Testimonials
We recently engaged The Knave as Mobile DJ for my 60th birthday party. We had a previous meeting and connected immediately. We knew he was the right personality for our party as he is very personable, fun and of course professional. We would strongly recommend him for any party / function as he has a natural ability to get the party started.
Vicki / January 2022
I hired DJ Knave for my birthday party. He took time beforehand to meet me and discuss the type of music I like. He reads the dance floor well and got everybody dancing and having a fun time. Do yourself a favour and hire DJ Knave for your next function.
Justin / November 2021
Logan DJ'd at our engagement party and he was absolutely brilliant!!
I cannot rate Logan high enough. He was not only organised and professional but also provided such a great selection of music. Everyone at the party has commented on how much they enjoyed the music all night.
I highly recommend The Knave for any function!
Kimberly / March 2021
Knave was DJ for 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.

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. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amanda / Jan 2021
We LOVE The Knave and his tunes, always having him play at events when we get the chance, as all audiences groove along guaranteed every time. Knave has featured at many of our larger events, is always professional and conscientious about working with the whole team to make sure its smooth sailing. Listening to one of his mixes as I type...!
Sheree - Director at Trucked Up Entertainment
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's Mobile DJ Service 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!"
