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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really the best I’ve seen, and working with John was easy and a pleasure. Wasn’t anything he wouldn’t do or help with for my wife and I. Went above and beyond. Thank you John for everything you did.

We had the pleasure of having John as our celebrant for our wedding on 26/09/2025. From the initial enquiry, John has been absolutely amazing and we instantly knew that he was the one we wanted marrying us!!!! For the ceremony, he brought the good vibes - he made the ceremony so fun, entertaining and inclusive of the guests. John got to know us personally as a couple; he made the whole process so fun and easy - including Zoom calls which comprised of banter and laughs, reassurance and guidance. He was always a message away when we had questions, and has always been so helpful. We absolutely LOVED having him up there - sharing our love story in such a sincere, entertaining and humorous way - just like we asked. He made our guests laugh and really set the tone for our wedding!!!! We cannot speak more highly of John - we absolutely love him & we are SOOOOO grateful we chose him as our celebrant. He is now a friend; so much so, we asked him to party with us as a guest at the reception because he IS THAT GOOD!!!!!!!! 500/10 in our honest opinion… John, thank you so much for everything. You saved the day when things didn’t go to plan and it doesn’t go unnoticed. You’re a man of honour and full of so much enthusiasm for your job. THANK YOU! Love from the Scerri’s ❤️

John is an absolute legend! He was our celebrant as part of Weekday Weds and he made everything so easy and simple for us, which is exactly what we were looking for. He will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy and is so impressively organised. We had a really great experience. Don’t hesitate and definitely book John in!

We had the absolute pleasure of having John Edney as our DJ, MC and Celebrant for our wedding and we honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better. From the very beginning, John’s organisation and communication were outstanding. He was always one step ahead, making the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. He truly listened to us, understood our vision and made sure every detail reflected who we are as a couple. John’s calm, confident presence put us at ease from the start and on the day itself, he was simply magnificent. He struck the perfect balance of professionalism, warmth and personality — everything flowed beautifully and the ceremony felt so personal and heartfelt. Then as our MC and DJ, he kept the energy just right and the dance floor alive! So many of our family and friends raved about him, commenting on how genuine, fun and engaging he was throughout the entire day. John, thank you for being such a special part of our wedding. We’ll always be grateful for the role you played in making it truly unforgettable! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a celebrant, MC, or DJ — you’ll be in amazing hands!

Couples who are looking for someone who feels like a close friend, takes the time to listen, provides gentle advice and makes you feel like your supported beyond what is expected of a celebrant - make sure you choose John. From the very beginning, John made us feel excited for our wedding celebration rather than feel like another thing that we had to organise. He guided us on focusing on what was important, and leaned heavily on what was going to feel authentically ‘us’ - whilst honouring our unique personalities as individuals. Thank you John for bringing the fun, banter and laughter and we look forward to seeing more content on all the couples you get to marry (alongside your DJ/MC-ing).

We chose to hire John as both a wedding celebrant and MC for our reception, and simply put, it’s the best decision we made for our wedding. He made the planning process simple and as stress free as can be! He was always crazy quick to respond, super helpful with ideas and recommendations for how the day should run and made great recommendations regarding other vendors, making decision making far easier than anticipated. Funny and charming, John kept everyone engaged throughout our ceremony, blending our story with humour and love. He was excellent at keeping the night going for our entire reception, keeping everyone (including us!) on track throughout the night. You know you made a good choice when nearly all of your guests go out of their way to praise your MC/Celebrant. I would recommend John to anyone.

We were lucky enough to have John as our celebrant and MC for wedding in February. We asked to keep it short, fun and exciting and he delivered very step of the way. He was always there to answer any questions we had and made us feel super comfortable, even on the day he kept us both calm and in control. We couldn't have asked for anyone better to have married us, we can't recommend him highly enough!

John was an amazing celebrant/DJ/MC for us and we can’t recommend him enough. From our first meeting with him, John made us feel completely at ease. He has such a calm, warm energy and a real gift for making things feel personal. Our ceremony was everything we hoped for - heartfelt, relaxed, and full of laughter. It felt like us, and that’s all thanks to the time and care John put into getting to know our story. As our MC and DJ, he was just as incredible. The night flowed so smoothly, and he brought the perfect balance of fun and professionalism. The dance floor was full all night and the vibe was spot on. John, thank you so much for bringing such heart and magic to our day. We feel so lucky to have had you there, we hope you enjoy your shirt!

John was absolutely fantastic! He was such a fun spirit in the lead up to the wedding. His questionnaires were so comprehensive and when combined with his confidence he put our pre wedding jitters completely at ease. The day was absolutely seamless and despite a few timings being different than expected (with food and speeches), John worked his magic to ensure all our key moments were perfect and transitioned us between speeches, first dances, boogieing, and games fluidly. His preparation and on day coordination was better than we thought possible and are so thankful that we got John to be the celebrant, MC, and DJ.

John was seriously one of the highlights of our whole wedding. We had him as our celebrant, MC and DJ and there were smiles galore the entire time! Throughout the entire planning process he was devoted, prepared and super helpful with any one of our needs, big or small. All of our guests couldn’t stop talking about the amazing vibes John brought from the ceremony, all the way to the dancefloor. John holds a special place in our hearts forever!

We had John as our Celebrant / MC and our experience was first class. John nailed the vibe of both the ceremony and reception. He was sincere whilst being funny and we couldn’t have asked for any more. But that was just the wedding day. The most impressive thing about John was his professionalism from our first meeting. John is quite laid back and very witty which is what you see on his socials. But what you don’t see is how organised he is. He was like a mentor to us from start to finish. We had multiple meetings with John where he took all the stress out of the whole process. He went above and beyond to ensure our day was perfect. We’re so happy we chose John. We genuinely feel like we have made a friend and we couldn’t be more grateful.
