to have Matt there! Thank you yet again for everything Matthew!
- Rui B High Line, NYC 10/25/14
---------------------------------------------------------
Bravo! Matt did a tremendous job, and I recommend his services without hesitation. Professional through every stage of the process, Matt delivered a performance perfectly tailored to our needs. In fact, Matt's entertainment was the key to turning my event into a party. Matt is very personable and engaging, and he simply put on a great show. Our guests loved his music and the fact that he could handle easily all of their requests. Nice job Matt!

---------------------------------------------------------
Matt was incredible! He learned my wife's favorite song in less then 2 weeks and performed it in an amazing way. He got all our guests super excited and played the perfect music. His performance, professionalism and overall experience of working with him was a pleasure. I would recommend him to anyone and use him again in a heartbeat.
- Ahmad S, Water Mill, NY 09/13/14
----------------------------------------------------------
When we began planning our wedding, we were seeking something unique and special over the regular bands and DJs most people hire. Immediately Matthew Cutillo was our first and only choice. Matthew played all day long, from the pre-ceremony music, the bridal processional, cocktail hour & the entire reception. He arrived early to set up at our out-of-the box venue, dressed professionally, & appropriate for a beach wedding. Our guests are still raving about how talented and fun he is, and he helped us create the magical and different wedding we were dreaming of. He even learned a few new songs I requested just a few days prior to the event! I highly recommend Matthew!
- Ali & Jim G, Tiana Beach Activity Center, Hampton Bays, NY 09/06/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Matt did an outstanding job and was very focused on all the details we covered prior to the wedding. I would highly recommend Matt.
- Jim M, Snapper Inn, Oakdale, NY 08/16/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly responsive and really helped work with me to put together an amazing cocktail hour for my wedding. I am so glad I decided to use Matthew for the cocktail hour, as all my guests raved over him. He was supposed to play for an hour, but due to guests showing up early, he started playing earlier! Everyone could not stop talking about how great he was. I can't say enough nice things about him, and I hope my 3 younger siblings will be able to use him for their weddings. - Mary L, Old Field Club, East Setauket, NY 08/16/14
----------------------------------------------------------
We couldn't have been happier with Matthew as the choice to play our wedding. Not only was his pricing very reasonable, but he drove up to Portland, ME from NY, played for 6 hours straight with no break (literally, no break), and absolutely wowed our attendees. Everyone was so impressed not just with his musical ability, but with the wide range of music he played that met everyone's taste. Our teenage cousins loved him, our middle-aged parents loved him, our 80+ year-old grandparents loved him, even our vendors loved him. Super professional from start to finish, and an absolute joy to have at out wedding. We couldn't have made a better choice in musician. - Eric D, The Inn on Peaks Island, ME 07/27/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Just like all his other reviews he was great. He was there early and stayed later then he had to. He played 5 hours straight without taking a break. He's probably one of the nicest guys you'll meet and very talented. He takes his job very serious. Everyone at the party loved him and he was a big hit.
- Brian V, Port Jeff Station, NY 07/20/14
----------------------------------------------------------
WOW!!!!! Matthew Cutillo is the ultimate performer. Amazing guitarist and singer. He made the event so much more. it was fun, exciting, uplifting and the most of all memorable. I would hire him back again in a heart beat.
- Joann B Piccolo's, Bellmore, NY 06/26/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Matt did a really great job. I needed a guitarist for a memorial service and a party/celebration following the service, and I had a week to do it. Matt was very professional and worked very hard to accommodate my requests, learning a new song for the service. At the party he set the perfect mood and several guests commented on how great he was. Good job! Timothy D, NYC 07/08/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew's performance at our wedding on 6/29/14 was absolutely perfect! He was extremely accommodating in the planning process, learning new songs for us and responding quickly to any questions we had. He showed up early, did a fantastic job for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception - changing up the style as necessary. His interaction with us and our guests was great. Matthew is extremely professional and a really really nice guy. He is versatile enough for any event, we highly recommend him!

One word to describe Matthew "AMAZING." He played at our son's baptism party and he was so professional, kind, passionate, professional, and a wonderful musician!! Everyone was coming up to me and my husband to tell us how much they loved Matthew and would love to use him for their future events. It was truly an honor to have him at our sons christening. It made the party that much more special. I will def be having Matthew play at our next event. Thank you Matthew for exceeding our expectations. Stephanie P, Brookville Country Club, NY 06/07/14

I hired Matthew to play at my dad's 60th birthday brunch with 60 people. Matthew was EXTREMELY professional to deal with, a very pleasant person to talk to. He arrived on time to the party, and was ready to go in just minutes. He played for the ENTIRE 3 hours, only stopping for a brief moment to go around the room and ask for special requests. Matthew made sure my dad was happy and hearing music that he liked. Matthew played at the very perfect volume!! We were able to hold conversations nicely while enjoying the music. He couldn't have been any more PERFECT. We would absolutely use him again for our events. My entire family was SO, SO, SO happy with his performance.
- Cheryl B, Surf & Sun, Atlantic Beach West, NY

Matt was a great addition to our event! If I could give him 6 stars I would. He genuinely cares about your event! His music and personality are great. All my guests were very impressed and a few asked for cards! Thanks Matt for making my wife's 40th so special!
- Dennis B, Old Saybrook Inn, CT 05/09/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was a big hit at my surprise 50th birthday party! Not only is he a talented musician; he impressed me and my guests by the care he took making sure he was playing songs I wanted him to play. He even went around asking guests what they wanted to hear or thought I would like to hear as well. He really made my party special. I highly recommend Matthew for anyone looking for a guitar player. He is extremely professional and an excellent musician.
- Gary R, Roslyn Heights, NY 05/09/14

Matthew was excellent! Even in the midst of bad weather and traffic in DC, he still arrived in a timely manner and began playing upon minutes of arrival. He performed all of the songs we requested beautifully at the cocktail reception. I would definitely recommend Matthew for all of your acoustic guitar needs. Thanks, Matthew!
- Dorian E, Peet's Coffee Grand Opening, Washington, DC 04/30/14

Working with Matthew was a real pleasure. We hired him to accompany a song during a funeral service and he was a consummate professional. It's obvious from his dedication, sensitivity and work ethic that he has a true passion for his craft. He is a good man with a good soul and a tremendous gift. We are incredibly grateful that he was a part of the day.
- Christopher W, Memorial Service, Bayville, NY 04/05/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew performed brilliantly at our wedding March 8. We'd read the reviews on Gigmasters, reviewed his song list and asked for a bid. We never dreamed we'd be so fortunate as to find the perfect artist. We wholeheartedly endorse him for his musical talents, and for responsiveness before the wedding as well. Matthew really cares about your event, passionately, with a lot of pride and serious intention to fulfill his commitment of excellence. We are humbled to have made him our choice for our special day. Our only regret is that we don't have another occasion coming up to have Matthew perform. We were, and out guests were, blown away!
- Jeff and Marie-Josephine, Hotel DuPont, Wilmington, DE 03/08/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Can't wait to have him back! What a pleasure....can't say enough good things about him....he made the night so much fun, I think because it seems that he truly enjoys what he does...and he does it well! Not only is he a great entertainer/musician....I don't know if there's a nicer guy around!

