HARDEST-WORKING: I am very confident that You simply can not find an entertainer who delves into the most minute detail and pours every ounce of their energy into Your Event the way I do. The keys to my success on GigMasters are passion & dedication.
TASTY & TASTEFUL: I live and breathe every song I interpret - having first picked up the guitar at 1 1/2 years old, this is my vocation and a sacred privilege. No stone to be left unturned, upon booking I will learn to play ANY song your heart desires; making your special day even more special is my M.O. treating EVERY PERFORMANCE as if it could be my last, hence client ratings... allow me to show you the way to a musical event to look back on and speak of fondly for decades to come. To me the small things all add up to a big picture: punctuality, class, cordiality and full attentiveness are the only things you'll receive other than the music.
A full-time MUSICIAN ON A MISSION; start to finish the eye & ear for detail you want: every aspect of your vision is my pleasure to realize - a great experience and a mind-blowing performance EVERY TIME ; the easy part of your event. For even more ease in the most rustic settings I use high quality battery-powered amplification ( i.e. outdoor weddings) to eliminate need for electric-outlet availability - I also use a 2,000 watt full-size PA system with sonic enhancement hardware for bigger events or a mid-size vocal / guitar amp perfect for backyards and living rooms.
HIGHLY-SKILLED & HARD-WORKING: change everything the day before the event and I will accomodate every last request. You are hiring a 100% PRO when you use my services who plays all week full-time.
First played on stage at age 12 and proceded to do many cover bands & solo acoustic performances until going to Europe at 22. Lived in Germany '94 to '04 & learned about hands-on musician work cutting CDs in high-end recording studios to playing at Wolter's Brauerei in Braunschweig for 20,000 and Berlin New Year's 2000 for 12,000 telecast throughout Germany & smoke-filled Irish pubs for small audiences - now appearing all over the US with GigMasters, I have led a very blessed musical life thus far with opportunities abound.
Besides singing hundreds of gigs on Germany's Irish Pub circuit solo on acoustic guitar I also studied classical guitar under master Joerg Schein, performed 70's pop on lead guitar / vocals in Holland, Turkey and Greece; playing countless galas, TV performances and FESTS in cities like Hamburg, Antalya, Athens, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich & Berlin to name only a few. I fronted numerous other formations performing disco, party, and pop rock covers and sang with several prominent German film-stars & artists in 2 of the biggest venues in Hamburg... STADTPARK & GROSSE FREIHEIT where the Beatles and Stones got their start and every big star still plays today.
I'm a lively performer, energetic and positive - most of all loving to see people have fun, let go and forget about their everyday lives; always performing encore sets regardless of pay, playing longer than scheduled for you when you and your guests want more. I'm becoming very well-known by my clients for non-stop 4 hour long marathon sets + encores - packed with great music appropriately & seamlessly transitioning from background to foreground, of course only if the event permits...
Thanks so much for your consideration, book me now and I will go every extra mile to make you glad you did.
Sincere best always,
Matthew J Cutillo

Feedback
- Matt Cutillo is ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING!!! After seeing performances at two parties, I reached out to him to request him to play at my wedding. From the first contact, Matt showed nothing but professionalism, warmth and dedication. He learned a somewhat obscure song that was important to my husband and I and he absolutely nailed it in a very short time! My guests made it a point to tell me how amazing he was throughout the ceremony and cocktail hour. I would highly recommend Matt for any type of function, as he has made every event I have seen him perfom at so enjoyable! -- Patricia M, Massapequa, NY, 5/4/2012
- It was an absolute pleasure working with Matthew Cutillo from the first moment we spoke. I hired him for my client based on having heard him in the past. He is a total professional, speaks wells, presents himself well, has a great personality and of course is an awesome entertainer! I am an event planner, and I will definitely use him in the future and for my own personal parties coming up. -- Leslie K, Locust Valley, NY, 5/12/2012
- From our initial contact from Matthew to his follow-up email after our event, he was a true professional. His genuine interest in making our event as special as possible made him an absolute pleasure to deal with. We requested a few songs only a few days before our event & he learned & played them to perfection. Matthew is a very talented individual & wonderful human being. It's hard to find a person as kind & considerate as he is. Matthew far exceeded our expectations & we would have given more stars if it was possible. Our guests were talking about him during the entire event & for days after. We highly recommend him & look forward to hiring him again soon!! -- Kevin H, Long Island, NY, 5/5/2012
- You were so amazing. You are a very talented young man and I know you are on a wonderful successful path in your career. I loved that some of the guests were dancing while you were playing.
All the guests truly commented on your talent. It definitely added to what I wanted to accomplish in this celebration for my son in law. I am sure that you will get some bookings from our party. That is the best thank you there is.
-- Robin G, Hewlett, NY, 5/5/2012

- Matt Cutillo is a great musician that sings with his soul and heart. Everybody at the wedding was in awe of how wonderful and personable he was. He played everything we asked and more. From the moment we hired Matt, we knew we had made a great choice. He had great communication throughout, was early to our cocktail hour, and was playing beautifully when we arrived. We could not have been happier. Matt would make a great addition to any wedding or party. Trust me. My wife and I couldn't have been happier. Thank you Matt for being part of the best day of our lives. 10 stars plus. Highly recommended!!!! -- Daniel E, Massapequa, NY, 3/16/2012
- Couldn't have asked for anything more.... Loved Matt -- Alison M, Hartford, CT, 3/7/2012
- As the Clubhouse Manager of a 55 and over community, it can sometimes be difficult to find talent which will appeal to this audience. Matt's performance last night, taking place in our Ballroom, was an absolute success! His genuine passion for his music and audience is clear and he connected with this goup of 70 people in a way I haven't seen before. There was dancing, clapping, singing along, and it was great. Matt spent time talking to all of the guests, taking requests, answering questions, and basically just made himeself available and very approachable. Thank you Matt and the Meadowbrook Pointe looks forward to future performances! -- Robin M, Long Island, NY, 1/20/2012
- Always a pleasure having Matthew Cutillo play at The Melting Pot in Farmingdale. Love the new guitars!! -- Rachel B, Farmingdale, NY, 1/13/2012
- Matthew exceeded my expectations and would recommend him highly. I booked Matthew only a two days before my wife's 40th birthday party at a restaurant. Matthew was extremely professional, entirely open to how the party would go and what music was played. In fact, he learned a number of new songs requested less than 24 hours before the show. In addition, he was able to play an incredible amount of songs that were being requested during the evening. He played an hour longer than he was contracted and was an important part of a highly successful evening. Thank you to Matthew, I'd use him again in a minute! -- Gardner H, Bridgeport, CT, 1/7/2012
- Mathew is very passionate about his music and his objective was to make the event so very special. Being a lesbian wedding, he worked diligent on our song list request, which included several female vocalist. Matthew exceeded our expectation in making our marriage very personal and very special. He was very accommodating, respectful and very intuitive of our wants and needs for the day. Words cannot express our gratitude for the surperb performance. -- Patrucia C, Farmingdale, NY, 1/5/2012
- Matt was wonderful, he even learned a song for us on 2 days notice. All of the guests commented on how great he was, he really made the party special!!!! Thanks so much!!! -- Lori W, Islip, NY, 1/1/2012
- Thanks for being part of our special day! If your looking for someone to get your wedding started on the right front look no further! From classical to rock, Matt played it all! -- Tony G, Woodbury, NY, 12/31/2011
- Matthew Cutillo was awesome at The Melting Pot in Farmingdale! What a great way to kick off the holidays! Can't wait for a great 2012 with Matthew! -- Rachel B, Long Island, NY, 12/23/2011
- What a night!!! Turned an ordinary dinner into a party!! Thanks for an amazing night! People were still talking about it at the wedding! -- Tony G, Westbury, NY, 12/29/2011
- Wow. Matt made our Holiday party the best one yet! He did everything you could ask for - played his heart out, listened to our play and don't-play song requests, and sang NON-STOP. Advice for anyone who needs a singer soloist - BOOK MATT NOW, and stock up on strong coffee - he operates on caffiene! He was as revved up at 2:00am as he was when he started - no signs of slowing down. This guy is amazing! His range of songs is huge and his talent is incredible. Usually, I get positive comments about the filet mignon hors d'oeuvres, the blazing firepit, or the peppermint martinis. This year, all of the raves from my guests were about Matt. -- Mike & Tracey T, Woodcliff Lake, NJ, 12/17/2011
- Matthew Cutillo was AWESOME at The Melting Pot in Farmingdale last night! -- Rachel B, Long Island, NY, 12/16/2011
- This is the first time our office Xmas party had entertainment and after Matt's performance I don't think we will have a party without him there. This was our best party! Every one of us from top to bottom had an amazing time! He played for 4 hours never taking a break... He satisfied every age group and took a wide variety of requests! The whole office can't wait for the next time we can hear him play!! A definite must hire, you won't regret choosing Matt!! -- Tony G, New York, NY, 12/15/2011
- Matt was phenomenal. I once again had the pleasure of Matt's perfomance at an annual Christmas party at my home. Matt has performed at this event for several years - 3, 4, or 5 years running. I have lost track. Prior to the party several guests had asked if he would be in attendace as they were looking forward to it. At this point he is now considered a "performing guest" as opposed to a hired performer. As long as he is willing, he will continue to be a mainstay for my event. Every guest commented on what a great ambiance he provided and how much of a special treat it was to hear him perform. His soulful voice and accompanying guitar playing were the perfect touch. -- Chris B, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 12/10/2011
- What an awesome night! Matthew Cutillo rocked it at The Melting Pot in Farmingdale last night - everyone had a blast!!!! -- Rachel B, Farmingdale, NY, 12/8/2011
- UNBELIEVABLE
His professionalism & personality is only surpassed by musical talent. To see how this man presents himself, look up PERFECTION in Websters.
From the first conversation, through every text and call thereafter, Matt was SUPERB. It is not enough to say that if he is available for your event, book him. If not, change your day, he is that SPECIAL.
Guests were in AWE and commented on how well he blended into the room. He made each song his own, a true ARTIST. So many still are raving.
What a truly WONDERFUL man and spirit. Total JOY to have met and will definitely use again!!!! See you soon...
-- Tim M, Stewart Manor, NY, 9/10/2011

