From the moment your guests arrive, the atmosphere matters.

I handle your music for guest arrival, the processional, signing, and recessional — and I make sure the timing is seamless and emotionally right. Whether your ceremony is indoors, outdoors, or somewhere in between, I work with your celebrant to manage levels, cues, and any live or recorded elements with professionalism and care.

No awkward silences.  No sudden stops in the song.  Just a ceremony that flows effortlessly.

The energy of your reception revolves around details most people never see.

As your MC, I’m not reading a script. I’m managing the pace, guiding the room, helping guests feel connected, and supporting every other vendor so nothing gets missed.

As your DJ, I read the room in real time — not just pressing play on a preplanned list, but instead adjusting to the energy, the guests, and the moment.

It’s not about telling a musical story, or trying to prove to anyone who has the most eclectic or alternative music taste. It’s about knowing what to play, when, and why it matters.

That might mean letting a moment breathe… or dropping the perfect surprise track at the exact right time.

You’ll never hear me shout over the mic or kill a dance floor with a bad transition.

You will hear music that lifts the night and brings everyone in, without playing anything that will offend.

This isn’t a package deal with confusing upgrades. I bring what’s needed to do the job right for you.

This includes:

• Professional audio systems for both the ceremony and reception
• Wireless microphones (including for your celebrant and speeches)
• Pre-wedding meetings to understand your flow, style, and guests
• Timeline and vendor coordination to keep everything on track
• Live mixing and real-time energy reading (not just “press play“)
• A calm, prepared, confident MC presence that your guests trust

No wedding runs exactly to plan — but the best ones feel like they do.

That’s not luck. That’s someone keeping everything connected, on time, and emotionally in tune with what’s actually going on in and around the room.

That someone is often me.

Many DJs wait to be told what’s next and simply don’t care if the timing is all screwed up, guests are lost, or the first dance is after 10pm.  Don’t care, or simply don’t know that they could have been more useful.

Not me.  I’m usually the one quietly guiding the couple, the master of ceremonies, the photographer, and the venue through the next 4–5 hours.  I help shape the pacing, adapt if speeches run long, and ensure we don’t miss the special moments that matter — or rush through them just to “keep to time.”

This isn’t about grabbing a microphone and making cheesy jokes. It’s about reading the room, coordinating behind the scenes, and only speaking when it adds clarity or warmth to the moment.

If you don’t have a dedicated MC, I’m often asked to look after this role as well. If you do have someone stepping in as MC — a friend, sibling, or celebrant — I can support them to shine, guiding them gently when needed so the pressure doesn’t fall entirely on them.  I’m always very careful to not take anything away from them or get in their way. I do the ground work so that they can also relax and be a guest themselves in between formalities.

I don’t bring ego to the mic. I bring presence, timing, and a calm professionalism that helps your reception feel smooth, warm, and connected — without ever stealing focus from what matters most:

Your guests.  Your day.  You.

People remember music long after the flowers fade and the cake’s been eaten.

It sets the tone. It stirs emotion. It’s the difference between a polite sway and a packed dancefloor full of fun.

I don’t follow a formula or recycle the same party playlist each weekend. I read the room, I mix in real time, and I draw on decades of experience to shape a night that feels like yours — not anyone else’s.

Sure, you’ll hear a lot of the expected and loved “anthems”.  But you’ll also hear familiar songs you’d forgotten you loved. Tracks you would’ve requested – if only you’d thought of them first.  Surprises you would never have expected to hear at your wedding, yet every single guest on the floor is singing it louder than I can play it.

A great night isn’t built on random requests or shuffled hits. It’s built on connection. I read the room, shape the energy, and move through genres and generations without dropping the thread. Most won’t notice what I’m doing. They’ll just feel like everything made sense.

That means a bit of everything — but never too much of anything. From the latest Top 40 to a 60s one-hit wonder, I’ll make it seamless.  Grandma won’t leave when her old fave ends… because by the time the latest fun Top40 hit kicks in, she’s still dancing and didn’t even notice the change.

There’s nothing generic here. Just the right music, played at the right time, for the right crowd.

And that’s the part nobody else does the same way.

There’s a rhythm to a great night that goes beyond the music.

It’s a flow that makes everything feel effortless, even when it’s carefully planned behind the scenes.