After an exhausting search for a live entertainer for the reception and cocktail hour at our wedding my wife and i had the pleasure of meeting Matt Cutillo. We were immediately impressed by his musical talent, professionalism and personality. Although we took a day to think it over we knew minutes after meeting Matt that he would be the perfect choice for us. On our wedding day he arrived promplty, was ready to go before the guests arrived and provided us and our guests with an amazing afternoon. I am not exaggerating when i say that Matt helped make my wedding one of the most pleasant and enjoyable days of my life. I recommend Matt without hesitation. AWESOME!
- Matt P, Wedding Ceremony & Cocktail Hour, Miller Beach Surf Club, NY 10/6/13
---------------------------------------------------------------
As always Matt doesn't disappoint. I've hosted a holiday party for many years and for the past 6 or 7 I have hired Matt to provide live musical entertainment. Returning guests ask me ahead of time if Matt will be playing and are always excited to find that to be the case. Matt adjusts his style, volume and song selection to fit the mood of the party as the evening progesses. On top of that he adeptly engaged the guests and solicited requests... one of which included allowing a guest to sing. He is a consumate professional and braved blizzard conditions to ensure he was on time for the party. Looking forward to seeing you again next year Matt.
- Chris B, Englewood Cliffs, NJ 12/14/13

Matt crushes it....again So we hire Matt for the 4th time, to play for family & friends after my daughter's baptism in NYC....mind you this gig started at 11AM. By 12:15pm Matt had kids from 3yrs to 80 yrs old goin nuts- the mimosa's & bloody's were out in force & what was going to be a chill after-party turned into a raucous free-for all. Matt played til 3pm & everyone who hadnt heard him at earlier family parties was asking me how we found him. He is a superb talent who always goes the extra mile- he can play ANYTHING, & most importantly he has the best attitude of any entertainer I've dealt with.
- Sean P, Rosie O'Grady's, NYC 12/7/13
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew played for our family on the 2nd day of an extended Thanksgiving under a tent. He was amazing. Everyone commented on the quality of his performance and his voice. And there were so many pictures snapping and videos being taken, as he hit on everyone's favorite songs. He did a fabulous rendition of Darius Rucker's Wagon Wheel, which is my niece Ciara's favorite. Ciara was dancing and everyone was smiling. And he spent 2 weeks learning the Fields of Athenry (a special Irish tune), which made me tear up. Matt is a class act and we would definitely, DEFINITELY, definitely hire him again. And what was supposed to be a 2 hour gig somehow turned into 4. :)
- Tanya H, Whitestone, NY, 11/29/13
--------------------------------------------------
It's not often that I read (or trust) so many 5 star reviews for anything. But believe the truth behind all of these! Matthew was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning. A true gnetlemen. Our (often hard-to-please) guests were impressed with his talent, demeanor and selection of music and many have already followed up to ask how we found him and how they can get in touch for future events. My husband and I were very behind schedule in out music selections but Matthew learned a potential first dance song in a matter of hours! Incredible! I highly recommend him for any event. You will not be disappointed.
- Kimberly S, Full 7.5 hour Wedding, Paramus, NJ 11/24/13
-------------------------------------------------
Matthew went above and beyond. A true professional and talented artist. Whether he's playing just one song or for 3 hours - the dedication is evident. It's incredible how reliable he was through the whole process. It was an amazing night that we'll always remember and Matthew was an instrumental part of the proposal. He nailed it. I would highly recommend him for any event!

To put it simply, Matt was amazing at our event last night. Not only was he talented and professional, he was also extremely engaging and warm with all of our guests. Multiple people in attendace complimented our staff in our entertainment choice due to his excellent performance. Matt helped to make our already special evening that much more special by being able to read our guests and deliver just what they would enjoy. I highly recommend Matt for any kind of event, because I know no matter what kind of day or evening you have in mind, Matt will make it just that much better. Thank you Matt, we are so grateful for your help and we hope to work together again SOON!

How would we describe Matt in one word ? AMAZING! Matt performed for our wedding and he went above and beyond! His personality, voice, and charm all blended perfectly together. Matt got to our wedding 90 minutes early to set up and performed through out our wedding. All of our guests enjoyed his stylish singing, especially all of the children. They were non stop dancing. Thank you so much Matt, for making our special day more special.... And that was because of you.?????? Your new buds,

Matt exceeded my expections in satisfaction. Since the moment I spoke to Matt to arrange my event, he handled himself with utmost professionalism. He put my nerves at ease and assured me the entertainment for the event will be a wonderful experienced for all. He delivered an outstanding performance. His selection of music was soft and soothing.

