The best party!

Elliott and his entire team at Hot Wax were a dream to work with for our wedding! Our dance floor was packed and everything went smoothly the entire night. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hot Wax to anyone looking for an awesome wedding DJ!

An Unforgettable Night Thanks to Hot Wax Entertainment & DJ Paul!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Hot Wax DJ and DJ Paul! They absolutely crushed it at our wedding and kept the energy going all night long!

The music was incredible, the vibes were immaculate, and the dance floor was packed! Paul knew exactly how to keep the party going, playing banger after banger. I actually lost my voice for a few days after the wedding from singing (or screaming) along to every song, so I think that says everything you need to know about how good the music was!

Music was such an important part of our wedding, and we could not have asked for a better DJ to bring our vision to life. We had the absolute best night, and so much of that was thanks to Paul!

If you are looking for a DJ who knows how to throw an unforgettable party, look no further than Hot Wax DJ. We would recommend them a thousand times over!

Best Wedding DJ in Vancouver

We had DJ Greg from Hot Wax for our wedding and he was awesome! He was a great MC, and really great at playing random song requests. People were loving it!

They were incredibly professional, and good value considering how expensive wedding vendors can be.

Wonderful experience with Hot Wax Entertainment for Wedding DJ and Photobooth services!!

Elliott was the BEST in terms of customer service and responsiveness amongst all of the wedding vendors I worked with. We had DJ Paul at our wedding, and he followed all of the instructions we gave him for music re: entrances/dances/etc. He played great music and our dancefloor was lit all night! Highly recommend! In fact, I recommended them to a friend and they also had a great experience!

Recommended DJ & Photobooth Service!

We booked Hot Wax for both music and photobooth for our wedding and we have nothing but positive things to say. From the get go, Elliot was very communicative throughout our whole planning process.
DJ Ward did a great job keeping the dance floor going- everytime we looked the dance floor was always vibing throughout the whole night!
Keith was so fun and friendly - he brought good vibes at the photobooth and was super patient/kind with everyone.
Highly recommend Hot Wax!

DJ Mike was amazing!

After talking to various DJ companies for our wedding, choosing Hot Wax was a no brainer. Elliot, the owner did the initial call, and it was clear how much experience Hot Wax has in the industry including a range of venues which made the process so much easier! We were so impressed how one DJ was able to manage the ceremony and reception, although the same location - they were able to navigate both the inside and outside space. It was clear the DJ reviewed all the details carefully including our timeline which made for one less thing for us to worry about. Couldn't recommend enough for a wedding!

A night I will NEVER forget!

I cannot even express how many compliments we received about the music and DJ Paul! He was phenomenal and truly made our music dreams come true. We’ve been to so many weddings where the music fell flat, but ours was the complete opposite; guest after guest told us this was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I wholeheartedly believe DJ Paul was a huge part of that.

He went above and beyond to make everything perfect, checking in with me on every wild and wonderful request (including playing the national anthem; which was a first for many and such an unforgettable moment!). He seamlessly worked in all of my requests and those of our guests, keeping the dance floor packed all night.

From the moment I spoke with Elliott a year and a half ago, I just knew Hot-Wax would make my wedding dreams a reality; and DJ Paul did not disappoint. Thank you for being such an important part of our big day. If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, book them. You won’t regret it!

— A very happy bride and groom

Highly Recommend!

We booked Hot Wax to provide both DJ and photobooth services for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!

DJ Mike was absolutely fantastic. He consistently chose songs that perfectly aligned with both our own music tastes and that of our guests by both using a list of top songs we provided in a pre-event survey, and by reading the reactions of the crowd throughout the night. The energy on the dancefloor never dipped. DJ Mike kept the momentum going from the first dance to the last song. Even after the lights came on, DJ Mike treated our guests to a few extra tracks by request, which was such a fun and memorable way to close out the night!

Our photobooth attendant, Keith, was equally amazing. He brought such a fun and friendly energy to the booth, helping guests use the equipment with patience and enthusiasm. Everyone had a blast taking pictures, and the experience added a wonderful interactive element to the celebration.

We’re so glad we chose Hot Wax — professional, personable, and truly committed to making our day special. Highly recommend!

Best DJ ever bar none

Paul from Hot Wax Entertainment was amazing! I had specific song requests and timings during different parts of the wedding and he nailed it. I had full confidence in his abilities. The guests also said he was the best DJ they've ever seen! Song requests were easy and Paul transitioned each song beautifully. Seriously, they are next level. Don't even think about looking anywhere else. And the value was great! 100% recommended!!
