Is The Parlour right for you?
I played The Parlour in 2026. Its Wellington West restaurant and private patios suit a food-first wedding from ceremony to last dance.
Dinner indoors, vows on the patio.
At 1319 Wellington St W, Ottawa, The Parlour has about 4,000 square feet with private patios for vows, cocktails and late-night lounging. I confirm ceremony sound with the planner.

Patio weather, restaurant service and the move to dancing

- Room changes
- Decide where speeches and the first dance happen before we plan the move to dancing, and whether the installed lighting works for you.

The Parlour booking basics
Booking The Parlour
I'm DJ Sean Chi, an Ottawa wedding DJ and MC with eight years behind the decks. I quote each wedding on a short call once I know your hours, your venue and whether the ceremony is included. A 50% deposit by e-Transfer holds the date, and the balance is due before the wedding. The full terms are on my standards and booking terms page. Updated October 2026.
