Matthew Turner Full Description
Matthew Turner specialises in gorgeous, stripped-back renditions of pop, folk and indie from the 1950s to the present day. His unique spin on popular songs and his soulful vocals capture the attention of everyone in the room from the very first chords. But when combined with his electric kick pedal to drive the rhythm and layer the sounds, you can instantly notice the energy lift and the joyful tapping of feet. With over a decade of experience performing live music all over the UK and abroad, Matthew will provide the perfect soundtrack to a truly special and memorable day. His standard solo performance can be laid-back or lively, with set-lists tailored to your unique taste. Matthew supplies his own PA and lighting for a totally self-contained and exceptional show, as well as playlist music between sets to keep the ambience at an ideal level when he's taking a break. Your special moments are sorted too - he'll learn your aisle song that’s unique to you plus one other special request as standard for your wedding ceremony. He’ll also learn a first dance song of your choosing if you decide to go with the ever popular evening package. As well as a diverse range of wedding packages, Matthew can also be booked to perform in a duo line-up - if you want an even more diverse performance. This means he'll be accompanied by a talented electric guitarist and vocalist for lively sound and stunning two-part vocal harmonies that can be kept low volume or turned up high depending on the atmosphere you want! It’s the perfect option if you want that real party energy during your evening reception. Matthew truly understands the importance of live music and how it can be used to create the perfect atmosphere for any occasion. You can be confident that your wedding entertainment will exceed all expectations, from a professional musician who is approachable, accommodating and committed to making your special day the best it can be.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Every couple who have booked me to perform have been wonderful people who’s special days I will always look back on fondly. But my most memorable wedding would have to be when I performed at a DIY barn dance themed wedding held on a working cattle farm. The stage was a small trailer loaded with straw bales and the barn which had housed cattle just weeks before had been completely transformed with hundreds and thousands of fairy lights and decorations! The weather was absolutely glorious, in the peak of summer, so we decided at the last minute to move the stage outside and we partied and danced on the grass until long after the sun went down. Since then, I have always been happy to accommodate last minute changes to the schedule. As the fondest memories are often born out of spontaneity.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Versatile, Happy, Uplifting, Entertaining, Nostalgic

What about your business are you most proud of?

I am extremely proud to have maintained consistent 5 star reviews from my clients since I first started out.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Wedding planning can be incredibly stressful and overwhelming. But if you find yourself on the verge of breakdown because you can’t decide on whether to have the deluxe doughnut wall or the eight-foot macaroon tower, take a step back and remind yourself what your wedding is really about – you marrying the love of your life and being in the company of the people who mean the most to you… Oh, and good music of course!

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I always love a creative and performative best-man’s speech.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I like to lay out all my performance options and optional extras in clear writing for all enquiring couples so that they have all the information they need. I’m always happy to chat over the phone or via zoom if couples prefer it over email. As standard I will write up a performance contract so we both have an agreement in writing. During the run-up to the wedding I like to send couples an audio recording of their special song requests so that they can practise their first dance in the kitchen or just listen whilst enjoying a glass of wine to get excited ahead of the big day.

What makes a romantic first dance?

A song with heartfelt lyrics that has a personal meaning to both partners.

What is your number one floor-filler?

It has to be 500 miles by the Proclaimers

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

The Beatles!

What is the soundtrack to your life?