- 5 Stars!!! Matthew played at our wedding at Bubby's in Brooklyn, NY on 10-15-11 and he was excellent in every way possible. He did such a great job! My guests gave us so many compliments for choosing such a great guitarist. He was extremely professional, granted every request we had, and we were extremely satisfied with his performance. We honestly couldn't have asked for anything more. The sound was perfect, not too loud or soft, and the songs he played for our ceremony were absolutely beautiful. I felt so special walking down the aisle to his music. It was very touching. We strongly recommend him to anyone and everyone! Enjoy! Andrea & Miguel -- Andrea M, Brooklyn, NY, 10/15/2011
- The event Mr. Matthew Cutillo performed at was my parents 50th wedding anniversarycelebration. He is a 5 star professional who played both instrumental guitar and accompanied at times by singing selected or recommended songs. When we spoke about the event several times it was ultimately him who offered certain musical selections and his advice further enhanced the event for us all. I would highly recommend Mr. Cutillo. -- Theresa T, Oakdale, NY, 10/8/2011
- Matt was amazing to deal with and exceeded all of our expectations! He was completely accomodating with any and all of our requests, learned new songs for the wedding, and sounded amazing! Plus, he was an absolute pleasure to deal with which is so important on such a stressful day. I would recommend him to anyone for any event!! -- Amy V, Vernon, NJ, 10/1/2011
- Super guy and very talented. Matthew was so easy to work with. We highly recommend Matthew. All of our guests raved about Matt. Simply put, he's the best! -- Christopher P, Melville, NY, 9/24/2011
- Matthew was beyond 5 Stars! Easy communication with everything, he set up long before the cocktail hour began, and played until the last guests left the room. ALthough my wife and I were only in the room for a few songs, what we heard was excellent. Also, throughout the party, guests were saying how great the music was for the cocktail hour. I have already received requests for Matthew's information that I will be happy to pass along. Matthew's a great talent and kind person, book him and you will not have to worry about a thing! -- Alex C, Lindenhurst, NY, 9/17/2011
- Matthew performed at my daughters first birthday party. Everyone loved him, both the kids and adults. He arrived early and played the entire time. He did a great job. Prior to the event he was very accessible and receptive to requests. I would definitely hire him again. As a matter of fact, a few of my guests asked him for his info so they could hire him as well!
-- Raquel L, South Orange, NJ, 9/17/2011
- Matthew played the guitar and sounded amazing. Everyone came up to me to tell me how awesome he was. I would absolutely recommend him to everyone. I hope I can use him in the future. We are so happy with everything he did. THANKS MATT!!!
Kim and Chris Horton -- Kim K, Ocean Beach, NY, 9/16/2011
- From the time we booked our cocktail hour with Matthew to the actual day of the wedding, he was AMAZING! His professionalism and talent are beyond incredible. I can not say enough nice things, he was my favorite person to work with throughout the entire wedding process and I was so glad to have him as part of the big day. Matthew was on time (actually early!) and played exactly what we asked him to play. I would recommend Matthew to anyone and everyone! I hope to be able to utilize his incredible talent again soon! -- Lindsey M, Lindenhurst, NY, 9/10/2011
- Matthew was by far the most responsive vendor you will work with. He is dedicated (will learn to play any song for you), accomodating and just over all a cool guy. He is awesome with the guitar and has a great voice. We had him play for our ceremony and cocktail hour which is about 1.5 hours, but he gets there over 2 hours early to set up and even played music while we were taking pre-ceremony photos and setting things up. You will not regret choosing Matthew. -- George S, Port Washington, NY, 9/4/2011
- Matthew was Amazing and everyone was Telling us how great he was. We are so happy that we chose him for our wedding. He learned a song the morning of our wedding i requested last minute and nailed it. Thank you So much, we cannot say enough great things about Matt, Five stars all the way. XOXOX Love, Billy and Amanda -- Amanda G, New York City, NY, 8/21/2011
- Matthew was awesome. He was able to play non traditional music like Sweet Child of Mine and We're Jamming for my ceremony but made it sound classy and fun. He was highly recommended and I know why. I would recommend him in a heart beat. He actually played an acoustic version of a song that is meaningful to my now husband and I. He practiced for weeks to make it perfect - it just doesn't get better than that.
Thank you Matt for all your hard work. You made my wedding day unique, special and fun - everything I wanted it to be.
G&C -- Gigi M, Bayville, NY, 8/20/2011
- Hi Matthew
Before we left for the honeymoon we just wanted to write and say thanks again for everything on Sunday! With all the excitement of the day we may not have gotten to truly express our gratitude! The ceremony was beautiful- you made it a day to remember. We are so grateful that we found you, we couldnt imagine it any other way. I will always remember walking down the aisle, seeing my husband and hearing your voice, singing somewhere over the rainbow. Thank you for that memory. It was everything I had hoped and more, it was like a dream!
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Now its off to Costa Rica!
~Laura
-- Laura M, Narragansett, RI, 8/14/2011
- What an amazing choice we made in selecting Matthew for my 40th birrthday party! Matthew is an extremely professional and superbly talented musician. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed his performance and many commented how impressed they were with Matthew's diverse repertoire of songs and musical genres. Outside of his musical talent, Matthew is just an all-around friendly, positive and sincere person. He is the type of person you would want at any party you were hosting - he brings great energy to the scene and was wonderful at integarting seamlessly with our friends. Thank you Matthew for a wonderful and memorable performance!! -- Kelly J, Southport, CT, 8/13/2011
- Matthew Cutillo is the real deal:talented,professional,personable & reliable.I hired him to play a wedding & he FAR exceeded my expectations.He was attentive & easy to contact,responding within minutes,each time.Aside from being a great musician,he is a genuinely nice guy,& really cares about your event.The day of the wedding,he showed up early to set up & practice.I think he sounds better in person than the recordings on here.Our guests commented on how nice the music was,even the Reverend said that he was awesome.He knew a wide range of songs & played anything we asked for and more.My only regret was that we missed 1/2 the cocktail hour & didn't get to hear more. -- Jenni F, Asbury Park, NJ, 8/12/2011
- Dear Matthew,
You were just wonderful! I have gotten rave reviews from everyone. Dispite the horrible weather you managed to keep the party going! You smiled with each move out of the RAIN!

Thank you so much!

