Absolute rock star of a DJ!
In short if you want people to compliment you all night on how good the music is - this man is the one to book. Totally captured our vibe, the music was fantastic and had so much personality. Keeping the dance floor moving all night long, but was so fitting during those quiet moments as well. The Knave also performed MC duties for us and did not disappoint! Professional, great at keeping the night on track and made the night a breeze.
If you're looking for a DJ or MC - look no further.
DJ Knave took care of the music for our entire wedding ceremony through, cocktail drinks, dinner music and a heated dancefloor. He totally captured the vibe we were after and never missed a beat. I literally looked through about 30 different options for music before coming across DJ Knave and instantly felt so comfortable. He's genuinely a top bloke and knows how to entertain.
Alex & Claire / Feb 2021
Logan helped us to create the most perfect Wedding day. He is an absolute professional with outstanding music knowledge to suit any taste. Logan helped us to organise a range of musicians and vocalists to suit the differing moods throughout the day - all musicians and vocalist were exceptional. We highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a top Melbourne Wedding DJ and some WOW factor to their next event.
Liam & Lisa / Feb 2021
Knave DJ’d my wife’s 40th Birthday at Crittenden Wine estate this Summer on the Mornington Peninsula. He was the consummate professional throughout all our dealings. He was well presented and enjoyable to relate to immediately at the party - he set the vibe early - and filled the dance floor for the last half of the night adroitly. Knave along with other aspects of the party - made my Wife’s 40th one to remember.
Max G / Jan 2021
What a fantastic DJ Logan was! He was so organised and very professional. Logan helped to make my celebration amazing. I’ve had lots of good comments about him from friends who were there on the night too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Justine S / Jan 2021
I can’t rate this entertainer highly enough! I had 100 guests at a formal 50th birthday party. Logan was so professional oozing flair, furness and fun from the start to finish.
My biggest request for the night was to make sure he got everyone on the dance floor dancing the night away and having a great night. Logan excelled himself providing that with a wonderful selection of music with people (aged 16-76) not wanting to get off the dance floor. My family and friends ALL said they had the BEST night as they danced the night away.
Logan also created a birthday invitation for the night which was a singing telegram via email or a message on your phone with him as the wonderful Elvis, he was the most amazing tribute artist on the night performing for us many great Elvis songs.
Thank you so much Logan. You certainly have a lot of talent and I was the happiest person in the world on the night.
So to anyone out there reading this review, no need to look any further, you’ve found the man for you!

"We were very lucky to snag The Knave for our 30th wedding anniversary. He took care to understand our musical preferences and melded them with music that suited us and the demographic of our guests. Smooth sounds in the early evening morphed into great dance music as the evening wore on. Perfect ambiance all through the evening. Our guests were charmed. Highly recommended!"
SUE & STEVE / DECEMBER 2019
"The Knave was a ripper of a DJ. With such a wide array of knowledge and selections at his fingertips and the authenticity of working predominantly with vinyl, our wedding reception was the best party we could have imagined thanks to this top Melbourne wedding DJ."
KRISTIE & TIM / NOVEMBER 2019
"We were very lucky to have The Knave act as both Elvis celebrant and DJ for our wedding in Feb 2020. We had an absolute call. He sang Elvis songs and played the part of celebrant perfectly, and then he partied down with us and dj'd all night. Highly recommend!"
Amy B / FEBRUARY 2020
"The Knave played at our wedding a few weeks ago. After a quick meeting with him before the day to discuss the night he arrived with a quality selection of tunes on vinyl that ticked all the boxes and had everyone up and dancing.
Thanks again Logan for helping make the night so much fun ."
SAM & YUKA / October 2019
"We were lucky to have The Knave DJ at our wedding!
He was awesome, and played a full set of groovy tunes which set the mood for a great celebration. the Knave was a pleasure to deal with, we had a few meetings before the big day, he got to know us and what music we liked. He was open to playing songs we liked and added these to his set. He was professional, entertaining and also a great MC. Thanks!!!"
THEA & ERIC / JULY 2019
"My wife and I had the privilege of having The Knave DJ our wedding a few weeks back, and were very impressed by his set on the night. We wanted a mix ranging from Rock and Roll, Northern Soul, Disco, Funk, 80s Pop and some classics, but didn't want it feeling like you didn't know any of the songs that were playing. The Knave hit the nail on the head. A fantastic mix between the hits, but also throwing in the odd unknown number, however it always flowed amazingly. We also gave him the hard task of playing some 50s and 60s Italian classics, and even a touch of Calabrian folk music, which he completely accommodated for. He is easily the best Melbourne Wedding DJ I have seen and I highly recommend The Knave for any function, and will be gladly commissioning his services again in the future".
M & M CUMMAUDO / MARCH 2019
“The Knave was a thorough professional, with a sense of fun at the fore throughout the day. The mood was perfect, as he accommodated our requests prior to the event and proceeded to meet and exceed our expectations with the perfect mix of his inspired selection. The Knave's authenticity shines through and his infectious passion for music was a highlight of our day."
M & D GOODCHILD / MARCH 2018
"We engaged The Knave as DJ for our recent wedding in the Yarra Valley. This turned out to be the best decision we made for our memorable day as he was enthusiastic and the dance floor was always rockin’. He gave us a great Wedding DJ package and delivered killer party DJ set. We didn't want to leave! He was also our MC and he did an awesome job of following our script at times and ad libbing it at others. The evening flowed nicely with a perfect mix of music to eat and chat by and music to dance to. We would recommend The Knave to anyone planning a wedding or other special event."
J & S PETRIE / NOVEMBER 2016
The consummate professional
The Knave wore a few proverbial hats on mine and Andy’s wedding day. Not only was he our DJ and Reception MC but he jumped onboard to fill some gaps in managing certain aspects of the evening. We are so grateful that he was available for one of the only days he had free in October, what a blessing!
This cat holds the three C’s you want in a DJ and MC; cool, calm and collected! Absolute awesome to work with right from planning to execution. Everyone had the most fun grooving to this multi-talented human being’s tunes!
Love this guy!
Jesalle & Andy - October 2022
I'm so very glad that The Knave was in charge of music for my wedding. I have very diverse groups of friends and families of different generations and cultures - he got them all up and dancing and having a great time. He was very professional to work with and knows how to make a great party. I'd highly recommend him without question.
Patrick & Jack - October 2022
The Knave is an amazing Vinyl Wedding DJ. He can read a room and really get the party going. He kept our wedding on track and works on the fly to give you a stress free and wonderful day. His 2 peice duo he organised for us were absolutely incredible. There wasn't a single person who wasn't impressed by these 2! Highly recommend Logan! Thank you again for making our Wedding day so special!
Ben - February 2022
"We were looking for a vinyl DJ in Melbourne who played a mix of Disco, Rock, Funk, House, Latin, R&B, Soul and fun party hits and The Knave has the all in one DJ package covering all the bases. We couldn't get off the dance floor! He is a DJ and MC who is as formal or as fun as you want and provides valuable advice and lighting hire, making our big wedding entertainment a breeze to organise, and he also booked us some wedding musicians who were amazing. We highly recommend The Knave as your wedding DJ - he is awesome!"
Rebecca & Jason January 2022
We hired The Knave to DJ our wedding. He did an amazing job! He completely understood what we wanted and really knew how to read the room. We can’t recommend him highly enough.
