About DJ Sean Chi, the facts.
I'm an Ottawa wedding and event DJ and MC with eight years of experience. I play about 40 events a year, mostly weddings.
I'm DJ Sean Chi, based in Ottawa, Canada, with club and rooftop experience in Medellín. A wedding booking covers the DJ, MC and sound, planned from first call to last song. I quote each wedding on a short call once I know your hours, venue and how much of the day is covered. Lighting is confirmed in the quote.
I've played Le Belvédère, Lord Elgin Hotel, Stonefields, Strathmere and Lago. I have 22 five-star Google reviews across two profiles. Some bookings go to my team, and I confirm your performing DJ with you before you book.
- Planning
- I build your timeline and must-play and do-not-play lists in a planning call.
- Music
- I blend English, Spanish and other music for your guests, with tech house and afro house at the core, and I read the floor for energy changes. I use light filtering and almost no sound effects, and my remixes are subtle and always higher energy than the original. A song past its welcome gets one verse and chorus before I move on; a real sing-along runs in full.
- Requests
- I take live requests and weigh each one against your must-play and do-not-play lists. If one clashes, I politely pass and stay on plan.
- Payment
- A 50% deposit by Interac e-Transfer holds your date and quoted price. It is non-refundable, because holding the date means I turn away other bookings for it. Your written agreement sets the balance date and cancellation terms, and the e-Transfer details come with my written quote.
How quotes work
I quote every wedding on a short call, once I know your hours, venue and how much of the day you want covered. A dance-floor set (dinner and dancing) and a full day from ceremony to last dance are quoted differently.
The 50% deposit holds the date. Working with a tighter budget is still worth a talk. What a wedding DJ costs in Ottawa ▸
- Uplighting
- Quoted on top, once I know your venue and guest count.
- Booths
- Print, digital and 360 video booths, plus roaming photographer, backdrops and guestbooks, arranged for your event.

Quick answers
What gear and insurance does Sean bring to a wedding?
I'm set up and sound-checked before the first guest walks in. A backup setup of laptops, mixers, speakers, mics and cables travels to every wedding, and in eight years I haven't needed the full backup.
I carry year-round liability coverage. SOCAN and Re:Sound licensing belongs to the venue or event. If your venue has a sound limiter or hard curfew, I plan around it from our first call.
How do I reach Sean, and how fast does he reply?
Text or call +1 604 968 7078 and I reply within 24 hours. My 604 number moved to Ottawa with me. You can also email [email protected] or use the site form.
Talking needs no deposit and doesn't hold your date; a written quote and a 50% deposit by e-Transfer do. Summer Saturdays fill fast, so send your date and venue and I'll confirm availability and coverage.
What's Sean's background as a DJ?
I've played The Show, Liquor Store and Junxion in Ottawa; Provenza Rooftop and La Rock in Medellín, Colombia. I cover Ottawa and Outaouais May through October, play in Medellín from fall to May, and take destination weddings within about two hours of Ottawa. I'm in the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition's Live from the Booth lineup, July 2026.
