Sweetlife's original songs are about life itself. All the ups, some of the downs, the good times and the times that put gray hairs on your head. Each will remind you of a time in your life, friends you have known and the sweet ride that it has been. And it's all done with style, grace and finesse.
Spending time with Sweetlife is a truly great, memorable and sweet experience.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!
We're so glad you asked us to sing for them!
:-)
Matt and Carol would be a GREAT addition to any event you may be planning. We just recently had them for our Valentine's Banquet at our church, and everyone LOVED them. Here it is a full two weeks after our banquet and I continue to get "they were great," "we loved them," and "great choice for the banquet." You will not be disappointed! They're genuine, and you can tell the love that they have for one another. They are VERY talented and their music library is vast. They respond quickly to emails and are very flexible. Seriously, you can stop searching for your entertainment, you found a gem right here!!!

Thank you for the kind words, Dave! It was an honor to play for your mother. She's a lot of fun! We love her spirit, and we hope she fully recovers soon! :-)
Matt & Carol were awesome! I surprised my daughter with a singing telegram in the morning before heading out to the Poconos. She was caught off guard and very surprised. Matt & Carol were the perfect fit for the surprise. Also, when they sing, they sing with their hearts and you can tell they love doing what they do. I would definitely recommend to family & friends and will have them again in the near future.
Thank you Matt & Carol! :* )
God bless you,

Thank you so much!!

I did not give them much notice, but they responded very quickly. They were also able to fit me into their already busy schedule. My mom and father loved it and they sounded great. They were very friendly and made the experience mean so much more. They also have a pretty big song selection and after the performance, they made time to say thank you and let my 11 month old daughter play a little guitar. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone.

It was a pleasure to work with Carol and Matt. They exude a wonderful attitude, present themselves very professionally, and are easy to work with. The music was beautiful, inspiring, and from the heart. I would recommend them to anyone!

Response from SweetLife Music:
You folks are WONDERFUL! What a beautiful event with a ministry that empowers people, providing the tools & a community to help them become all that God dreams for them to be. We were honored to be a small part of that. THANK YOU!
Matt and Carol were an absolute joy to work with. I really wanted to find music that was fun, romantic, and beautifully performed. I wanted the wedding ambiance to be festive and God-honoring at the same time. I was afraid I was not going to find musicians that would understand that. However, Sweetlife hit the nail right on the head. They have a very nice range with plenty to choose from and are very much willing to work on special requests. They also took care of announcements and emceeing. During the months leading to the event, they communicated with us very promptly to answer any questions. The whole process was easy and worry-free. I strongly encourage anyone looking for wedding or special event entertainment to consider the beautiful acoustic sounds of Sweetlife.

What a pleasure to meet you and your staff! We had so much fun entertaining your lunchtime guests!
Call on us any time!!
I have been 'partnering' with Matt and Carol for a couple years now, and they've never disappointed me, or my residents. They are fun, personable, flexible, and HIGHLY professional. I've recently moved from one facility to another, and as soon as I was settled, I 'brought them along' with me! If you have the opportunity to hire SweetLife Music, don't miss out!

What to Expect
Matt & Carol have a lot of fun onstage (and your audience will, too). Get ready to laugh at silly banter, cry over heart-warming stories, and sing along to well-loved favorites. Their smooth, sparkling harmonies and powerful emotion breathe new life into modern hits, traditional standards, hymns, and their own heart-warming songs celebrating real life and real love.
Carol’s charming voice brings to mind Amy Grant, Karen Carpenter, and Patsy Cline, while Matt’s voice and guitar build musical foundations of country, rock, folk, and jazz. Their style fits perfectly in almost any setting - from background instrumental music to a full concert. They're happy to draw from their vast song list to tailor-make your event.

About
Matt & Carol are married best-friends, performers, songwriters, worship leaders, music producers, and patriots based in Amish Country (Lancaster County, PA).
Since the 1980s, their music has carried audiences through laughter and tears, telling stories and moving them closer to the ones they love.
Their thriving tour schedule has taken them from New Jersey to Nashville, often performing at 300+ live events each year in PA and neighboring states for clients like the US Army and National Day of Prayer.
They're gifted speakers and performers, leading worship and giving Bible-based messages at churches, retirement communities, campgrounds, and more.
Soft, sweet harmonies, full guitar, and lyrics exploring worship, nostalgia, and encouragement take the listener for a ride through their memorable and moving songs about real life and love.
Speaking of songs, they have no idea how many they've written, but it's got to be close to a thousand - and they're still writing their own lifelong love story.
When not making beautiful music together, they enjoy traveling, staying home, and feeding their pseudo-pet, stray tomcat nicknamed Buddy.
Carol loves cooking PA Dutch meals, walking on the beach, and jigsaw puzzles.
Matt enjoys crosswords, Bible study, chocolate, and petting wiener dogs.
