Matthew Cutillo Guitarist Vocalist Digital One Man Band

Matthew over delivered with a performance of Michael Jackson PYT (per our request) and Happy birthday song as a singing telegram for our friend Michael’s 40th birthday celebration. Fun and laughs for both the adults and kids. Everyone has a great time, singing and dancing along and it was the perfect surprise!

Matthew was great to work with from the start. From the first phone call to the event, everything ran very smoothly. He has a great stage presence, is very charismatic and all the guests loved him.
Matthew is so talented in both vocals and guitar. We came up with a playlist together and his suggestions were spot on. He made the event extra special. I highly recommend him for your next event.

Amazing vocal performance by Matthew for our guests. Super excited we had him and will be back soon to hire him. Thank you Gig Salad for this great talent!! Thanks, Matthew!

Very professional, courteous, loved knowing he was ready to accomplish his mission. Highly recommend! A favorite.

Our non-profit was hosting a Christmas Party for our members and we were left scrambling not long before the event looking for a music talent we could book. Enter Matthew Cutillo. Right from the start he communicated everything with us, his price was incredibly reasonable for his level of talent and he had an amazing set list. The night of our event Matthew’s only concern was that we had a great time and that his performance exceeded our expectations. You can truly tell that Matthew loves what he does and he is an amazingly talented guitarist and vocalist. Would love to book again for next year!!

My husband and I were extremely thrilled with Matthew. His song selection was perfect for our event and all our guests were complimenting his talent, voice and guitar. He was very punctual and accommodating to our requests. We will undoubtedly hire Matthew again for any of our upcoming events. He has our highest recommendations.

Matthew was very professional, he came early and he vibes well with everyone in the audience.
Thank you Matthew you were awesome!!!

Many guests were very complimentary after the party. My husband, whose birthday it was, couldn’t have been happier that I hired Matt!

Matt was both professional and gentleman. His entertainment was great. We booked event for a surprise gathering for my husband and Matt did a fantastic job honoring him. We enjoyed his music and his company. Highly recommend. Will definitely be using Matt for our next event

Matthew was professional. He was an excellent communicator. Best of all, he showed up early, easily set up, and wonderfully played and sang. He played our requests. I would highly recommend Matthew. He's got great energy and wants to make sure you get your money's worth. I was very happy that we were able to get him to play our son's three year old birthday party. Matthew boosted the atmosphere!

Matthew is very professional and talented. He set up early and stayed late to entertain song requests from our guests. His double neck guitar was a beauty. Absolute pleasure!

We were incredibly fortunate to have Matthew perform at my mom's birthday party. His music set the perfect atmosphere for the celebration, and everyone enjoyed singing along to his wonderful tunes. He was very professional, patient and flexible, adapting the song to the singer and playing songs again when requested. He has an extensive repetoire of songs and he was happy to let my mom and our guests be the star of the show. Thank you, Matthew, for making my mom's birthday truly unforgettable!

We hired Mathew for our 30th in East Islip at the Moorings. From initial contact to his final goodbye he was not only cordial and upbeat, but extremely attentive and professional to our every whim (we were very picky about musical selections!!). He was always patient and gracious and our guests raved non stop about him at the party and now afterwards that’s all we hear about from guests when we touch base! Unbelievable in every way. He was early and set up with a very unique sound system dressed to impress. There’s a magic about this man that says he’s slightly more than a mere mortal. IHe’s truly supernatural. Thanks, we loved him !!

Matthew played for my daughter's 1 yo birthday party and was a pleasure to work with. He posted age appropriate songs that both the children and adults loved and he even dressed the part (donning farm pants and a hat as the party was on a farm.) He was easy to correspond with- very quick w his responses and helpful. I would most certainly recommend him. He is a wonderful person and musician.

Absolutely the BEST!!!! A blessing to our 95yrold Uncle and all those who participated. To trust in someone sight unseen and be blown away by their commitment to bringing joy to others was a beauuutiful experience. Matthew surpassed all of my expectations.

Matthew is awesome! I hired him for a party I had at my house -- he is a super talented, professional, and all around lovely person. He was communicative leading up to the event and punctual, I didn't have to worry about a thing. I will definitely be hiring him for events in the future!

