Memorial Service•Reviewed on July 13, 2014•From New York City, NY
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!
Wedding•Reviewed on July 3, 2014•From Hampton Bays, NY
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!

Christening•Reviewed on June 11, 2014•From Greenvale, NY
One word to describe Matthew "AMAZING." He played at our sons 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.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 2, 2014•From Atlantic Beach, NY
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.
Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on June 11, 2014•From Massapequa, NY
And neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, nor the winds of change, will stay Matt form 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.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 11, 2014•From Farmingdale, NY
This man is amazing! He is one of the nicest people I have ever met not to mention talented. He played for my Husbands 50th Birthday and he was awesome. I don't think he even took a break. Everybody danced, sang and really enjoyed themselves. He was so accommodating. I can't wait to have another party so I can hire him again!
Funeral•Reviewed on April 5, 2014•From Bayville, NY
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 was a delight to work with! He created a tailored playlist for a surprise engagement and was professional, timely, very easy to communicate with via phone and e-mail, and a talented musician. I would strongly recommend him for any type of event. Thanks for all you've done for us Matthew!

Wedding Ceremony•Reviewed on March 21, 2014•From Wilmington, DE
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 care 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!

Grand Opening•Reviewed on May 1, 2014•From Washington, DC
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!
Cocktail Party•Reviewed on January 18, 2014•From Floral Park, NY
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!
Wedding•Reviewed on January 14, 2014•From Miller Place, NY
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!
Christmas Party•Reviewed on December 20, 2013•From Englewood Cliffs, NJ
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.
Celebration•Reviewed on January 6, 2014•From New York City, NY
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.
Private Party•Reviewed on November 30, 2013•From Whitestone, NY
Matt 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. :)
