Matt was absolutely a delight
and pleasure to work with. From the very beginning of our communications, he was extremely accommodating and professional.
While planning a wedding, you quickly realize how important it is for the people you work with to be reliable with their word
and responsive when you need them. Matt was exactly that. Of course, most importantly, he was a huge hit at our
wedding reception. We had him and his group play as a jazz quartet during the cocktail hour and dinner. The music
was elegant and the perfect "extra" we were looking for to make the night feel special. He did not hesitate
to take on emcee duties when we needed him and did a great job, as well! We are so fond of him and hope to hear him
play again real soon. Thanks for everything Matt!

Thank you!!! Everyone loved you and
we were thrilled. You were everything we could have hoped for and more. Thank you for driving the many miles to share your
talent and help make our day all the more special. It was wonderful to finally meet you and we look forward to posting our
recommendations for you all over the Internet. We feel so lucky to have found you and your group. Please do let your band
members know how grateful we are.

Getting to know you and Sarah and seeing you both perform was one of our favorite parts of
planning our wedding. We knew you were the right person to manage the music for our reception the first time we
met you. You reassured us that we could ask about any detail, regardless of how small or insignificant it may seem.
That really set our minds at ease. There are so many stressful decisions to make when planning a wedding. It was
nice that the decision about what band to hire was entirely stress-free.

The Matt Young Group was exactly what we were looking for. They are very professional, and very classy! They are NOT your
typical cheesy wedding band. The musicians are professional, experienced, and every song was done with great class. They "owned"
the music! They were also very friendly and accommodating, especially when there were a couple hiccups during the reception
(technical difficulties with our slide-show, bridal party not knowing what was next on the agenda) They were very flexible
with us and everyone loved them! We are musicians, and a lot of our guests are musicians and they were all very impressed
with them. I highly recommend The Matt Young Group!

We weren't sure whether to hire a band or a DJ for our
wedding reception, but we eventually decided on a band, and we're so glad we did! The Matt Young Group was one of the best
choices we made. The group was professional and courteous when making arrangements and the contract, and their performance
exceeded my expectations! Everyone was very complimentary on the music, and it was no trouble getting people to dance. The
group had a very good repertoire and had no problem taking a few requests from me before the day of the wedding. If I was
doing it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate to hire the Matt Young Group! It was a great night!

The Matt
Young Group was a fabulous group to work with. They impressed a room full of musicians with their talents; I received many
requests on how I found the group and the groups name and compliments from my guests on the Trio. They were an extremely professional
group, willing to make accommodations throughout the planning process, very easy to work with. I would recommend them to everyone
planning a similar event.

We chose The Matt Young Group Jazz quartet with singer Sarah Ferguson based an a clip from
this website and we were not disappointed - they looked great, sounded better and maintained high energy right up until the
end. We highly recommend them!!

The Matt Young Group was amazing! They played a 300+ person gala for us last night and the
music was fabulous. They can play everything from cocktail hour jazz, to pack-the-dance floor funk. We were so impressed not
only with their music but their professionalism and overall personalities. They were all so nice, Matt especially went out
of his way to make sure everything went well and that we were on schedule etc. If you want a great band, this is the one!
I wish we had another party or gala soon so I could see them again!

Matt is very professional and easy
to work with. The communication and correspondence leading up to the event is always clear and friendly, and the performance
is always outstanding!! I have hired The Matt Young Group for several company events this year.

The Matt
Young Group was phenomenal!! I hired them to play for a customer appreciation event that we have every year for our high priority
client's. They played background music for the cocktail and dinner hour and then played dance music for a couple of hours
after dinner. We had never tried having dance music at our event, but wanted to give it a try this year. With The Matt Young
Group, it was a huge success! They were energetic and fun to watch, and they had the dance floor packed by the end of the
night. Everyone had a great time, and I have already booked them for several another events later this year, including my
own daughter's wedding!!

Matt Young Group provided fantastic music for my corporate holiday party! Everyone commented on how great they were and he
was a pleasure to work with. Very responsive and professional. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I will look forward
to hiring The Matt Young Group again! Beautiful sound and a great repertoire! Awesome!

They
were amazing!!!!! I booked them on-line from my home in Colorado for a gig in Indiana (my parents' 50th wedding Anniversary)....and
it could not have gone any smoother !!!! We had a lot of special circumstances that called for some changes from their "normal"
setup and itinerary (ie. speeches, renewal of wedding vows, etc.), but they were cool about it ALL. Everything went off without
a hitch....I would HIGHLY recommend them for ANY future affair. Several people asked and I gave out several business cards
the day of the party. My mom is still getting calls about them!!! Don't be alarmed by their (extremely reasonable) fees....THEY
ARE AWESOME and worth much more !!!!!!!!!!!

The Matt Young Group did a fantastic job at our corporate
event. They arrived and set up on time, and they played at a volume that did not disturb our guests' conversations. The music
selections and performance were great. I would definitely recommend them to someone else, and I would book them again in the
future. Thanks to the Matt Young Group for contributing to the success of our event!

The
Matt Young Group is amazing! Our guests made a point of mentioning to me how impressed they were with this talented group.
Matt is extremely easy to deal with and very accommodating. We couldn't have been happier with the whole experience. I would
absolutely book them again!

I was so thrilled when I walked into my reception and heard the Matt Young Group playing
in the background. They are extremely talented, professional, and just all around a fantastic group to have play for your
wedding, or any function for that matter. I had them as a trio, and was so pleased at their ability to accommodate based on
the surroundings and what was occurring during the wedding. If I ever have a need for a musician for a function I am hosting,
I will definitely be giving them a call! Thank you so much for such a wonderful experience!! Meredith and Adam Werne

The
Matt Young Group had the perfect sound and the perfect look for our corporate cocktail party. They are an extremely talented
group of individuals and we received numerous compliments throughout the evening (and after) about the great music at our
event. Matt is extremely easy to work with and very professional. I would recommend the Matt Young Group to anyone looking
for talented entertainers to help make their event a memorable one!

Can't say enough about the band, they
were fabulous!!! Would definitely recommend and use them again. The band was so good that the management at the restaurant
where we held our event said they would be interested in hiring the Trio for other events!

The
Matt Young Group was stellar! Matt was very professional and handled my all requests with great care. All the musicians seemed
to be having a great time while performing which made them exciting to watch! Their singer, Sarah, not only has a beautiful
voice, but was very engaging with the crowd as well. She helped to foster a fun, comfortable, and friendly atmosphere,
which made it easy for everyone to relax and enjoy the party. It wouldn't have been the same without them!!!