Matthew is an AMAZING artist, and person. He performed incredible renditions of Dance With My Father & I Can Only Imagine for a Memorial for my Dad and his performance was a Masterclass. I highly recommend Matthew for you next Gig

Matthew was great to work with and did a great job getting ready for our Sunday service (on some very short notice). I especially appreciated how easy he was to communicate with. Really responsive!

We hired Matthew for two days…Saturday for our wedding ceremony in an outdoor chapel in the woods and the next day at our reception in a nearby restaurant. Matthew is beyond wonderful. He was so kind and attentive leading up to the events and beyond talented with his voice and various guitars and one man band equipment. I asked him to learn a few new songs and he was more than willing to do that! Everybody enjoyed him!
I would like to think I met a new friend for life and hope I can find a reason to hire him in the future! Thank you for bringing such beautiful music into lives!! Katie :))

Matthew was friendly, accommodating, and excited about our wedding from the first time we spoke! He learned all of our requested songs, traveled to CT, and sang every song without a break outside on a very hot day. He truly cares about making your special day perfect and responds to you right away! We’re looking forward to seeing him again one day! Book him ASAP!! Thank you, Matthew!!
-Ashley and Vincent

He played non-stop and everyone at the event loved him. We cannot wait to invite Matt to play at future events!

Matthew Cutillo is the best performer to hire for your event. He’s motivated, organized, highly communicative, flexible, and very passionate about his music! Matthew did an excellent job surprising and wowing my friend for her birthday. I can’t say enough great stuff about this guy!!

Matthew Cutillo was spot on in every aspect of the performance! Not only did he arrive early to the event, is was impeccably dressed and, when he saw that the guests were arriving early, began playing before the actual start time. His arrangements of the ceremony selections were beautiful and his guitar and rig sounded incredible. Once the ceremony had ended, Matthew continue to play well into the cocktail hour to allow the pianist to set up his gear for the reception. This allowed for a seamless transition from cocktails to the reception.
Mr. Cutillo is an ideal combination of talent and professionalism. As a band leader of 40 years, I can attest to the fact that performers of his caliber and conscientiousness are few and far between!

We had Matthew perform at a small backyard engagement party for my son and his fiancé and he was terrific! Everyone enjoyed his performance and we are still getting compliments!! His voice is spectacular and his performance made the party all the more special for our family. Can’t wait to have Matthew at our next party! You won’t be disappointed!!!

Matthew has a lovely voice and plays guitar beautifully. He is responsive and answers any questions right away. This was a little surprise for my Mom on her 86th birthday and she loved being serenaded by Matt. He was dressed nicely and was really sweet and charming with my Mom and sisters. If you want to give the gift of a memory, call Matthew. He was the perfect finale to my Mom's special day. Thank you Matthew!

Great night!

Excellent, guy has a great future

Known him for a while but even if I didn’t his music is tight and right and it’s fun for the whole family. Been to a bunch of parties where Matt has played and he ‘s nailed them all...whether you want to interact or have someone play great music and shutup and let your loud family talk.....he’s the guy for the job.....5 stars

Watched Matt Cutillo preform a few times and he has always had a Stella performance. He engaged with everyone around him and connected immediately. He has so much soul, sounds great and never lets down. From classical to rock brings everyone to feel his music. A must have performer !!

Played 3.5 hours straight last night on the bay in Babylon NY. From Billy Joel to Jack Johnson, Santana to so many endless artists not only was the singing and guitar playing amazing, Matthew just had a way with connecting with an audience. Our guests won’t stop raving texting and calling us for his info. 11 stars out 5!! Amazing job, Matthew, we loved you.

I hired Matthew for my husbands surprise retirement party! He was amazing! He has a great voice! He sang a nice variety of music! My guest have been calling and texting me all day to tell me how great the music was! I would definitely recommend him ! He made my part a huge sucess!

5 hours straight no break seamlessly transitions from Sinatra to Zac Brown to Joel and Beatles and Motown and Disco holy cow this guy is a beast. Couldn’t believe that work ethic and high energy always at the appropriate moments, never overpowering and always fun and cool. This he makes look super easy and there is no one else we’ve ever seen like Matthew. Real deal. Hire immediately if you can!!

