Let's get this love party started!
Hey there – I’m Aleks, a Melbourne based wedding celebrant, DJ and MC.
I’ve played tunes and performed MC services at weddings for over six years. In 2023, I added celebranting (yes, I’m deciding that’s a word) to my repertoire!
I’ve got close to 20 years (yikes) of professional writing experience from my previous life as a corporate marketing and communications manager. I love telling a good story.
My partner and I started our successful wedding DJ business One More Song with the tagline “No More Nutbush”. We also have a fun wedding planning podcast, Project Engaged.
So I’m knee deep in weddings and wouldn’t change it for anything. If you’re a party-loving, non-traditional couple, get in touch!
Check me out on Insta!
REVERSE TESTIMONIAL!
Things I will not do as your marriage celebrant: Make the ceremony feel tense and formal!
Jodie`s 50th turned into a surprise wedding at 9pm. 👀
I love weddings! What can I say... I still get so excited to walk into a wedding and see what the vibe is like, week in, week out.
Thank you to all the togs who capture me smiling.
Big fun yesterday at the @pohevents drag bingo fundraiser for @minus18youth, featuring seriously epic @banginhangins, including this backdrop for our photo booth.
Last weekend for ultra relaxed couple Sarah + Aaron.
"You haven`t gone off and married someone else since we last met, have you?"
Went to Bali for 8 nights. Got Bali belly (note the bandaid from IV drip in photo #1). Still going back though.
Spotted in the wild. 👀
A snippet from Tasha + Jimmy`s story: the first kiss saga.
Earlier this week at the @blackhawknetwork APAC Summit gala dinner.
Here`s my client review of Sarah + Aaron, hitched on 8 June 2024 at the Post Office Hotel.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sarah and Aaron - you absolute chillers. You make wedding planning look super easy.
Your super relaxed attitude towards your day did NOT mean there was a lack of energy. Even though it was a more intimate wedding, the vibes were high.
From kicking off the dance floor with Get On The Beers to 4 hours of dancing til midnight (feat. a couple of 80s power ballads courtesy of Kenny on sax) and plenty of happy snaps from our photo booth, you guys brought it from start to finish.
Bonus points for booking the deadset legend @jacksongrantweddings, who always captures the most colourful of weddings.

My couples are fun-loving and really want their wedding to be a big party. So why should the ceremony feel anything but relaxed and upbeat?
In my ceremony script and delivery, I like to keep things light-hearted and fun, with a bit of sentimental stuff thrown in for good measure. Laughs, happy tears and lots of cheering, please!
And hey, there may be crying babies, missing rings and unexpected glitches throughout the ceremony. Who knows what will happen?
It`s important to have a celebrant who can roll with the punches and go off script if needed and to reassure you - the couple - that it`s all ok and you`re in safe hands. 🥰

PS - the reason I`m doing a series on what I will NOT do at your ceremony is because my couples can often tell me more about what they didn`t like at ceremonies they`ve been to than what they DID like!

What. A. Vibe.
The groom Colin announced the wedding during his short speech (which wasn`t really a speech, but rather an announcement), and like clockwork, the staff at @thehotelbrighton brought out the signing table.
Only a couple of guests knew what would be happening that night. It was an absolute joy seeing everyone`s excited reactions.
They were there for a party - and party they did. Dance, trance and classic anthems til midnight.
More surprise weddings, please! 💜

I do have resting bitch face syndrome and it`s worse when I`m deep in concentration trying to pick the perfect next tune.
Justine from @dreamcave__ will always make me smile. She is an absolute delight. ❤️

Busted this Kylie banger out for the first time - just haven`t had a chance to spin it yet... but hope it`s not the last!
Thank you to the couple for being such CHILLED OUT operators. Love this vibe for a wedding 💞
The prospect of a 4 hour dance floor made me a *wee bit* nervous for an intimate wedding (~50 guests), but there was a solid party crew, so no nerves required!

This is my usual question when I get you to sign the DONLIM (Declaration of No Legal Impediment) - a scary sounding form that basically is just confirming all your deets are still correct and you can validly get married!
This is signed as close to the ceremony as possible - a nice `lil distraction before the main event kicks off!
Adding celebrancy to my DJ/MC services has been one of the best career decisions I`ve ever made. I`m absolutely loving it and thank all my gorgeous couples who`ve let me marry them. Here`s to many more! 👏

Got to catch up and talk bizness things with fellow DJ and marketing consultant @samantharoseevents. 👯♀️
Ate delicious food, drank delicious drinks, read 3 books, let my hair go frizzy and relaxed by the pool with @eddymacdj.
The music at our hotel was amazing too, with DJs on the rooftop bar every night spinning fun disco and house. So good.