That’s what I bring as your MC:

Not just announcements, but presence.
Not just timing, but awareness.
Not just a voice, but calm, confident guidance that lets the night unfold at the pace it should.

The best MCs don’t steal focus — they create space for moments that matter.

When it works, no one notices. When it doesn’t… everyone does.

Anyone can use a microphone.

But not everyone should.

Too many weddings are hijacked by someone who thinks being an MC means being loud, funny, or “in charge.”

The result? Awkward energy. Rushed moments. Cringe or inside jokes. And a celebration that feels more like a school assembly run by the class clown.

A real MC isn’t there to be the star.

They’re there to guide the night — calmly, confidently, invisibly when it matters most.

This isn’t open mic night. It’s your wedding.

The Role No One Thinks About — Until It Goes Wrong

When people talk about the best wedding they went to, they rarely mention the MC.  They might mention some of the things they did if it stood out memorably.  But they won’t talk about all the things a great MC did in the background, the groundwork done before the microphone was turned on, before the father of the bride got up to speak, before the couple were introduced with amazing and spontaneous applause…

They don’t mention these things because nobody sees it happen, nobody knows what happens behind the scenes that brings it all together seamlessly.

The truth is, most couples don’t realise how important the MC is — because they’ve never had to think about it.
Until someone misses a cue.
Until a speech starts too soon.
Until the energy drops and no one knows what’s happening next.

A great MC on eliminating all of those things.  

You might not notice what I’m doing.  And that’s the difference.

Planning isn’t just paperwork.
It’s the key that lets you relax on the day — because we’ve already done the thinking together.

Some DJs send a form, maybe call you the week of the wedding.

I don’t.

I start earlier. We talk. I ask the questions most people miss — the ones that shape the flow, the feeling, and the comfort of your day.

This isn’t about filling out a checklist or sticking to a template. It’s about building a plan that feels like you — and preparing in a way that keeps you calm, confident, and never wondering what happens next.

No recycled timelines. No assumptions. No surprises.

I’ve done this for a long time.  Always trying to improve.  Always looking for ways to be more than “just a DJ”, not because it looks good in a brochure, but because it’s the right thing to do.

• Hire me, and you get me. Not a contractor. Not a trainee. Just the real person you spoke to, met with, and trusted from day one.
• I’ve spent over 30 years doing this — not coasting, but constantly refining. I still learn, adjust, improve. Because you deserve someone who gives a damn.
• I don’t offer “packages” or upsells. If it matters to your day, I include it. If it doesn’t, I’ll tell you straight.
• I don’t recycle playlists or fake “personalisation.” What I bring to your wedding is real — not just rebranded noise wrapped in buzzwords.
• And yes — I get offended when DJs who don’t put in the work pretend they offer something unique.  I can’t even list all the things that I do in the background on the day and in the lead up to your wedding. But I love what I do and do anything I can for my couples.

If you’re just after “someone with some speakers who can play music,” we’re probably not a match.
And that’s okay. Truly.  There are many DJs in Auckland who do an amazing job of that, and I’d be happy to help you find one.

But I’m not a button-pusher. I’m not “just a DJ.” And I don’t believe weddings should be treated like background noise with cake.

I’ve done this long enough to match your style, whether you’re sending a 10-page timeline or choosing your first dance on the day.
I’m here to make your night feel effortless, even if it takes months of careful prep behind the scenes.

But if your plan is to book three vendors based on price and hope they “just do a basic job” — you’re not looking for me.
You’re looking for someone who won’t notice when the flow falls apart.
I will.

And if I’m doing this for you, I’m doing it properly.  The absolute best I possibly can for you based on what you’ve taught me is the most important thing about your day.  You set the tone.

I just make sure the tone works.

Because “just okay” could have been so much more. And your guests will feel the difference, even if they can’t explain it.

When you hire me, you’re not just booking someone to play songs.
You’re investing in presence, judgement, timing, and trust.

I don’t just show up and follow a list — I read the room, adapt to the energy, and quietly guide the night so it flows like it was always meant to. That’s the real work. And most people won’t even realise it’s happening… which means I’ve done it right.

You won’t get a “package.” You’ll get a plan.
Not a performer — a partner.
Someone who’s prepared, present, and all in — whether you’re laid-back or meticulous, hands-on or hands-off.

I don’t bring ego. I bring experience.
And I make sure the night feels like you — not like every other wedding I’ve done.
