Nice to meet you, I'm John
Celebrant, DJ and MC. The person who'll be standing with you when you say “I do”.
Weddings are my thing
I've been working weddings and events since 2005, first behind the decks as a DJ, then on the microphone as an MC, and since 2019 as a registered marriage celebrant. More than 1,700 weddings and events later, I've seen just about every kind of celebration there is.
And here's what I've learned: the moment that actually matters is the one where two people promise themselves to each other. Not the chair covers. Not the centrepieces. That moment.
Why I started Weekday Weds
I kept meeting couples who just wanted to be married. Some had a visa deadline. Some had a baby on the way. Some were saving for a house, or planning a big party down the track, or simply didn't want a fuss. They didn't need a full production. They needed someone kind, experienced and organised to make it legal and make it feel special.
So I built a simpler way to do it. Weekdays, short ceremonies, cosy local venues, and one honest price. The same care I bring to every wedding, just shaped around what you actually need.
What you can expect from me
I'm relaxed, I'm a little bit cheeky, and I'm very organised about the legal stuff so you don't have to be. I'll keep you calm, I'll get the paperwork right, and I'll make sure your few minutes at the front feel like yours.
When I'm not marrying people, you'll find me DJing and MCing weddings and events across Melbourne, the Yarra Valley, the Mornington Peninsula and beyond. I'm based in Plenty, right here in Melbourne's north-east, and I've been featured in DJ Life Magazine.
Normal? Let's not.
Simple doesn't have to mean boring.
You're in safe hands