Thank you Mathew for another successful job together. -- Brian K, Woodbury, NY, 7/31/2011
- We had the pleasure of having Matt entertain us at our daughter's graduation party. Matt is an amazing artist and a consummate professional. He was booked for 3 hours and ended up playing nearly 4 hours with one 10 minute break. Amazing set list, great rapport with the crowd, and took the time to learn a special song, where he allowed my wife to join in for a duet. Our friends and family could not rave enough about Matt’s performance.
Matt, thank you for making our night special and memorable.
Gary, Donna & Alyssa
-- Gary J, Centereach, NY, 7/30/2011

We'll be hiring him again for any future family event :) Thanks Matt!!!! -- Christina V, Hartsdale, NY, 7/29/2011
- Matthew was the perfect addition to our summer event. The variety was great considering the age groups we had in attnedance and everyone enjoyed his acoustical guitar during coctails and during dinner. The volume was just right! We cant wait to have him back agian next year!thanks again Matthew it was a pleasure, as always, working with you again! -- Brittney V, Scarsdale, NY, 7/19/2011
- I have nothing but rave reviews for Matt who performed our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. Aside from a couple requests, we gave him flexibility to do his thing and make our wedding fun and causual; great decision. He was at the wedding venue before I was (I was super early), set up and ready to go. Obviously, I didn't hear the entire ceremony, but heard he was great. As for the cocktail reception - again, rave reviews from us and our guests. Tons of people were asking where we found him and where he was from. He went out of his way to learn a couple songs for us. Last but never least, he is a total sweetheart and you'll feel inclined to hug him. -- Allison W, Skaneateles, NY, 7/16/2011
- WOW!!!!! Matthew was awesome! He is such a wonderful person and his natural talent as a musician is just amazing! He was very professional and brought the party to the next level!You will not be dissapointed if you book him!I would recommend him 100% I am looking forward to having him at my next gig!
Janine McLoughlin -- Janine M, East Hampton, NY, 7/9/2011
- Matthew was very professional, he arrived at the venue well before the start time to make sure he was set up before the guests could arrive.
He was great to work with and will definitly be using him again! -- Freddy K, Woodbury, NY, 7/9/2011
- Matthew made our wedding! Without him it would not have been the same! I would HIGHLY recommend him. He has something for everyone. He is an amazing musician, a true professional, and an asset to any event you might have. All of my guests were talking about him during our reception! I will be hiring him again! -- Bj A, Nyack, NY, 7/3/2011

- This was our second time booking Matthew through gigmasters. For my birthday party, I simply didn't get enough listening time. This get-together was a casual evening for only five of us, and Matthew shines whether in a crowd of 60 or a patio of 5. We enjoyed getting the chance to talk with him before songs and, of course, he happily met all of our many requests. Matthew is always professional, warm and of course extremely musically talented, but most importantly, he's an amazing guy that is fun to hang out with! We were so truly blessed to have him at both of our events. Thank you Matthew! Keep doing what you do it makes so many people so very happy. -- Linda H, Malvern, PA, 6/30/2011
- Matt is the best! He's super talented and the crowd at our house party just loved him! Highly recommended for a truly entertaining evening! Thanks again Matt! -- Kelly C, Massapequa, NY, 7/1/2011
- I hired Matthew to perform at my engagement party and it was the bbessssttttt decision I have ever made! Matthew is a gifted individual who sings and plays the guitar like a true genius. He is professional, talented and an overall sweet and genuine man! He made the party and without him it wouldn’t have been the same! He is very reliable and there to cater to your needs! Everyone @ the party was so impressed with his talents. I will definitely be hiring him for another party! I feel I made a friend for life. Thanks Matthew, you’re the BEST!!!!
-- Christina M, Brooklyn, NY, 6/25/2011
- We are never dissapointed with Matthews performance. He is such a talented musician and he is very entertaining. We can't wait to book him for our next event. -- Matthew L, Stowe, VT, 6/25/2011
- Our 1st dance was a huge hit not only due to Matthew's musical talentin learning our song from scratch to perfection, but also b/c he implemented MP3 drafts and email correspondences to accomodate us and keep us posted. A techny savvy musician in this day & age. His superb work ethic deeply impressed our guests. His diverse musical retertoire ranged from classical instrumentals (ceremony) to our 50's-60's retro themed reception, capped with a playful Sweet Caroline for our Red Sox theme. In short, Matthew has it all. And he did it without stealing the spotlight (which he easily could have) but by making ours that much brighter. Thank you Matthew - You are "DA MAN"! -- Charles R, New York, NY, 6/19/2011
- Matthew was so professional throughout the entire planning process! He is extremely talented and everyone enjoyed listening to him at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. -- Marcella B, Jersey City, NJ, 6/17/2011
- Matthew is a genuine artist! He is amazingly talented and created such an awesome atmosphere. Matthew is a gem of a person and very easy to work with. With constant communication from the time of booking until the day of our party, Matthew is a true professional, who really wants to make his clients happy. I will without a doubt request Matthew for all of my events! One thousand thanks!
-- Tai F, Teaneck, NJ, 6/16/2011

- Not only does Matt possess a great musical talent, he also has a genuine enthusiasm to deliver the most professional performance (and he did!). -- Nat B, New York, NY, 6/13/2011
- Matthew exceeded every expectation I had for my event. He is absolutely gifted as a musician, which is obvious, felt & heard, but is also so incredibly professional, kind and accommodating. He was incredibly thorough before the event in anticipating any and all needs, and was so easily reachable to answer all questions. I am still receiving so many compliments from all of my guests... many are trying to book him for their own special occasions. Matthew's talent and genuine nature are the perfect combination. He truly made my event unique and memorable. -- Linda H, Philadelphia, PA, 6/11/2011
- Matt made our wedding ceremony so gorgeous and special. He composed songs that I requested and made them so amazing. He even recorded the songs for us and sent them within 48 hours as mp3s so that we could enjoy them after the wedding. His calming demeanor made the process of planning a wedding so easy and stress-free. Above all, he is a genuinely caring person who added a positive energy to the entire ceremony. Would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone!!! -- Shauna L, Montauk, NY, 6/4/2011
- P-E-R-F-E-C-T ! Matt was the absolute perfect addition to our cocktail party. He played continuously from our first guest’s arrival to our last guest’s departure. And with Matt’s playing, we definitely had some late leavers! Stop stressing about what food to serve at the party. Serve up some Matt Cutillo and your party is a guaranteed success. He was completely professional and completely accommodating. Big thanks to Matt for making our night so wonderful. -- Jeanmarie G, Basking Ridge, NJ, 6/2/2011
- The consummate pro! Within an hour of entering my request, he called and we had a great conversation. I had a special song I hoped he could play and I think he learned it just for us. He played at our sunrise wedding, later at our brunch and again in the afternoon when we had a cocktail party. His catalogue is immense and covers a wide array of genres and tastes. He quickly became a member of our family and I have no doubt our paths will cross again. He provided context to a very important, intimate event for our family and we're grateful for his talent and contribution. I have no qualms whatsoever in wholeheartedly recommending Matthew for your event. Two thumbs up! -- Stephen W, Stone Harbor, NJ, 5/29/2011
- Matthew Cutillo was wonderfful at our son's communion. He was a pleasure to deal with and really added something special to our celebration. One of our guests is even looking to book him for their parents Anniversary party. -- Kristina O, Amityville, NY, 5/21/2011
- Extraordinary! Matthew Cutillo performed at a fundraiser for pediatric cancer research, playing his guitar and singing songs that appealed to all who attended this event, no many their age. It was especially heart rendering that he took special care to sing favorite songs of those who had lost their loved ones to pediatric cancer, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and "Borrowed Angels," as well as other requests. Not a dry eye was in the crowd, listening to his beautiful melodic voice, a voice that spoke from his heart and soul.
Consider hiring Matthew Cutillo as a performer at your next event. G-d has given him special gifts to share.
-- Michele R, Riverhead, NY, 5/14/2011

- Matt sounded great and has a very wide range of music that he can play. He also makes sure that his audience is very involved by taking requests and tries to be as accomodating as possible. The Village Idiot is looking forward to having Matt rock the house again!!! -- John S, Patchogue, NY, 4/16/2011
- Matt was a true professional artist and gentlemen. His continuous play filled the room and got he crowd in the festive mood. His song election was vast and wide and there was a crowd pleaser for all party goers.
Russell -- Russell M, Melville, NY, 4/13/2011

