Kate’s Wedding
October 2022
A HUGE thank you to the amazing Oran Vir and DJ. They were incredible. The amazing vocals of Oran Vir made me so teary walking down the aisle – he absolutely smashed it out of the park better than I could have hoped. The timings were perfect for the entire ceremony. He is one very talented boy and many of our guests commented! Our DJ was fantastic and really listened to requests and did a great job especially with working with the MC for sorting the sound system for speeches.
Vicki’s Wedding
May 2022
Having Oran there really made the day and created a great atmosphere. All of our guests were very impressed, and he did such a good job at the songs we requested. It created such a great atmosphere having Oran play at our wedding. He did a perfect job of the songs we requested, and we absolutely loved having him there. Oran is a genuine, lovely guy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better musician for our day.
Jemma & Joel’s Wedding
Peppers Creek – April 2021
Oran Vir set the scene and the ceremony and canapes were amazing with his beautiful voice playing in the background, we honestly couldn’t have ask for more, Oran was so polite throughout the afternoon/evening and his professionalism is something to be remarked at. Tre Soul, were amazing too! Everyone wanted to know where we found them and let us know how good they were. At one stage they had the whole wedding party and guests up dancing, there wasn’t one person sitting down. They too were the upmost professionals and we certainly couldn’t have asked for a better reception, they were nothing short of amazing. Please pass on our thank you to the guys, you certainly have a wonderful set of entertainers working with you.
Also thank you Janelle, you were amazing from start to finish, nothing was to much trouble and your recommendations really complemented our wedding. Thanks again for everything, Jemma and I really appreciated it.
Suzie’s 40th Birthday Party
March 2021
Thank you to Janelle at EAO Entertainment and Oran Vir for our amazing entertainment for our 40th birthday! My husband and I celebrated our 40th birthday together with a spectacular party in the vineyards at Peppers Creek and were searching for entertainment that would match the theme and elegance of our venue. Oran Vir were absolutely amazing! Your song choices were perfect! We received so many compliments all night from guests and venue staff! Our guests were singing and dancing all night and really enjoyed themselves! Our event was during a large storm event and Janelle and Oran Vir made every effort to ensure the event went on without interruption. They were very professional. I can’t thank you enough. You made our event so special and memorable for us and our guests! Thank you!
Kristen’s Wedding
Tuscany Wine Estate – December 2019
Oran was great! Very polite and happy to work in with our different setup with another performer. Would definitely recommend him for any events requiring a chilled acoustic setup or a party as he definitely knows how to belt out a good tune!
Kelvyn from I Am Here’s Staff Christmas Party
Cricketers Arms – December 2019
Oran was really fantastic. Thank you very much for your recommendation. I would definitely hire him again in future. He was really great at reading the crowd, and was such a lovely person. In actual fact, he approached our General Manager and thanked her at the end of the evening and she really appreciated it. He was well mannered, polite and pleasant to deal with, and a great performer.
