How my all-in-one (“Triple Threat”) celebrant, DJ and MC services work!

If you’re looking for one fun vendor to marry you, play tunes and MC your wedding, hello! Read on to learn how I’m able to deliver all three services in one on your big day!

Celebrant, DJ + MC services on the day

Why have three separate people to deal with as your celebrant, DJ and MC, when you can have just one?

The “Triple Threat” (Celebrant + DJ + MC) package includes me there all day, including:

• Celebrant services – all the legal paperwork, a fully personalised ceremony, professional sound equipment and playlist for pre and post-ceremony included ($1,650 incl. GST)
• DJ package – 5 hours of rocking your reception with one full set up – DJ booth, decks, speakers and a wireless mic ($3,300 incl GST)
• Basic MC service – covering all announcements throughout the night and coordination of the venue and all vendors ($550 incl. GST).

Travel gigs (more than 45 minutes from Brunswick) incur a travel charge and are taken on a case-by-case basis – check your date!

“I’ll always have tunes going, no matter what, so you don’t need to worry about the music at all. Just enjoy!”

How we work together in the lead up

Of course, there are hours of work that go into each and every wedding.

I’ll be with you every step of the way to guide you through the whole process, including:

• Sitting down with you over a drink and planning your ceremony vibe, structure and inclusions
• Helping you with the run sheet for your whole day (pre-ceremony right through to the end of the reception)
• Capturing all of your music preferences and requests and of course, offering my expertise on everything music!
• Getting all the juicy details of you guys as a couple with my online questionnaires so I can write your story
• Sorting out all the required paperwork required to get you legally married
• Final video catch up to run through all the important details for your big day!

How can one person do it all?!

I have more years than I care to count as a wedding DJ and MC so have been part of plenty of weddings through me and my partner’s business One More Song. Many of these weddings included ceremonies so I am well versed in this too!

Here’s how I do things on your day…

When do you set up for the reception?

I’ll organise to bump in my equipment around two hours before the first guests start to arrive. This means I’ll have my DJ decks, speakers and mic set up well before the ceremony, too! For both your ceremony and reception it’s really important to me to have tunes going to set the vibe for each part of your day.

What about PA for the ceremony?

I’ll bring a battery powered speaker and mic for your ceremony playing a curated playlist (of your vibe!) as guests arrive. These can be played through either my iPod or iPad or mini set of DJ decks.

The ceremony set up is nice and quick – it only takes me about 10 minutes to get myself sorted.

We’re married (woohoo!). What do you do during cocktail hour?

Once your ceremony is finished, I’ll have some tunes going for cocktail hour (unless you have other entertainment organised like an acoustic artist) and grab you and your witnesses to get all the paperwork signed so I can register your marriage!

I may then join you for a quick photo and a cheeky congratulatory drinkey before making my way over to my main DJ set up to kick off the reception.

How do you DJ and MC at the same time?

Although I’m rocking it behind the decks for most of the night, I can still MC too!

As I work so closely with all of my couples in the lead up, I’m all over your run sheet. Throughout the night as I’m MCing, I’m also coordinating behind the scenes with the venue and vendors (like your photographer) to make sure everyone is aligned on timings and no moment is missed. I’ll always have tunes going, no matter what, so you can just enjoy your wedding!
