MnM Weddings - Your Wedding Journey With Us

​Before the Day

Whether you met us at a Wedding Expo, found us online, or were referred by someone who loved our work, we’re thrilled you’re here. Our interactive website makes communication simple and efficient, helping us stay connected with you throughout the planning process.

1. Checking Your Date

Your wedding date is the first and most important detail — it allows us to confirm our availability. Once we’ve confirmed we’re free, feel welcome to send through any questions or ideas you have.

We offer a range of packages to suit different needs and budgets. Many couples love our holistic package, which includes everything from celebrancy to ceremony music, cocktail-hour entertainment, reception duo sets, DJ’ing, and MC’ing. But we’re here to help you find the perfect fit for your day.

2. Booking Your Wedding

When you’re ready to lock us in:

• Click BOOK NOW on our website

• Complete the digital form

• Pay the 10% non‑refundable deposit (bank details appear after form submission)

Once your booking is confirmed, we reserve your date and begin preparing everything on our end.

3. After Booking

You’ll receive a confirmation email containing:

• A questionnaire for each partner to complete separately — this helps us personalise your ceremony and create custom vow options

• A fillable form called “The Details”, due one month before the wedding, covering music selections and key information

• A request for your run sheet (event coordinator, photographer, parents’ names, etc.)

4. Celebrant Requirements

Michael will meet with both of you to sign the Notice of Intended Marriage and verify your identity (passport, driver’s licence, birth certificate, etc.). If either of you has been married before, he’ll need to sight the official documentation confirming how the previous marriage ended.

During this meeting, he’ll walk you through how a ceremony typically flows and answer any early questions — no need to have everything finalised yet.

5. Music Planning

“The Details” form is where you’ll list your key songs (aisle, signing, first dance, etc.). We will learn up to two additional songs not already in our repertoire especially for your day.

This form is also due one month before the wedding.

6. Final Payment

Your remaining balance is due one month prior. We’ll stay in touch throughout the lead‑up to ensure everything is organised exactly as you envision.

​

On the Day

​

Before the Ceremony

While you’re getting ready, we arrive at your ceremony location 90 minutes early to set up sound equipment, instruments, and conduct a sound check. If your location has no power, we bring a battery‑powered wireless system.

• Mim begins performing live music 15–20 minutes before the ceremony as guests arrive

• Michael checks in with Partner 1, the support crew, and guests

• When Partner 2 arrives, he ensures everyone is ready and comfortable

 

The Ceremony

When it’s time to begin:

• Mim starts your chosen entrance song(s) on Michael’s cue

• Once everyone is in place, the music fades and Michael leads the ceremony

• This includes legal wording, vows, ring exchange, and any special elements you’d like (readings, candle lighting, pets, symbolic rituals — we’ve seen it all!)

During the signing of documents (5–10 minutes), Mim performs your selected signing song(s).

After the signing:

• Michael shares final words and any logistics you want communicated

• You’re introduced to your guests for the first time as a married couple

• Mim plays your recession song (live or recorded — recorded is often preferred for energy)

You’ll walk back down the aisle, greet guests, and head off for photos while we transition to the next location.

 

Cocktail / Canapé Hour

While you’re taking photos:

• We set up at your cocktail location

• Mim performs acoustic guitar and piano sets

• If the ceremony and cocktail locations differ, we use a second system to ensure seamless transitions

About 20 minutes before the reception, we move equipment into the reception space and prepare for the evening’s performances and DJ’ing.

​

The Reception

Before guests enter, we require:

• Access to power

• A designated setup area for our instruments and DJ desk

Your MC (Michael or someone you choose) welcomes guests and prepares the room for your entrance.

Most couples choose an upbeat recorded song for their entrance, which we fade in and out as each bridal party member enters — with you as the finale.

Throughout the night:

• We perform live duo and solo sets

• The MC introduces speeches and formalities

• We play your chosen songs for cake cutting, first dance, and other special moments

• After the slow dances, we transition into DJ mode — lights on, volume up, dancefloor activated

We also handle announcements such as last drinks, bus arrivals, and closing time (include these in your run sheet if possible).

​

After the Wedding

At the end of the night:

• We play your final song

• If requested, we coordinate a formal farewell

• We pack down equipment as guests depart

In the days following:

• Michael lodges all legal documents with the Department of Births, Deaths & Marriages

• We reach out one last time to thank you, gather feedback, and share a link for a review — your words help future couples find us
