I truly don't even know where to begin. Hiring him as our wedding planner was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very first conversation, he completely understood my vision -- and not just understood it, but elevated it. He took every little idea I had and transformed it into something even more beautiful than I imagined. He handled every detail with such care, creativity, and precision that I was able to actually enjoy being a bride instead of feeling overwhelmed. One of the most special touches was the custom hair piece/fascinator he designed for me. It was completely unique and so perfectly "me." It made me feel elegant, confident, and unforgettable on my wedding day. That level of personalization and thoughtfulness is rare. Beyond the design and logistics, he managed everything seamlessly -- timelines, vendors, décor, coordination -- all of it. If something went wrong, I never even knew about it. He made the entire day feel effortless. But what makes him truly exceptional is who he is as a person. Somewhere between planning meetings and late-night vision boards, we became really good friends. He genuinely cares, and you can feel that in every detail of his work. If you want someone who will bring your dream wedding to life and make the journey just as beautiful as the day itself -- hire him. You will not regret it. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Matthew and booking his new business, and I can confidently say the experience exceeded expectations. From the start, his professionalism and authenticity stood out. He takes the time to really understand what you want and delivers with intention, creativity, and care. Having seen his leadership style firsthand, I can say the same integrity he brings to working with a team is exactly what he gives his clients -- clear communication, reliability, and a genuine passion for what he does. Nothing feels rushed or transactional; you feel heard and taken care of throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was his attention to detail and commitment to excellence. He doesn't just complete a service -- he elevates the experience. It's rare to find someone who combines talent, credibility, and heart the way Matthew does. I would absolutely recommend his business to anyone looking for high-quality work delivered by someone you can truly trust. This is the kind of experience that keeps you coming back. read more

I've known Matthew for over six years and have had the pleasure of working alongside him in a variety of creative settings. What always stands out is his ability to truly see people. He doesn't force a look or a vibe, he collaborates, refines, and elevates what's already there. His eye is sharp, his taste is flawless, and his execution is polished whether he's working on a client, a bride, backstage for a runway, or on set. But more importantly, he brings a calm and natural confidence to any room that makes people feel comfortable and taken care of. And that only comes from experience and careful curation. Matthew approaches his work with intention and integrity. He cares about the experience just as much as the final result- and it shows. Always... If you're looking for someone who blends artistry with professionalism and makes the process feel effortless (and FUN!), he's your guy. read more

Matthew is a lifesaver. We had an idea for a last minute themed party, and there's no way we could have pulled it off without The Creative Edge. Matthew took care of everything with limited time and and within budget. Two of our guests even forgot costumes, but with Matthew's unwavering dedication to the vision and resourcefulness, he was able to get more costumes delivered all while continuing to greet guests and set up a last minute second bar. Truly couldn't have done the soirée without him. Working with the creative edge felt like having a choir of angels assist with everything we could think of and many things we didn't. I highly recommend for all your party planning needs. read more
