Wedding DJ at Château Cartier, one DJ for the whole night.
Looking for a wedding DJ at Château Cartier? Sean Chi is an open-format wedding DJ and MC who has DJ'd weddings and events at this riverside golf-club resort in Aylmer — ceremony, cocktails and reception, covered end to end by one DJ. In Aylmer, Gatineau, Quebec, just across the river from Ottawa.
What Sean brings to a Château Cartier wedding.
Château Cartier is a riverside golf-club resort on the Ottawa River in Aylmer, so a wedding here tends to lean on the grounds and the views as much as the room itself. That is the part that decides whether the DJ choice matters: a golf-resort wedding can spread across more than one space over the course of a day, and a clubhouse room is usually built to be open and pretty rather than tuned for a dance floor. Sean has run floors in exactly this kind of resort setting — he sizes the system to your actual space so it fills the room without turning dinner into a wall of sound, watches how the crowd settles between the bar and the floor, and treats the move from cocktails to the first dance as the moment the whole night turns rather than just another line on a timeline.
- Ceremony, cocktail hour and reception — one DJ for the whole day, no handoffs between the different parts of your wedding.
- Sound built for the space: an open clubhouse room and an outdoor area are two different sound problems, and Sean covers whichever spaces you are using.
- A warm MC for the timeline: grand entrance, speeches, first dance, all cued so the night lands on time.
- A planning call to build your run-of-show, plus your must-play and do-not-play lists.
- Open format — afro house, Latin, Top 40, whatever your crowd actually dances to once the reception is rolling.
How booking works.
It starts with a quick call to check the date is open and hear the shape of your day — how many hours, ceremony plus reception or reception only, whether you want lighting. From there Sean gives you a real quote, not a guess. Pricing runs in ranges depending on hours, whether it is ceremony plus reception, and lighting — the wedding DJ cost guide walks through those ranges before you reach out. Once you are booked, you get a planning call closer to the date to build the run-of-show and your must-play and do-not-play lists, so by the wedding day the night is already mapped.
Aylmer, the Gatineau side, and across the river.
Château Cartier sits in Aylmer, on the Quebec side of the river in Gatineau, just across from Ottawa. It is a regular drive for Sean, and a Château Cartier wedding pairs naturally with the rest of his work on both sides of the river — whether your guests are coming from the Ottawa side or the Gatineau side, it is one DJ for the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception. If you are still weighing venues, his Ottawa wedding DJ page and the other estate pages below cover the wider area.
Couples, on the record.
“Communication was seamless, he understood exactly the vibe we wanted, and he had everyone on the dance floor all night.”
“He arrived early and ran the night flawlessly — ceremony, timing, and his MC intros all perfectly placed.”
Château Cartier wedding DJ FAQ.
Have you DJ'd at Château Cartier?
Yes. Sean has DJ'd weddings and events at Château Cartier in Aylmer, Gatineau. It is a riverside golf-club resort, so he plans the night around how that kind of room and grounds actually run rather than treating it like a blank hall.
Do you bring sound + lighting?
Yes. Sean brings his own sound system and dance-floor lighting, sized to the space you are using. For a resort like Château Cartier that can mean covering an outdoor ceremony or cocktail area as well as the indoor reception, so the gear is set up around your actual layout on the day.
Can you cover ceremony + reception?
Yes. One DJ for the whole night — ceremony, cocktail hour and reception — with no handoffs. Sean also MCs the timeline, cueing the entrance, speeches and first dance so the day moves on schedule from the ceremony through to the last song.
Do you travel to Aylmer, Gatineau, Quebec?
Yes. Aylmer sits on the Quebec side just across the river from Ottawa, and it is a regular drive for Sean. Château Cartier and the wider Gatineau side are part of his normal coverage area.

It depends on hours, whether you want ceremony plus reception, and lighting. Sean gives a real quote on a quick call once he knows the shape of your day — see the wedding DJ cost guide for the ranges before you reach out.
One honest note: every couple uses this resort differently, so rather than guess at the logistics, bring your exact run-of-show to the call — where the ceremony, dinner and dancing land — and Sean tailors the sound and timeline to your version of the day.
