"We had Chris as our celebrant, MC and DJ and he truly perfected every single one of these roles. Chris was an incredible MC - he kept the day running so smoothly, and kept the energy going for the whole night."

The Maths Is Simple
Celebrant, MC & DJ:
one price, one person.
Your day, from the moment Chris arrives to the moment he packs down.
Your photographer hasn't met your DJ. Your DJ hasn't met your celebrant. Nobody's met the venue coordinator until that morning. The celebrant finishes the ceremony 12 minutes late. The DJ doesn't know, so cocktail hour music kicks in mid-exit song. When Chris runs the day, the briefing happens once, over coffee, months before. Nobody's meeting each other for the first time in the car park.
