Now let's discuss the MC role:

When you choose me as your DJ, you have the option of having me professionally MC your wedding reception as well. I am very comfortable and natural on the microphone, allowing me to create a fun, relaxed and engaging atmosphere but without making myself the centre of attention. When I MC, I ensure the focus always remains on the newlyweds!

Alternatively, if you prefer to have a guest fulfill the MC role, you can still leverage my MC expertise by having me guide or coach your chosen MC on the day, ensuring they are confident in their responsibilities and deliver their best possible performance.

The MC role includes:
- Making all necessary announcements to keep guests informed
- Assisting with organizing the bridal party's entrance and announcing them into the room
- Introducing each person delivering a speech
- Leading the various formalities throughout the reception
- Continually liaising with the bride, groom, function manager, photographer, videographer, and speechmakers to ensure everyone is well-prepared for upcoming events, so that everything flows well and stays on time

Regardless of who assumes the MC role, booking me as your DJ also grants you access to my "MC Wedding Planner" form, which will allow you to easily compile all the information needed by the MC to successfully perform the role. Using this form will make your wedding planning much easier and will also contribute significantly to a smooth-flowing, stress-free reception.

Additional Ceremony Music Option Includes:

* DJ to provide 1 x speaker on a stand and microphone for celebrant (if needed)
* DJ will play half-hour of background music to set the mood as guests arrive
* DJ will play the chosen walking down the aisle song/s as bridesmaids and bride approach
* DJ will play 1 or 2 chosen songs during the signing of the registry
* DJ will play a chosen song as the newly-weds exit down the aisle together
* DJ will continue to play background music during photos/canapes until the reception starts


I bring everything required to DJ and MC your reception, including speakers, disco lights, microphone, chair, table and facade.

The only thing I required to be provided is one power point not being shared by any other high power consuming device and suitable shelter to protect my DJ equipment from the elements.


About your DJ/MC...

I began my DJ career at the young age 14 and went full-time at age 20, after graduating top of the class from the United DJs Mixing School in Sydney.

I dove into the wedding MC role at just 21 years of age, and subsequently refined my MC skills through a 5 1/2 year stint as a professional stage actor, during which I performed across 8 countries on 3 continents.

After returning to Australia, I completed my studies in Sound Production to the highest qualification available in the country and built a professional music studio, which I now operate in between weddings.

Currently, I have spent over 25 years working in music and public speaking, bringing a wealth of relevant experience to your special day!

Before moving to Western Australia in 2022, I was averaging 3 weddings a week as DJ or DJ/MC which is a level of demand that only the best ever reach.

More importantly, I can happily state that I have thousands of previous customers who were thrilled that they entrusted me with the music for their special day!

I love making my customer’s wedding the most memorable and enjoyable experience of their lives and that is what keeps me pursuing excellence in the DJ/MC role.
