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 my 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 from me other than the music .
A full-time MUSICIAN ON A MISSION; from start to finish the eye & ear for detail you want: every aspect of your vision is my pleasure to realize - for a great experience and a mind-blowing performance EVERY TIME ; the easy part of your event. For more ease in the most rustic settings I use high quality battery-powered equipment ( i.e. outdoor weddings) to eliminate worry about electric-outlet availability.
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. Classical songs are played on a NYLON STRING GUITAR - Bluegrass is played on a strictly ACOUSTIC , MIKED guitar and all vocal music with an ACOUSTIC ELECTRIC STEEL STRING guitar.
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 hundreds of galas, TV performances and FESTS in cities like Hamburg, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Munich, Berlin, Luebeck, Trier, Leipzig, Paderborn, Bottrup, Oelznitz to name only a few. I fronted numerous other formations performing disco, party, and pop rock covers and had the rare privilege of singing with German film-star / singer LOTTO KING KARL 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 use top quality equipment and am 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
- I planned my first party ever and was a bit apprehensive in what to do.. I don't know any musicians or anything like that.. Thank god for gigmaster.com I found Matthew Cutillo. He was a great addition to the bridal shower.. Matt is very professional, courteous, and talented. My family and friends all loved him and his performance was outstanding. He learned all 5 favorite songs of my sister even some tagalog songs.. She loved it and she couldn't stopped smiling the whole party. I would highly recommend Matthew Cutillo to any parties or events. -- Grace P, New York, NY, 11/7/2009
- Thank you for a great night. Wonderful!! -- Jamie G, Glen Cove, NY, 11/6/2009
- 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. At the end of the night I feared the guests were going to chain him behind the microphone. They would not let him leave. -- Kelly H, Oyster Bay, NY, 10/30/2009
- 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
- Matthew was excellent. Everyone at my wedding kept on asking how I found him. He is HIGHLY recommended! He was very accommodating in all the requests for certain songs.....Definitely five stars! -- Thomas U, Cutchogue, NY, 10/25/2009
- Matt was AMAZING and we received rave reviews from family and friends at our reception. I'm so glad we chose Matt as our performer and we'll definitely be keeping him in mind for future events. Not only was his music good but he is so nice and easy to work with....just an overall great experience! -- Michelle L, York, PA, 10/24/2009
- Wonderful as always! -- Jamie G, Glen Cove, NY, 10/23/2009
- As always, Matt was highly entertaining and a great addition to our Friday night entertainment. -- Tony O, Tuckahoe, NY, 10/16/2009
- Matt made our party!!!!! he had the crowd singing and involved. I was amazed at number of songs he new. He didnt miss a request. Abosulely great time.... Thanks Matt -- Linda C, Holmdel, NJ, 10/10/2009
- Matthew did such an excellent job playing our ceremony. I gave him full control of the set list he played and he did not disapoint! -- Margaret P, Brooklyn, NY, 10/10/2009
- 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
- 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 !
Troy & Orsi
-- Troy M, Manahawkin, NJ, 10/2/2009
- Matthew was a wonderful addition to what would have been a typical Wednesday night! He is talented, professional and thoughtful. He was able to gauge the customers and play accordingly. We can"t wait to have him back! -- Melissa B, Glen Head, NY, 9/30/2009
- I booked Matt to play at my bar. He played a great mix of songs, took requests from the audience, and provided a nice atmosphere for my customers to enjoy the evening. I will definitely be booking him again on a regular basis. -- Tony O, Tuckahoe, NY, 9/25/2009
- Matt, you were AWESOME!! Thanks so much for making our Cocktail Hour unforgettable.
-Keith & Erin -- Keith G, Cohasset, MA, 9/19/2009
- 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. Thank you Matt- you made our wedding day PERFECT! -- Jenna P, Huntington, NY, 9/18/2009
- Thank you for an excellent performance. We truly enjoyed having you perform at our cocktail party. -- Kristen E, New York, NY, 9/16/2009
- Matthew did an amazing job!! This was for a private party and everyone raved how great he was. We are looking forward to working with Matthew again at The Melting Pot Restaurant in Atlantic City. -- Charles H, Egg Harbor Township, NJ, 9/13/2009
- 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
- Matthew is a pleasure to work with. Talented musician. We are looking forward to having him back in a few weeks. Thank you! -- Jamie G, Glen Cove, NY, 9/4/2009
- Matt was awesome!!! He did such a great job and those who attended my after party wedding raved about him for weeks! 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!
Thanks so much Matt for everything and we can't wait to have our housewarming party so we can call you back up to come down!!
Many thanks,
Mr. and Mrs. Stephen Hellner :) -- Marina A, Bayville, NY, 8/30/2009
- Easy to work with. It did not take a hundred emails to communicate what I needed and wanted. Very simple which makes the event that much easier. I was busy but guests made a point of telling me how great vocals were. -- Eric B, Ridgewood, NJ, 8/29/2009
- Matthew was fantastic. I will certainly look to him to provide entertainment for future events. -- Linda A, Sea Bright, NJ, 8/27/2009

