Celebrant, DJ, MC & more. . .
Hi, I'm John
_edited.png)
Based in Melbourne’s North-Eastern suburbs where I live with my family, the past 17 years have seen me speak in front of crowds of between two and 5,000 people; placing an emphasis on giving all crowds equal attention no matter the size.
The kind of events I conduct include; but are not limited to weddings, engagement parties, funerals, milestone parties, sporting events, trivia nights, school events, charity events and corporate events.
Whilst public speaking is a passion of mine, I have also provided DJ services to somewhere in the region of 1,000 events.
In 2018 I made the decision to shift my focus to playing a more significant role in people’s big days, utilising my skills and passion for public speaking to provide couples, families and individuals with the service I would want to receive myself.
Weddings are just part of my offering, I conduct ceremonies for all life stages including funerals, naming days, commitment ceremonies and vow renewal.
The kinds of ceremonies that can be conducted are only limited by your imagination.
My offering is based on my attention to detail, knowledge of music and my access to resources and contacts that enable me to host ceremonies ranging from intimate ceremonies to those attended by thousands.
Contact me today to see how I can make your event unforgettable.
What I do

Marriage celebrancy
Professionalism, care and compassion is what I bring to the table. You only get one shot at the biggest day of your life so let's get it right. Together we can put together a custom ceremony that will make everyone think we have known each other for years!

DJ, MC & event services
With 17 years experience as a DJ and MC, I have a proven track record of making events a success. With countless repeat clients in the corporate, government, sporting and education sectors I have the skills and know-how to fill any dance floor.

Trivia & event hosting
With over 12 years experience hosting trivia nights and events for pubs, charities, sporting clubs and corporate I am able to work with you to create an action packed event to either create maximum impact or raise maximum funds.
What they say

Amanda & Steve
John was absolutely fabulous from the first moment. We had the pleasure of John being our celebrant, MC and DJ. John went above and beyond in every way he could to help us. He is not only professional but friendly, easy going and amazing at his work. I would recommend him to anyone
Sasha & Alan
Just wanted to say thank-you for making our special day what it was. The ceremony was very last minute, John was able to turn our engagement party into a very intimate surprise wedding with very little notice. John’s speech about the two of us meeting had all our friends and family laughing and then crying. We are so glad John was able to marry us and would highly recommend him to anyone getting married.
Emma & Matt
John is simply just amazing!
For our special day, he not only was our celebrant, but also our MC & DJ and he put everything into our wedding day and more! John was brilliant to work with & really took the time to know every little detail about us & used this to make our day so wonderful!
We highly recommend John, he is the best & really took care of us & has become a great friend
Erin & Mick
John was incredible! He made the whole process seamless. Nothing is too big or small for him, he traveled to Airlie Beach for us, helped us with our stubby holders and helped us with vows. He is a superstar we are very lucky to have had his support throughout the entire process. Thank you!
Paula & James
John was the most incredible celebrant from the moment we booked him. Nothing was too big or too small for him to tackle or assist us with. He was always kind and supportive. John can definitely do it all! From arranging the live streaming of our event to 150 people, marrying us, DJing our reception (and so much more!) - John is the ultimate wedding all rounder.
Sammy & Yvan
John was great to work with, particularly around the stresses of COVID. He constantly strove to make sure our day was the best it could be, even in the highly dynamic situation that was a global pandemic. His can-do attitude, and ‘let’s make this happen’ approach certainly gave my wife and I comfort and confidence in the lead up to what definitely became a day we would never forget.
