    Fantastic - responsive, flexible, professional

    We got married at the UBC Boathouse and Hot Wax was one of a few endorsed DJs. After working with them, it is no surprise why they are endorsed by so many venues and are hired for so many events. When you hire Hot Wax, you get Elliott (the founder), who despite having been in the business for over 38 years, is still one of the most responsive, flexible, and friendly vendors we worked with. His email response time is lightning quick! This ongoing commitment to quality and customer service is likely one of the reasons why Hot Wax has been so successful. Elliott's professionalism and commitment to ensuring your event is perfect trickles down the organization. Hot Wax is a leader in DJ services for a reason. They are not a company that has taken their foot off the gas after seeing success; they strive for excellence and we are so glad we went with them. On the day of, we had DJ Chuck, who was friendly, responsive, and flexible. We had a few older guests who were sensitive to sound as well as children, who had unique song requests. He worked with us in making everyone happy (and threw in "I like to move it" from Madagascar for my 3.5 year old niece). I can't speak highly enough of Elliott, DJ Chuck, and the Hot Wax Team. I highly recommend them for anyone getting married.

    Thank you Derin for this glowing 5 star review! We are very grateful that you took the time out to acknowledge our work and share your experience. We are also honored that you chose Hot Wax for the entertainment portion of your wedding reception as we know you had several options available. We believe our service starts from the first phone call and ends when the last guest leaves the dance floor. We love our Team!
    Wishing you all the best as Mr. & Mrs.!

    Always a good time when Hot Wax is there!

    Elliott and his team at Hot Wax are the best in the business. We booked them for DJ and photobooth at our wedding this September. We’ve been to a few weddings with them as the dj and it’s always a good time for guests of all ages and this time was no different. Elliott is very easy to communicate with and quick to get back to you. He is very thorough when it comes to answering all of your music related questions. Our DJ Mike and photobooth operator Lianne were both very professional and fun. We highly recommend them for any event you are having!

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Ken for the 5 Star Review! We are very proud of our entire Team and are so happy to hear that your guests had a great time at your wedding. The Photobooth is such a fun element to capture those special moments with family and friends. As this is all we do, Elliott makes it his mission to ensure that all of our clients have as much information necessary to make the right decisions for them, and strives to meet all expectations.
    You and Jess were great to work with! Thank you for choosing Hot Wax Entertainment.
    Wishing you both all the best as Mr & Mrs!

    Not A Single Person Stayed Seated!

    I cannot express how amazing this company is. Their reviews are spot on! The quick responses and great communication by Elliott made booking them a breeze! He answered all of our questions and any time we needed clarification he was on it. On our wedding day Anton was spot on! He knew all the cues, read the dance floor, took requests and was so flexible with the timeline! I am not lying when I say that EVERYONE immediately got on the dance floor! Every song choice was perfect and guests were raving about it! We were even told that this was the first wedding where not a single person stayed seated! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You won't be disappointed!

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Hello Natasha! You are making us blush!
    We are thrilled to hear that we ticked off all of your boxes. As we like to say...our service starts from the first phone call until the last guest (and in your case all guests) have left the dancefloor! We checked in with DJ Anton and he stated that in his 25 years of DJ'ying, your group was his utmost "Favorite!" So thank YOU for being so awesome!
    Wishing you both all the best as Mr. & Mrs.!

    Great experience with DJ Hot Wax!

    We worked with DJ Hot Wax for our wedding last week and the experience was amazing! I was a bit worried about getting people on the dance floor but DJ Mike did a great job reading the room and playing the right songs to get people up and moving. We also decided to add the Photo Booth option in very last minute, and Elliott was super accommodating and the guests loved it!

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Stephanie,
    Thank you for your 5 ⭐️ review and for trusting Hot Wax with your Dj & Photo Booth entertainment.
    It’s vital at each and every party to have a Dj that can read a crowd and play the appropriate music, we are lucky to have Dj Mike as part of our team.
    Great call on the Photo Booth. Not every guest at your wedding is a dancer, so this gives your event another layer of entertainment, and a fun takeaway.
    Wishing you both all the best as Mr & Mrs!

    The Best DJ

    We were so fortunate to have chosen Hot Wax to DJ our wedding, specifically DJ Paul. Even though our wedding was very small, we had a blast on the dance floor thanks to Paul. He was able to read the crowd so well, and for the whole 3 hours of dancing there was never a dull moment. He even took requests from my family to play Arabic music which was a big hit and such a pleasant surprise to everyone, even the non-Arabic speaking guests!
    The whole night was flawless in terms of music for the cocktail hour, dinner music, first dances, and the party! We are so grateful for you Paul and Hot Wax entertainment!

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Laura,
    Thank you so much for your 5 star review!
    Great to hear that everyone that attended had a wonderful time and incorporating some multicultural music made it even more special.
    We are very fortunate to have a great team of Dj’s including Paul, who strives to be the best he can be at every event!
    Wishing you both all the best as Mr & Mrs.

    Amazing DJ Kept the Party Going!!

    Just had an awesome experience at our wedding with DJ Mike! Mixed our requested songs in with a great blend of tracks that kept the dance floor moving. Would highly recommend. Even helped us with a surprise musical entrance half way through the set. Thank you!!

    Amazing wedding DJ service

    Mike and Elliott were fantastic to work with throughout this experience. Our questions were answered within minutes time and time again, and the service on the day was incredible! Mike hit every note throughout the day - playing music at just the right point for our ceremony, to keeping the dance floor packed all night at the reception. We had multiple compliments on the DJ throughout the night.

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Ellen for sharing your experience with us. As this is all we do, we are always available to answer your questions when You need us to. Isn't DJ Mike awesome? All of our experienced DJ's work hard to not just synchronize your carefully selected music to be played at special moments ,but also strive to read the crowd.
    Thank you for choosing Hot Wax Entertainment. Wishing you all the best as Mr. & Mrs.!

    Look no further Hot Wax is the DJ vendor of choice

    You need to not hesitate in booking HotWax as your DJ vendor. Their pricing is competitive. Elliot and his team are so knowledgeable and truly care about your wedding experience. They understand the meaning of service and are pleased to provide it. Thank you are two simple words that don’t seem quite enough, but from both me and my husband they come with the utmost sincerity and gratitude.
    Amongst all my various vendors I hired for my wedding Hot Wax and specifically Elliot stood out for his caring nature, willingness to share experiences and also willingness to guide me through the planning and hiring process, but most of all your response time was so prompt and always reassuring, it made the planning process absolutely seamless. Every question of mine to Elliot was important.

    I have seen the other side of this in some of the other vendors I hired so it makes me truly appreciate Elliot and his team.

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding day what I always dreamed it could be.

    Tracie & John

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for putting your trust in us so together we could create that signature event that showcased yours and John's distinctive taste and style.
