Is Gitanes right for you?

Mostly reception. Gitanes runs as a full restaurant buyout for dinner and the party after, built around Chef Mitch Lacombe's French menu and the bar. I've also worked a day there where the couple ran their whole wedding in the room, ceremony included, so it can flex if that's what you want - just confirm it with the restaurant first.

It's a small room. A full buyout seats around 50, so it suits an intimate wedding rather than a big reception. Confirm the exact number with Gitanes when you book, since the room fills differently depending on how the tables are set.

Tight and close. Everything is up front, load-in comes through the front street door, and the tables sit close to wherever the rig goes. I keep the volume built for a dinner party first, not a club, and find the moment late in the night to open it up once tables start clearing.

Yes, there's a patio, weather permitting. It adds breathing room to what is otherwise a small indoor footprint, useful for cocktails or overflow.

Yes. Sean has DJ'd at Gitanes - this is a room he has genuinely played, not a venue he's pitching cold. That means he already knows how the floor reads there and can talk you through it on the planning call.

Yes. Sean covers ceremony, cocktail hour and reception as one continuous service, with the same DJ and MC running the whole night so there are no handoffs between vendors mid-day.

Yes. Sean brings a full DJ sound system and dance-floor lighting as standard, sized to your guest count. He confirms power and load-in details with you and the venue ahead of time so setup is sorted before the day.

Both. Sean is an open-format DJ and the MC for the night - grand entrance, speeches, first dance and announcements are all cued by the same person who is reading the floor, so the timeline and the music stay in sync.

Because Sean has already played Gitanes, the planning call skips the guesswork phase. You share your ceremony start, where dinner and dancing land in the room, and any hard must-plays and do-not-plays - Sean already has a mental map of the space to work from. From there it's a real quote on the call, a contract, and a deposit to hold the date. Most couples are locked in within 48 hours of first contact.

I know the layout well enough to suggest a spot that keeps the dancing central without blocking the bar or restroom flow, and we will confirm it together once your floor plan is sketched.

I ride the levels differently for cocktails, dinner, and open dancing. The room acoustics let me keep dinner conversation easy while still building a full, clean sound for the dance floor later.

Not usually, because I have already worked in that room. But if a walkthrough makes you more comfortable, I am happy to meet you there and talk through the flow in person.