Matt blew us away again!We had the privilege of having Matt entertain us last year for my daughter's communion.Matt played an incredible selection of acoustic songs that were perfect for the venue. Fast fwd a year later-Matt's totally up'd his game!He still brings the ability to play a range of acoustic songs,but adds the ability to play w/ a full band,complete with backing vocals.He goes above and beyond to make sure every aspect of his performance is perfect.Matt played an incredible range of songs from the Peppers to Johnny Cash to Earth,Wind & Fire.He had us all dancing & singing,enjoying every moment. It's w/o question a must to have Matt play your next event!
- Kevin H, Seaford, NY 09/28/13
------------------------------------------------
Matthew performed a 2-hour set of guitar and vocals for a small birthday party in Manhattan. Arriving on time wearing a nice grey suit and tie, he began playing instrumental classical music on his 12-string guitar. Then as the night progressed, he adapted to the guests' mood performing vocal / acoustic guitar sing-a-longs. He also worked in some backing tracks which filled out the sound and got the guests dancing. From then on he took requests for the rest of the evening as the guests danced, sang, and laughed. Leading up to the event Matthew was always quick to reply to emails, and easy to deal with. Highly recommended and my first call for future events.
- Nat B, River House, NYC, 09/26/13
-------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was a pleasure to communicate with while arranging our party. On the day of the party he arrived early with a big smile on his face and we immediately knew we were going to have a great night. Not only is Matthew extraordinarily talented, he also has a wonderful personality. Our backyard party was just a casual gathering of friends, but having Matthew perform elevated it to a night we will all remember! The music was outstanding! I would not hesitate to use Matthew again, and will highly recommend him to anyone! (Ps he even went the extra mile and learned my favorite song!)
- Sharon S, Bergenfield, NJ 09/07/13
---------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was amazing! From the moment I requested a quote, he's been the most accommodating and attentive person throughout my whole wedding process. Though I'm a very laid back person about planning, he was very diligent, precise, enthusiastic and he was very intent on getting back to any question or concern I had within moments. The first time I ever contacted him, he treated me as though I'd been a long time friend whom he couldn't wait to see and play music for! He went above and beyond to play my favorite songs, and everyone who attended the wedding commented on the amazing job he did. I would recommend him in a heart beat. Thank you Matthew!

My wife and I have known Matt since his years at Göttingen University in Germany. Now that we have a son who really loves music we thought of having Matt in concert for his 10th birthday. As we live in Estonia, Matt gave the concert via Skype. We're proud to be the first people Matt performed for over the Internet. Video and audio were crisp and clear. Matt played all our son's favorites and the whole crowd at our place had a real good time. Musically, Matt is a genius. Add his humor and flexibility, and you have a great gig. If you live too far away to have him in person, having him via Skype is the next best thing. Thank you for making our son's birthday special!

Matthew made my 40th birthday bash really wonderful!! He was very entertaining and accommodating. This is the second time we hired Matthew. I highly recommend him. He is an extremely talented musician and a very nice person! Matthew try's his hardest to please everyone! He is also very dependable.

Matthew is an amazing talent ! He plays beautifully, sings beautifully and is a beautiful person inside and out! He somehow makes you feel like you've known him for a long time even though you just met him. He is professional and well spoken. Matthew made our party a success! Everyone kept asking us where we found him and many of our guests asked for his business card. A true talent!!! We are going to hire him for our daughters wedding, so she can walk down the isle to the sweet sounds of Matthew's guitar. Thank you Matthew!

This is the 2nd time we have used Matt for a very important day in our lives. First, it was our wedding and now our daughter's 1st birthday party. We have been blown away both times. First of all, Matt was in a minor car accident on his way to the birthday party and still showed up on time and ready to rock. That just shows how much dedication Matt has to his clients. Everyone at the party loved Matt's music and we have received many compliments on our decision to use him for the party. We can't wait to have Matt play at our next big function. He is the best out there and you won't be disappointed!
- Brian L, Cinnaminson, NJ, 07/20/13
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is the second year in a row we had Matt come to our home for a summer party, & once again he was incredible. From playing 50's tunes for the older folks to top 10 hits & everything in between, Matt is a unique talent who connects with his audiences in a very personal way. He'll continue to be the only live musician we call when we entertain family & friends...
- Sean P, Mattituck, NY 07/27/13

Matt was a true gentleman and showed great care and concern for my event. His music was perfect for my occasion. I would recommend Matt to anyone and plan on using him for any future events I may have.

We had originally planned on hiring Matthew to play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour but after meeting with him we felt he would be perfect to play the entire wedding. Our friends and family thought it was a very risky move but we felt Matthew fit perfectly with our beach wedding vibe. From beginning to end he brought professionalism to a whole new level. At the wedding we got compliments on his performance from too many guests to remember and he created an atmosphere we had dreamed of but never imagined possible. He truly comes with our highest recommendation, so much so that we've decided to write this from our honeymoon on the beach in Bermuda.
- Joanna E, Bayville, NY 07/18/13

Matthew Cutillo was Awesome!!!! The most professional and talented entertainer anyone could ask for! His music made our event and I highly recommend Matthew Cutillo!!

And neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, will keep Matt from playing his gig!!!!!!!!! it was a rainy day as Matt was setting up - he sound checked to Here Comes the Sun and out it came for a while. It rained...Matt played on... reset up inside and played on...sun came back out.. he reset up and played on...a lesser professional would have called it quits. Matt played with passion and perseverance. Played a nice blend of kids' songs and music for the big kids. Had a few requests, in different vernaculars, that were discussed previously with Matt, he nailed them. would I hire him again...I JUST DID!!! Cant wait to see you soon.
- Jason H, Massapequa, NY 07/13/13
--------------------------------------------------------------
Our experience was wonderful. Matt was a true professional during the entire process. We had a few discussions leading up to the event to make sure we had all his needs met for set-up, location etc. and he arrived early to make sure all would go smoothly. He created the perfect vibe for our daughter's college graduation party. Many guests (young and not so young) commented how talented a performer Matt was and how they enjoyed relaxing, listening and watching Matt, as if they were at a concert! We look forward to when we can invite Matt back to our home for another gathering of family and friends. Having Matt at our home created a lasting memory for all!
- Bob S, N Massapequa, NY 07/06/13

Matthew played during our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, and did a wonderful job!!

I would highly recommend Matthew for any event/party!
- Lauren M, Hauppauge, NY 06/29/13

Matt was a huge hit. He can play in any venue and any type of music. He had no problem with special requests. We asked that he play to the age group in the audience which he certainly did. And the group ranged from 25-65 years old. His talent is exceptional, He is sophisticated, warm, and he never overpowered the room. And never stopped singing! He clearly loves what he is doing. Matt was more than accommodating. There was a transportation problem which he dealt with. We look forward to his return at our Club and highly recommend him.
- Suzie D, Point O Woods, Fire Island, NY 06/28/13

Matt was professional as always. He was on time and prepared. The guests and our neighboring stores were impressed with his performance. Matt took requests from some of our guests also. His sound was very laid back, cool, and relaxing. Since the last time he was here he had some new material and background music also. It was a very pleasurable experience and we would not hesitate to use Matt again.

