Matthew J. Evans and the Contrafacts were truly amazing! Matthew was helpful from the beginning and understood our vision for our wedding. Every single musician were masterful, professional, and fun. They even had fun singing with my mom to end the night! Thank you so much for making our day extra special and wonderful. Highly recommend and would book again!
