"We don't just fill a dance floor or set up equipment, we design experiences," is how Matt Jefferies Entertainment opens its own story. Based in Lilydale and servicing the Yarra Valley, the Melbourne CBD and beyond, the husband-and-wife operation runs premium DJ sets alongside a growing line-up of photo and video booths, and says it has performed at hundreds of weddings, private milestones and corporate functions for clients including Rimpa Global, L'Oréal, Coles and AusBiotech.
The division of labour is spelled out on the About page. Matt is "the heartbeat of our entertainment services", with years behind the decks and a reputation the site builds around reading a room — "seamlessly transitioning between background ambience and a packed, high-energy dance floor". Keiz is "the mastermind behind the scenes" and director of the photo-entertainment side, bringing a background as an internationally qualified registered nurse, formal training in creative photography and a history in information technology to booths that have to both look good and keep running. "Partners in life and business," they write. "Since tying the knot in 2018, we've poured our shared passion for technology, premium sound, and flawless event logistics into creating Melbourne's most trusted boutique entertainment service."
The DJ work covers weddings, sporting club nights, corporate galas and brand activations, in-store promotions, school formals and university balls, and private parties from 21sts to 50ths — "everything from 80s retro to modern Top 40", as the site puts it. Every client gets an online planning portal to lock in "Must Play" favourites and "Do Not Play" tracks, and every booking ships as a full production: premium sound, professional decks, microphones for speeches, dance-floor lighting and uplighting. The business says its team and equipment are fully insured and that all gear is regularly tested and tagged. On the corporate side it cites venues including the MCEC, Marvel Stadium, the MCG, Crown Melbourne, Pullman Melbourne Albert Park, Mercure Melbourne and Sofitel Melbourne, and for weddings it works across Melbourne, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula.
Mirrors, 360s and a robot arm
The mirror photo booth is the flagship: a full-length interactive mirror that guests touch, follow animations on and pose in front of, with a professional attendant at every hire, SMS sharing straight to phones and digital copies of everything afterwards. It comes in a Classic version with interchangeable frames — black, gold or timber, to suit the room — and an LED version with a colour-changing frame for parties.
The 360 video booth puts guests on a platform while a rotating arm carrying a GoPro circles them, turning the footage into a slow-motion clip with music and overlays that is shared by QR code within seconds, with custom frames and event branding available. For corporate work the GlamBot goes further: an industrial-grade robotic camera arm producing 4K slow-motion video, "the same high-speed robotic technology seen at the Grammys and the Met Gala" in the company's framing, with an on-site director coaching each guest through the pose. The live photo mosaic wall rounds out the brand-activation menu — guests' booth photos become coded stickers on a physical board that gradually reveals a company logo or hero image.
The first dance gets its own product. The business's "Dancing on a Cloud" effect uses professional dry-ice machines running on solid carbon dioxide rather than heated fog fluid, so the cloud stays strictly below knee height, dissipates without residue and — the company says — will never trigger a venue's smoke alarms. Because the same team runs the sound and lighting, the dry-ice launch is cued directly to the song rather than supplied as a stand-alone machine.
The recognition the business cites is specific. On its wedding DJ page it describes itself as a consistent finalist in the Victorian ABIA Wedding Awards since 2019, with a client rating exceeding 95 per cent, and as ranked among the top 15 to 20 wedding DJs in Australia for 2023 and 2024; its own blog counts more than 200 reviews on the ABIA website. A third-party feature on Wedding Services Melbourne records the 2019 ABIA finalist placings in both the DJ and photo booth categories, and a feature in Wedding and Bride magazine.
Behind the pair is a hand-picked team of booth attendants trained, the site says, to the same standard — and a stated promise that a booking is handled by the owners rather than an agency. "Together, we treat every single celebration as if it were our own."
