The Grand Hotel in Carleton Place is a historic building on Bridge Street. I DJed a wedding here in October 2024.

Where the dance floor goes

The dance floor goes in the main room with dinner. I set up so the floor sits in front of the booth and the tables face it, and the party stays in one room all night. It's an old building with real small town charm, and it gives you a getaway feel without a long drive from Ottawa.

What I've done here

DJ and MC
A wedding in the main room, ceremony music through the last song.
Photo booth
A photo booth night too, so I know the room from both sides.
Your plans
I confirm music choices, announcement style and speech timing with you. Confirm the ceremony location, weather backup and guest transport, including shuttle timing.

The day, hour by hour
