ACOUSTIC MUSICIAN & DJ
FOR WEDDINGS AND EVENTS
Frequently Asked Questions
-
I provide live acoustic music for ceremonies, canapés, and dinner sets, as well as DJ services for the dance floor.
My packages are set at base rates of 3 hours, 6 hours and 8 hours, or I can do a custom quote to suit your needs and requirements!
-
I’m based in Gympie, QLD, Australia, but I’m always ready to hit the road and bring the perfect soundtrack to your special day wherever it unfolds.
Please note that travel fees may apply. Let’s chat about creating the perfect atmosphere and turning your wedding dreams into reality!

To put it simply, I typically play love songs, pub songs and occasionally club songs.
For a more in depth answer, I cover a wide range of styles from pop, rock, country, folk, classic love songs, R&B, indie, basically anything your heart desires!
Here is my song list for you to get a better understanding of the songs I know. Please note, this list is not inclusive of every song I know, it’s just my 60 most requested songs. If you’d like to know if I can play a song that’s not on the list, please don’t hesitate to ask!
-
Absolutely! Every package offers up to 2 song requests for me to learn for the special moments of the day (walking down the aisle, signing, ceremony exit, first dance etc.)
I will send through a questionnaire approximately 3 months before your wedding for you to let me know what songs you’d like me to learn. I ask that your answer is finalised at least one month before your day to allow me enough time to learn and perfect your request.
If you’d prefer the recorded version of a song and would like me to simply hit play for you, that is no issue at all. Just let me know in the questionnaire!
-
Yes... with a few “ifs, ands, or buts”
For acoustic sets, I’m happy to take requests if I know the song and you’re happy for me to. If it’s something I haven’t learned yet, I’ll have to politely pass (no awkward half-remembered choruses here!).
For DJ sets, I’m also happy to take requests as long as you’re good with it and I can access the track. If the venue has little to no service, I might not be able to download surprise requests on the spot. Technology keeps me humble sometimes!
Pro Tip: ask guests in their RSVP to list a song that’ll get them on the dance floor. That way, you can send me the list beforehand and I can come prepared - making sure everyone hears a favourite without any last-minute scrambling.
-
Of course! I bring along my own professional PA system which can be plugged in or can run on battery power for up to 6 hours - perfect for outdoor ceremonies where power isn’t available. You are welcome to use my PA system between sets for the ceremony, speeches and other formalities if you’d like! I also provide lighting for when it’s time to cut a rug on the dance floor during my DJ sets!

Testimonials
“Matt just played at our wedding and I’m so glad we chose him. He went above and beyond to make our day everything we wanted - even learning a song 2 weeks out from the date! Every silly request we had he was able to do and was very thorough in the booking process and settling our nerves. He played a mix of acoustic sets and then DJ late into the night. Our guests were complementing him all day and we couldn’t get some of them off the dance floor! Thank you again Matt.”
