About Matt Rayner Music

Create the perfect atmosphere for your special day with Matt Rayner Music, roaming Wedding musician and DJ based in Essex. Matt provides beautiful live music for your ceremony, drinks reception, and wedding breakfast. His passionate performances, lively DJ sets and professionalism will ensure an unforgettable soundtrack for your wedding day.

Matt Rayner isn't a musician or DJ who stands in the corner. He's wireless, roaming, and moving through the room — loop pedal building live layers of rhythm and melody right in front of your guests. His goal is to ensure guests feel the music and resonate with the energy, leaving them feeling the energy running through their body and soul. Combined with the simplicity of dealing with one single vendor, Matt provides full day entertainment experiences including acoustic guitar/vocal performances and high energy DJ sets to cover your entire day.

Heavily influenced by early Ed Sheeran - rhythmic, percussive, built for crowd connection - Matt layers his guitar, rhythm and vocals live through his loop pedal, creating a rich, full sound that fills any space without a backing track in sight. From the moment guests arrive through to the last song of the night, he reads the room and delivers exactly what each moment needs.
When the evening kicks in, Matt transitions into a fully bespoke DJ set - high energy by nature, completely customised to you. Whether that's a pumping dance floor or a more relaxed evening atmosphere, it's built around your guests, your music and your day.

For couples who want something truly unforgettable, Matt also offers combined packages - a live acoustic duo performing on the dance floor while he leads the DJ set. The kind of night your guests will still be talking about at your first anniversary.

Matt is a proud member and preferred supplier at Houchins, Alresford Hall and The Grey Friars in Essex and is available for weddings across Essex, Suffolk, London and UK.
Why couples choose Matt:

-Wireless and roving: he performs amongst your guests, not apart from them
- Live loop pedal: music built in real time, right in front of the room
- Guitar, vocals and DJ covered by one supplier: seamless
- Completely bespoke to your day, your style and your guests
- Fast to respond, easy to work with, stress-free from the first enquiry