"Matt is a true professional. From the planning stage until the last song, he was focused on pleasing my guests at the party.He is talented, versatile and sounds better live than on his on-line demos. I would recommend Matt without reservation and my guests were wowed. He produces a full rich sound and has an amazing repertoire of music. Most importantly, Matt is kind and grounded. He arrived early and frequently checked in to make sure that he was performing to our satisfaction. Matt deserves his ranking as #1 in this category. This review is my way of showing my appreciation. Thanks Matthew."

--------------------------------------------------------------
"This guy is a pro. The whole thing could not have been better. He managed special requests without a hitch, arrived early, dressed properly, and was prepared for every possibility. His range is just incredible; he did some classical stuff for us during the cocktail hour and all the singer-songwriter stuff we love for the dinner. Dozens of our guests asked for his name. Complete professionalism throughout and undeniable talent. My advice to you is to stop reading this now and book him before someone else does first."

Matt played my 40th bday at my house last month. Many reviews mention similar accolades. I can pull my thesaurus and be creative , but the words "talented"' , "professional", "accommodating" and above all, caring, are spot on. My guests were all thoroughly impressed and had a great time interacting with Matt. All the best to you Matt, and we will definitely see you again. Thanks
- Denis T, Rockville Centre, NY 06/07/13
--------------------------------------------------------------
TO ALL: HIRE THIS GUY, HE IS UNBELIEVABLE. Matt is a pro in every way, from the 1st conversation & w/every subsequent text and call, he was fantastic. He showed up early & performed non-stop for 5 hrs!! His song list is incredible & he wow'd the crowd by playing special requests & playing the songs that were near and dear to my wife's heart. HE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!! He made our party a huge success and I would hire him again in a nanosecond. Our guests are still talking about how good he was. Matt is a true artist and a true pro who was incredibly passionate about making our event special! Thank you so much Matt for making my wife's party unforgettable!"

We worked with Matt for our first live entertainment night at Brownstones Coffee. He was pleasant, accommodating, and of course extremely talented. If we have another event of its kind in the future we would without a doubt invite Matt back and we would recommend him to anyone we know.

Matthew was excellent again, our 2nd time hiring him, great performer and a true professional! - Vineyard Vines, Manhassett 05/29/13
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Outstanding. I can not believe how good this guy is on the whole. Matt played for 6 hrs!!! Everyone at the party kept sayin "I need his phone number to book him". We had a BBQ with 40 adults plus kids and he played everything people wanted to hear. He played Billy Joel. Bon Jovi. Cat Stevens tim Mcgraw Jimmy buffet. Chesney. Zac Brown etc and did every song with a great touch of his own style. The question isnt if we will hire Matt again its when. What a nice guy. We had such a good time and a big reason was because we hired Matt to play. The rating system should let me give him a 10 out of 5 !!!! Thanks Matt. A++++++ The OHara's"

Matt was excellent to work with from the moment we booked him until the moment the party was over. We received multiple compliments from guests about how great he was and how great the song selection was. The party was in a small room and it was nice that the music didn't make it impossible to hold conversation - he was at the perfect volume for the space. We had a request for two songs to be sung that weren't on Matt's list, but he made it his business to learn them both and perform them to perfection! We would recommend him to anyone and everyone that wants a talented and professional musician for an event!

Matthew Cutillo made my brother's proposal to his girlfriend an experience that the two of them will remember for the rest of their lives! His professionalism, otherworldly talent, and unrivaled warmth and kindness were more than we could even have hoped for. We're trying to push our other brother into proposing to his girlfriend already, just so we can hire Matthew once again! - David S, New York, NY 11/21/12
---------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was great at our event in Rochester, NY. It was hard finding entertainment for our event since it was on a Sunday and thanksgiving week! He took the long drive to Rochester and our guest enjoyed his music very much. I look forward to working with Matthew again and highly recommend his talent. He played songs that everyone knew and could relate to. We were only expecting 100 guests and we topped that at 217...just because of his music! I am still receiving feedback from our event. Thanks again, Matthew!

We hired Matthew for our October 2012 wedding to provide live guitar music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. What a great decision that turned out to be. Matthew provided beautiful, tasteful music that our guests raved about. Matthew is a clear professional at his craft. He stayed in constant contact with us leading up to the wedding and ensured he was receptive to our requests. Matthew also exhibited great energy that was refreshing when navigating the stress of wedding planning. Matthew's music was exceptional and it was clear that he gave it his all and was well prepared. We recommend Matthew highly for couples looking for live music at their wedding. - Andrew Y, De Seversky Mansion, Old Westbury, NY 10/21/12

Hired Matt for my Christmas party and he was excellent! He entertained my crowd as he played his guitar and sang. My crowd ranged from 5 years old to 70. There was a mix of dance music, Christmas carols, oldies, contemporary etc. His personality is awesome and I will definitely hire him again.

Matthew recently played at our wedding shower and the whole party was raving about him the entire time. The songs he played were ideal for the occasion and he even played all of our personal requests! In addition to sounding great and being an extremely talented musician, Matthew was a true professional. He was extremely kind and a pleasure to be around. He played for over 5 hours and he kept up the energy the entire time. He greeted all of our guests and introduced himself to everyone as soon as he arrived. The next time we have a party that needs music, Matthew will be the first person I call. Thanks Matthew!
- Nicholas, New Providence, NJ 07/06/2019 (105 degree hottest day of the year, day after an all night marathon gig!!)
A must to hire!!!! Matthew was amazing. Super talented, great stage presence. Came early to setup. Dressed impeccable and holds himself with class!! He is very easy to communicated with through the process!! Very reliable, and feels the crowd to see the music that should be sung. He made my husbands birthday perfection and exactly what we were looking for!! So happy we chose Matthew! - Melissa C. Dix Hills, NY 6/29/2019
You were awesome! Everyone was very impressed. Even my grandmother is still raving about you!
Happy Holidays to you! - Colleen & Steve, Seaford, NY 12/08/2018
My wife and I had gotten married out-of-state, so we put together a semi-formal, catered party at a local restaurant/bar for our friends and family. From our initial contact to the day of our party, communication with Matthew was super easy; he was also super accommodating, letting me know I could e-mail, text, and/or call him at anytime. On the day of event, MC was professional from start to finish and over-delivered and exceeded every expectation we had for him. MC's performance and personality set the perfect tone and balance for our party. Many of our guest have stated that his performance was the highlight of the event. Thanks again Matthew!!! -Matt and Amanda D - Matthew & Amanda D, Amityville, NY 03/10/2018
Matthew is a seasoned professional and an excellent musician. But more importantly he is kind, prompt and conscientious of his hosts and their guests. Matt is eager to please and he can play anything-he happily accepted special requests and absolutely charmed and wowed our guests!!!! We look forward to being entertained by him at more parties in the future. Thank you Matt for gifting us a beautiful evening with your talents!
- David & Blair, Hicksville, NY 07/22/17

