John Edney, Melbourne wedding celebrant, DJ and MC, standing in a winery barrel room

Melbourne wedding celebrant, MC and DJGuests will ask how long we've been friends.

  • Someone forgot the rings.

    Nobody will ever know. I carry a spare set.

  • You know the uncle who always gets his phone out.

    So does everyone else, by the end of the ceremony.

  • The room isn't going for the cheeky version.

    You won't notice the moment I switch.

  • The dance floor goes quiet at ten.

    We already planned for that.

None of it makes the photos. All of it makes the day.

One person, start to finish

Most weddings pass you from celebrant to MC to DJ. Three briefs, three personalities, and plenty of room for something to slip through the gaps.

With me it's one conversation from your first call to the last song. By the time I pick up the mic at your reception, I already know your story, your people and the songs that matter.

Kate and Tim on their wedding day, married by celebrant John Edney

★★★★★

A number of our guests asked how long we'd been friends with John because the ceremony and music were just so perfectly us. They were shocked when we told them today was the first time we'd met in person.

As the MC, he kept the night running smoothly, and as a DJ he absolutely delivered. The dance floor was pumping all night and the music was amazing!!!!

Every dumb question, at all hours of the day, was answered with patience. And when it came to the big day, everything just fell into place beautifully with John's help.

Melbourne wedding celebrant, DJ and MC questions

Quick answers. Anything else, just ask.

Do you work as a celebrant, DJ and MC at the same wedding?

Yes, and that's what most couples book me for. With me it's one conversation from your first call to the last song. By the time I pick up the mic at your reception, I already know your story, your people and the songs that matter. See the celebrant, DJ and MC package.

Where are you based and where do you travel?

I'm based in Plenty, in Melbourne's north east. I work across Melbourne, the Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula, plus Australia wide and international.

How much does a Melbourne wedding celebrant cost with you?

Celebrant fees include all legal paperwork and the Births, Deaths and Marriages fees. A discount applies when you book more than one service. My price guide shows where the numbers land.

How long have you been doing this?

I've been working weddings and events since 2005 and I've been a registered marriage celebrant since 2019. That's more than 1,700 weddings and events so far.

Can we book just one service?

Of course. Book me as your marriage celebrant, your wedding DJ, your wedding MC, or any combination.

How far ahead should we book?

It's partly luck. A popular date might still be free six weeks out, and another might go two years ahead. If you're even a little bit interested, send through the enquiry form and I'll check your date.

Do you host corporate and community events too?

Yes. I host conferences, awards nights, galas, charity, sporting and community events. Have a look at event hosting.

What happens if you get sick?

I have a strong network of celebrants I trust, and a replacement is one call away. For DJ and MC work, I'm connected with agencies that can book a replacement at very short notice.

Is your date still free?

Tell me a little about your plans and I'll come back to you with availability and my info pack. Rather talk? Call 0407 877 232.
