“I wanted to send a note to say thank you again for all you did to make Leaders Forum a success! The time you offered on the day and leading up to Thursday is so appreciated! The feedback we have received on your inspiring keynote so far has been amazing. I sneaked a peak at the evaluations and literally almost every single one said “More Matt Day!” or “Matt was wonderful”!
Thank you again for all your hard work in supporting our people through an inspiring and educational day!”

“Matt Day is authentically taking his time and using his musical talent to make a connection with you, inspiring you to be the best version of yourself. With just the use of his keyboard and microphone and a few short stories you will have laughed, cried and wanted more! Matt’s message is relevant to people of all ages and across different demographics. I would highly encourage every company or organization to invite Matt to engage and inspire the people you work with!
~ Jennifer Jungwirth | Executive Director, Saskatchewan Music Educator Association
“I hired Matt Day in 2016 to emcee our Canada Day event at City Hall, he had previously done other events at City Hall and was highly recommended. I was so pleased with his performance that we hired Matt to emcee the Grand Opening of the Downtown Arena in September 2016, New Year’s Eve Downtown 2016 and Family Day 2017. He will be returning to City Hall to emcee our Canada Day event this year.
Matt is a true professional, an outstanding emcee and a multi talented artist and musician. It has been a pleasure getting to know him and work with him.”
~ Heather Shepherd | Program & Events Coordinator, City of Edmonton

“We had so many friends and family members approach us after to tell us how much they loved the entertainment, and that they had never experienced a program like yours at a wedding before. You were an unforgettable highlight in our perfect evening, and a joy to work with. Thanks again for everything.”
~ Ashlee & Dylan Pearce | Wedding Clients
“Your whole presentation was such a perfect mix of wonderful music, incredible talent, comedy and thought provoking encouragement. The jokes you told were so funny! I’m still giggling…”
~ Pam Miller | Kids Kottage
“I’ll give my two cents…he was fantastic! We really enjoyed the dinner music and show. Many people commented on how prepared he was; that he did his research and gave the songs a personal “Edward Jones” touch. We were still talking about it and remembering the funny lines a few days later. We hope to have him back again with even more jokes/roasts about the advisors!! Thanks so, so much. Merry Christmas!”
~ Kerry Adams | Edward Jones
“Matt gave an awesome performance! His research and relevance to IBAC was great! He did not take anything too far that would be embarrassing or rude. I would recommend Matt Day for any Corporate event.”
~ Dale Rempel | President, Insurance Brokers of Canada
“In my 27 years with the City, your presentation, without a doubt, was the best I’ve witnessed at a City AGM. I was not aware of all the places you’ve performed until I read your bio – and then was more than impressed. Your voice and expertise with the piano is, in my opinion, second to none — yes, that includes Elton John!! The way you interwove information about the City into “The Crescendo Effect” was brilliant … the message, itself, would be valuable to anyone – either at work or in their personal life! This was one of those good experiences that will remain in our memories forever! ”
~ Laura C. Tidwell | Executive Assistant to City Manager, City of Fort Saskatchewan
“I wanted to express our appreciation to you for providing the entertainment at our Canadian Utilities Pensioners Banquet at the Italian Cultural Centre in Edmonton. Your professionalism was greatly appreciated. I received a lot of feedback indicating that your song choices were excellent and you performed very well. I also appreciated how you set the stage and made it look very stylish. I very much look forward to working with you again at future events.”
~ Karen Jamieson | ATCO Gas
“Matt was the MC for a major event for the YWCA and we were so impressed, we had him back the next year. He is creative,versatile and is extremely adept at capturing the nuances of the event and the organization. He has a great ability to connect with the audience. Matt contributed expertise to ensuring everything ran smoothly, could adapt to unexpected changes and managed numerous changes with patience and humor. A real pleasure to work with.”
~ Susan McLean | Lethbridge YWCA Women of Distinction Awards
“Matt Day’s lunch performance at one of our NAIT teaching events was a big hit. We had told our instructors to stay in the room for a surprise performance. From the very video announcement of Matt, right to the group song at the end, the audience was just ecstatic. Matt was very inventive with self-created songs, video clips, a slide show, and many jokes. Comments on the evaluation forms included ‘The lunch entertainment was awesome’ and ‘Matt Day was just hilarious’. The performance was completely customized to NAIT, highlighting very NAIT-specific pet peeves, NAIT-isms, and oddities of NAIT’s executives. Beside causing a great amount of laughter, this also contributed to a very welcome sense of ‘belonging at NAIT’ amongst instructors. I very much recommend Matt Day to perform at your event, especially if you are looking to celebrate and bond with your staff.”
~ Dr. Annemarieke Hoekstra | NAIT
“Matt – thank you so much for your contribution to the CPA’s National Conference in Edmonton in June. You made such a significant impact at the Opening Ceremonies—from your exciting introduction to the custom song lyrics that showed you’d done your research on what was important to both the Association and the delegates, to your unique humour—all of this made for a meaningful and memorable kick-off. When you re-appeared as the surprise MC at the Awards Banquet the next night, the delegates reacted with such enthusiasm and your professionalism, musical talent and humour added much to the success of the evening. It was my particular pleasure to work with you throughout the planning and execution of these events. I look forward to future collaborations!”
~ Jeannie Boyes | JB Productions, Canadian Payroll Association
“The NRCB staff thoroughly enjoyed Matt’s musical talent, wit and humour at our staff retreat. Matt wrote two songs and incorporated pictures with a slide show that were tailor made for our organization, it was excellent!”
~ Peter Woloshyn | CEO, Natural Resource Conservation Board
“Matt Day made my “Day” as a professional speaker for over 20 years, Matt was our MC for a large event and he handled every conceivable detail upfront with class and care. Not only did he wow the audience with his ability to inject humour, he was able to get the audience’s attention on a moment’s notice and keep us all on time. As a speaker, I felt he handled the show perfectly. There are not many MC’s that I’d highly recommend, however, I would highly recommend Matt Day.”
~ Valerie Cade | CSP Past National President Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS)