Matthew was reliable, nice and we really enjoyed his music. I would hire him anytime I had a party.
- Linda & Scott Great Neck, NY 04/29/17
-----------------------------------------------------
We did a lot of research to find the perfect performer for our wedding. We spoke with several people, phone calls, searched far and wide locally & online. Matthew was the perfect fit. His talent was clearly superior than anything else we found. Looking at his sample videos you can see his heart swells into his performances. He offered to learn every song we asked for - and was always available for our questions up until the big day. Throughout our communications, he was/ still is charismatic and friendly and me made great suggestions. He's a seasoned professional that gets to know you on a personal level and caters to who you truly are. On the day of our wedding Matt contacted me in the morning with enthusiasm. We got married in the morning and he was playing his guitar before I got to the venue (And im the groom!). Being the groom I was early and nervous, Matthew played a few rock songs on his guitar to help my nerves and get me excited. It was the personal I needed. I made a true friend that day. We asked Matthew to perform acoustically for our wedding party as they came to the alter. A specific song for the groom, the wedding party and the bride. It was more special than just pressing play on an ipod. One of a kind performance. He continued to play during our cocktail hour where he used electric guitar. He danced with my 5 year old neice and kept her smiling. He stayed late to make sure we were happy and took requests from me on the fly. Matthew over achieved for my wedding. Almost ever guest had something to say about his performance. We hired a DJ for the second half of wedding but we regret it. It would have been more memorable to have Matthew play the entire time. My best advice - Let Matthew be himself and give him the space to do his thing and he will hit a home run for your event. My family is still talking about him. We're lucky to have had him and can't wait to hire him again. Don't miss your chance.
- Mel & John S, West Sayville, NY 04/30/16

I can't say enough about Matthew Cutillo. He went above and beyond my expectations. He really knew how to get the party started and at the end of the night everyone enjoyed dancing the night away. I would highly recommend Matthew for any event. His talent dedication and professionalism made the party a huge success. We all just loved him !!

--------------------------------------------------------
My husband and I got married on 8/20/15. We hired a one man band to play during our extended cocktail hour as well as our ceremony. Last minute that guy backed out leaving us freaking out a week before the wedding. I went on Gig Salad and wrote how desperate we were for someone to help us. Matt was the first person who called us as well as the one person we had our eye on. He was absolutely amazing!!! He played everything we wanted and even learned new songs that we requested a couple days before the wedding. Matt is extremely talented and anyone would be lucky to have him play during your event. My entire wedding wouldn't stop talking about how amazing he was. No one wanted him to stop playing. Thank you Matt!!!!
- Nicole & Matt, 08/20/15

Matt performed at my husband's 50th Birthday party. Matt made the preparation for the party very easy by allowing me to choose the songs from a list. He was always easy to reach and extremely respectful and accommodating. He is a wonderful performer and made the night extra special. He even learned a song that is one of my husband's favorites.
- Tina M, NY
--------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was enthusiastic and professional from the first correspondence we had over email. Right away I felt at ease that he was going to bring the party to life.

I highly recommend Matthew Cutillo for any event. His music selection is lengthy and will not disappoint. Thanks Matt!

What more can I say that hasn't already been said about Matt. He's truly one of a kind! Beyond being a supremely talented artist, he's an equally great person. I knew from our first phone call he was what I was hoping to find. So sincere & personally vested and really listens to the client. He nailed everything for my secret proposal. Great open communication, and I didn't have to worry about a single thing that day. He handled everything like the true pro he is. You'll be looking for an excuse to throw another party just to have Matt there! Thank you yet again for everything Matthew!

When we began planning our wedding, we were seeking something unique and special over the regular bands and DJs most people hire. Immediately Matthew Cutillo was our first and only choice. Matthew played all day long, from the pre-ceremony music, the bridal processional, cocktail hour & the entire reception. He arrived early to set up at our out-of-the box venue, dressed professionally, & appropriate for a beach wedding. Our guests are still raving about how talented and fun he is, and he helped us create the magical and different wedding we were dreaming of. He even learned a few new songs I requested just a few days prior to the event! I highly recommend Matthew!
- Ali & Jim G, Tiana Beach Activity Center, Hampton Bays, NY 09/06/14

Matthew was an absolute pleasure to work with. He was incredibly responsive and really helped work with me to put together an amazing cocktail hour for my wedding. I am so glad I decided to use Matthew for the cocktail hour, as all my guests raved over him. He was supposed to play for an hour, but due to guests showing up early, he started playing earlier! Everyone could not stop talking about how great he was. I can't say enough nice things about him, and I hope my 3 younger siblings will be able to use him for their weddings. - Mary L, Old Field Club, East Setauket, NY 08/16/14
----------------------------------------------------------
We couldn't have been happier with Matthew as the choice to play our wedding. Not only was his pricing very reasonable, but he drove up to Portland, ME from NY, played for 6 hours straight with no break (literally, no break), and absolutely wowed our attendees. Everyone was so impressed not just with his musical ability, but with the wide range of music he played that met everyone's taste. Our teenage cousins loved him, our middle-aged parents loved him, our 80+ year-old grandparents loved him, even our vendors loved him. Super professional from start to finish, and an absolute joy to have at out wedding. We couldn't have made a better choice in musician. - Eric D, The Inn on Peaks Island, ME 07/27/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Just like all his other reviews he was great. He was there early and stayed later then he had to. He played 5 hours straight without taking a break. He's probably one of the nicest guys you'll meet and very talented. He takes his job very serious. Everyone at the party loved him and he was a big hit.

Matt did a really great job. I needed a guitarist for a memorial service and a party/celebration following the service, and I had a week to do it. Matt was very professional and worked very hard to accommodate my requests, learning a new song for the service. At the party he set the perfect mood and several guests commented on how great he was. Good job! Timothy D, NYC 07/08/14
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew's performance at our wedding on 6/29/14 was absolutely perfect! He was extremely accommodating in the planning process, learning new songs for us and responding quickly to any questions we had. He showed up early, did a fantastic job for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception - changing up the style as necessary. His interaction with us and our guests was great. Matthew is extremely professional and a really really nice guy. He is versatile enough for any event, we highly recommend him!