- Matthew was one of the highlites of our event, the evening would not have been the same without him. All of our guest totally enjoyed his talent and as host and hostess we could not have been more pleased with his performance. Thanks Elaine and Roger Young. -- Elaine Y, Staten Island, NY, 8/22/2009

- Matt's presence and music made all the difference for my wife's 50th surprise birthday party. He engaged the entire party and set the tone that was indeed special. Matt was friendly, sociable, polite, easy to reach, great attitude, punctual, and all-together professional. Matt started before his scheduled time, in order to make the company feel comfortable. He played a terrific and fun selection of songs. Matt was awesome and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who needs musical entertainment for an event. I can't thank Matt enough for making my wife's birthday a day to always cherish and remember. -- Jerry D, Locust Valley, NY, 8/20/2009
- Matthew Cutillo played at our daughter Julie's 30th surprise birthday party on August 16th. Ages 2 to 85 attended. It is safe to say everyone enjoyed Matthew's music. 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. He was there early, dressed professionally, and practicing well before people began arriving. Everyone commented on how wonderful he was, and he did an amazing job throughout the entire ceremony. We couldn't be more thrilled!! Thanks again, Matt! -- Rebecca F, Darien, CT, 8/15/2009
- matt was our guitarist for our wedding and he was phenomenal. matt basically went above and beyond anything we expected him to do. he was sincere and genuinely cared about making our special day the best it could be. and most importantly, when it came time for him to play...he killed it. countless people came up to compliment us on the way that matt played. when my bride was walking down the aisle, his music made the moment perfect. it is something that i will never forget. thanks so much matt! -- Jay K, Rye, NY, 8/9/2009

- 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
- Matt was great. Very prompt and professional. His music was thoroughly enjoyed by all my customers and many of them have already found me asking me when he'll be performing again. 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.
Matthew play the Guitar on my suprise marriage proposal.

He recorded me mp3 sample an send me on my email adresse.
It was so amazing this gig.
He rock the liberty island.
If you want the Best, book Matthew and your Event will be perfect. -- Markus L, New York, NY, 7/2/2009
- 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
- Matt is an extremely accomodating performer. He added just the right atmosphere for our party. We would definitely have Matt as our entertainment again at our next friends/family function! -- Kristin B, Carle Place, NY, 6/27/2009
- Matt has exceeded all of our expectations. He turned a party that could have been a washout into a full on bash!!
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
- Matt was superb. He played during the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding and it was simply beautiful. Matt is the whole package - not only a great musician but a wonderful person who takes your event as seriously as you do. -- Marcy F, Spring Lake Heights, NJ, 6/19/2009

- 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
- matthew was great he showed up early and played later then asked, and catered to everyone's taste in music... thanks matt.. -- Daniel L, New York, NY, 5/22/2009
- Matt was exceptional. He is very talented with a great repertoire of music for all ages. He is courteous, friendly, professional and was just a great musician. 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. When he was leaving and after he was gone many of our guests asked for his card, and said they would hire him if they had an event that required special entertainment. He really made my sister's night special. -- William S, Gillette, NJ, 3/21/2009
- 5 STARS across the board. Great Job the other night. we love having Matt Cutillo perform for our parties and special occasions. looking forward to the next time we hear you perform for us.

Joe -- Joe S, Lindenhurst, NY, 12/26/2008
- I hired Matt without hearing him for my Christmas party and was a little nervous. As it turned out he was WONDERFUL and entertained my guests all evening. 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
- We couldn't even imagine a better way to end my sister's wedding celebration! Matt is an excellent entertainer and really put his heart into his performance. He made what was already a great day and extraordinary evening. I would recommend him to all my friends and family. We cannot wait until this summer so we can have a backyard party and hire Matt, just to see him play again. -- Michele S, Woodbury, NY, 12/6/2008
- Matthew played for 4 hours and was upbeat and entertaining the whole time. He played music to accomodate all ages, and added holiday music to add the the festivities. He was kind, gracious and personable with all the guests who came through the house on this Holiday Homes Tour.

- 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
- Matt was just perfect for our event! He performed hit after hit of great standards, wich is what we requested. He performed for 3 straight hours without a break! 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
- My husband and I hired Matt to perform at our wedding after party on September 26, 2008. From the moment we booked him up till his performance that night, he was wonderful in every way. All of our guests are still raving about his performance. He learned 4 songs for us and did a fantastic job with every single one. We both HIGHLY recommend Matt, he is extremely talented. 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

This combination continually pushes him to go above an beyond what I have asked of him in the current and past performances that I have hired him for! He is truly a good soul, a fine performer, and someone who possesses an infectious spirit for life that is exuded in his craft. 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. Matt showed up early and was ready to rock all day. Total professional, we look forward to having him back again. If you are looking to book music do not hesitate on using Matt, you will not regret it. Thanks Matt... Mike and Andrea, Howell, NJ -- Michael V, Howell, NJ, 8/30/2008

- 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

I will definitely hire Matt again in the future. Matt - thanks for a great party!
-- Julie G, Chappaqua, NY, 8/1/2008
- My wife and I had a great and uncomplicated experience with Matthew. He always either answered phone calls or promptly returned them.

