Hey, I'm Dan

Your ceremony & reception deserve a seasoned pro on the mic.

It's the feeling of waking up the morning of, setting the perfect tone with guests, and playing an integral role on such an important day in so many couples' lives that resonates with my soul. I now feel at home at weddings; co-creating with planners, vendors and venue coordinators, and keeping the run sheet ship-shape.

Press play, get a feel for who I am

The fastest way to know if I'm the right fit for your day is to hear me talk and see me in action

A little background

Calm under pressure. Charismatic on the mic.

Weddings are full of high-emotion, high-pressure moments, and it takes a team of professionals behind the scenes to ensure everything comes off beautifully. Having a seasoned pro on the mic means the order of events, the flow, and your vision land with class, touches of humour, and effortless ease.

I'm a modern-styled celebrant who'll have you giggling, then tearing up before the kiss and a master of ceremonies who keeps the night ship-shape so every speech, every dance and every detail lands the way you imagined it.

After 600+ ceremonies, I've learned the days that feel effortless are the ones with the most thought behind them. I co-create with your planner, your vendors and your venue coordinator long before the music starts so the only thing left for you to do on the day is be present.

— Dan Ford