- Matt did a fantastic job at our wedding Cocktail hour. Every time we went to a differnt table to say hi to Family or friends, they kept telling us how GOOD Matt was. This is the third time our family has used Matt and we strongly recommend him for any event. -- Kevin K, Smithtown, NY, 3/26/2011
- Matt helped me out with a suprise proposal to my now fiancee, in Central Park.
He was an absolute professional.
Matt helped when gigmasters wouldn’t work for me. He had suggestions in case the weather didn't hold up on the day, and he played some extra tracks afterwords while my partner composed herself.
More importantly he was a pleasure to deal with and really helped make our day even more special.
He played all the songs I requested beautifully.
He comes with my highest recommendation, you genuinely couldn’t find a nicer guy to deal with.
-- Stuart M, New York, NY, 3/11/2011
- Great communications up front by email to manage some specific requests and learn one of the set songs. Matthew was professional and accommodating throughout. Good clips available on YouTube to get a feel for his performance and style. On the day he braved biting New York winds in February to perform at Strawberry Fields in Central Park. Managed to keep his fingers moving to play a three song set for a proposal to my girlfriend. As planned, I joined in with vocals for the second song, forgot the words, but like a trooper Matthew played on. The performance made the whole experience personal and special. A true gentleman, thoughtful, wonderful guy and great performer. -- Graham W, New York, NY, 2/19/2011
- Matt was great ! The parents and kids at the party all loved him !! -- Elizabeth D, Garden City, NY, 2/16/2011
- Matt performed at our wedding in MA on 12/31/10. The event occurred without any problems. He arrived, setup, performed any specifics that were requested right on cue, with absolute professionalism. We had a few friends that attended the wedding who are musicians themselves who commented about Matt's performance endurance. Our event was 5 hours, with classical guitar during dinner and everything else for the rest of the evening. Matt was easy to reach, returned calls immediately, and was agreeable to a change in location without any headaches. I would definitely recommend him for any event, you will not be disappointed. Feel free to contact me at fortiter00@yahoo.com -- Laura , Lenox, MA, 12/31/2010
- Matt made our cocktail hour wonderful!!! He palyed a variety of songs that made everyone happy. We would certainly use him again!! -- Nanine C, Bay Shore, NY, 12/30/2010
- Matt absolutely MADE our party! He is a true professional - very talented and extremely respectful, caring and concerned that everything goes exactly as the client envisions. This is the second time we have had the pleasure of his efforts at our holiday party, and I'm sure I'll have requests to have him again. He fit right in and got everyone involved and in the mood while allowing for conversation and eating at the appropriate times. I really appreciated that he is never a prima donna, and that he insisted on playing the entire time except for a short break. Who could ask for more? -- Kenneth E, Fairfield, CT, 12/19/2010
- Matt was a fantastic addition to my dad's 60th birthday! He is talented, courteous, reliable and a lot of fun. He totally read the crowd and played to the group, and at the perfect level as not to hinder dinner conversation. He was more than happy to stay longer and only took a break when we insisted. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for party entertainment. -- Carrie R, Manhasset, NY, 12/18/2010
- Matt did a great job at our holiday party! He showed up early, stayed late and did a great job in feeling out the mood of the party. I would definitely hire Matt again! -- Chris C, Chatham, NJ, 12/11/2010
- We hired Matthew to play at our after party and he was fantastic. We had a song request that we gave him a week prior to the event and he learned it perfectly. Matthew was very professional and accomodating. He even moved his things to the lobby to play while we waited for the bus to arrive at the end of the evening. We couldn't say enough good things about him.
Thank you for a great experience! -- Lauren N, West Paterson, NJ, 12/10/2010
- Matthew was great from beginning to end. He was professional, talented, accommodating and knew how to successfully read the crowd. Numerous people at the party commented on how great he was and how much they enjoyed his music. I would undoubtedly look to book him again and suggest to others that they consider booking him as well. -- Tim R, New York, NY, 12/8/2010
- Matt was a total pleasure. He is an exceptionally accommodating artist. He answered all of my e-mails quickly and never hesitated to assist me with any of my special requests. He was also gracious with the audience and made them feel relaxed and cheerful. In addition, Matt is an extremely talented musician and many of the guests hoped he would return for other functions. His music added just the right touch to the occasion. I simply could not have been more elated about having chosen Matt as our entertainment. I would recommend Matt to anyone who wishes to have beautiful music performed by a considerate, good-natured professional. Applause! Applause! Thank you, Matt -- Janet B, Stony Brook, NY, 12/7/2010
- This was my second consecutive year asking for the pleasure of Matthew to perform at an annual Christmas party at my home (75+ guests). The party was a resounding success and Matthew's musical contribution was arguably the biggest reason. Returning guests were excited to see him again, and new guests commented that his live musical talents truly set the tone for the party. He personally greeted several guests that he remembered from the previous year, further demonstrating his professionalism and commitment to his craft. Matthew will undoubtedly be a staple of any future parties, and I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in having live music for an event. -- Chris B, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 12/4/2010
- Matthew was such a fabulous part of our wedding. Our one regret was that he was such a small part in terms of time. We booked him to play prior to the ceremony as guests arrived and to play our processional as well as a piece during the ceremony. My husband and I didn't get enough time to enjoy him, but we heard such fantastic feedback from our guests and they thought he was extremely talented. We cant wait to have another event where we can book Matthew and actually listen!
We changed our minds a few times on the selections and Matthew was completely flexible and never treated anything like it was a problem. We would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone! -- Nancy W, Peconic, NY, 12/4/2010
- Matthew was absolutely outstanding. We booked him for an office holiday party and I can credit him with making what used to be a 'nice' holiday party into a great one. Matthew has a great voice, he played the right mix of songs, at just the right volume to a very diverse group of people. He played just about the entire time he was there with hardly a break. Matthew is a delight to work with and very accomodating. We gave him some requests before the party, and he played them beautifully. BOOK HIM FOR YOUR NEXT PARTY. I know I will definitely call on him again!!!
-- Anita G, Babylon, NY, 12/3/2010
- I had Matt play for my 40th birthday party. I had 120 guests and everyone loved Matt. He played all night and was fabulous. Having Matt for the party really brought the celebration to the next level it made the evening even more special. If you are considering hiring Matt go ahead without any worries. You will not be disappointed.
Jeanne Allen -- Jeanne A, Babylon, NY, 11/27/2010
- This was the second party we hired Matthew for. When my guests started arriving to the affair, they were so pleased to see we had hired the same singer. Once again, he did an absolutely fabulous performance. He didn't stop playing for the entire 4 hours, and he totally knows how to read the crowd. Matthew is so concerned about keeping his clients happy and will do whatever it takes to make sure your party is a great success. He even learned a song for us, that he had never played before, so that he could play it at the party b/c it had special meaning to us. Thank you so much for everything Matthew. You really are the BEST!!!! -- Amber M, Port Washington, NY, 11/21/2010

If this is the type of entertainment you are looking for, I guarantee you will not find any better. He is a true professional and an honorable man. Matthew comes highly recommended and I'm sure we will be seeing him again at our next event.
Thank you Matthew! -- Deanna V, Jersey City, NJ, 11/13/2010

He not only showed up on a moments notice but gave me a performance that was perfect! I would definitely use him for my next event and if I dont have one coming up soon I will make one up just to hear him perform again. -- Tony G, New York, NY, 10/14/2010
- Matthew was very profession and showed up early to set up, found a great place to perform for our outdoor ceremony, and brought all his own equipment. He learned a few extra songs we requested for our ceremony that sounded beautiful. Our guests loved him and complimented his ability and his awesome guitars were a hit! We are very satisfied with choosing him to play our ceremony and cocktail hour music and will gladly recommend his talent and enthusiasm. Thank you for adding beautiful music to our amazing day! -- Debra F, Miller Place, NY, 10/10/2010

We loved him ! -- Jennifer A, Scarsdale, NY, 10/9/2010
- Matthew was the perfect choice for our wedding: he played three requested songs during our ceremony to absolute and utter perfection. Leading up to the big day, he was exceedingly accommodating, and his communication was second to none.
A number of our guests noted how wonderful Matthew was during our ceremony. I can't recommend him enough- he's talented, professional, and most importantly: with Matthew, your event is not just a date on a calendar- it's a deeply personal and important moment that he invests his time and soul into.
Thank you, Matthew.
Amanda & Ian -- Amanda F, Philadelphia, PA, 10/2/2010
- We found Matthew at the last minute and are so thankful we did. We planned our wedding in less than 3 months time so were pretty stressed out. From the moment we found Matthew, we just knew he would be perfect. He has an amazing personality and really made us feel at ease. We let him do his thing and he did it perfectly. We had many guests asking about him that want to use him in the future. I would recommend Matthew to anyone. -- Dana D, Rumson, NJ, 10/2/2010
- Matt played at our daughter's christening celebration. This is the second time we hired him (he also played at our wedding after party) and he is awesome!!

