Weddings in Highton
Highton sits high above the Barwon River, and many homes and gardens here have views across the valley and towards the Barrabool Hills. For some couples that makes the family home or a friend’s garden the perfect place to say their vows.
Just below the hill, Fyansford has some of the region’s most popular wedding venues, from a converted paper mill on the Barwon to a riverside property on the Moorabool. A Highton wedding can be a garden ceremony in the morning and a full venue reception that night.
As your Highton wedding DJ and MC, James covers both: ceremony sound wherever you say your vows, and a reception that is hosted with care and danced through until the last song.
On the day
A Highton wedding might start in a garden with the valley as the backdrop. We set up a discreet speaker and microphone, play you in and out, then head down the hill to have the reception sound and lighting ready and tested.
At the reception, James hosts the entrances, speeches and formalities, keeps the venue in step with the timeline, and opens the dance floor as soon as your first dance finishes.
What’s included
A personalised night of music that builds from relaxed dinner sets to a full dance floor.
Hosting that keeps your speeches, entrances and timeline running smoothly.
Portable sound for garden and home ceremonies with a view.
Lighting that suits heritage spaces and modern function rooms alike.
Local know-how
A garden ceremony at home still needs a speaker, a microphone and somewhere sheltered to plug in. It is quick to set up but worth planning.
If the ceremony is at home and the reception is at a Fyansford venue, factor in the drive and guest parking.
Time the ceremony so the light over the valley is at its best for photos, then plan the reception timeline from there.
Wedding settings
Highton couples often look just down the hill to Fyansford, home to venues such as Provenance Wines in a heritage paper mill on the Barwon River and Truffleduck at Balmoral beside the Moorabool. Both have their own character and layout, so the entertainment is planned around the room — from where the DJ sets up to how the dance floor works once dinner is cleared.
Heritage and riverside venues each have their own setup rules, so start with our checklist of venue questions, and use our reception timeline guide to plan the move between ceremony and reception.

Highly recommend James for any occasion you need a DJ and MC. He recently did our wedding and was not only lovely to deal with but absolutely hit the mark with the music. He was also very understanding and didn’t bat an eyelid when there was a last minute change to the ceremony music.
