Meet Matt Rayner
Matt, 33, is the talent behind Matt Rayner Music. He combines skill as a guitarist, vocalist, and DJ. As a result, his packages cover everything from the ceremony to the final song of the night.
Like a magician mingling with guests, Matt often performs as a roaming musician. This means he moves between groups, playing wireless sets that add energy and surprise throughout the day.
How It All Began
Music has been part of Matt’s life since childhood. At eight years old, he picked up his first guitar. Years later, he performed at a family friend’s wedding reception. That moment changed his career path. From then on, he realised that weddings were where his music and his service-first approach could shine.
What started with acoustic sets soon grew into full-day packages. Over time, he added DJ services, lighting, and collaborations. Therefore, couples can now book everything through one supplier.
Wedding Entertainment Services
Matt provides a complete entertainment journey. Furthermore, his packages are flexible and designed to reflect each couple’s style. His most popular full-day package often includes:
Pre-Ceremony – Gentle acoustic music as guests arrive.
Ceremony – Guitar and vocals for aisle songs, the register, and your exit.
Drinks Reception – Roaming acoustic sets that engage and entertain.
Wedding Breakfast – Live background music or personalised playlists.
Evening Reception – DJ and lighting, with optional collaborations from sax players or singers.
In other words, it’s a seamless and stress-free service. Much like close-up magic, his music becomes an experience your guests never forget.
Why Couples Choose Matt for Wedding Entertainment
Couples choose Matt because he offers a complete entertainment solution in one package. This reduces stress and keeps planning simple.
What couples enjoy most is his ability to learn special songs that make each wedding feel unique. In addition, he uses professional sound and lighting equipment to deliver reliable results every time. Collaboration with trusted suppliers ensures that all aspects of the day run smoothly. Above all, Matt focuses on creating an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
Just like booking a magician, working with Matt brings variety, personality, and lasting memories for you and your guests.
A Favourite Wedding Memory
Matt’s favourite wedding memory is his own. In 2019, he married at Houchins, Coggeshall. For his first dance, he and his brother recorded an acoustic version of Wake Me Up by Avicii. He and his wife then performed a choreographed routine to the track. Consequently, it became a moment he treasures forever.
Advice for Couples
Matt’s advice is clear: choose suppliers you can trust. Professionals who care about your day will remove stress. Therefore, you’ll enjoy every moment of your once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Trends for 2025/26
Matt sees some exciting trends in weddings. For example, couples are choosing:
Live music throughout the day
Singing waiters for a surprise effect
Ibiza-style saxophone with DJs
In addition, pairing these with close-up magic is growing in popularity. Imagine live music during the drinks reception while a magician mingles with your guests. Together, they create laughter, amazement, and unforgettable memories.
Booking Timeline
Matt is often booked two to three years in advance. However, he can sometimes accept late bookings if the date is free. Booking early is best because it gives him more time to prepare playlists and learn your chosen songs.
Fun Fact
When he’s not performing, Matt loves adventure sports. For example, he enjoys skiing, snowboarding, biking, motorbikes, and kitesurfing. This high-energy lifestyle reflects the passion he brings to every performance.