- Matt is a true professional and an excellent musician and singer. He was extremly easy to work with. He is very profeesional and a fine person. I wouuld highly recommend Matt to anyone that would ask. -- Claude C, Philadelphia, PA, 9/11/2010
- Matt was great to work with. Accommodating, professional and very talented. I hired him for my husbands 40th. While there were other seemingly talented musicians that I considered, and in most cases less expensive, none of them had the follow up that allayed my fears about hiring a sight unseen musician for my husbands party. There really aren't enough good things to say about Matt other than you won't be disappointed if you hire him for your event. Good luck to you Matt, you were a pleasure to have at our home. -- Pam W, Waltham, MA, 9/10/2010
- Matt was the perfect performer for my wedding- could not have imagined better. He is an amazing musician and really knew how to play to the crowd. EVERY guest commented how great he was. He helped my guests with their speeches, involved them in performances and accepted their requests. He really paid attention to who we are. He went above and beyond from the day we hired him til the day of the wedding. He helped us make song selections, learned new songs for us and kept up with all our last minute changes. My friends gave a speech saying how I feel like life should have background music and Matt gave me just that for a perfect wedding! - Amy 9/5/2010 -- Amy F, Peabody, MA, 9/5/2010
- Matthew was simple amazing. Not only did he record clippings of what I asked to be played during the ceremony- he also went out of his way to accomdate all of my special requests.
He arrived into to town hours early and was SO easy to work with. I was lucky to find him on gigmasters and he helped make our Wedding Ceremony and cocktail hour all that we wanted it to be.
I would recommend Matthew in a heartbeat. He is a wonderful musician and person. -- Miranda M, Saint Albans, VT, 9/4/2010
- Matthew was great. Definitely book him if you are having a aparty -- Greg P, Fairfield, CT, 9/3/2010
- I needed to put something together for a special, once more in a life time celebration. With only one week to go, I put my request in through Gigmaster's, and promptly heard back from Matthew. I just had an immediate connection with Matthew, and felt he completely understood what I had in mind. The rest is history. From initial contact, to final celebration's end; He hit the mark I wanted, and my family and I have been left with the highest feelings and memory. -- Karl R, Montauk, NY, 9/1/2010
- Matthew Cutillo is phenomenal. We hired him to perform our wedding ceremony and reception and we could not be more pleased. Not only is he one of the nicest people I've met, he is humble and attentive, responding to my emails always within 5-10 minutes and granting every single request I've asked of him. He learned songs for me, and sent demos before the event. It was clear that he really thought about and prepared his performance in advance. I knew Matthew was talented, but when he closed our wedding with the perfect song to define our true selves and personalities, I was beside myself. He is just brilliant. Christina C., New York, NY, 8/31/10 -- Christina R, New York, NY, 8/29/2010
- Matt was amazing...His communication from the very beginning made me feel at ease. He arrived well before our scheduled time, was proffessional, and exceeded all of my hopes in an artist. He truly was the "life " of the party. He even personilized our event by learning a a new song in 2 days! AMAZING!!!!After our event, everyone asked for his info...EVERYONE!!! I am so happy he was part of such a special day! -- Stacy D, Seaford, NY, 8/29/2010
- Matt was amazing to work with. Great partner, offered wonderful ideas and made the party. -- Kelly M, Towson, MD, 8/28/2010

- Matt is the ultimate professional! This was the second time that he played a party for us and we were just as pleased this time if not more. Everyone at the party was commenting on his talent and inquiring about hiring him for their parties. His songs were classic to contemporary and he also took requests. We will be calling Matt first, each time we are having music at a party from now on and I'm sure our friends and family will too.
Thanks again, Matt

- My experience with Mr. Cutillo was more than I could have hoped for. I didn't have the usual 'event' for him to play as I asked him to learn a new song & place those lyrics into another song with some twists. I had him create for me a very special wedding song that I will use for my upcoming wedding. The song turned out absolutely perfect. Mr. Cutillo kept me informed of the project's progress, provided samples, asked for feedback at each step, went above and beyond the request with mixing and instrumentation. Mr. Cutillo never forgot all of my 'demands' and came through with shining lyrics! I highly recommend Mr. Cutillo for your musical project. -- Josh T, Cleveland, OH, 7/28/2010
- Working with Matthew was a dream! He was recomended by one of the partners in our firm and Matthew did not disappoint! Our event had to be rescheduled due ot weatehr and Matthew was so accomdating.

The day after our event everyone was asking me about him and commenting how his playing made the event complete. I cannot recomend Matthew enough. We will definitly have him back to one of our functions! -- Brittney V, Scarsdale, NY, 7/27/2010
- Matt was great. He was able to size up my guests and tailored his music to accommodate his audience. He arrived on time and played music for long periods of time with minimal breaks. Everyone at the party thought he was very talented. He also took requests and had a large repertoire of music he was able to play. -- Christine G, Massapequa, NY, 7/17/2010
- Matthew was definitely a great addition to our wedding ceremony! We couldn't have asked for a more talent and professional musician to play during our ceremony. The music was beautiful and we've received so many compliments from our friends and family. Additionally, Matthew went out of his way and gave my uncle his own tie for the event! He is the epitome of accommodating! Matthew, we thank you so much for making our wedding day so memorable! -- Denise K, Great Neck, NY, 7/10/2010
- Extremely professional. Took great care of our ceremony.
Matthew did not let us worry about anything.

I booked him for my party based on other reviews I read here on gigmasters(as well as his extensive and diverse song list); I was not disappointed! I highly recommend Matthew for your next party.

- When I hired Matt for my father's 60th Birthday Surprise party, I had very high expectations based on previous reviews and clips on the website of some of his work. Matt exceeded these high expectations big time. He did a great job playing the songs and sticking to the genre I requested (oldies, beatles, rolling stones, etc). He did a fantastic job of learning and perfecting specially requested songs. I would not hesitate to use Matt again and would tell anyone looking for a musician for a party that their search ends here. Plain and simple Matt is the best. Thanks Matt for making this big event so much fun and entertaining. -- Gregory P, Mineola, NY, 1/2/2010

Matthew is very accommodating and a consummate professional. My guests were amazed that he knew so many fun songs, and he played and played and played!! I would strongly recommend Matthew Cutillo to anyone who wants their party to be an absolute success. We can't wait to have him back again this summer. Our friends would expect nothing less!

- Matthew exemplified professionalism throughout the course of our dialogue and during his performance. He performed during a party at my home for around 85-100 people and delivered EXACTLY what I had hoped for. He engaged the guests and provided a very special musical atmosphere throughout the party. Furthermore, Matthew made it a point to focus upon his performance and minimized any breaks or downtime during the event. During the scheduled 4 hour performance, he took only 2 very brief breaks totalling no more than 15 minutes. Many of my guests requested his contact information, and I would certainly ask him to perform at future events. -- Chris B, Englewood Cliffs, NJ, 12/12/2009

Matt is an accomplished musician. He had requested a playlist in advance of the party, and added those songs to his repetoire. He was pleasant and agreeable throughout the afternoon, and provided a very pleasant background to the party. The guests were happily surprised by the addition of music, and by Matt's ability. -- Rosemary P, Amityville, NY, 11/15/2009
- My husband and I are so happy that we had Matthew Cutillo perform at our wedding ceremony. We are truly grateful that we were able to have such a talented musician perform for us and our guests on such a special day. Matthew was more than accomodating to our requests and delivered a performance that exceded our expectations. His kind personality comes through in his music and he created such a wonderful and positive atmosphere. Our guests kept telling us (even well after the ceremony) how awesome Matthew was. I would recommend him to anyone and can't wait until my next big event so I can book him again...an anniversary party maybe?:) Amy & Dan, married 11/7/09 -- Amy B, Stratford, CT, 11/7/2009

Matt's passion for music was apparent and we hope we have an occasion for him to entertain us again soon! -- Caryn C, Melville, NY, 11/1/2009
- Matthew performed far beyond our expectations at a recent birthday party. From cocktail hour through his fifth encore song almost four hours later, he entertained almost nonstop with great guitar and cool lyrics.

