MEET JON

The man behind the microphone.

Your wedding host. Your DJ. The person you speak to from the very first hello.

Jon Kane, wedding host and DJ

I'm Jon. Wedding host. DJ. The person you'll speak to from the very first hello.

I'm based in Lancashire and work across the North West and beyond, helping couples create wedding days that feel relaxed and personal, and get them one hell of a day.

You'll plan with me, speak with me and see me on the day. Not an agency. Not someone you've never met turning up with a playlist.

Just me, a microphone when it's needed, great music, and a genuine investment in making the day feel like yours.

2004 – 2016

So, how did I end up here?

It all started back in 2004, with my first DJ residency at Jumpin Jaks in Wigan.

Over the next 12 years, I spent my weekends behind the decks on King Street and in venues across the UK, working with brands including Revolution, Liquid & Envy and Popworld.

And let me tell you, you learn a thing or two about reading a crowd working in those places!

From R&B and hip hop to indie anthems, Motown, dance classics and everything in between, I spent years playing to completely different crowds. It's where my love for mixing genres came from, and why I'm just as comfortable playing a bit of everything today.

In 2016, I decided it was time to swap the bars and clubs for weddings and private events.

Turns out, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

THE HOST

From DJ to wedding host.

After falling in love with the wedding industry, I got married to my amazing wife, Mel.

For our big day, I asked my good friend Pat to be our wedding host. And he was absolutely brilliant.

Watching him bring everyone together, keep the day flowing and create such an amazing atmosphere made me realise something.

I wanted to do that for other couples too.

So that's exactly what I set out to do.

These days, hosting is every bit as important to me as DJing. And I approach it in the same way I approach everything else: by being myself.

No fake personality. No awkward, forced entertainment. Just natural hosting, a bit of humour and knowing when to take the microphone and when to put it down.

THE NIGHT

Let the music do the talking.

When it comes to the evening, there's one moment I love more than anything.

That first song after the first dance.

The formalities are finished, the nerves have gone, and suddenly everyone floods onto the dance floor.

That moment when the room just erupts? Absolutely love it. It's why I do what I do.

And while I love being on the microphone during the day, the evening is different. I'm not there to talk over every song or make myself the centre of attention.

I'm there to read the room, mix great music and give everyone a brilliant night.

Less talking. More dancing.

OFF DUTY

When I'm not at a wedding…

You'll probably find me walking with my dog Rio, watching Formula 1 or at the gym.

Although, if I'm being completely honest, there's a reasonable chance I've gone straight past the weights and ended up in the spa.

It's called balance, apparently.

Enough about me. Let's talk about you.

I'd love to hear about your wedding, your plans and what you've got in mind. Let's see if we can make something brilliant happen.
