I booked the Matt McCallie Orchestra for a client event and wanted to say how incredibly impressed I am with them! Matt was super easy to work with. The band showed up early and was flexible with the set up arrangement (they performed outside, in front of a business, with limited room and power). They have such a wide variety of songs – and catered to our requests for holiday music to go along with the event theme. The Matt McCallie Orchestra added so much to the event and we will definitely be working with them in the future!
Matt and orchestra,
We wanted to personally write and thank you for the unforgettable performance you and your musicians gave the night of our wedding reception!
This is a testimonial not only to you and your band’s amazing talents but also to the professionalism you brought throughout the preparations. Along with the music, the set up, lighting and sound, it was all a tribute to your knowledge and years of experience.
Our special evening was enhanced because of your band’s live performance! Everyone from 8 to 80 felt welcome and invited to celebrate on the dance floor with us. As you know, most guests stayed until close and did not want your classic full melodies to end.
Working closely with us throughout the process in finalizing our Song List was critical in creating just the right mood. The band’s live performance made all the difference in creating the perfect atmosphere.
The Matt McCallie Orchestra is truly a premiere entertainment act and I highly recommend your services to anyone considering making their special event memorable. Your portfolio, attention to detail and the passion you bring enhanced the celebration and joy of our special evening.
Thank you,
Ally and Matt
