John was amazing! If you are on the fence, don’t be, just book him in! From the very first call to our wedding day John made the whole process easy and stress free! He answered all our questions and ensure we had everything covered for our big day! Could not recommend John enough, I’d book with him again!

John is absolutely incredible. We were lucky enough to have John as our Celebrant, DJ & MC for our wedding last week. I am so glad we found him. John was approachable, funny, caring and so responsive through the whole process. We had a little hiccup on our side during planning when we realised we didn't have all the paperwork we needed. I emailed John and he called me instantly, calming me down, talking through options and generally just being great!! The on our big day he was beyond amazing. I knew we were in good hands, but I didn't realise just how good. He guided us through the ceremony, read the room, matched our vibe and then kept the party going all night perfectly. 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. John, we can't thank you enough for being such a big part of making our day so special.

We hired John as our celebrant and MC for our wedding this year! And oh my god we couldn’t recommend him enough, he had our interests in hand, sneaking us away to make sure we actually ate, he had everyone laughing during our ceremony, and even now a week later we have people who have said they want him as their celebrant, and have people boasting about how well he did to engage everyone!

We couldn’t have asked for a better celebrant than John! Thank you so much for being such a special part of our day. You told our story so beautifully and made the entire ceremony feel so personal and meaningful. You made the whole process so easy and stress free, and were always so responsive, which we really appreciated. We truly loved every moment and had so much fun throughout the whole process!

John was an absolute pleasure to work with through the entire process of planning our wedding! He was able to give us so much advice and direction and thought of things we hadn't which was a life saver when you're stressed about planning a wedding. On the day itself he did so much to keep things light hearted and fun which was our number one goal for the ceremony and had both our families laughing and smiling the entire time. Thankyou so much John the day genuinely wouldn't of been as good as it was without you!

John was very professional from start to finish. Dealing with him pre-wedding and even during the wedding was very easy. He is an excellent DJ and we had a ball on the dancefloor. 100% recommend!

Amazing and stress-free experience John made everything so simple and stress-free! We only needed help with the legalities after eloping overseas, and he handled everything perfectly. He was the easiest vendor to work with, incredibly approachable, and made the entire process comfortable from start to finish. The day was beautiful, and John’s relaxed and friendly nature made all the difference. We’re beyond happy we chose him and would recommend his services to anyone.

where to start?! after bonding over burritos in our first zoom meeting, we knew John was going to be perfect for us- John guided us every single step of the way through our wedding and acted closer to a friend throughout the entire process. every dumb question at all hours of the day were answered with patience, and all aspects of our wedding day fell beautifully into place with the help of John. honestly, if you're looking for a kickass celebrant who is fun an honest and prepared to go the extra mile for you and your special day, you can stop looking. you've just found him

1000000/10 John Edney!!! We cannot recommend John highly enough. Having him as our celebrant, MC and DJ was one of the best decisions we made for our Wedding!! Right through the planning, John was an absolute pleasure to work with. He is genuinely kind and fun, and brings such great energy. His communication is fantastic, he always responds to our questions so quickly and made the entire process feel super easy and stress free!!! The ceremony he created was beautiful, exactly what we wanted, something heartfelt and personal, while also light hearted and fun. It felt truely perfect for us! 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!!!! John is incredibly talented at what he does, but more importantly he’s a genuinely wonderful human. If you want a wedding that is the best ever, fun and unforgettable, John is the man for you! Thanks for being so amazing John!!

Do not let this guy pass you by… if he’s available, BOOK him!!! John is a magnificent celebrant/DJ/MC-host and we couldn’t have asked for a better night. He was a huge part of our wedding; we arranged for him to wear multiple hats (celebrant, DJ, and MC), and everything, including the planning, was smooth, heartfelt and perfectly executed. We especially loved how he made us feel so reassured; it was easy to trust that everything was taken care of, and when you’re feeling overwhelmed with excitement and nerves, having a solid person to rely on really helps. Our guests loved him, too! They raved about how well he set the tone and the good vibes he fostered on the night. Thank you John, for putting us at ease and for delighting everyone with your humour, authenticity and effortless charm.

John was such an incredible part of our November 2025 wedding and truly felt more like a friend than a vendor. From the moment we started planning, he offered so much more than what you’d expect from a celebrant. He was reassuring, thoughtful and always one step ahead. I felt completely supported throughout the entire process and his calm confidence made such a difference in the lead-up to the day. Our ceremony was personal, heartfelt and perfectly balanced with his natural humour. He has such a warm, engaging presence that our guests immediately connected with him and still comment on how welcome and informed they felt. (Even when the bride was 30mins late) As our MC, he held everything together seamlessly. The entire day and evening flowed beautifully even with some unexpected weather, changes to timeline and we were able to fully relax knowing John had it all under control. He created such an easy, joyful atmosphere and genuinely cared about every detail. We couldn’t imagine our big day without him, wouldn't have had anyone else be part of our day. If you’re looking for someone professional, funny, organised and deeply invested in your day — John is exceptional and the only celebrant for you. Thank you John - we love you. E & K. xo

John is the absolute G.O.A.T when it comes to DJ/MC/Celebrants! He was an absolute legend and was very flexible working around a few unusual circumstances at our wedding. He kept the atmosphere fun and lively and everyone in attendance could not stop raving about how incredible he is. The ceremony was tailored to reflect our personalities and John made everyone feel at ease. We absolutely recommend John to anyone looking for that personalised touch from someone that understands. John, you rock!

John, Where do we start. From the very first moment we met you, we knew we wanted you to officiate our wedding. You are funny, kind, respectful, professional, warm hearted but also know how to keep a ceremony and reception flowing and going! You stood out the easiest when we’re looking for a celebrant, MC & DJ with these qualities. You know how to look after your couples and you get to know them on a whole deeper level which makes us feel like life long friends and we have known you for years. We couldn’t be more grateful and thankful for everything you have done for us from leading up to the wedding to the actual day. DONT THINK TWICE! BOOK JOHN HIS HANDS DOWN THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS Keep being you! Love always Cass & Josh

John was the celebrant for our wedding and he was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire lead up for our wedding day and on the day as well! He always made himself available when we had more questions and his response time was incredibly quick! Guests made comments about how captivating and wonderful he was on the day and he made our Wedding day even more special.

John blew us away with how much he personalised everything to make our day feel so special. He really took the time to get to know us, not only as a couple, but also as individuals to make sure our wedding was tailored to us. The care and effort he put into our wedding was incredible and honestly, the day wouldn’t have gone nearly as smoothly without him. He had a plan for every little hiccup and even stepped in to fix things that weren’t his responsibility. We honestly feel like we’ve gained a friend through this whole experience. Thank you so much, John! Absolute legend.

We are counting our lucky stars that we stumbled upon John's instagram page during our wedding planning all that time ago! We had our wedding last week, and although John has thanked us for having him as our celebrant, MC & DJ - the pleasure really was all ours. John's professionalism, witty humour, ability to draw in the crowd and pack the dancefloor, personal touches and attention to detail certainly did not go unnoticed, by us AND our guests. I didn't think a celebrant could make such an impression on wedding guests (sorry to celebrants!), but SO many of our guests on the day and since, have commented to us about how amazing John is at what he does! He had just the right amount of banter to match ours, and perfectly aligned himself with the vibe of the entire wedding. We couldn't have asked for a better day and we truly have John to thank for how smoothly everything went. If I could give him 5 million stars, I would.. but I'll have to settle for 5! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
