About Johan the Celebrant and Wedding MC

Johan is an authorised civil marriage celebrant based at Kyle Bay in southern Sydney, and he also hosts wedding receptions, corporate functions and other events as a professional MC. With more than ten years in the industry, his approach is warm and playful rather than formal: he keeps the speeches and announcements on schedule, runs reception games as a self-described game master, and acts as the go-between for venue staff, photographers and the entertainment so the hosts can switch off and enjoy themselves. Couples who want one person across the whole day can book him as both celebrant and MC. Doing so brings his reception MC rate down well below what he charges for MC work alone, which makes the combined package a practical choice for anyone who has already settled on him for the ceremony. He is also happy to turn up in costume to suit a theme, whether that is Elvis, a superhero, a drag queen or a white suit, with the outfit quoted separately. An audio phone guest book can be hired through him as an extra. Johan travels well beyond Sydney and has worked weddings in the Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains, Southern Highlands, Bowral, Wollongong, Kangaroo Valley and Jervis Bay, as well as interstate and overseas. Harbour cruises, regional locations and events that need a bigger sound system carry extra charges, which he prices for each booking. Enquiries made through his website are answered with a personalised online client portal containing his packages and a quote.
