• A Heartfelt Reflection on Being the Inaugural Inductee into the DJAA Hall of Fame

    In August 2023, I had the distinct honour of being the inaugural inductee into the DJ Alliance Australasia Inc. (DJAA) Hall of Fame. This recognition is awarded to individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Entertainment Industry, and to be chosen as the first recipient is both humbling and deeply meaningful.

    The DJAA is a not-for-profit national association dedicated to promoting professionalism within the DJ & MC industry through information, education, networking, and support. Throughout my career, I have strived to contribute to this very mission, believing that our industry thrives when we lift each other up and share knowledge that enhances our craft.

    My journey in this industry has always been driven by a passion for creating unforgettable moments for couples and their guests. Every event I’ve been a part of has been an opportunity to craft experiences that linger in the hearts of those present. This recognition, though, has never been my goal. My contributions have never been about me – they have always been about the joy of others, the love celebrated at each wedding, and the memories made on every dance floor.

    When I received the news of my induction, I was overwhelmed with gratitude. However, I chose to keep this recognition close to my heart for some time. The decision to not immediately share this news was born from a sense of humility and the belief that the essence of my work lies in the joy it brings to others, not in accolades.

    Now, nearly a year later, I find it fitting to express my heartfelt gratitude as four other esteemed colleagues and friends were inducted into the Hall of Fame in late July this year. Their passion, dedication, and love for what they do have inspired me throughout my career. To stand alongside them in this Hall of Fame is truly an honour, and it feels like the right moment to acknowledge the incredible journey we’ve all shared.

    In my work with DJ:Plus! Entertainment, I have always sought to align with the DJAA’s goals, helping to elevate our industry by promoting excellence in service and professionalism. Whether through mentoring, sharing insights, or supporting fellow DJs and MCs, my aim has been to contribute to a culture of continuous improvement and mutual respect within our community.

    I want to extend my deepest thanks to the DJAA, my fellow industry professionals, and all those who have supported and encouraged me over the years. This recognition serves as a reminder that while our work may often be behind the scenes, its impact is far-reaching. It reinforces my commitment to continue giving my best to this industry, to every couple, and to every celebration.

    In closing, I am deeply grateful for this honour, but even more so for the opportunities I’ve had to make a difference in the lives of others and to contribute to the professionalism and growth of our industry. Here’s to the future of the entertainment industry and to the many more moments we will create together.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • DJ:Plus! Entertainment Recognised Among Top Wedding MCs & Wedding DJs in Australia

    I am thrilled to announce that DJ:Plus! Entertainment has been named a finalist in the prestigious 2024 ABIA National Designer of Dreams Awards, securing spots in both the Master of Ceremonies (MC) and Disc Jockey (DJ) categories. This recognition is particularly special given the challenges of qualifying, especially with the recent introduction of the “volume” component.

    At DJ:Plus! Entertainment, I pride myself on delivering personalised and exceptional service, which is why I limit the number of weddings accepted each year. This allows the focus to be on creating unforgettable experiences for every couple I work with. Despite these limitations, being recognised as a finalist is a testament to the quality and dedication brought to each event.

    I extend my deepest gratitude to all my couples who have trusted me with their special day. Your support and appreciation have been instrumental in my journey, and I am sincerely grateful for the opportunity to be a part of your special day. Thank you for making this achievement possible and for allowing DJ:Plus! Entertainment to be a part of one of, if not the, most cherished moments of your life. ~ Serge