- We had Matthew perform yesterday for our son and daughter-in-law’s wedding celebration. I have to admit that I was a little apprehensive about hiring him since we never heard him perform live before. I found him to be very polite and accommodating and a wonderful person. After hearing him perform, he was everything we hoped for and more. His playing abilities, as well as his wonderful voice made our event ever so special. I felt like he was part of our family. He went above and beyond what I could have expected. He was truly a pleasure to deal with, and I would gladly hire him again. Thank you, Matt! You were awesome! Jeanette & Frank, Bklyn, NY 10.04.09
-- Frank F, Brooklyn, NY, 10/4/2009
- This was the 2nd year we had Matt play our party & he was really great. He gave us an excellent performance. Everyone at the party had a great time with him & you could tell he was really enjoying himself as well. He was very accommodating by coming early and giving us an encore. He spent some time before our party learning some new songs for us which was really appreciated. He even told us he would record a copy of one of them because we liked it so much. Overall, our party was a huge success in no small part due to Matt's talents. We will definitely use him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone who's looking to have a fun and entertaining event! -- Matthew L, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, 10/3/2009
- It was a pleasure to work with Matthew. He was friendly, reliable, helpful, and extremely talented. He arrived at the ceremony very early so he was ready to play well before people entered the chapel. After the ceremony my wife and I were told by numerous people that his music was absolutely beautiful. For anyone considering using Matthew Cutillo you need to look no further, he is your man. Thank you Matthew !

- Matthew was AMAZING! We used Matt for our ceremony & cocktail hour at our wedding and have heard nothing but wonderful compliments about him- even the reception hall could not stop talking about how great this guy was. Every question I emailed Matt with, he responded to me within minutes. Any special request I had- was completely fulfilled perfectly. He was the ONLY vendor I hired that really cared about "our wedding". His complete dedication, respect, professionalism and remarkable talent would make me recommend Matt to anybody with complete confidence that he would give them the exact same experience as he gave us.

- Matt did an excellent job at a Brunch for our son and daughter-in-law who recently got married.
He arrived early and continued playing until almost everyone left the event, which was way past his booking time.
Matt is extremely talented. Many of our guests compared him to James Taylor. He tried very hard to please everyone. Matt is someone who truly loves what he does and it shows in his work.
Many of our friends will be using Matt for future events.
His recording on his web site really doesn't do him any justice. Even though he sounds great, he is much better in person.
We would not hesitate to hire him again.
Lory and Arnie Schuster
Jackson, New Jersey -- Lory S, Red Bank, NJ, 9/12/2009
- Outstanding. Very professional, courteous and hard working - barely took a break in the 6 1/2 hours he was here. Arrived early, stayed late. His range of music and his talent was exceptional. Everybody got to hear the music they enjoy. -- Dan L, Holmdel, NJ, 9/6/2009
- Matthew went above and beyond our expectations of him for our wedding ceremony. He learned and mastered at least 4 songs we asked him to learn and all were completely different from others. He brought 4 guitars with him to accomodate our wide variety of song requests and moved through them smoothly, with no interruption. He listened to our vision for our ceremony and then helped to create and realize that vision.
I HIGHLY recommend Matthew Cutillo for any event because of his expert playing, reliability, professional and personable nature, and his incredible attitude and respect toward your event. -- Abby U, Alexandria, VA, 9/5/2009

He specifically learned Ants Marching for us since we are such huge Dave Matthews fans and played it without any hesitation on the night of. We discussed opportunities for several people who might be good for the after hours party and Matt was definately the most professional and played whatever we wanted on queue!

Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Hellner :) -- Marina A, Bayville, NY, 8/30/2009

Not only did he play great songs but he did not stop the whole time. The music was at a volume that was both enjoyable to listen to and able to carry on conversations with guests. Not only us, but our guests said if they needed someone like Matthew for a party, he will definitely be the one.
Thank you Matthew for working so hard and making our party one we will not forget!! Theresa and Mike Milo -- Theresa M, Forest Hills, NY, 8/16/2009
- Matt made us feel completely comfortable, and put me at ease with any questions I had a few days before the wedding.

- I hired Matt to play at my mother- and father-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary party in our backyard. We had approximately 60 guests, all ages. Matt was wonderful! Everyone loved him. His music was absolutely perfect for the party. He greeted my surprised in-laws with an ear-to-ear smile while playing Summer Wind. They cried. He stayed longer than was scheduled because noone wanted him to leave. My in-laws kissed him good-bye when he left. Matt was the icing on the cake for our very successful party. Thanks Matt! We hope to see you again soon! -- Saundra J, Commack, NY, 7/25/2009
- Matthew is an absolute music genius! We can't thank him enough. He far surpassed our expectations. My husband & I hired him to play @ our 30th birthday party, on a Sunday afternoon. Although there was no dance floor, we wanted music & mingling & that is what we got. Everyone was mingling the entire time, he was PERFECT! He didn't stop playing. He really set the tone of the party. He was there early to set up & played until every last guest left. He played all of our music requests & really knew how to read the crowd. We received tons of compliments from our guests, everyone was so impressed. Thank you Matthew! -- Amber M, Port Washington, NY, 7/19/2009

I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a fun show and some great tunes! Thanks again Matt!! -- Chris B, Seaside Park, NJ, 7/18/2009
- Matthew was a wonderful addition to my birthday party. His music did not interrupt conversation and my guests were treated to a wide selection of music. My children called him in advance to ask him to play my wedding song, a Beatles tune called "Here, There and Everywhere." Since he didn't know it he learned the music and was able to sing the song for me. My guests loved singing along and found him to be so accommodating and sweet. I would highly recommend him to anyone. -- Linda B, Saint James, NY, 7/11/2009
- Matt did a great job entertaining a small crowd with a diversity of tastes at our summer party. His energy and talent was above and beyond what we expected. In a short period of time, he added challenging songs to his repretoire including a Drop Kick Murphy and other favorites of the group one wouldn't expect from a soloist. He worked hard, took requests with ease, and was highly professional. We'd highly recommend him for a future event. -- Courtney C, Millburn, NJ, 7/11/2009
- We just had our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding performer. Matthew was professional, courteous, helpful, and accommodating. We had numerous special requests including a few songs to be sung in another language, Matthew learned them and played them with passion, gusto, and never missed a beat. I've been to a number of weddings and seen DJs and bands and let me tell you, Matthew presence and musical knowledge is outstanding. The father of the bride who is in a classical band and has been a high school music teacher for over 30 years (and who is very critical of other musicians) had nothing but praise for Matthew. -- David G, Clayton, NY, 7/4/2009
- I want the best Solo Guitarre Player in Usa and i FOUND him.

- Matt is a true professional. I heard him at a friends 50th rockin party and he was also perfect for my Mom's 75th. He's a chameleon and fits in for any occasion. He's very talented and just has an amazingly huge repitoire. No dead air time. He's like the energizer bunny! The hits keep coming! Besides the great music, I love the fact that he's low key, lets his music do the talking, and is not an obnoxious ego maniac! Highly recommend Matt! Thanks dude! -- Roseann S, Staten Island, NY, 6/28/2009
- Matthew was the best. He had everyone singing to his songs and my guest loved him. Next year when we do my daughter's graduation party, I told him that he was coming back to do the entertaining.
Matthew started on time and was very professional and took requests from my guests. For my son's special day, he played his favorite song and also played a song that my daughter had requested. You can tell he puts alot of effort and time into his entertaining. I loved it. -- Nancy L, Malta, NY, 6/27/2009

His music library is like no other that I have heard before. You name the band and he has the songs.
He truly enjoys playing the music and keeping guests entertained. Our party was 5 hours long and he only took 1 break at our request. If it were up to him he would have played the entire time.
All of our guests kept singing his praises to us.
I would recommend Matt to anyone!!! -- Marcelo D, Lindenhurst, NY, 6/20/2009

