DJ Matt P.

Starting off behind the scenes as a videographer, Matt quickly transitioned to the forefront as a dynamic MC/DJ. His humor and passion for making each event outstanding allows him to make everyone in the room feel comfortable and ready to have the best time. He loves meeting new people, learning something new from everybody that he meets. Matt’s great attention to detail, organization skills, and experience allow every one of his events go off without a hitch. He also uses this skill set to excel in Real Estate when he isn’t MCing or DJing. Knowing that communication is key before, leading up to, during, and after every event has allowed Matt to form strong relationships with everyone that he works with, from vendors and venues to couples, party hosts, and guests. Every event that he does instantly becomes his favorite, noting that “there is nothing like the natural high at the end of an evening when you know you gave your all and it all came together.” Matt’s exposure to various genres and extensive love for music gives him the ability to go from Rhythm and Blues to Bachata, Southern Rock, Shag and Salsa, and Dance to Disco seamlessly. Simply put, Matt is someone who “takes fun very seriously.” Often found leading the masses on the dance floor, he’s not shy to get the party started and get everyone engaged. Matt thrives on the energy that is created by bringing an entire group of people together with one mindset, and one celebration. Some of Matt's most recently attended event locations have included Morning Glory Farms - Monroe, NC, DuGaren Venues & Vineyards - Denver, NC, The Barrel Room at Triple C Brewing - Charlotte, NC, Veronet Vineyards & Winery, Project 658 - Kings Mountain, NC, and many more!

 
  • Split Second Sound picked a perfect DJ for our wedding! DJ Matt “Mischief” Piver was professional, thorough, and exceptionally easy to work with - not to mention he became a true friend over the course of our meetings with him. We appreciated his attention to detail, his ability to read the room, and to enter into the emotion and presence of the night. His “mischief” added joy to our night and spread laughter through our guests and ourselves. We’d recommend both Matt and Split Second Sound to any of our friends! God bless!

  • Matt was an amazing DJ! He was very communicative and understanding. When we told him our theme for our gala, he was so excited and had so many ideas and that really shone through at the event! His music choices and transitions were awesome! Having speakers and music transitions can be tricky, but with Matt, we didn’t even have to think about it which allowed us to focus on other aspects of our event. Highly recommend Matt and the Split Second family! They were all so wonderful!

  • We used Split Second Sound for our daughters Bat Mitzvah and we couldn’t recommend them enough!! The whole planning process was seamless. The team at Split Second matched us up with the Best DJ/MC ever.. Matt P. He was so helpful/patient during the whole event planning process, guiding us and asking us thoughtful questions about our event /event space that really helped make the day of, so much smoother. As of the actual party, it’s been a week and we are still smiling. DJ Matt was the PERFECT addition to our event.. he kept the event on track, listened to every note we gave him, kept all of us calm knowing he was running the show and when it was time to open the dance floor.. every age group was up dancing till the last song played.. we honestly did not want the night to end. Matt is a true professional, wonderful person and fantastic DJ/MC. Thanks again to whole Split Second family!

  • We are so glad we chose Split Second Sound for our recent wedding. Their level of organization and attention to detail was incredible. DJ Matt P was everything we could have hoped for. He worked with us to understand what we were looking for. It was clear he really cared about the success of our big day and from the ceremony through cocktails and the dancing at the reception it was perfect. Thanks DJ Matt P for helping to make our wedding a wonderful event!

  • DJ Matt Piver was absolutely incredible! From the moment the reception started, Matt set the perfect tone — his energy, timing, and ability to read the crowd were spot on. Every transition flowed seamlessly, and the dance floor stayed packed the entire night. He nailed our music preferences while mixing in crowd-pleasers that kept guests of all ages engaged and having fun.

  • You can tell DJ Matt loves what he does! From the very first call through our wedding day, Matt is very involved and excited to make every moment special and exactly as you dreamed it to be. Matt made sure the dance floor was packed all night from start to finish! Matt even joined us on the dance floor, as promised, for the Wobble! We had the absolute best time and our guests could not stop raving about our DJ!! Thank you so much Matt for making our wedding day music dreams come true!! Thank you, Kristin & Adam! :)
    Kristin Badik
  • DJ Matt P was fantastic for our wedding! He has a great process nailed down for figuring out what type(s) of music you want throughout different parts of your wedding. It made it really easy for my husband and I to stay organized and pick music together that made our celebration feel special and uniquely ours. DJ Matt P had the added challenge of handling sound in a few different settings at our venue, including a small clearing in a wooded area for our ceremony, an outdoor patio area for our cocktail hour and an indoor venue for the rest of our reception--sound was perfect and the transition from spot to spot at our venue was smooth. Our friends and family had a great time getting on the dance floor, he MC'd just the right amount and was fantastic, friendly and professional to work with. Thank you for helping make our wedding so special!

