THE QUESTIONS BEFORE THE PARTY

Questions couples actually ask.

Music, microphones, timing, the odd "what if": here's what people ask me before we get together.

The music

Your taste. Your crowd. No wedding playlist on autopilot.

The wedding is the occasion. The music should sound like you and your people.

Can we request songs and create a do-not-play list?

Absolutely. Send me the songs you love, the ones you cannot stand, and a long playlist if you have one. I will not play every track. It helps me hear where your taste lives, and I will read the room from there.

Is this going to feel like every other wedding playlist?

No. We start with your music, not a stock wedding set. I plan the moments that matter, take requests seriously, and make the calls as the night unfolds.

What kind of music can you actually cover?

Classics, disco, 2000s, Latin, global sounds, drum and bass, country, house, hip-hop and plenty more. We can roam or stay deep in the sound you love.

Can our reception feel like a nightclub instead of a typical wedding?

Yes. We can keep the ceremony and speeches polished, then give the dance floor a proper club-night arc. Tell me what kind of room you want after dark.

Before the day

Before anyone walks in

The good parts feel effortless because we have already talked through the moving parts.

How does planning work before the wedding?

We talk music, must-plays, do-not-plays, timing and the people making announcements. Calls and a venue walkthrough are there when they help. I want the plan to be clear before the day starts.

Can you help with the flow of the evening?

Yes. I keep an eye on the handoffs between ceremony, cocktails, dinner, speeches and dancing, then adjust when real life moves the timeline around.

What happens in the first consultation?

Once your date is confirmed open, we talk about the wedding, your music and what working together would look like. No hard sell. After that, you decide.

Vows to last song

From the vows to the last song

The microphones, the meal and the dance floor all belong to the same day. I treat them that way.

Do you provide ceremony audio and microphones?

Yes. We will sort the processional tracks, speaker placement and microphones for the officiant, vows and announcements. The setup depends on the space and what your ceremony needs.

Do you cover cocktail hour and dinner, not only the dance floor?

Yes. A full wedding can run from the ceremony through cocktails, dinner, speeches and the last dance. The music changes with the room instead of starting from scratch at the reception.

Do you MC as well?

Yes. I can handle introductions and announcements when they are useful, without a radio voice or unnecessary chatter. MCing is part of the service, not an extra fee.

The place

Here in Squamish

I live here. I know the roads, the rooms and how quickly a mountain-day timeline can change.

Where do you DJ weddings?

I'm based in Squamish, and that's where I focus my wedding work. I also book weddings in Whistler and Pemberton. If you live in Vancouver and are getting married in Squamish, we can plan the music and timing while you're at home. Travel and the sound setup depend on the venue and are clear in your quote.

Do you know our venue already?

I know many Squamish spaces. If yours is new to me, I will learn the room and its practical details before the wedding. A walkthrough can help when the layout is tricky.

How is sound handled on the day?

I place and check the speakers and microphones for your room. Vows need to be clear, dinner should allow conversation, and the dance floor can have its own energy later.

Make it yours

The little things that make it yours

Grand entrances, shorter first dances, a sudden conga line. Tell me the idea; we will see how to make it work.

Can we use our own entrance song or shorten a dance?

Of course. Your entrance does not have to use the wedding party's song. I can also make shorter cuts of your first dance or parent dances, with a proper ending instead of an abrupt fade.

Do MCing, song edits, another speaker or extra hours mean extra fees?

No. Those are part of how I look after your celebration. We will agree on what the day needs, and I will not nickel-and-dime you for those pieces.

What about bigger production ideas?

We can talk through extra lighting, a photo booth, silent disco or a custom audio moment. I will only suggest what fits the room and your plans, and make the scope clear in the quote.

NO PERFECT PLAN REQUIRED

Got a date? Start there.

Check if I'm open. Then we can talk music, the room, and what you want the night to feel like. You decide what happens next.