- Matthew was great!! He played for almost seven hours straight. He never even took a break!! My guests loved him and so did we. Our event was coming to an end and Matthew stayed and played for an extra hour. It was a lot of fun and i strongly recommend hiring him for one of your events. -- Christine S, Denville, NJ, 5/24/2009
- Matthew was fantastic, we had a group of about 40 or 50, at least 1/2 of them came to us during and after Matthew's performance and asked for his contact details. He was fun, inspired, played a wonderful guitar and is an outstanding singer. Even though he had an extensive song list, which he shared in advance, he learned something new that he found out that I really liked, and he did it amazingly well.
A real pro and a super guy, we would recommend Matthew to any who asked! -- Jennifer W, Wilton, CT, 5/23/2009

Every person at our graduation party was asking about Matt and commented how great he was and even I gave out a few of his business cards as referrals. He was awesome. I highly recommend him. -- Maureen W, Shrewsbury, MA, 5/17/2009
- He was extremely friendly and accomodating. We originally had him set up outside but the weather was a little cold for the guests so we asked him to move his equipment inside. He played continuously and everyone enjoyed the selection he played. I would definately book him again. -- Brenda G, Point Pleasant, NJ, 5/16/2009
- Matthew was absolutely fantastic, we had a small wedding and he managed to interact with the guests and taking on special requests. We also requested a completely new song not on his song list, which he learnt especially for our wedding. He definitely made the event very special and every one of our guests, young and old sang praises for his talent. We would highly recommend Matthew and thank you for making our day as special and memorable as we could imagine. -- Elaine T, New York, NY, 4/30/2009
- Matt played for our son's 1st birthday party. He was scheduled to play for 2 hours, but stayed and played 2 and 1/2 hours of non-stop awesome music. He played songs from the 70s, 80s 90s and today. And if that wasn't enough, he waited until it was time to sing Happy Birthday, relocated his equipment and got the crowd started with a great "Happy Birthday" song!!!! He is a true professional and an amazing musician! -- Pete L, Bablyon, NY, 4/18/2009
- I hired Matthew to play at my husband's surprise 40th birthday party and could not have been more pleased with his performance! I was intially skeptical about hiring someone online but Matthew certainly delivered all he promised and much more. He is an amazing singer/guitarist who has the ability to connect with the audience and strives to ensure that everyone is happy and having a good time. He was able to play such a wide range of music pleasing the very young and old and took no breaks!!!! My guests all commented on the quality of his music and his ability to play, play, play!!! What a great guy and great performer...can't say enough!! Thanks Matthew! -Amy H. -- Amy H, Middletown, CT, 4/4/2009
- I highly recommend Matthew Cutillo for your next affair.Matthew played at my daughter's christening.Approximately 100 guests attended. He arrived 30 mins early to set up and remained until all of my guests departed.At least 30 of my guests approached me and complimented Matthew's performance.I believe many more approached him directly for his business card.Matthew played music from the 1950's to the present on his Joe Walsh guitar.He learned a tune for my daughter on just a few weeks notice.In the over 3 hours he was playing,he stopped for 1 short break.What a fantastic gentleman, singer and Ax-Man.Needless to say, my wife and I will hire him again. -- Joseph H, Wantagh, NY, 3/28/2009
- Matthew performed at my sister's 50th birthday party at my home on 3/21/09. All 26 guests were impressed with his repertoir and his ability to seamlessly transition from playing in the background to engaging the crowd to sing along with him and to dance. He was extremely accommodating, going so far as to learn a special song to play for my sister's grand entrance. He showed up on time, set up very quickly, and played his heart out.

I will certainly use Matt again for our community functions in the summer and would advise anyone interested in Matt for hire, to go ahead as he is great. Very professional and attentive. -- Lisa L, Babylon, NY, 12/20/2008
- Matthew was outstanding. I had a large private party at my home and Matthew was the hit of the night. He drove 3 hours to my house and everything went very smoothly. I could do my hosting thing and know my guests were being entertained. Lots of requests were thrown his way and he performed them like each one was his favorite song. I would higher him again in a second for my next big bash. If you need a pro for your event, Matthews your guy. -- Dan B, Perkasie, PA, 12/12/2008

- Matthew was a real pleasure to work with--and. We had a special circumstance, where he was performing at a reform temple at the kiddish luncheon for our son's Bar Mitzvah. We had to sneak him in as entertainment--he had to pretend he was a relative. He went right along with our "game" and came in as "cousin Matthew". He was low key, as we had asked, and the kids were immediately drawn to him. He had a little sing along going with the kids, because he knew the type of music they were into. And also was able to entertain the adults later with low-key background music--with tunes more suitable for the 40's crowd. He returned any calls I made to him immediately. A doll! -- Amy M, Manhasset, NY, 11/8/2008
- Matthew is the consummate professional. The crowd (both old and young) absolutely loved his performance. He didn't take any breaks and his song selection was perfectly designed for his audience. You won't go wrong using him for your event. -- Todd R, Suffern, NY, 10/19/2008
- Matthew Cutillo is unbelievable and absolutely awesome! Talk about a crowd pleaser, Matthew really knows how to entertain. His range of talent is obvious from his first chord to his last with a play list that will outlast any party. He played an entire 5 hour set without any breaks, this man is amazing and gave 150%. He made sure that I knew he was there to entertain, and did anything I asked! Anyone, and I mean anyone, will not only be completely satisfied with Matthew as a performer, but will instantly see that he genuinely loves to play music. -- Darryl D, Lewes, DE, 10/18/2008
- I booked Matthew Cutillo from Norway for my sister's wedding ceremony in New York City. He is very serviceminded and recorded and sent me a sample mp3 of the songs. Unfortunately I wasn't present at the ceremony, but my sister told me he was a great performer and a very nice person. Through the e-mail correspondance I've had with Matthew Cutillo, I agree with my sister. I would definetely book him again. -- Anette H, New York, NY, 10/17/2008
- Matt did such a wondeful performance. his style and music are out if this world. thanks for starting on time and interacting with the people. looking foward to having u perform for us again. -- Joe S, Lindenhurst, NY, 10/14/2008

- Matt was amazing! He played for 5 hours straight! My neighbor said he just sat in his yard for hours with his family and listened to the music b/c he couldn't believe how good he was. This is our second time using Matt and we will never have another party without him. We no longer have to worry about a bad song coming on the radio at a party b/c we have Matt.
Thanks!!! -- Kevin B, Massapequa Park, NY, 10/11/2008

Several guests were asking how they could book him for their upcoming events. In addition, he is a super nice guy! -- Mark S, Glen Cove, NY, 10/5/2008
- Matthew was great. He came at least a half hour early and started playing right away at no extra cost. He has a really wide range and played a great selection of music. He was very professional throughout the entire process. We even asked him to stay for another hour because we didn't want to see him go, to which he happily obliged. I know we will use him again in the future. I would definitely recommend him for your party. You will not be disappointed. -- Matthew L, Atlantic Highlands, NJ, 10/4/2008
- Genius!! I was honored to have Matthew Cutillo play during my outdoor wedding ceremony this past weekend. He played beautiful acoustic music to greet out guests, accompany the bridal party and make me feel like such a special bride when he played his wonderful version of the bridal march for my entrance. My friends and family loved every minute of his performance.....a handful of them being musicians themselves were very impressed. The icing on the cake was that he is just a pleasure to deal with, friendly and attentive, I could not have asked for more. Thank you! -- Christine T, Miller Place, NY, 10/4/2008
- Matt was a tremendous hit during the coctail hour at our recent wedding. He has a real passion for his music, an incredible personal touch and is a fantastic musician. Matt is incredibly dedicated to making your event special. He played for at least an hour and half without stopping (only when the cocktail was over did he stop). We received so many compliments about his performance. We loved his song list and he even learned two songs on short notice that we asked him to play, which he did phenomenally.
I would recomend Matthew Cutillo for any type of event and have no doubt that you will do the same after you book him.He made the best day of our lives even better -- Kevin O, New Hyde Park, NY, 10/3/2008

We can't wait to plan another party so we can have him perform for us!! -- Lauren F, Roslyn, NY, 9/26/2008
- Before booking through gigmasters, I researched many different artists because I realize the music you select at any event is definitely a big decision. It could make or break the mood of the party. That's why I'm excited to write this review because I could not be happier that I chose Matt Cutillo. His voice and guitar skills are incredible! Matt played at my daughters christening and I had 60 people of all age groups from toddlers to teenagers, to 30 something’s and seniors and they all absolutely loved him! My guests could not stop complimenting his performance. I think every one of them asked for his card before they left. I can't wait to hire him again!DaveC NJ -- Dave C, Morris Plains, NJ, 9/14/2008

