OVERVIEW

Meet Mark: Your Melbourne DJ & Master of Ceremonies
With a history of thousands successful Melbourne weddings, Mark knows that a truly unforgettable night relies on two equally important roles: a dedicated Master of Ceremonies to run the evening seamlessly, and an expert DJ to bring the room to life.
From the walk down the aisle to the final farewell, Mark handles the timeline, the equipment, and the energy, so you can simply focus on celebrating.

Feeling, Flow, and a Full Dancefloor 
Mark doesn’t just play a pre-set playlist or think in rigid "brands" of music; he speaks in feeling and flow. He understands that your wedding has two distinct musical sides: the meaningful, "love to listen" moments (like your aisle song), and the high-energy party. You choose your crucial milestone songs, and let Mark do the rest. The true test of a great DJ is feeling the room, pulling the right levers, and knowing exactly what track fits the moment to keep the energy exactly where it needs to be.
His job is to get you dancing, and to keep you dancing. Whether he’s kicking off the night with a foolproof classic like Whitney Houston’s "I Wanna Dance With Somebody," or reading the crowd to mix in R&B, modern house, soul, or classic rock - he's proud to say he's never lost a dancefloor to the seats. (And on the rare chance the crowd needs a quick reset, he knows exactly when to drop the right track to bring everyone rushing right back!).

What You’ll Love About Black Tie Events MC/DJ:

  • A Host Who Listens: Whether you want a high-energy party or a refined, elegant evening, the room is run exactly how you want it.
  • Songs for Every Guest: From soul and classic rock to pop and modern house, the night is built on the spot to keep your friends and family dancing together.
  • A Lively Atmosphere Full of Heart: With a focus on being professional, helpful, and highly engaged, Mark ensures your whole day feels smooth, organized, and incredibly fun.

Mark was great, he was very lovely to meet. He was very organised and he helped me out a lot when it came to organizing the wedding especially with his recommendations. Overall he was very professional and came in a great Black Tux. He played great tunes and he was lovely! It's never an easy being a DJ and MC but he did really well! Thank you Mark!

Mark was fantastic as DJ / MC at our wedding. One of our biggest priorities was getting our 100 guests onto the dancefloor and having fun, and Mark did not disappoint! We had people dancing all night and multiple guests praising his excellent song choices for the crowd. He was also excellent as MC - he checked with us before every major milestone and managed the flow of the night extremely well. Cannot recommend Mark enough!!

We hired Mark from Black Tie Events to be our MC and DJ and we could not be happier. We had a mixed culture (Polish/Afghan) wedding and it was important for us that our day reflected the love and traditions from our two families. Mark was always professional, prompt with communication, respectful and inclusive of our wishes and cultures, and made this journey seamless and stress free. Mark was made to MC and his smooth and professional tone just shined on the night. On top of this, Mark's professionalism extended to coordinating with the venue and all other vendors, even smoothing out the hiccups along the way. The tailored approach to Mark's DJ work meant that we had carefully selected Afghan, Polish and English music to showcase the beauty of both our cultures, and our guests loved it. Both families and all our friends barely left the dancefloor. The love and spirit on the night was everything we hoped for and more! Thank you, Mark, for your incredible work in bringing our wedding vision to life!!

Mark was absolutely amazing, and really put in a lot of effort in the lead-up to our wedding and wanted to understand all of our music preferences from Rock, to country, to today's top hits, as well as provide dance request cards for guests also. He was very friendly, professional, and easy to deal with in the lead-up to the wedding. All of our guests really enjoyed the music and commented on how much of a great night they had on the dance floor. We really appreciated that Mark also MC'd our wedding for us, as well as DJ'd.

How to really experience a wedding band/DJ before booking

Hi there. Can we come and listen to a band or DJ at another wedding or event before we decide to book?

Black Tie Events MC/DJ

That is really difficult at a private invitation only event. Find the years of experience on the dj website, if it's not there, don't bother. Also there should be more info on what other work they have done: Night Clubs, Hotels or even Radio experience. A dj who's been working 20, 30 or even 40 years just knows his stuff. A dj that knows and plays the last 5 years of RnB and Hip Hop isn't necessarily versatile enough to handle the unknown of very broad age groups, that might suddenly want to dance and knows with experience if that chosen song will keep people on the dancefloor or not at a wedding reception. Discuss music with a dj first. Ask them if you can supply a song list and does he take requests on the night. If he doesn't warm to that idea he probably won't be flexable enough to "work the room" satisfying some requests and keeping people on the dancefloor.
