I had the pleasure of working with Matt at one of my couple's wedding, and I can confidently say he was a fantastic addition to the vendor team. From a planners perspective, working with a vendor who is not only talented but also professional, communicative, and easy to coordinate with is a huge assetand Matt delivered on all fronts.His performance added such a unique and elevated vibe to the event. Whether it was during the ceremony, cocktail hour, or the dance party, the energy and atmosphere he created with his music was unforgettable. Guests were absolutely raving about it, and it really enhanced the overall guest experience.Behind the scenes, Matt was punctual, easygoing, and completely self-sufficientsomething every planner appreciates on a busy wedding day. He was flexible with the schedule and seamlessly integrated into the flow of the event, which made my job that much easier.I would absolutely recommend Matt to future couples looking for that special live music touch. I look forward to the chance to work with him again!

We hired Midwest Mixtape for a neighborhood BBQ Pool Party. They were absolutely fantastic. Communication was amazing and everyone enjoyed the variety of their music. Would highly recommend them and would like to use them again next year!

Matt was extremely professional. He even put together a band for my show each member of which was personable and just great at playing their instruments and songs I gave them. Will be booking again in the future.
