ABOUT ME
Hey there, I'm John
I legitimately have the best job in the world, as your celebrant I have the ability to turn a Facebook relationship status from ‘Engaged’ to ‘Married’!
And as a DJ and MC I get to help you keep the party going and bring the vibes through to the reception.
People remember three things from an event, the service, the food and the entertainment. Don’t let these be the parts you place the least value on!
These are the things I want you to remember too, almost like you’re a guest at your own wedding!

Marriage Celebrant
Relax and enjoy your special day that you worked so hard to plan!
As your wedding celebrant, it's my job to balance the love with the LOLs and to serve the ceremony without making myself the centre of attention, a bit like the bass and drums in a rock song, not stealing the show but creating a situation where without them, the song would suck!
Your wedding day is an important day full of emotions, excitement and a lot of moving parts. As your celebrant, I bring these elements together. From the exchange of vows to the laughter shared with family and friends, every moment is carefully managed to make your celebration truly unforgettable.
Whether you envision a classic and timeless affair or a more contemporary celebration, I am dedicated to bringing your vision to life! I work with you to plan a day that is uniquely yours, guiding you and providing advice as someone with years of experience. We can work together to create a personalised experience that you can enjoy forever.
DJ
Take your event to the next level with a professional wedding DJ!
As a DJ, it's more than just pressing play or being a human jukebox, my experience has taught me how to read a room..
Let's say you have 100 people at your reception, it's likely those 100 people would never be in the same room for any other reason, which leaves us with a very broad range of music tastes within the venue. It's my job to find the sweet spot and keep everyone energised, dancing and happy!
Elevate your celebration with the expertise of a seasoned DJ who goes beyond simply playing music. You get an unforgettable atmosphere tailored to the unique experience you want to provide at your wedding or event!
MC
Let an experienced and skilled MC take the stress out of your day!
As an MC, voice is important but it's secondary to being a timekeeper. You may have a friend or family member who is a great public speaker and a little bit funny (maybe), but how will they go keeping the show on the road?
Can they liaise with the venue & other suppliers whilst keeping everything on time? What would they do if speeches were running 20 minutes over time and the kitchen was ready to bring out the main course that's starting to go cold? You can find out, or you can put your trust in someone who has done this countless times since 2005!
Further, as far as voice is concerned, I have had the honour of training with radio & TV host, voice over artists, journalists and voice coaches to make myself the best possible wedding and event host!
Vanessa Samuels We were beyond lucky to have John as our celebrant, MC, and DJ for our wedding on 21 March 2025. He was truly the heart and soul of our day, making every moment feel magical! The ceremony was deeply personal, heartfelt, and beautifully delivered—our guests were laughing, crying, and completely captivated. As our MC, he kept everything running seamlessly, engaging our guests with warmth, charm, and the perfect touch of humor. And as our DJ, he absolutely nailed it! The dance floor was packed all night, and the energy was electric. John is professional, talented, and genuinely invested in making every couple’s day unforgettable. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better, and we can’t recommend him highly enough! Lani V We hired John as our celebrant, DJ and emcee and he absolutely nailed it! My partner and I don't love attention and were looking for someone who could command the room and distract our guests long enough to keep their eyes off us, and from our very first conversation we knew John would be able to deliver exactly what we wanted. He is warm and hilarious, highly professional (without ever being boring), and approaches weddings with his extensive knowledge and experience without ever making things feel old hat. He immediately embraced our quirky wedding plans and understood our ideas and concerns, and offered plenty of great suggestions of his own. He was always quick to respond to emails and returned calls quickly. He even offered to be the "bad guy" to chat with another vendor on our behalf when we identified a small problem. We cannot fault John's pre-wedding services. Cut to the wedding day and John just kept on hitting every mark. His extensive prep work ensured all three of us were super organised and the actual ceremony just flew by. John was prepared with plenty of equipment for ceremony and reception and has a failsafe for everything on the tech side. And his DJing was perfect too - we have unorthodox tastes and John not only adapted perfectly, but was able to fill in gaps with musical choices of his own. We had so many compliments from our guests about how great he was on the night. In short: John is the very best, and we had so much fun working with him. We wish we could keep him around to organise our daily lives. Lauren Abela John was absolutely amazing as the celebrant for our ceremony. He nailed the brief to perfection. Throughout the wedding planning process he was so responsive and even helped me with things not related to the ceremony. I feel like John has become our friend. Thank you so much John! Barney Adams We engaged John as the celebrant, MC and DJ for our wedding. John was fantastic to deal with and we would highly recommend engaging him for all three services. He was well structured in his approach to gathering information from us and flexible with meeting times. He kept all the necessary preparation moving forward with gentle reminders that weren't overbearing or too frequent. He always came across as reliable and professional, so we never worried about whether he would show up and get it all done. On the day, he made us feel comfotrable and executed well on the requests and input that we had given him through the process. He enforced the 'no phones during the ceremony' rule effectively and humourously. Dealing with one friendly and well organised vendor for three different services saves a lot of time and hassle, so just go for it. Kesia Amey My Husband and I couldn’t recommend John highly enough! We had him as part of our wedding day for Celebrant, MC & DJ service and he nailed it all. He is extremely detail oriented and asks you all the right questions through he’s face to face or online calls and the online questionnaires you complete. He has a great sense of humour and tailors it to your preferences, with his own quirky personality. You would not be disappointed! Jess Evans James Rowe John is probably the best celebrant you’ll ever find. He’s the Jack of all trades (celebrant, MC, DJ). He’s really patient, and is really understanding when it comes to fine tuning details of your ceremony. We first came to John with the idea of a smaller wedding, though we canceled it due to it quickly becoming something we were not passionate about. He was really supportive in all of our decisions to cancel our traditional wedding. We decided we wanted it to be on our terms, and ended up eloping in our family home with John performing a legals only ceremony. John is really fun and easy going, and has the best energy. He understands not one shoe fits all, and will customise everything to the individual couple. 10/10 Loren Jurjevic IN JOHN WE TRUST!!!! If you’re looking for a MC and DJ look no further. My husband and I recently got married and we feel beyond lucky to have found John. He is hilarious, so easy to communicate with, goes above and beyond and brings absolute vibes. John saved the day when our original DJ cancelled on us last minute. John was so accommodating to our plans that he set up 3 different DJ locations across our venue. He was so excited about all the ideas we shared with him, you can really feel the passion and love he has for his job. Throughout the night he was an absolute dream to work with, he played absolute bangers and coordinated all the guests with ease. Look no further!! Renee Jane Absolutely amazing, kept everything slowly the entire night, kept the ceremony from being boring and typical and made it our own, highly recommend :) Katrina Agnew John was recently the celebrant who married us. He was professional yet laid back and absolutely sensational to deal with. He was happy to reply to all my weird random txt questions at weird times and helped to put as at ease when we struggled with our personal vows. Our face to face zoom meetings were always great catch ups and the meetings didn’t feel like meetings but informal chats which always covered everything we needed to discuss. On the day I was a bit late due to traffic and he kept the crowd entertained. He was great during the ceremony and everything went so smoothly and to plan. Afterwards he has also been a great help with tips and advice re name changes etc. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you John for being a part of and making our day such a special one!! Rebecca Sturrock Highly recommend!! John was our Celebrant, DJ and MC at our wedding recently and he was fantastic. During the ceremony he was very calm with a bubbly sense of humour which created a great atmosphere and ensured our day was stress free. In the lead up to our special day John made sure we were well informed and knew what to expect. He was always available to answer any questions we had. Would highly recommend John!!Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 84 reviews,showing only 5 star reviews