  • Matt Piver did an amazing job with communicating before, after and during. A couple pre-event conversations, very helpful with the SSS site and a great job with sharing playlists and songs. During the event he was fantastic with comfortably communicating with guest for requests, MCing and announcing speakers as well as assisting in coordinating guests (pictures and various instructions). Huge help and nothing felt over the top or out of place. Basically joined the family for the evening and kept it all moving. Thanks so much Bryan and Bahar.

  • For our wedding there was no question who we were booking for our DJ, it was a must to book Split Second Sound! We were very impressed with the whole process Vinny has set up. He was very informative about their business and what they’re about and what they offer! The process was extremely easy and seamless from booking to planning! We went through all of their DJs and picked Matt Piver for our wedding! He was absolutely amazing! We met with him twice before the wedding and was always just a text away if we needed him for anything! Our wedding was supposed to be outside but had to be moved inside and Matt was able to pivot without issue! Our venue also was struck by lightning the night prior and kept losing power but that did not interfere with the party at the reception! Matt was super prepared and had backup battery power and the music continued even without power to our venue! Split Second is amazing in always having a back up plan and knowing them I imagine their backup has a backup! We will always recommend Split Second Sound, especially Matt P, to anyone who needs a DJ to make their party one to remember!

  • Matt Piver was an outstanding DJ. He was very considerate and inquired about what we wanted. He was able to be in charge of his part the program without being pushy. He did a great job.

  • Matt Piver did a wonderful job leading the celebration. So pleased to party with him! Great job with the Jim and Lous anniversary celebration!
    Rodney Sadler
  • Matt Piver is the absolute BEST!!! From beginning to end, he exceeded every expectation we had. Our guests, friends, and family were raving about him during the wedding—and many were already asking for his contact information!! He went above and beyond by visiting tables during cocktail hour and dinner to gather song requests, making the experience even more personal and special for everyone. Throughout the night, he checked in with us (the bride and groom) at just the right moments, which we really appreciated. He played every single song we requested and completely avoided anything we didn’t want. We truly can’t thank or recommend him enough!!!!!!!

  • Our DJ Matt Piver was great! Even though my wedding was small, he kept everyone on the dance floor all night!
    Blair Abercrombie
  • DJ Matt was PHENOMENAL!!! We received so many compliments about the mix of music for our inter generational crowd!! Matt met with us via Zoom several times before the wedding to make sure he fully understood our vibes and what we wanted the night to look like — I can’t say enough great things about him and about Split Second Sound overall. It was seamless and perfect, as it should be!!!

    We've been so pleased with Matt as he's been the go to for our nonprofit's annual Gala for the past few years. He is a pleasure to work with, professional, and can read the crowd! He knows exactly what will get people on the dance floor. We can't wait to have him back again this year!

    We used Split Second Sound & DJ Matt for a company holiday party! It was a very seamless and wonderful process. He was very easy to work with, matched the energy of the individuals that I work with and everyone had a wonderful time overall. We will definitely use Split second sound again!

    Book it!!! We cannot say enough wonderful things about Matt Piver! From the moment we booked him for our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. He was professional, attentive, and took the time to really understand the vibe we wanted for our special day. He even helped us create the perfect playlist, making sure every moment—from the ceremony to the last dance—had the right energy and flow. The music selection was spot-on, and he was great at reading the crowd. He kept the dance floor packed all night long, and we had so many guests come up to us afterward saying how much fun they had. His transitions were seamless, and he made sure the timing for every part of the event was perfect. He also helped with the announcements, and his voice was clear and warm, never intrusive. It felt like he was truly invested in making our wedding day unforgettable. If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, personable, reliable, and able to adapt to your unique style, Matt is the one to choose. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out—thank you for making our wedding day even more magical! Highly recommend! 🎶💍

    So happy we chose to use Split second sound! From the ceremony music, to the end of the night dance party Dj Matt P brought the energy all day long. He made sure everything was reviewed and correct prior to the ceremony which showed as everything went perfectly on our wedding day. He takes his job seriously and really understands how much of an impact a good dj/music can have on the wedding!

    Split Second Sound is awesome!! My husband and I were privileged to have Matt Piver DJ our wedding day this August. We are so grateful to Matt for helping our event go smoothly both before and during our big day. He gave our guests an amazing, fun time!

    DJ Matt was AMAZING! We had him for our wedding this past June and he took the time to get to know us as a couple, our music preferences and our guests. We told him a story in passing about how early on as friends we did karaoke to “fat bottomed girls” and on our wedding day he set up karaoke for us during the dance portion so me and Zach were able to share that moment again with our guests. It was such a surprise and so so thoughtful! He kept the party going and knew exactly what the vibes were and when to play certain types of songs, our friends loved him! From cocktail hour music to dinner time and then dance time he played all the perfect music that also captured me and Zach as a couple. DJ Matt was awesome and highly recommend him!

