Meet Paul | Wedding Celebrant, DJ & Event Host

Meet Paul.

The same person behind the ceremony, the music and the microphone.

A career built around audiences

A person, not a package.

I’m Paul Rayner. I’ve worked in radio since 1991 and as a DJ since 1993. Over the years I’ve learned that whether you’re standing behind the decks, presenting on stage or leading a personal ceremony, the most important skill is connecting with the people in front of you.

Today I work across Surrey, London and beyond as a wedding celebrant, DJ and event host. You can book one service or combine them for a celebration that feels cohesive from the opening words to the final track.

My DJ name is Ranger, and I own and edit DJWORX, the independent DJ technology publication I acquired in 2024.