- According to all my guests, Matt "made our party", He rocked all day long....I swear to God he barely took 3 minutes away from the stage for a 5+ hour event. Played a wide array of music that accommodated all age groups. Knew all his songs cold, and even learned a bunch of songs on our request prior to the event. Great voice, great talent and an awesome guy to just be around. I cant say enough nice things about him....He is definitely coming back next year. Thanks again Matt!! -- Mike T, Old Tappan, NJ, 7/4/2008

- What else can I say but Fabulous!!! Everyone at the party thought he was amazing and asked where I found him. Matt's range is so wide! He was so professional, easy to deal with, and extremely accommodating. I hired Matt one week before our party and asked him to sing a couple of my Fiance's favorite songs for his birthday and even though Matt didn't know them he learned them for the party. I would definitely hire him again. "Thank You Matt for an amazing touch to our party". -- Jenn B, Grandview On Hudson, NY, 6/21/2008

He is EXTREMELY TALENTED, vocally and on the guitar, and has such a vast buffet of types of music and songs that it he is just AMAZING. He performed at my son's Christening and, EVERY CALL that I have received about the party has been complimenting my choosing Matthew and raving how much fun the party was because of him. He was super early, perfectly dressed and very personable. At one point, my older son asked if Matthew was our uncle because everyone was drawn to him! A+ to you Mr. Cutillo!!! -- Yvonne W, White Plains, NY, 5/18/2008
- Matthew was beyond words incredible. We were having a birthday party in our yard and the night will be a forever memory. There is no doubt that we will look to have him entertain us again.

Matthew played for several hours straight able to sing every genre of music to please everyone. Super talent, super guy. -- Kevin B, Massapequa Park, NY, 5/17/2008

He was extrmely conciencious to ensure he understood my desires and then far exceeded them! Matt is an outstanding talent with tremendous versatility. He read my group, adapted to the mood and got everyone engaged with his great likeable style. The compliments I received from my guests on his ability were universal.

- MATT CUTILLO was perfect for my proposal!! IF YOU'RE looking for someone at your event that will put in 150% then you NEED to go with him. I hired Mat to play guitar as i sang and then proposed to my fiancee and he went above and beyond the call of duty! HE was willing to go around my schedule. He took several hours out to practice the song with me. Everything I talked about with him as far as planning out the proposal and location he took seriously and helped with. He is very personal and I felt like i've known the guy forever. I highly recommend him if your looking for someone for your own proposal or if you have any occasion where you want an excellent musici -- James V, Glen Cove, NY, 4/10/2008
- Matthew Cutillo performed at a family birthday party and was the consummate performer! From the first moment we contacted him regarding our party, he was accommodating, personable, and extremely reliable. We had a very unique request for a performance of Johnny Cash music, and Matthew delivered! He spent a great deal of time learning new material to be performed at our party and did so with enthusiasm and accuracy! His appearance was a surprise to our guests and we all had a terrific time! He added so much to the event and we would not hesitate to recommend Matthew to ANYONE for ANY type of gig!

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 was personal, professional and accommodating, from the first email correspondence to the day of our party. He was very friendly and welcoming to our guests. The music that Matthew selected and the manner in which he performed gave our brunch just the relaxed, happy feeling that we wanted. Did I mention what an incredible musician he is? 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
- In one word? Matt was GREAT! I can't say enough about his talent, his professionalism, how quickly he responded to my e-mails. We had a cocktail party here at my home, and what would usually be a low key evening, he turned into a big PARTY with lots of people singing along with him. 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
- If you are looking for a extremely talented, courteous and professional musician with lots of personality and the ability to connect with all of your guests - then do not hesitate to HIRE MATT!!!

-- Kerri W, Holbrook, NY, 8/18/2007
- 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
- It was a pleasure having Matthew play for my Mom's B-Party. We had the time of our lives and the quests could not say enough about how great and talented he really is. Really for those who are looking for an awesome acoustic guitar player and amazing vocals you will not be dissappointed. Aside form his great musical talents, Matthew was on time and a pleasure to do business with. Thanks again!

- 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
- We were lucky to get Matthew for our event. He is fabulous; a terrific talent, very professional, accomodating, not to mention a joy to work with. I highly recommend Matthew. Tara Tucker -- Tara T, Long Branch, NJ, 6/29/2007

- We had a great time and Matthew was great to work with. -- Leah H, Stamford, CT, 4/17/2007
- 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

- 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
- Matt performed at an informal office party held at my home. In additional to being a talented musician he is a true professional to deal with. Everyone at the party had a great time !!! -- Carol W, Oceanside, NY, 6/7/2008
- Mathew played our engagement party at a private residence on July 12, 2008 for over 100 people. He was very courteous from our initial meeting throughout the event. He showed up about a half hour early and played almost straight through for 7 hours. Our guests and I really enjoyed his music, varying song selection, and willingness to play special requests. We would reccomend him to anyone looking for something different than the everyday DJ for any sort of gathering. -- Jasen G, East Marion, NY, 7/12/2008