A cool perspective snapped by the lovely @kinshipbykristy at one of my faves, Half Acre, for Rosie + Stefan recently.
I have to comment on the food at Half Acre. It is nothing short of amazing, and we always get a full entree and main.
Plus the dance floor and epic lighting make you feel like you`ve just entered a club (well, close to it). So good times are bound to follow!

Me telling your story is a huge part of your ceremony, and I really love doing it. 💗
Jimmy and Tasha`s story took over a decade to develop.
They were just fringe friends of colliding friendship groups.
But they always noticed one another.
Jimmy says he was always very impressed and excited whenever he`d see Tasha at events or parties. She was always so present, confident and absolutely hilarious.
Tasha says Jimmy was loud, had main character energy and was a heap of fun.
One night on a double "date" with friends, they found themselves only in each other`s company and keen to keep the party going.
Cue the first kiss saga. Watch the video with the sound on to find out more!

Always a pleasure working with this team. They`re soooo much fun and just love super high energy dance bangers. I`m here for it! 😎
I find that playing for corporates is not all too dissimilar to playing at weddings. Still a big range in demographics and tastes to cater to. Experience in weddings definitely helps!
(Photo booth booked through us too).

What do my clients think?
"We knew our wedding day would be a hell of a party but our guests definitely didn’t and were blown away by Aleks being a triple threat, conducting a beautiful, warm yet concise ceremony (exactly what we wanted), and a hell of a party to follow. “11/10 dance floor” one of my girlfriends said to me and I couldn’t agree more."
Post Office Hotel - Coburg
"Our ceremony was the perfect mix of sentimental, romantic and hilarious. One of our family friends thought that Aleks was a friend of ours, because everything was so personal and natural... As a DJ, we couldn't have asked for more. The dance floor was full the whole night - with all of our mates, as well as our parents and older family."
Rupert on Rupert - Collingwood
"Her beautiful persona allowed us to feel confident she was going to give us a fun, personalised ceremony whilst also being able to help us with all the official legal parts that you need to get married, and we were not disappointed. If you plan on getting married once, twice or 10 times we cannot recommend Aleks enough."
Post Office Hotel - Coburg
"Aleks, you are a super star and we just loved having you help us celebrate with all our family and friends. Thank you so much. Best night. Best memories. Best fun."
Butler Lane - Richmond
"Aleks is an absolute rock star and had so many amazing ideas and tips for our wedding. She is exceptionally talented, and a really lovely and fun person to be around."
Glasshaus Inside - Richmond
"Aleks, you are amazing!!!! We love you and love that you made our wedding so much fun!"
Noisy Ritual - Brunswick
"WE LOVE YOU!! If you get QUEEN Aleks Mac as your DJ, you are the luckiest humans!!"
Post Office Hotel - Coburg
"As soon as Aleks said she was available for our day, I locked it in and never looked back. One of the BEST decisions we made."
Yering Station - Yarra Valley
"Aleks asked all the right questions, accommodated all our requests and executed a phenomenal night. She also ran audio/music at our ceremony. Thanks for making everything so easy for us!"
Free to Feed - Fitzroy North
"Aleks was our wedding DJ and she was sooo incredible! She was super flexible and professional helping out with our ceremony. She was also a joy to deal with throughout the whole preparation process. We couldn’t have asked for anything better!!"
Collingwood Children's Farm - Abbotsford
"Aleks was amazing!!! Read the room so well, and had a great feel of the place. Great communication and was so accommodating. Would very highly recommend!! P.S. love how she plays no cringey songs!"
Lancemore Lindenderry - Red Hill
"Aleks is the best! We seriously cannot stress enough how much fun we had, dancing the whole night. Aleks was super easy to work with and the whole night just flowed so well. Wish we could do it all again - it was perfect."
Glasshaus Inside - Richmond
"AH-MAZING! Aleks is not just a super cool DJ but also an amazing human. She has been absolutely amazing to deal with throughout the whole process. I felt like we did not just have a DJ at our event, but also a friend."
Rupert on Rupert - Collingwood