One word to describe Matthew "AMAZING." He played at our son's baptism party and he was so professional, kind, passionate, professional, and a wonderful musician!! Everyone was coming up to me and my husband to tell us how much they loved Matthew and would love to use him for their future events. It was truly an honor to have him at our sons christening. It made the party that much more special. I will def be having Matthew play at our next event. Thank you Matthew for exceeding our expectations. Stephanie P, Brookville Country Club, NY 06/07/14

I hired Matthew to play at my dad's 60th birthday brunch with 60 people. Matthew was EXTREMELY professional to deal with, a very pleasant person to talk to. He arrived on time to the party, and was ready to go in just minutes. He played for the ENTIRE 3 hours, only stopping for a brief moment to go around the room and ask for special requests. Matthew made sure my dad was happy and hearing music that he liked. Matthew played at the very perfect volume!! We were able to hold conversations nicely while enjoying the music. He couldn't have been any more PERFECT. We would absolutely use him again for our events. My entire family was SO, SO, SO happy with his performance.

Matthew was a big hit at my surprise 50th birthday party! Not only is he a talented musician; he impressed me and my guests by the care he took making sure he was playing songs I wanted him to play. He even went around asking guests what they wanted to hear or thought I would like to hear as well. He really made my party special. I highly recommend Matthew for anyone looking for a guitar player. He is extremely professional and an excellent musician.

Matthew was excellent! Even in the midst of bad weather and traffic in DC, he still arrived in a timely manner and began playing upon minutes of arrival. He performed all of the songs we requested beautifully at the cocktail reception. I would definitely recommend Matthew for all of your acoustic guitar needs. Thanks, Matthew!

Working with Matthew was a real pleasure. We hired him to accompany a song during a funeral service and he was a consummate professional. It's obvious from his dedication, sensitivity and work ethic that he has a true passion for his craft. He is a good man with a good soul and a tremendous gift. We are incredibly grateful that he was a part of the day.

Matthew performed brilliantly at our wedding March 8. We'd read the reviews on Gigmasters, reviewed his song list and asked for a bid. We never dreamed we'd be so fortunate as to find the perfect artist. We wholeheartedly endorse him for his musical talents, and for responsiveness before the wedding as well. Matthew really cares about your event, passionately, with a lot of pride and serious intention to fulfill his commitment of excellence. We are humbled to have made him our choice for our special day. Our only regret is that we don't have another occasion coming up to have Matthew perform. We were, and out guests were, blown away!

Can't wait to have him back! What a pleasure....can't say enough good things about him....he made the night so much fun, I think because it seems that he truly enjoys what he does...and he does it well! Not only is he a great entertainer/musician....I don't know if there's a nicer guy around!

After an exhausting search for a live entertainer for the reception and cocktail hour at our wedding my wife and i had the pleasure of meeting Matt Cutillo. We were immediately impressed by his musical talent, professionalism and personality. Although we took a day to think it over we knew minutes after meeting Matt that he would be the perfect choice for us. On our wedding day he arrived promplty, was ready to go before the guests arrived and provided us and our guests with an amazing afternoon. I am not exaggerating when i say that Matt helped make my wedding one of the most pleasant and enjoyable days of my life. I recommend Matt without hesitation. AWESOME!

---------------------------------------------------------------
As always Matt doesn't disappoint. I've hosted a holiday party for many years and for the past 6 or 7 I have hired Matt to provide live musical entertainment. Returning guests ask me ahead of time if Matt will be playing and are always excited to find that to be the case. Matt adjusts his style, volume and song selection to fit the mood of the party as the evening progesses. On top of that he adeptly engaged the guests and solicited requests... one of which included allowing a guest to sing. He is a consumate professional and braved blizzard conditions to ensure he was on time for the party. Looking forward to seeing you again next year Matt.

Matt crushes it....again So we hire Matt for the 4th time, to play for family & friends after my daughter's baptism in NYC....mind you this gig started at 11AM. By 12:15pm Matt had kids from 3yrs to 80 yrs old goin nuts- the mimosa's & bloody's were out in force & what was going to be a chill after-party turned into a raucous free-for all. Matt played til 3pm & everyone who hadnt heard him at earlier family parties was asking me how we found him. He is a superb talent who always goes the extra mile- he can play ANYTHING, & most importantly he has the best attitude of any entertainer I've dealt with.
- Sean P, Rosie O'Grady's, NYC 12/7/13
----------------------------------------------------------
Matthew played for our family on the 2nd day of an extended Thanksgiving under a tent. He was amazing. Everyone commented on the quality of his performance and his voice. And there were so many pictures snapping and videos being taken, as he hit on everyone's favorite songs. He did a fabulous rendition of Darius Rucker's Wagon Wheel, which is my niece Ciara's favorite. Ciara was dancing and everyone was smiling. And he spent 2 weeks learning the Fields of Athenry (a special Irish tune), which made me tear up. Matt is a class act and we would definitely, DEFINITELY, definitely hire him again. And what was supposed to be a 2 hour gig somehow turned into 4. :)
- Tanya H, Whitestone, NY, 11/29/13
--------------------------------------------------
It's not often that I read (or trust) so many 5 star reviews for anything. But believe the truth behind all of these! Matthew was an absolute pleasure to work with from the very beginning. A true gnetlemen. Our (often hard-to-please) guests were impressed with his talent, demeanor and selection of music and many have already followed up to ask how we found him and how they can get in touch for future events. My husband and I were very behind schedule in out music selections but Matthew learned a potential first dance song in a matter of hours! Incredible! I highly recommend him for any event. You will not be disappointed.
- Kimberly S, Full 7.5 hour Wedding, Paramus, NJ 11/24/13
-------------------------------------------------
Matthew went above and beyond. A true professional and talented artist. Whether he's playing just one song or for 3 hours - the dedication is evident. It's incredible how reliable he was through the whole process. It was an amazing night that we'll always remember and Matthew was an instrumental part of the proposal. He nailed it. I would highly recommend him for any event!

