Everything went awesome! Matt was a dream to work with! He is a true professional, extremely accommodating, easy going and very friendly. He knew exactly when to be serious and when to crack a joke. His jokes were very tasteful and appropriate and he understood the crowd. He was the perfect MC and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an MC for any type of event.
