Wedding DJ FAQ, no fluff.

Most Ottawa wedding DJ packages land between $1,450 and $2,800 plus HST, with a floor around $1,250 for simpler receptions. The final number moves with hours, ceremony coverage, venue size and lighting. Sean quotes firmly once he knows the shape of your day.

One contact for the whole night: open-format DJ, warm bilingual-friendly MC, premium sound sized to your venue, dancefloor lighting, and a planning call to lock your timeline and music. Photo booth and uplighting are available as add-ons.

Yes. Photo booth, 360 booth and uplighting are available and coordinated under the same contact. They can be added to your quote once Sean knows your venue and guest count.

Not always. Uplighting adds warmth and shape to a plain room, but many venues already have enough character. Sean will tell you honestly whether it is worth it for your space.

Interac e-Transfer to [email protected] is the standard. Invoices are self-numbered and include HST where applicable.

The deposit locks your date and is non-refundable, because turning away other bookings for that date is the real cost. Final payment is typically due two weeks before the wedding.

Six to twelve months ahead is ideal for Ottawa summer Saturdays. Shorter notice often still works, so check your date either way.

Yes. The booking process starts with a quick call to check your date, hear what you need and hand back a real quote. No deposit required to have that conversation.

Use the date checker on the homepage or text/call 604-968-7078. Sean replies within 24 hours with a straight answer on availability.

A completed music questionnaire, your final timeline, and a quick planning call. The earlier Sean gets these, the better he can prep crates and cue points for your night.

Open format: Top 40, hip-hop, R&B, house, tech house, afro house, Latin, reggaeton, country, throwbacks and anything else your crowd actually responds to. The set is read live, not scripted.

Sean takes requests and weighs them against your must-play and do-not-play lists. If something clashes with the plan, he politely sidesteps it and stays on course.

You can, but Sean recommends leaving room to read the room. The best nights happen when he can shift with the crowd while staying inside your must-play and do-not-play lists.

Yes. Sean MCs in a warm, low-cheese style: grand entrance, speeches, first dance, cake cutting and any other cues on your timeline.

Yes. Sean is comfortable reading mixed crowds and can blend English, Spanish and other genres based on your guest list. Bring the must-hear tracks and he builds them into the night.

Yes. Sean DJs engagement parties, stag and does, anniversaries, birthdays, holiday parties and corporate events across Ottawa.

Yes. Sean covers ceremony sound, cocktail hour music and the full reception as one continuous booking. No handoffs between vendors.

Yes. Sean is based in Ottawa and covers the whole region including Gatineau, Kanata, Barrhaven, Nepean, Orleans, Stittsville, Wakefield, Carleton Place, Almonte, Perth, Smiths Falls, Kemptville, Brockville, Kingston, Cornwall and destination weddings up to about two hours out.

Typically one to two hours depending on the rig and whether ceremony coverage is involved. Sean arrives early so he is sound-checked and calm before the first guest walks in.

Yes. Sean carries backup laptops, mixers, speakers, mics and cables to every wedding. In eight years he has never needed the full backup setup, but it is there.

For confirmed bookings, Sean has a small network of trusted Ottawa DJs he can call on. You are never left without coverage. This is discussed plainly in the contract.

If your venue has a sound limiter or hard curfew, Sean plans for it from the first call. He tunes the system to keep energy on the floor without pushing the room past its limits.