To put it simply, Matt was amazing at our event last night. Not only was he talented and professional, he was also extremely engaging and warm with all of our guests. Multiple people in attendace complimented our staff in our entertainment choice due to his excellent performance. Matt helped to make our already special evening that much more special by being able to read our guests and deliver just what they would enjoy. I highly recommend Matt for any kind of event, because I know no matter what kind of day or evening you have in mind, Matt will make it just that much better. Thank you Matt, we are so grateful for your help and we hope to work together again SOON!

How would we describe Matt in one word ? AMAZING! Matt performed for our wedding and he went above and beyond! His personality, voice, and charm all blended perfectly together. Matt got to our wedding 90 minutes early to set up and performed through out our wedding. All of our guests enjoyed his stylish singing, especially all of the children. They were non stop dancing. Thank you so much Matt, for making our special day more special.... And that was because of you.?????? Your new buds,

Matt exceeded my expections in satisfaction. Since the moment I spoke to Matt to arrange my event, he handled himself with utmost professionalism. He put my nerves at ease and assured me the entertainment for the event will be a wonderful experienced for all. He delivered an outstanding performance. His selection of music was soft and soothing. He welcomed requests and celebrated our guest of honor to the fullest. Matt is truly a professional performer. We will always remember this day and the happy memories Matt help create for us, especially for my guest of honor. I look forward to doing business with him in the future.

Matt blew us away again!We had the privilege of having Matt entertain us last year for my daughter's communion.Matt played an incredible selection of acoustic songs that were perfect for the venue. Fast fwd a year later-Matt's totally up'd his game!He still brings the ability to play a range of acoustic songs,but adds the ability to play w/ a full band,complete with backing vocals.He goes above and beyond to make sure every aspect of his performance is perfect.Matt played an incredible range of songs from the Peppers to Johnny Cash to Earth,Wind & Fire.He had us all dancing & singing,enjoying every moment. It's w/o question a must to have Matt play your next event!
- Kevin H, Seaford, NY 09/28/13

Matthew performed a 2-hour set of guitar and vocals for a small birthday party in Manhattan. Arriving on time wearing a nice grey suit and tie, he began playing instrumental classical music on his 12-string guitar. Then as the night progressed, he adapted to the guests' mood performing vocal / acoustic guitar sing-a-longs. He also worked in some backing tracks which filled out the sound and got the guests dancing. From then on he took requests for the rest of the evening as the guests danced, sang, and laughed. Leading up to the event Matthew was always quick to reply to emails, and easy to deal with. Highly recommended and my first call for future events.
- Nat B, River House, NYC, 09/26/13
-------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was a pleasure to communicate with while arranging our party. On the day of the party he arrived early with a big smile on his face and we immediately knew we were going to have a great night. Not only is Matthew extraordinarily talented, he also has a wonderful personality. Our backyard party was just a casual gathering of friends, but having Matthew perform elevated it to a night we will all remember! The music was outstanding! I would not hesitate to use Matthew again, and will highly recommend him to anyone! (Ps he even went the extra mile and learned my favorite song!)
- Sharon S, Bergenfield, NJ 09/07/13
---------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew was amazing! From the moment I requested a quote, he's been the most accommodating and attentive person throughout my whole wedding process. Though I'm a very laid back person about planning, he was very diligent, precise, enthusiastic and he was very intent on getting back to any question or concern I had within moments. The first time I ever contacted him, he treated me as though I'd been a long time friend whom he couldn't wait to see and play music for! He went above and beyond to play my favorite songs, and everyone who attended the wedding commented on the amazing job he did. I would recommend him in a heart beat. Thank you Matthew!

My wife and I have known Matt since his years at Göttingen University in Germany. Now that we have a son who really loves music we thought of having Matt in concert for his 10th birthday. As we live in Estonia, Matt gave the concert via Skype. We're proud to be the first people Matt performed for over the Internet. Video and audio were crisp and clear. Matt played all our son's favorites and the whole crowd at our place had a real good time. Musically, Matt is a genius. Add his humor and flexibility, and you have a great gig. If you live too far away to have him in person, having him via Skype is the next best thing. Thank you for making our son's birthday special!
- Marcus & Airi H, Estonia 08/21/13

Matthew made my 40th birthday bash really wonderful!! He was very entertaining and accommodating. This is the second time we hired Matthew. I highly recommend him. He is an extremely talented musician and a very nice person! Matthew try's his hardest to please everyone! He is also very dependable.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew is an amazing talent ! He plays beautifully, sings beautifully and is a beautiful person inside and out! He somehow makes you feel like you've known him for a long time even though you just met him. He is professional and well spoken. Matthew made our party a success! Everyone kept asking us where we found him and many of our guests asked for his business card. A true talent!!! We are going to hire him for our daughters wedding, so she can walk down the isle to the sweet sounds of Matthew's guitar. Thank you Matthew!
- Erika, Sam, Sophia & Jon, Oakdale, NY 07/28/13
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is the 2nd time we have used Matt for a very important day in our lives. First, it was our wedding and now our daughter's 1st birthday party. We have been blown away both times. First of all, Matt was in a minor car accident on his way to the birthday party and still showed up on time and ready to rock. That just shows how much dedication Matt has to his clients. Everyone at the party loved Matt's music and we have received many compliments on our decision to use him for the party. We can't wait to have Matt play at our next big function. He is the best out there and you won't be disappointed!
- Brian L, Cinnaminson, NJ, 07/20/13
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is the second year in a row we had Matt come to our home for a summer party, & once again he was incredible. From playing 50's tunes for the older folks to top 10 hits & everything in between, Matt is a unique talent who connects with his audiences in a very personal way. He'll continue to be the only live musician we call when we entertain family & friends...
- Sean P, Mattituck, NY 07/27/13
--------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------
We had originally planned on hiring Matthew to play our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour but after meeting with him we felt he would be perfect to play the entire wedding. Our friends and family thought it was a very risky move but we felt Matthew fit perfectly with our beach wedding vibe. From beginning to end he brought professionalism to a whole new level. At the wedding we got compliments on his performance from too many guests to remember and he created an atmosphere we had dreamed of but never imagined possible. He truly comes with our highest recommendation, so much so that we've decided to write this from our honeymoon on the beach in Bermuda.
- Joanna E, Bayville, NY 07/18/13
--------------------------------------------------------------
Matthew Cutillo was Awesome!!!! The most professional and talented entertainer anyone could ask for! His music made our event and I highly recommend Matthew Cutillo!!

