Ceremony, MC, DJ. Any combination.

Reception MC
Grand entrance, speeches, cake, first dance and every announcement in between, kept on time and kept fun. More on the MC role.
Dance floor DJ
Music for cocktail hour, dinner and a dance floor built around your crowd, mixed live by someone who's been doing it since 2005. More on the DJ set.
Sample running sheet
How a wedding night with John flows
Every wedding gets its own running sheet, built with you. Here's an example of a reception, so you can see where the mic and the music hand to each other without a handover.
Guests arrive
Cocktail music sets the tone while you're off with the photographer.
DJ
Grand entrance
The room is primed, the song is cued, and you walk in to a crowd already on its feet.
MCDJ
Speeches
Speakers briefed, names checked, walk-up music for each one, and the clock watched for you.
MCDJ
Cake and first dance
One announcement, one song, every camera ready. Then the floor opens for everyone.
MCDJ
Dance floor
Your must-plays, your crowd and none of your do-not-plays, through to the end of the night.
DJ
Last song and farewell
The big finish, a send-off arch or sparklers, and a room that didn't want it to end.
MCDJ
Example only. Your timings, formalities and music are planned with you.
Ceremony too
Marry you, then MC the party
When your celebrant is also your MC and DJ, the ceremony music, the walk back up the aisle and the reception all come from one plan and one sound system. One meeting, one running sheet, one person who knows your story by heart.

FAQ
Wedding DJ and MC questions
Can we book John for just the reception?
Yes. Ceremony, MC and DJ can be booked in any combination. Most couples book the reception MC and DJ, and many add the ceremony so the whole day runs on one plan.
Is John a registered marriage celebrant?
Yes. John has been a registered marriage celebrant since 2019 and has married 200 couples. He handles the legal paperwork as part of the ceremony booking.
Can we choose the music for our wedding?
Yes. You fill in a music questionnaire with your must-plays, your do-not-plays and the songs for each big moment, from the entrance to the last song. John reads the room for everything in between.
Do you help with the wedding running sheet?
John builds it with you. Every moment gets a time, a formality and the music that goes with it, and your venue and suppliers get a copy so everyone works from the same plan.
How do you make sure names are said correctly?
Every speaker, bridal party member and family member is checked with you before the day, so nobody's name gets stumbled over in front of your guests.
Do you travel for weddings outside Melbourne?