- Stop looking...Hire Matthew and know you just made your whole event outstanding with nothing to worry about.
Matthew is an outstanding talent as both a muscian and a performer. As a muscian - I was very impressed with his both his guitar skills and his vocals. He plays an incredible range of music and his solo performance sounds fills the room as he has worked out the instrumentation just right. He is also a great performer - not taking over the night - but really getting people into the songs, taking requests and eventually getting people to sing and dance along.
EVERYONE commented how great a party Matthew made it..and booking him is amazingly easy. -- Pete A, Rockville Center, NY, 9/12/2008

I highly recommend Matthew for any special event in your life! -- Arjun M, Basking Ridge, NJ, 9/6/2008
- Matthew is an amazing performer. He really helped to make our party memorable. All our guests were commenting on how much they liked him. He was great with our kids as well. He gave my 5 yr old daughter a huge thrill, by learning a Jonas Brother's song, just for her. Matthew played for hours before taking a break. We were having such a great time listening to him, we asked him to stay an extra hour. He continued playing more great songs. I would definitely hire Matthew again, and recommend him to anyone who wants to have a great performer at their party or event. Thank you so much Matthew! -- Diana E, Sag Harbor, NY, 8/31/2008
- What a great job Matt did at our party. He catered to all age groups and really kept the day alive and fun. Everyone asked where we got him and said what a difference he made.

- My entire experience with Matt through Gigmaster was GREAT. I emailed him through Gigmaster,and he called me that day to talk about my event. On the phone I could tell I was dealing with someone who took his music and his job very seriously. The day of the event he showed up 1/2 early and his music was amazing. I hired him for a four hour event and I think he stopped playing for 5 minutes and he welcomed all to come up and join in and sing along. Matt, thanks again for a great nite and I can not wait to hire you for another party... I give Matt 10 out of 5 stars for professionalism, accommodating and talent. -- Melissa B, Long Beach, NY, 8/16/2008

East Meadow, New york -- Amy W, Bellmore, NY, 3/2/2008
- Matt was excellent. His performance was excellent and his professionalism is unmatched. He played non-stop for 4 hours straight at a 30th birthday party. He played a broad range of music which appealled to the many age groups that were there. All in attendance raved about his performance. I've received numerous inquiries about him from my guest for their future events. The restaurant the event was held at was difficult to work with, yet Matt adjusted and accomodated both the restaurant and the attendees. We would use Matt again at our next event. He was one of the highlights of the evening. -- Ed F, Jersey City, NJ, 12/14/2007

Matthew makes me want to create more occasions so that we can hear him sing. In every respect, Matthew is a gem. No need to look any further! 5***** -- Maria L, Woodbury, NY, 12/1/2007

Everything he played was PERFECTION and everyone is calling me to tell me how much they loved his music. Matt will definitely be our entertainment again and again and again. Thanks for a fantastic night Matt!! -- Kelly C, Massapequa, NY, 9/22/2007
- I hired Matthew to make my proposal to my girlfriend as memorable as possible. I wanted someone to learn "our song", pretend to be a street performer, and start playing it while we were passing by. He was the first to respond, and his energy and enthusiasm made me feel like he would be perfect for this. He was so friendly, creative, open to communication and feedback, and flexible with his schedule that I felt like we were collaborating on this together! He really put all of his heart into this event and it went exactly as planned. He even contributed his own touches by secretly recording the proposal! Matthew is super talented and professional! He is the best! -- Arjun M, New York, NY, 8/28/2007
- We would recommend Matthew Cutillo without reservation. From our first contact, he was professional and personable and could not have been more accommodating. His set-list is vast and wide ranging, and he additionally offered to learn special songs, one of which he used to serenade my husband at the end of the night. In person he is utterly charming and our guests were captivated. He is extremely talented and was the cherry on the cake of an outstanding 40th birthday party. We can’t wait to hire him again. -- Jane G, Chatham, NJ, 8/25/2007

- I hired Matthew for my firm's summer outing in Westhampton, and he was terrific. My boss had mentioned that he wanted an acoustic guitarist/singer ever since last year's outing, and Matthew delivered big time & made me look great. It's amazing how much better a party can be when there is great live music. We'd like to have him back every year if he's available. I can't imagine the party without him there. He's a great guitarist, terrific singer & is a gentleman to boot. I can't recommend him more highly. Stephen, New York, NY -- Stephen M, Long Island, NY, 8/11/2007

- THE BEST! I hired Mathew for my husbands 40th birthday party -The guests ranged from 9 months old to 70 years old. Mathew was THE BEST! He entertained and connected personally with everyone. My husband could not have asked for a more professional and personal "stranger" to be welcomed into our home and life. My 9 year old daughter and her friends got his autograph and are begging for Mathew to come again. Our friends said that I could not have found a more "decent and talented guy". The over 50- year- olds sat back and smiled and tapped to the beat. I could have not been more greatful to Mathew! Thank you Mathew - all the luck to you in the future and I hope our paths can cross again!!!

- Matt arrived 30 minutes before the party and set up his equipment. (Matt only requires a 5x5 space and an outlet) He began the night at 7:30 p.m and was playing while the guests were walking in. That was a great touch and the guests were all ready singing along. Throughout the evening Matt played hits from Blues Traveler, Chili Peppers and Led Zepplin and Johnny Cash to name a few. My guests knew every song and tried to guess the artist. The most amazing thing was that, Matt plays the entire night STANDING in front of the microphone. He played 50 minute sets and took 10 minute breaks. Then he was back up singing and entertaining the crowd. The night continued with Matt playing until 12:00 p.m. My guests said it was the best summer party they have ever been to. They have all requested a business card and hopefully they will book Matt for their next party. In the end, it was a great summer night and I take great pleasure in recommending Matt Cuttillo. -- Chuck S, Massapequa Park, NY, 6/30/2007

- Matt had a large repertoire of enjoyable music and also took the time to learn some more songs that I had requested before he came. He played at a backyard party for my husband's birthday and all of our guests really enjoyed the music. -- Beverly C, Frederick, MD, 6/23/2007
- Matt did an excellent job throughout the graduation party gig that he was booked for. He interacted with everyone very well, taking requests and keeping everyone smiling and entertained. He was very professionsl and I would highly recommend Matt to anyone. -- Kevin B, Pomona, NY, 6/16/2007

- Matthew was an absolute pleasure to have at our event. It was my sister's 30th birthday and she had no idea that Matthew was coming and was presently suprised. He was very accomodating in every aspect. His sets were great, full of well known songs and he did a great job performing requests by the audience. Would definitely invite him back for a future event. -- Heather C, Plainville, CT, 4/14/2007
- Matthew was professional, down to earth and friendly from the first phone call to the end of our event. He accommodated an alternate rain date for our party without hesitation (which was a huge help!), came on time (early even), had plenty of material, was talented and a great sense of humor. He was very friendly and professional to everyone at my son's first birthday party and our guests really loved his music. We would hire him again in a minute and have already referred him to some of our friends.
Our experience with Matt couldnt be better and he is even easy on the eyes too! A definite bonus for the ladies! -- Susan P, Hicksville, NY, 4/30/2006
- Fantastic performance! Matthew Cutillo never disappoints at The Melting Pot in Farmingdale!! -- Rachel B, Farmingdale, NY, 1/27/2012
- Matthew was very professional and courteous. He accomadated our slightly changed starting time without hesitation. Matthew also connected well with the audience with his personality and touch of humor. He is very talented and would not only hire him again but would reccomend him to friends as well. -- Neal A, North Haven, CT, 8/7/2004
- Matt, showed up on time, and took him five minutes to get setup...A+ in my book. We had a large party approx 100+ people, he walked for around for five minutes or and introduced himself to everybody before he got started, another A+. Thoughout the evening I moved him around my backyard...each time closer to the crowd as everyone finished the dinner hour. By the last set Matt was right in the mix (and to be honest, his last set kicked butt). Preliminary feedback from some of the people who attended the party, though he was great. If we have a party next year, he will be back on the schedule. Thanks Matt!!!! -- Brian R, Hainesport, NJ, 9/1/2007