He was excellent!!!!!

We had a great experience with Matthew Cutillo. The music was really great and it made th Party even better. Thanks again.

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!

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.

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 gigsalad 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!!!!

We absolutely enjoyed having Matthew perform here last night! He was even better than the site said! We highly recommend him for any event!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Matt. The music for our wedding was perfect. He has a lot of class, which resulted in the music being a very important part of the wedding but not overpowering. As MC, he knew when to speak and when to just let the party flow, unlike so many DJ's who take over the wedding. It is unbelievable how many our guests came to us to rave about him and ask where we found him. If you are at all nervous about choosing someone to play at your wedding, worry no more - contact Matt!!! He is a wonderful musician and a wonderful person. There are no risks in choosing him!!

I found Matthew on Gigsalad and the first thing I noticed were his amazing reviews. In speaking with Matthew, his enthusiasm and passion for his music really stood out. I knew he would be the right performer for my husbands 40th surprise birthday party. Matthew did not disappoint! He arrived promptly and immediately began playing. My guests right away rushed to be to tell me how amazing Matthew was! Matthew played for 4 hours straight and mixed up a selection of genres that we had previously discussed. I am excited to know that I will see Matthew perform again because my friends and family plan on booking him for future events. Book Matthew- you will not be disappointed!

Undoubtably talented, professional, and passionate, Matthew Cutillo is truly an exemplary artist. I first sought his service when I decided to propose to my then girlfriend in New York city. After reading wonderful reviews of him and listening to his work, I decided to contact him. From our very first conversation, Matthew went above and beyond. Being that I had only been to New York once, I was having a hard time planning where and how I would go about proposing. Despite the fact that his only responsibility was to play music, Matthew actually ended up giving me suggestions that in the end turned out be the entire proposal. He spent hours on the phone with me discussing details that were not even music related. The same passion and enthusiasm with which he plays his music is the same passion and enthusiasm with which he goes about even the most minute of details. And, indeed, it is precisely this latter fact that makes Matthew everything that he is. He did not treat this as a job; rather, he treated it as though it were his own special moment. After a successful proposal, my fiancé told me that the spa day, new dress, new shoes, and gorgeous diamond were all beautiful, but what made the proposal everything it was, was Matthew's music.

Matthew was the best surprise for my husband's birthday!!! Angelo and I had planned his special party together so he knew all the details! I wanted to surprise him with something special!!! Matthew was that something special! His professionalism and attention to detail was beyond my expectations!!! He sang all the songs we love & never took a break! As a group of friends, we have been together for many years! We always break out in song and dance and Matthew completely made the difference and performed his heart out for us through every single song!! What an incredible person and a fantastic voice!! We were so lucky to have him at our party!! I can't say enough good things about him! We will absolutely hire him again!!! Every one there felt the same way!! We loved meeting him and singing with him!!! Thank you for letting us share your center stage of our patio!!! There was nothing better than singing & dancing under the stars with him!! Don't miss out on this one!! Music always enhances the party - but Matthew made it unforgettable!!! Unbelievable performance and so grateful he was part of our special evening dedicated to my sweet husband!! #BetterwithlivemusicbyMatt!!

He was on-time and ready to play promptly. He never took a break and interacted well with my guests. He read the crowd and played music appropriate to the moment. It was a delight to have Matt entertain the party! Highly recommended!!!

I hired Matthew to perform for my parents' 25th anniversary at my house to surprise the two of them. Although I contacted him with very short notice, my parents said he was an amazing performer and played my selected songs beautifully. They said it was the best present they've ever received!

Matthew was a big hit at my husband's party!!!! I'm so happy I booked him!!!!!

We had M. Cutillo play for our son's first birthday, he kept everyone entertained and all of my guests said that he was great.
He played a variety of children's songs as well as top hits from today!! I would recommend him for other private events. He brought his equipment and showed up on time to display his efforts of learning new children's songs.

Big thanks to Matthew Cutillo for the great music for our party. He was professional in all of his dealings with me and he did a great job on selecting the right songs for our party. He also took the time to learn a new special Venezuelan piece for the event. I would definitely book again and recommend him to others. If you use him, you won't be disappointed. Everything was perfect.

