About me
Five hundred weddings teaches you things no brief can capture — when the room needs to breathe, when it's ready to go, and the exact moment to drop the track that gets everyone on their feet. That's what 20 years of doing this looks like in practice.
When you book me, the agreement is simple. Every planning conversation is with me. Every pre-wedding consultation is with me. And on your wedding night — the person behind the decks is me. Not a booking agency. Not a roster. Just the person you've been working with from the start.
I'm based in Auckland and travel throughout New Zealand for weddings.
"A great first dance doesn't just happen. It's built — from the right track, the right moment, and someone who's done this enough times to know the difference."
— Jono Ridler

What couples say
"Jono was absolutely awesome — everyone was up and dancing the whole night. He was super accommodating, communicative, professional and great value. Would absolutely book again!"
Issy Parkinson
Wedding · Mudbrick Vineyard, Waiheke Island
"Our DJ cancelled last minute and Jono stepped in a week out. He was super reliable, played the best music all night, and was an all-round great guy. We couldn't have asked for better."
Briar Pryor
Wedding · Turanga Creek, Auckland
"Our guest list had a diverse age group and Jono managed to play songs that kept everyone on the dance floor — he even incorporated traditional songs really successfully. An absolute pro."

Why choose me
No agency. No roster. Every enquiry, every planning session, and every moment behind the decks is me. That's not a differentiator I invented — it's how I've always worked, and it's the thing couples tell me matters most.
Five hundred weddings teaches you the rhythm of a reception — when the room is ready to move, when it needs space, and the exact track that gets three generations up at once. That instinct isn't something you can hire.
A custom-built DJ booth, premium QSC sound and professional lighting — designed for couples who care about how everything looks and feels. No trestle tables, no cable clutter, no compromise.
"From first dance to last call — I'll make it unforgettable."
