A little about Mark
Black Tie Events’ Mark Girdwood’s career started with DJing in the inner Melbourne Pubs and Clubs after taking a break from his audio career at Channel 7, where he’d been working on variety TV shows and drama. Mark then branched into commercial radio broadening his skills working both on air and programming music. Since then also, Mark has spent the last 30 years DJ/MCing thousands of succesfull weddings and events.

Testimonial
“Black Tie Events provided us with an amazing Dj service at our wedding. Mark met with me prior to the wedding as I was very specific in what I wanted. Mark went above and beyond to ensure that he understood exactly how our day was to look like. He was completely thorough in making sure he knew everything he needed to know. The music was incredible and kept everyone on the dance floor the entire evening. I knew Mark had it covered the entire night. Music is so important to me so I thank you Mark for providing the ultimate touch to the most important day in my life”.

Testimonial
“We honestly could not have picked a better DJ/MC for our wedding! Mark from Black Tie Events was absolutely fantastic! He was kind, friendly, charismatic, professional and so well organised. If it were not for him our wedding reception would have been a complete mess. When our reception venue didn’t have an event manager and was being so terrible with timing, Mark stepped in and made sure everything went to plan, we can’t thank him enough for the effort he put into making the whole night run smoothly. When everyone was sitting down to dinner he built the perfect atmosphere with happy but relaxing music, then he managed to get everyone on the dance floor and played the best mixture of hits when it was time to party, he read our crowd so well! We had so many compliments from our friends and family as to what a great job Mark did. I highly recommend Mark’s services to any bride and groom to be who are struggling to find the right entertainment for their wedding. He truly was a godsend, thank you Mark! :)”.

Mark was the DJ for my recent birthday party and he was absolutely fantastic. We discussed in advance the "mood" we wanted with some cruisy "lounge music" to begin the night before some speeches and then kick off the dancing straight after that. Mark did a wonderful job, choosing exactly the right song every time to keep the mood exactly where we wanted to be. And then once we gave the signal to "crank it up" he brought out a great mix of hits and favourites that had everyone on the dance floor. Mark has a unique ability, unlike a lot of other dj's, to be able to properly "read the room" and so choose the next track based on the energy of what is going on and so to keep that energy flowing. The party was a great success thanks to Mark and people are still raving about how much fun they had. Don't hesitate to book Mark for your next gig, he's a great guy, great gear, great music - the best!!!!!

Mark DJ'd at our recent annual Physiotherapy Student Society ball and we couldn't reccomend him more highly! Mark was more than happy to take on song requests prior to and on the night, and handed out song request cards so everyone was happy with the music! His lighting setup also really created a great vibe. Thank you Mark for being so easy to work with and responsive, and helping make our night so wonderful! - MUPSS

We chose Mark for his DJ and MC services for our wedding.
He was very prompt in his responses, and made sure to give us a call if we needed to clarify anything.
Mark also guided us with the timeline of our reception and gave us great suggestions from his previous experience. We were impressed by his knowledge and professionalism. We highly recommend him and would use him again for other events.

I’m so glad we hired Mark to do the entertainment as DJ, and to MC at my daughter’s wedding in January 2023. He listened to what we wanted, and was the utmost professional. He assisted us with the running order of the night and was easy to work with. Mark was keen to help with any questions we had and even offer advice based on his experience, which we found very helpful. Most importantly, he knows how to fill up the dance floor, getting everyone up and dancing to great music all night long. Mark knew when to speed things up and slow things down, and how to mix things up when needed. He taps into the guests' vibe and selects music that suits. As MC, he also kept the evening’s events flowing smoothly all night and we didn't have to worry about anything. The whole night ran so well because he had his eye on all the details. We couldn’t have asked for more. Everyone had an awesome time and have great memories to keep. He made it lots of fun. I would highly recommend him for your event needs, without hesitation.

Mark was our DJ and MC for our wedding in October 2022. I would highly recommend him.
Before the wedding Mark helped us with our timeline to make sure everything ran smoothly.
During the night he really listened to what we wanted played but also played requests from guests which got everyone up and dancing. Mark created a perfect atmosphere and and we couldn't have been happier.

Mark was DJ and MC for our wedding reception in July 2022, and we would happily recommend him to anyone. From our first phone call, right through to the day itself, Mark was professional, reassuring, and proactive. He responded to our initial enquiry very quickly, actively followed up with us in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding, and was friendly and professional at every stage. At the event itself, Mark ran the show smoothly and responded well to the people and feeling of the room. We particularly appreciated the classy and mature vibe that he brings to his MCing. Thank you so much Mark!

He was more then happy to take song requests from our wedding guests and knows how to set the tone for everyone to have a great night. If you are looking for an amazing MC and DJ look no further. Thank you once again Mark for going above and beyond to make sure my husband and I as well as all our guests had a great time!