There's not much more to say other than how much more wonderful of a night our wedding was because of Matt's performance. He was nothing but professional, courteous and genuine through the whole process. Next time we're in the market for a similar performance, we know who to call.

BRAVO!

Josh & Dana

Great job by Matt. Exceeded my expectations and everyone on the boat loved him. Looking forward to using Matt in the future. I'm sure Matt will get new clients from this gig.

Matthew played at my mom's 60th surprise party and was nothing short of amazing. He played any and everything that was requested and really made the party something special. I would recommend Matthew to anyone that wants live music at their event. He was a pleasure to work with

Matt is one terrific entertainer, AND both accommodating AND accessible. Matt's performance of our wedding song, "If I Should fall Behind", a sing he had not sung before, was spot-on. We cannot recommend him more highly.

Matthew was wonderful for my parent's 50th wedding anniversary! He is a genuinely kind and considerate person. Great to work with and a talented musician!

I was looking for a musician as part of my proposal plan, and to be honest, didn't know where to really look for a reliable person. I came across gigsalad, and started reviewing musicians in NY, and stumbled upon Matt's profile. I shot out feelers to a few musicians, but only Matt got back to me in what felt like seconds. He was so genuine, upfront, affordable, and just an overall wonderful person to work with. He was as hands on or hands off as you wanted him to be with his involvement in planning. When he told me he would call, email, etc., he did. He showed up on time to the event, worked with my buddies in coordinating the setup, etc., and did an UNBELIEVABLE job. He sounded amazing, and you can tell how passionate and caring he truly is about his work. If you have an event, do yourself a favor and speak with Matt before deciding on anyone else. He is the most easy going, laid back individual, and I would use Matt again and again and recommend him to anyone in need of a musician.

Matthew was amazing and made my engagement truly something that my girl cherished and will remember for ever. He has so much passion and went beyond a professional performance. Will hire for life as a performer. Thumbs up a trillion times."

Quality and quantity of songs with an overall soft and warm venue was an absolute lock and key to our party. 8 to 80 everyone loved him. There are too many good things to say about Matt Cutillo Acoustic Entertainment. If anyone would like a complete description of my experience, please ask Matt for my email address so I can provide a proper reference.

Matt was fantastic! When I tell you that he read the mood, and played to it, without overpowering our crowd, I MEAN IT! It seemed almost choreographed! Do yourself and your event a favor, call Cutillo!

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!

We had Matthew come and play our annual Oktoberfest parties for a few years in a row. He was awesome! He played some authentic German music along with some of the most popular stuff out there today. He played the music we liked and played a few new songs that he had not previously played- not that we really even needed him to because he has a large repertoire of music that he already knew but that's just what he does well- fully satisfy the customers' requests. We plan to use him again when my wife and I renew our vows. He is a great artist and your party or event will be a huge hit by hiring him. Thanks for everything Matt!!

Learned a song for a surprise Valentine's performance last minute and nailed it. Goes above and beyond to make moment special and memorable.

Matt played for us last year at our Memorial day BBQ. Im pretty sure he knows more songs than a Juke box. He sounds incredible and is a total professional. I know 2 people that booked him after hearing him play our party. Dont hesitate or look for alternatives. This is your guy. Billy Joel. Elton. Joe Cocker. Beatles. And todays hits. What are you waiting for??

Matthew Cutillo is one of the best in his field! He sings so many styles so well, plays excellent acoustic and electric guitars, and is one of the coolest guys on the planet to work with! He is all about making his clients happy & making their event unforgettable. His hundreds of 5-Star reviews on GigMasters.com are well deserved! Hire him & you will NOT be disappointed! Guaranteed!

Matthew really made our party special. He plays EVERYTHING and plays everything well. Everyone at the party (aged from late 20's to early 70's) made requests and Matthew accommodated everyone. He has a terrific voice. Even more important, he is a really nice guy who likes what he does and wants to make your party as good as possible.

Matthew was very professional and appreciative before, during, and after the event that I booked him for. A good time was had by all! He played current rock music along with the classics. He also accomidated my guests by playing their requests. I would highly recommend him for an event.

"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!

Amazing performance, totally affordable. Great voice,what an entertainer
