Used BetterBand for our recent wedding at Castaways resort. We had Jon Pickford as our MC and he was absolutely amazing. He was easy going with plans but kept us to a schedule as needed. He was entertaining and kept our friends and family engaged all evening. Jon was super friendly and nice. We felt comfortable & confident having him at our wedding. Witty, funny and very respectful. Definitely recommend!

We already new Jon through school however, his work as both a celebrant and musician at our wedding far surpassed our expectations. Jon was professional, sincere, witty, fun, supportive, super organized and played a big part in making our day so special. Jon and his brother Jeremy not only played awesome music that got a large number of our guests up and dancing but they also played our first dance song live for us too which was an absolute treat. We couldn’t recommend Jon as a Wedding Celebrant & Entertainer more highly. His incredible talent was a hot topic amongst our wedding guests as they were all so impressed with his work. Thank you for contributing so much to our wedding. You were one of the MVP’s leading up to and on our big day. if you are looking for a Wedding Ceremony Musician or Party Band in Auckland I highly recommend Jon & Jeremy! – Ross & Tori
Jon was a fantastic choice for our wedding and brought the perfect vibe for us. Relaxed and comfortable while still digging deep into the importance and uniqueness of our celebration. He helped us to craft a story for our guests and was invaluable in setting the tone we wanted from the get-go.
He later played for our guests and I cannot count the number of times someone came up to me and praised his skill and demeanor for the afternoon. Cannot recommend this man enough for anyone looking to hire a Wedding Musician in Auckland! – Benjamin & Joanna,
Jon was perfect! He has a lovely voice and sang a perfect song list. He was a pleasure to deal with and very low maintenance and really just nailed it. He even played longer than we booked for. I would highly recommend Jon for this type of event! Thank you for being so great to work with!

Jon has been extremely friendly, professional, and caring through the whole process of our civil union. We wanted something simple and stress-free, and he helped us get exactly what we wanted. When we had questions, he checked with the appropriate organisations and always gave us a prompt reply. He was really easy to talk to too. As a result, we had an amazing day that we will remember for the rest of our lives. We are super glad we had Jon as our celebrant and we would recommend him to anyone who is looking for one! – Anna & Mike
Thank you so much for being the celebrant/DJ on the occasion of our wedding. We appreciated you taking the time to get to know us, and to help us put our plans for a surprise wedding together seamlessly. Our evening was such a special, fun and happy night filled with great memories. The vibe was perfect (everyone loved how the DJ was the celebrant too!!) and the dance floor was the place to be. Would absolutely recommend Jon to anyone seeking a personable, methodical, and fun addition to their magical day. Mike