--------------------------------------------------------------
And neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, will keep Matt from playing his gig!!!!!!!!! it was a rainy day as Matt was setting up - he sound checked to Here Comes the Sun and out it came for a while. It rained...Matt played on... reset up inside and played on...sun came back out.. he reset up and played on...a lesser professional would have called it quits. Matt played with passion and perseverance. Played a nice blend of kids' songs and music for the big kids. Had a few requests, in different vernaculars, that were discussed previously with Matt, he nailed them. would I hire him again...I JUST DID!!! Cant wait to see you soon.
- Jason H, Massapequa, NY 07/13/13
--------------------------------------------------------------
Our experience was wonderful. Matt was a true professional during the entire process. We had a few discussions leading up to the event to make sure we had all his needs met for set-up, location etc. and he arrived early to make sure all would go smoothly. He created the perfect vibe for our daughter's college graduation party. Many guests (young and not so young) commented how talented a performer Matt was and how they enjoyed relaxing, listening and watching Matt, as if they were at a concert! We look forward to when we can invite Matt back to our home for another gathering of family and friends. Having Matt at our home created a lasting memory for all!

I would highly recommend Matthew for any event/party!
- Lauren M, Hauppauge, NY 06/29/13
---------------------------------------------------------------
Matt was a huge hit. He can play in any venue and any type of music. He had no problem with special requests. We asked that he play to the age group in the audience which he certainly did. And the group ranged from 25-65 years old. His talent is exceptional, He is sophisticated, warm, and he never overpowered the room. And never stopped singing! He clearly loves what he is doing. Matt was more than accommodating. There was a transportation problem which he dealt with. We look forward to his return at our Club and highly recommend him.
- Suzie D, Point O Woods, Fire Island, NY 06/28/13

Matt was professional as always. He was on time and prepared. The guests and our neighboring stores were impressed with his performance. Matt took requests from some of our guests also. His sound was very laid back, cool, and relaxing. Since the last time he was here he had some new material and background music also. It was a very pleasurable experience and we would not hesitate to use Matt again.

"Matt is a true professional. From the planning stage until the last song, he was focused on pleasing my guests at the party.He is talented, versatile and sounds better live than on his on-line demos. I would recommend Matt without reservation and my guests were wowed. He produces a full rich sound and has an amazing repertoire of music. Most importantly, Matt is kind and grounded. He arrived early and frequently checked in to make sure that he was performing to our satisfaction. Matt deserves his ranking as #1 in this category. This review is my way of showing my appreciation. Thanks Matthew."

--------------------------------------------------------------
"This guy is a pro. The whole thing could not have been better. He managed special requests without a hitch, arrived early, dressed properly, and was prepared for every possibility. His range is just incredible; he did some classical stuff for us during the cocktail hour and all the singer-songwriter stuff we love for the dinner. Dozens of our guests asked for his name. Complete professionalism throughout and undeniable talent. My advice to you is to stop reading this now and book him before someone else does first."

Matt played my 40th bday at my house last month. Many reviews mention similar accolades. I can pull my thesaurus and be creative , but the words "talented"' , "professional", "accommodating" and above all, caring, are spot on. My guests were all thoroughly impressed and had a great time interacting with Matt. All the best to you Matt, and we will definitely see you again. Thanks
- Denis T, Rockville Centre, NY 06/07/13
--------------------------------------------------------------
TO ALL: HIRE THIS GUY, HE IS UNBELIEVABLE. Matt is a pro in every way, from the 1st conversation & w/every subsequent text and call, he was fantastic. He showed up early & performed non-stop for 5 hrs!! His song list is incredible & he wow'd the crowd by playing special requests & playing the songs that were near and dear to my wife's heart. HE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT!! He made our party a huge success and I would hire him again in a nanosecond. Our guests are still talking about how good he was. Matt is a true artist and a true pro who was incredibly passionate about making our event special! Thank you so much Matt for making my wife's party unforgettable!"

Matthew was excellent again, our 2nd time hiring him, great performer and a true professional! - Vineyard Vines, Manhassett 05/29/13
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Outstanding. I can not believe how good this guy is on the whole. Matt played for 6 hrs!!! Everyone at the party kept sayin "I need his phone number to book him". We had a BBQ with 40 adults plus kids and he played everything people wanted to hear. He played Billy Joel. Bon Jovi. Cat Stevens tim Mcgraw Jimmy buffet. Chesney. Zac Brown etc and did every song with a great touch of his own style. The question isnt if we will hire Matt again its when. What a nice guy. We had such a good time and a big reason was because we hired Matt to play. The rating system should let me give him a 10 out of 5 !!!! Thanks Matt. A++++++ The OHara's"

Matt was excellent to work with from the moment we booked him until the moment the party was over. We received multiple compliments from guests about how great he was and how great the song selection was. The party was in a small room and it was nice that the music didn't make it impossible to hold conversation - he was at the perfect volume for the space. We had a request for two songs to be sung that weren't on Matt's list, but he made it his business to learn them both and perform them to perfection! We would recommend him to anyone and everyone that wants a talented and professional musician for an event!

Matthew Cutillo made my brother's proposal to his girlfriend an experience that the two of them will remember for the rest of their lives! His professionalism, otherworldly talent, and unrivaled warmth and kindness were more than we could even have hoped for. We're trying to push our other brother into proposing to his girlfriend already, just so we can hire Matthew once again! - David S, New York, NY 11/21/12

Matthew was great at our event in Rochester, NY. It was hard finding entertainment for our event since it was on a Sunday and thanksgiving week! He took the long drive to Rochester and our guest enjoyed his music very much. I look forward to working with Matthew again and highly recommend his talent. He played songs that everyone knew and could relate to. We were only expecting 100 guests and we topped that at 217...just because of his music! I am still receiving feedback from our event. Thanks again, Matthew!

We hired Matthew for our October 2012 wedding to provide live guitar music for the ceremony and cocktail hour. What a great decision that turned out to be. Matthew provided beautiful, tasteful music that our guests raved about. Matthew is a clear professional at his craft. He stayed in constant contact with us leading up to the wedding and ensured he was receptive to our requests. Matthew also exhibited great energy that was refreshing when navigating the stress of wedding planning. Matthew's music was exceptional and it was clear that he gave it his all and was well prepared. We recommend Matthew highly for couples looking for live music at their wedding. - Andrew Y, De Seversky Mansion, Old Westbury, NY 10/21/12
