Karie's Birthday Party in O'Connor, Mar 2026

We were so incredibly lucky to have Wayne play at our recent family milestone celebration. With every interaction he was warm, professional, and genuinely kind. On the party night, he was excellent! He sounds amazing and his music created the perfect atmosphere through the whole night. So many of our guests commented on how great he was — he truly was a highlight of the party! We particularly appreciated that he generously made time to meet with me and my niece prior to the event so we could practise a surprise song to perform with him at the party. He helped to create a special memory for everyone and we truly couldn't have done it without him! Wayne is very talented, but also thoughtful, professional, and a genuine pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend him for any event.

Tony's Wedding in Ulladulla, Mar 2026

Wayne was absolutely perfect for our wedding after party. He picked the vibe and matched the selection of music perfectly. Wayne is a great signer but just as importantly is a great entertainer. He really made the day a cracking event for all. Thank you Wayne. Highly recommended.
