The day in order
Vows to Ballroom dancing
Entrance
Guests line the way in and applaud. I plan the cue with you.
Dance floor
Hard surfaces and high ceilings carry reverb, so I keep bass near the floor.

Château Laurier FAQs
Which room will my wedding be in?
I plan sound for four rooms: the 1912 Ballroom has an 18-foot ceiling and three crystal chandeliers; the oval "Wedgwood" Adam Room has a sculpted ceiling and raised entrance platform. The Laurier Room is cream and burgundy with Roman columns. The intimate Drawing Room has a private foyer and natural light.
How many guests does the Château hold?
Confirm your seated count with the hotel. I scale sound and dance-floor lighting from intimate Drawing Room dinners to large Ballroom receptions.
What's tricky about the sound in a historic ballroom?
I keep bass near the floor and dinner at lounge level for speeches. Hard surfaces and high ceilings carry reverb; I open the sound up after tables clear.
Have you DJ'd at Fairmont Château Laurier?
Yes. I DJ'd weddings and events here, including the Ballroom in 2026. I plan for a formal downtown hotel crowd.
Do you bring sound and lighting?
Yes. I bring room-scaled DJ sound and confirm placement with the hotel to suit the ballroom. Dance-floor lighting is arranged for your event and confirmed in your quote.
Can you cover ceremony and reception?
Yes. I plan ceremony, cocktails and reception together. Your written quote confirms MC duties and hours; entrance, speech and first-dance cues follow our agreed rooms and timing.
What does a wedding DJ at Fairmont Château Laurier cost?
I quote after a short call, once I know your hours, your venue and how much of the day is covered. The wedding DJ cost guide explains what moves the quote.
How do you keep the energy from dinner into dancing when the crowd is a mix of ages?
I read the mixed-age crowd after speeches: Motown or classic soul for older guests, then music younger guests like as the floor warms.
