DJ:Plus! Elegant Weddings & Corporate Events – Sydney, Australia | Sydney Wedding DJ Blog: Wedding Reception | 11 November 2011 | Alonya and Richard Cullinan | Australian Museum, Dinosaur Room, Sydney.

I was thrilled to be hired to entertain as DJ and MC for Richard  Alonya at the Australian Museum and thrilled to have the incredible assistance of DJ:Plus (Serge), who provided virtually all of the equipment, technical assistance and (at my request), critique of my performance. I’ll write more about the trip to Australia when I’ve got a moment, but in the meantime, please click on through to Serge’s wonderful blog post and take a look at the pictures.

Apr 11
2009

In addition to the two wedding shows in Dunedin and Auckland where I am acting as the Master of Ceremonies for the bridal fashion parades, I’ll be entertaining at lovely weddings in Taupo and Queenstown. I do love seeing other parts of the country and entertaining at new venues.

Fantastic weddings in Queenstown, Auckland and also a newspaper article.

Well it’s true to say that the wedding season is underway once more and what a spectacular start! Chris & Che’s stunning wedding at Stoneridge in Queenstown was lavish, spectacular and great fun, with music from both myself and iconic New Zealand band The Feelers. Jon & Denise’s wedding was just as memorable, out at the impressive Castaways in Waiuku on a very energising, blustery day. Following on from that was a fantastic article in the Dominion Post about planning company and corporate events.

I want to be the person who takes the entire burden off their shoulders, who makes things go smoothly, who helps them avoid mistakes and create memories that Read the rest of this entry »

Winter weddings and planning for Spring & Summer

Aug 11
2008

The 2008 Wedding Dreams Bridal Expo was a huge hit and was thoroughly enjoyed by attendees and exhibitors alike. The next Wedding Dreams Wellington wedding show is on Sunday 29th March 2009, again at the TSB Bank Arena. Expect an even bigger, brighter and better wedding expo this time! Winter is a traditionally quiet time for weddings and it’s a time to regroup and plan. This next season will see Richard entertaining in Auckland, Queenstown, Napier, Hastings, Taupo and of course, Wellington and the Wairarapa. It promises to be another fantastic year full of beautiful, memorable weddings.

Back from Las Vegas & Melbourne

2008

Wow. Just wow. I’m freshly energised, refocused and totally excited about the new direction, ideas and skills I’ve learned at the MC workshop and Mobile Beat DJ convention in America. The wedding at Bear Gully Cottages, 4 hours east of Melbourne straight after the convention was wonderful also and I look forward to the next few weddings here in New Zealand! This was the second wedding I’ve entertained at in Australia, following on from one in the Victoria Hotel in beautiful Port Fairy, about 4 hours west of Melbourne.

I’m proud to be one wedding DJ and wedding MC who insists on continuing to learn and invest in my professional development to the benefit of my clients. Too many mobile DJs don’t invest anything in this area, which is a great shame.
