  • Wedding Reception | 14 October 2023 | Sarah & James | Deckhouse, Woolwich, Sydney

    On the 14th of October, 2023, under the picturesque skies of Sydney, at Deckhouse in Woolwich, a celebration unfolded that was nothing short of extraordinary. The love story of Sarah and James, two brilliantly clever and spunky individuals, culminated in a wedding that was a perfect reflection of their unique personalities and the deep connection they share.

    Their journey together began in 2016 during the Touch Football University Games in Coffs Harbour, an unexpected and fortuitous encounter that would set the stage for their enduring love. Fast forward to 2023, and we gathered at Deckhouse in Woolwich to witness the culmination of this beautiful love story.

    Surrounded by their fun-loving family and friends, Sarah and James embarked on a new chapter of their lives, and their wedding day was nothing short of spectacular. It was a day filled with love, laughter, and countless memorable moments that will be cherished for a lifetime.

    Their first date, back in 2017, was a simple yet slightly nerve-wracking time at the movies at the Broadway Cinemas. Those initial jitters gave way to the deep connection and love that would become the foundation of their relationship. As high school teachers deeply involved in sports coaching, their shared passions and commitment to their students reflect their generous and caring natures.

    Sarah, who is more of an in-doors person, and James, the more outdoorsy adventurer, have found the perfect balance in each other. Their differences complement one another, creating a dynamic and loving partnership that is truly inspiring.

    On the 5th of September, 2022, James surprised Sarah with a heart-warming proposal on Father’s Day. This was the beginning of a new and exciting chapter in their lives, filled with dreams of purchasing a house, starting a family, and traveling the world together.

    One of their key wedding aspirations was to ensure that their special day was brimming with dancing, fun, and joy. And that’s exactly what they achieved! The dance floor came to life immediately after the wedding party’s grand entrance and continued to pulse with energy throughout the evening. Their wedding was a testament to their shared love of fun and celebration.

    Sarah and James, with your genuine, thoughtful, confident, and delightfully silly personalities, you are undoubtedly a perfect match. Your love and connection are evident in every glance, every smile, and every moment you share. Your commitment to one another is a testament to the enduring power of love.

    I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Sarah and James for entrusting me and DJ:Plus! Entertainment to be a part of your special day as your Wedding MC & Wedding DJ. It means the world to me to have been a part of this unforgettable celebration.

    As you embark on this incredible journey together, I offer my sincerest congratulations on your marriage. May your love continue to grow and your adventures together be as vibrant as the dance floor on your wedding day. Best wishes for a lifetime filled with love, joy, and countless new memories. ~ Serge

  • Wedding Reception | 14 January 2017 | Deckhouse, Woolwich, Sydney

    Whilst rain had been forecast, it ended up being a very warm, beautiful sunny day for A & D’s wedding. This beautiful couple have asked for privacy, so whilst there will be no photographs of them or their guests, they have graciously permitted me to to share some décor and location shots of their amazing wedding! A & D chose Deckhouse to celebrate their wedding. Located in the Sydney suburb of Woolwich right on the foreshore at Woolwich Dock, Deckhouse has a lovely setting, is tranquil and hidden but with spectacular views up the harbour to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the city skyline.

    The wedding was filled with plenty of smiles and laughs for many reasons, but mainly because A & D are a fantastically cool couple with beautiful friends and family. There were tears, there was laughter, there was dancing, there was fun and there was the odd beverage. What else can I say about their day? It was a great wedding with a great couple.

    A + D thank you for giving me the utmost honour of investing your trust in me as your Wedding MC Sydney & Wedding DJ Sydney. It was such a pleasure to be a part of your day and I enjoyed all our telephone conversations, our meetings and helping you both create your wonderful wedding day. I feel blessed to have witnessed a love that is deep, meaningful and honest; to have witnessed a family that loves you both and will be there if you ever happen to need them. Love is the strongest power…. It has the potential to make impossible possible… My wish for you both is that you are blessed with the power of love for life and always enjoy happiness and togetherness in your life. May, love, laughter and music fill your lives forever!!!
