Sean has DJ'd a wedding here

Strathmere in North Gower is a 200-acre estate south of Ottawa with three venues: the Farmhouse, Garden House and Lodge. I've DJed here.

Best for couples who want an outdoor ceremony and an indoor party

The room

Ceremony outside, dancing inside

  • The pavilion is one option for the ceremony.
  • The walk from your ceremony spot to the reception is part of the plan.
The day in order

One night at Strathmere

Dinner

Dinner is indoors, in the building you booked.

Dance floor

Dancing is indoors, and the night can end with a sparkler dance.

Why couples choose it

Three buildings, one plan

I confirm which one you have before the day and build the sound and timeline around it.

Sound for your booked room

I size the sound for your booked room and headcount, and keep the music going when the party moves inside.

More about Strathmere

Strathmere

One named venue per wedding, plus the grounds

Strathmere books one named venue per wedding, plus surrounding grounds. I cover the pavilion ceremony and the indoor dance floor.

Strathmere is not a single room. I confirm which of the three buildings you have before the day and build the sound and timeline around it, including the walk from your ceremony spot to the reception.

Sound in the Farmhouse, Garden House and Lodge

Farmhouse
I use its plug-and-play sound setup. Confirm the cap of 65 guests.
Garden House
I adjust sound for this bright, airy, window-lined room. Its cap is 160.
Lodge
The restored barn has exposed beams and stone fireplaces. I plan dinner and dancing in the largest room, capped at 180; the property's overall maximum is 200.
The far bar
I place a small satellite speaker near the bar or seating farthest from the floor, so guests there stay connected to the music.

Three venues, one list of questions

Music and announcements
I ask for music preferences, announcement formality and who adjusts speech timing.
Venue arrangements
Confirm the weather backup, installed lighting and guest transport, including shuttle timing.
Reception layout
I place sound around speeches and the first dance; lighting depends on the room mood you want.

Outdoors first, then the Farmhouse, Garden House or Lodge

  1. Ceremony

    I cover the pavilion or lawn with dedicated wireless sound, and I keep the music continuous when the party moves inside.

  2. Cocktail hour

    Guests spread through the gardens.

  3. Dinner

    I size sound for your booked room.

  4. Dancing

    I move coverage indoors, with reception sound and lighting.

The Farmhouse, Garden House, Lodge and the drive

Which of the three venues will my wedding be in?

I set sound for your booked venue: the Farmhouse, 1860s fieldstone with a covered veranda; the bright, window-lined Garden House overlooking woods and orchard; or the Lodge, a restored 160-year-old barn with original beams and stone fireplaces.

How many guests does Strathmere hold?

The Farmhouse seats 65 for dinner, Garden House 160 and Lodge 180. The property's maximum is 200 guests. I size sound and dance-floor lighting for your room and headcount.

Where does the ceremony happen?

Each venue has its own outdoor ceremony spot within 200 acres of countryside gardens, including a certified Monarch butterfly waystation. Confirm your spot; I bring dedicated wireless outdoor sound.

How old is Strathmere?

The estate dates to 1825; the stone Farmhouse was built between 1860 and 1865. It has been a country retreat and wedding venue for over 35 years. I place sound carefully in these historic rooms.

Do you DJ weddings at Strathmere?

Yes. I plan open-format DJ and MC coverage from ceremony to last dance across your booked spaces. Your quote confirms agreed MC duties before booking.

Have you played Strathmere before?

Yes, I've DJ'd Strathmere. I confirm your rooms and outdoor areas to plan sound and timing around your layout.

How much is a wedding DJ at Strathmere?

I quote after a quick call, once I know your hours, the spaces you use and how much of the day I cover. My wedding DJ cost page explains how I quote.

What do you need from us to plan the sound for different parts of the estate?

Walk me through where each part happens and when. I plan each space separately and keep music playing through the moves.
