As a fellow celebrant, DJ and MC, I couldn't recommend John enough. He's super talented and so diligent and reliable. If you book him, you will be extremely well looked after and have a great day. No matter what happens, he's got your back. He's a leader in the industry and just an all-round legend.

John was an amazing celebrant. He worked with us closely creating a special ceremony with lots of laughs and love. He also will help fluff dress when your bridal party is being lazy ;). He worked so well with our DJ as they are good friends and worked like two peas in a pod together. He was a fast responder even at 1am the night before the wedding. He was a vendor we highly recommend and grateful we chose. Thank you for everything John.

Planning a wedding can be daunting but one of the best decisions we made was in having John as our celebrant/MC/DJ. There was zero anxiety around communication and what was needed in the lead up and on our wedding day. John was professional, generous with his time and knowledge, and always easy to reach when needed. We had a very stressful couple of weeks in the lead up to our wedding day due to a variety of unforeseen circumstances but John was kind, empathetic, and reassuring. The day of our wedding went without a hitch and we had a wonderful time. John was punctual and had everything set up and ready to go before we arrived at the venue. The ceremony was beautiful and the dance floor was pumping all night! Everyone had a great time and we are convinced that that was the best wedding ever! John’s cost may seem a bit more mid range compared to a few other cheaper options but trust me, when you’re planning something as important as a wedding, you don’t want cheap. You want good and reliable. Especially if you’re planning without a coordinator, you want to reduce the risk of things going wrong as you won’t be able to fix things yourself on the day. John was the key to everything running smoothly and as MC and DJ as well, he was one of the only other person on the day who understood the chain of events that needed to happen. Thank you, John! Wish we could get married all over again so we can relive the wild night that was our wedding 😄

If you are thinking of booking John for your wedding, Do it! you won’t regret it. We booked John as our celebrant, MC & DJ, the way that he seamlessly managed all 3 roles was very impressive. It also made the planning process much easier for us as we didn’t have to manage 3 seperate vendors. We knew after our first meeting with John that he was the exact person we needed to make our day happen! Truely went above and beyond to ensure the day was everything we wanted, a true professional! We cannot thank you enough for the day John, it went so well & we could not be happier!

We hired John to be our celebrant, MC and DJ. We honestly couldn't have chosen anyone better. John's quick humour and warm personality kept us at ease. He also assisted in making sure our day run smoothly and communicated so well with wedding people/vendors. We can't reccomend him enough. Our criteria when we were looking for a celebrant was someone not boring- we definitely recieved that and more! Thank you thank you John.

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!

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

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.
