Wedding DJ and Officiant - Same Person, Seamless Day
Hiring a wedding DJ and officiant who are the same person means seamless coordination, fewer vendors to manage, and one professional who understands your entire wedding day. At Love Notes Events, Steve Meyering is both a professional DJ with 15+ years of experience and 800+ weddings, and a licensed minister who creates personalized ceremonies. From custom vows to the last song of the night, Steve handles it all so you can focus on enjoying your celebration instead of coordinating between vendors.
Why Choose One Professional for Both Roles?
Most couples hire a separate officiant and DJ, which means coordinating between two vendors, managing two schedules, and hoping they work well together. When Steve handles both roles, the transition from ceremony to reception is flawless.
Steve already knows your music preferences, your timeline, and your vision for the day. As your officiant, he crafts a personalized ceremony that reflects your love story. As your DJ, he creates the perfect soundtrack for your celebration. The result is a cohesive, stress-free experience from 'I do' to the last dance.
Personalized Ceremony + Professional Reception
As a licensed minister, Steve works with each couple to create a ceremony that truly reflects their relationship. Whether you want traditional vows, a completely custom ceremony, or something in between, Steve ensures your ceremony is just as memorable as your reception.
After the ceremony, Steve seamlessly transitions into his DJ role with no awkward gaps, no miscommunication about timing, and no extra vendor to coordinate. Your guests experience a celebration that flows naturally from start to finish.
How It Works
Booking Steve as both your DJ and officiant is simple. Choose any DJ package (starting at $1,595) and add the Ceremony Officiant service for just $595. During your consultation, you'll discuss both your ceremony vision and reception entertainment preferences.
Steve handles all the logistics, from filing your marriage license paperwork to creating your reception playlist. One point of contact, one invoice, one professional who has your entire wedding day covered.
