How are you different?

We’re not just DJs and we’re not just celebrants – we’re both! Throw in MC services and you have a three-in-one package (aka the Triple Threat), making wedding planning much less stressful and more enjoyable.

We’ve worked at weddings for years and through this experience, can handle the pressure of the day. Weddings are our favourite type of party, but they’re not for the faint-hearted!

Our focus is on creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere through celebrant and DJ services – two big ticket items (with MC too if you like). As we were DJs before we were celebrants, we have a strong emphasis on the music side and getting everyone – from shy work colleagues to the over 80s – to bust some moves while keeping the tunes classy. 😉

Oh, and we don’t play the Nutbush (… or the Macarena or the chicken dance!).

Get to know more about us.

Who runs One More Song?

Eddy and Aleks Mac (partners in life and business!). As well as running One More Song, we DJ at all of our events (and marry some peeps too). We love getting to know our clients, nailing their music briefs and having a boogie behind the decks! See us in action on Instagram. We also have a podcast!

What can I add onto my One More Song booking?

Great question! Although celebrant and DJ services are the core of our business, we offer some fun and helpful extras, including:

How does your pricing work?

Our “Triple Threat” celebrant, DJ & MC package is $5,170 incl. GST.

If you want us to DJ only, it’s $2,970 with an extra $550 for MCing. Or if you just want us to marry you, it’s $1,650.

Our DJ services are $2,970 incl. GST, which includes one full set up for a standard wedding reception: DJ booth, decks, speakers (if required) and a wireless mic. This also covers all equipment set up and pack down time and labour. And of course, all the work we do in the lead up – eg. expert music guidance, working with you on your run sheet, liaising with your venue and prepping tunes according to your music brief!

A standard wedding reception is 5 hours in length. Additional hours are charged at $220.

If you want us to cover tunes for your ceremony (and we’re not your celebrant), we can quote for additional equipment (if required) and time. Read more about how it works when we’re involved for the full day.

Travel is $1.10 per km for regional weddings (>40kms from the CBD).

PS – are you a corporate brand looking to book our services? Check out more info on our Corporate page.

Besides DJ Eddy or Aleks at my event, what else does your service include?

Good question! In addition to a rock star celebrant and/or DJ bringing the fun vibes, our service includes:

  • High-end speakers, DJ booth, decks and a wireless mic (plus back up equipment, just in case)
  • In-person/video/phone meetings with your celebrant/DJ (either Aleks or Eddy)
  • Help with your music brief and structuring the timeline for your special event
  • Hours of meticulous tune prepping to make sure we nail your music brief
  • All legal paperwork completed and a personalised ceremony written and delivered when we’re your celebrant
  • Working with your venue and other suppliers to make sure everything runs smoothly!

Check out our blog on what really goes into DJing a wedding to see the work that goes in before, during and after a gig to ensure the music aspect of your big day remains stress-free. It’s much more than just playing the music on the day.

How do I let you know what music I like?

Once we’re booked in, we’ll guide you through an online “party brief” to capture your music tastes, such as genres and artists you like, as well as what you DON’T like. You can also include links to playlists you’ve put together to give us more of an idea of the music you love!

On the day itself, we select tracks by reading the crowd and working within your party brief. We mix the tunes live at your reception – this is what you’re paying for!

There’ll be tunes all day and the only time we’re not mixing live is if we are also your celebrant and need to curate a playlist for pre and post ceremony while we do all the important bits and pieces to make sure you’re legally married! Oh, and to wolf down a quick dinner.

We’ve put together sample DJ mixes on our Music page to help you choose some sweet tunes you’d like on your special day. We also have some great song ideas for your day on Spotify.

Also, check out our blog on how to find music inspo for your event for some more inspiration!

Do you take song requests?

We do – but there’s a bit more to it than that!

Using your brief, we’ll carefully select tunes for different parts of the reception. It’s also our job to take and field song requests from guests throughout the night.

If a guest requests something we know you won’t like, we’ll ask them if there’s anything else they’d like to hear. Also, if it’s not the right time to play a song request – but it’s something that could work – we’ll mark it in our software to play later on. 🙂

We're having our wedding on a private property. What do you need?

Here are a few things we’ll need if your wedding is on a private property or at a “BYO” venue:

  • Total cover from the elements (regardless of rain or shine!)
  • Access to single phase power. If you’re running a generator some distance from where the action is, we just need an extension to where the DJ is set up.
  • Private security for the duration of the reception (these types of weddings tend to get a bit loose!)
  • A main point of contact coordinating your wedding/special event on the day.

When should we book you?

The earlier the better! There are only two of us, so our weekends fill up quickly. For weddings, we recommend booking at least 9 months out to secure one of us.

If we’re marrying you too, there’s some legal paperwork that needs to be completed at least one month in advance.

(Depending on where you’re at in the planning process, you may need some other wedding vendor recommendations – check out our Friends page for some kick-ass suppliers we love to work with!).

Do you only play weddings?

Nope! Although weddings are our bread and butter, we also rock dance floors at all sorts of parties. In fact, we often play at our wedding clients’ corporate parties, milestone birthdays and family events!

Do you play travel gigs?

We take travel weddings on a case-by-case basis (depending on the location) and require accommodation for venues that are an hour or more outside of Melbourne. Please note that we also have a minimum booking amount for regional weddings, which we can chat to you about!

How do you work with wedding planners?

Although we’re more than happy to work alongside wedding planners and stylists, we work directly with all of our couples in the lead up to their events. We meet with our couples (either over the phone, on a video call or in person) before they book us to make sure we’re the right vibe for each other!

It’s really important to us that we have a relationship with our clients and to know that everything has been considered from a music and sound perspective (after all, it’s our area of expertise!). We also work really closely with our clients on their run sheets to maximise dancing time (a priority for most of our clients).

If you’re a wedding planner, we’ll ask you to introduce us to the couple at the enquiry stage. Of course, we’ll keep you copied on all communication so you’re in the loop!

You can read more about how we work with clients.

I want in! What’s next?

Fill in your details at our Book a DJ page to automatically receive more info in our party pack.

If one of us is available for your wedding, we’ll confirm with you via email within 48 hours. From there, you can book in a phone/video chat or in-person catch up with either Eddy or Aleks to run through all the juicy details of your wedding (or special event)!

After this, if we’re the right vibe for each other and you want to lock us in, we’ll send you a contract and a 50 percent part payment invoice and once you’ve signed and paid, BOOM, we’re locked in for your day! 🎉
