Zak had such great energy from the start! He’s got an amazing voice and is a talented musician. He played acoustic at the pre ceremony and during the cocktail hour. He set the perfect atmosphere for guests! When it came to the first dance he quickly changed the vibe from romance into a party and got everyone up on the dancefloor. As the DJ he kept the energy up and everyone dancing all night. Thanks so much! Hope to see you again! Had heaps of fun, Melbourne couples, book him!
