Matt Drake

 

Sorry I didn't send this earlier but I just want to say thank you so much for making our night so good. We loved the dj and could not ask for a better one. I would tell all my friends about you guys and the great work you do. We all loved it and had a great time   Thank you so much   The Granthams

Music Knowledge: Excels in modern music and all of the number one hits from every year back to the fifties.  Matt knows what works to make a dance floor full.  Matt is one of the most personable hosts we have.  His ability to show his personality makes your evening a success every time. This shows most from the amount of positive feedback we receive after his events.  I would not hesitate to say if you are looking for character and someone you will never forget...he's your guy!!!

 

I meant to write to you right after our wedding (July 25), but we were just so busy. I just wanted you to know how impressed we were with our DJ Matt. He was incredible. My brother was the MC at our wedding and he commented on how accommodating and easy Matt was to work with. He played a variety of songs for every generation and was very enthusiastic! Just pass on the word that we were super happy with him and we would love to recommend him to anyone getting married!   Thanks for your business! Talk to you soon!   August 2009 - Mandy and Nathan

 

Just a quick note to let you know that last night was a great success!  Matt did an excellent job keeping the people on their feet.  A blast was had by all! Thanks so much, June 2009-Tania Great Canadian Hideaway

 

Matt Mike and I would like to thank you very much for making our reception a special night that we'll always remember.  The music was great and your unique personality shone through with lots of special touches. We will never forget!!! Thanks again. Julie and Mike -November 2008

DJ Characteristics:  Matt is one of the strongest assets to have when your main requirement is an MC with a powerful command of the microphone.  His focus on keeping the Guests of honour informed, makes you feel like you have a personal concierge.  Matt has worked in radio for several years and most recently with Fresh FM as an on air host.  He is enthusiastic on taking a lot of requests, but at the same time does not mind if the event planners give him a full list of songs to play from.  Matt takes the time to listen to all of the music that has been requested (important songs) before he comes to your event so that he is informed and knows the song quality.  Matt is one of the most friendly of our staff members and he is one of the guys you never see bad mouth someone, TRUE CHARACTER!!!

Hi Charlie! I just wanted to thank you and Matt for doing such a great job on October the 4th for Mike and I. We had a blast and the tunes were perfect! The entrance song that you created for us "Let's get this Party Started" by Pink with the Wrestling overlap "let's get ready to rumble" was fantastic - Mike and I made quite an entrance! Mike even high-fived his guests as he made his way into the reception hall! Our first dance medley with the Carpenters, Sway and Glen Miller was great too, although both Mike and I were pooped by the time the song ended! Everyone loved our dance and I think it surprized them too! Thank you so much for doing such a great job and working with us to pick the tunes. Matt was very professional and a lot of fun - he even got my boss up to dance to Elvis with these crazy sunglasses with sideburns attached! Even though my boss tried to bribe Matt to play the chicken dance for $20!! He didn't of course and I balled out my boss! Just kidding! But I do appreciate Matt's integrity for not playing that song! So thank you Matt! l've attached a couple photos of our day and hope you can forward this message to Matt! Thanks again for a job well done! Sincerely Yours, Kyla  & Mike -November 2008

 

Hi Charlie,   Just wanted to say that the music and Matt were phenomenal!! Everyone raved about the music, we couldn't get people to leave the dance floor...or leave for the night, it probably could have gone on for another 3 hours!   If you could pass along my thanks to Matt that would be great! Cristin and Darryl- August 2008