    My husband and I are very big music people and were very specific about our vendor selection going into our wedding day. When we came across Split Second Sound we really liked everything about them and what they had to offer- especially that we got to hand select our DJ, and we truly picked the best- Matt Piver! Our first FaceTime call with him went great, he was extremely kind, got to know us and listen to our wants and needs. He gave extremely valuable insights, opinions and advice for all parts of the wedding day. Closer to the wedding he was extremely flexible to our schedule for our final chat about wedding day details, and again throughout having feedback on his experiences of what does/doesn't and what will/won't work in order to ensure our wedding day goes exactly how we envision it going.. And meeting him officially in person on the wedding day, we both really felt like we already had met. We were excited to see him and work with him all throughout the day. He even took some videos and made some amazing content to share on his social media page! We couldn't have asked for a better DJ to work with on our special day, we highly recommend not only Split Second Sound- but Matt Piver! We are so thankful :)

    My husband and I recently booked Matt P. as DJ and Steven as percussionist for a community event we hosted. We could not have been happier with their performance. They were very professional and yet very easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and the actual event. Matt played the perfect holiday selections during the dinner hour. When the dance portion began, Steven and Matt kept our guests on the floor the entire time. Their lighting was incredible, too! We have already had a call from a friend to get their booking info. We will certainly use them for any upcoming occasions. Thanks, Split Second Sound!

    If you're looking for a supremely professional and excellent experience, Split Second Sound is an absolute must. We were lucky to have DJ Matt cover my mother's 80th birthday celebration! Matt nailed it! I hadn't done Master of Ceremony (MC) work in years. Matt not only coached me through my script, but was always ahead of the game to help me navigate potential pitfalls during the celebration. Excellence- from front end administration (web site is super easy to navigate) to "gameday execution". Give Split Second Sound a go, you won't regret it.

    Matt was incredible! Ian & I want to express our sincerest thanks for making our wedding night an absolute blast! His music selection, energy, and skill were beyond amazing, and we’ve had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they’ve been to. Matt truly set the perfect mood for the evening by really getting to know us prior to our event. He asked detailed questions to ensure he understood our personalities and our vision for the wedding. His ability to read the room & reduce any awkward or uncomfortable moments was appreciated, and we had so many epic dance floor moments that we and our guests will remember forever. Matt's professionalism and enthusiasm from the planning stage to the last song of the night made the whole process a breeze. We appreciate the attention to detail and how our song choices were incorporated seamlessly into the mix. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him, and we're so grateful to have had Matt as our DJ. We've received so many compliments about his performance, and we're thrilled to have him as a part of our cherished wedding memories. Matt helped us create an unforgettable night. He rocks, and we'll be recommending him and Split Second Sound to anyone in need of an awesome DJ without hesitation! Thank you!

  • Matt came highly recommended and was the MC and DJ at our daughter’s wedding. He helped make this day amazing and memorable. His right hand man, Tobias, was great too. I highly recommend Matt Piver to MC and DJ at your event. You will not be disappointed !!
    Chad George
  • We had Matt Piver as our wedding DJ this past weekend and we had the BEST time!! I was nervous about people dancing but we had a packed dance floor all night. He played exactly what we wanted and did an awesome job mixing old and new - people could not stop telling us how it was the most fun they’d had at a wedding. A huge part of that is thanks to Matt!
    He also handled the audio for our outdoor ceremony and everybody in the crowd told us they could hear it perfectly, which I feel like never happens at outdoor weddings. We would totally recommend SSS and Matt specifically!
  • Matt Piver really blew it out of the water with my event! I didn’t expect an MC to be so hands on during my event but he took my schedule and ran with it, keeping everything on track. When we had a couple extra surprises with the timeline, he handled it like a breeze. They honored all of my requests and requirements that I documented prior to our big day and I couldn’t be more pleased with the professionalism and level of service Matt and his assistant provided. I do need to deduct a star because unfortunately the sound equipment just didn’t match the caliber of the service that SSS provided. I’m not sure if it was due to venue limitations but it was hard to hear the music during the introductions and dinner portion and our first dance song was staticky. Also, there was a glitch in the system while everyone was on the dance floor later in the night which caused a few minutes listening to the same song on repeat. Again, I don’t know if this was something beyond their control, but the sound quality was noticed by a few guests. I would recommend SSS to anyone else who is looking for a DJ to keep their wedding day timeline on track. Just ask ahead of time if there are certain limitations with your venue and the quality of sound.

    Thank you so much for sending Matt- couldn’t have been a nicer guy and played great music for us!  This was not an easy event and he was such a trooper during those really long rainy days!!  If we are ever back in Charlotte, we will be calling you! Thank you so much!
