Can't go wrong with Maximum Music

The venue we booked has an in-house DJ company and we went back and forth on whether we wanted to hire an external DJ. We landed on Maximum Music and have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. Rod is absolutely wonderful - he is clear, concise and timely with his communication. He let us know exactly what to expect and when and walked us through what we needed to do. He always provided a summary of our meetings, so if there were any follow up items we could track them and not forget what the timelines were to move things forward. Rod gave us a series of bios to go through for potential DJs, which gave my husband and I a great sense of transparency. I do also want to mention that Rod is committed and he is reliable - he even took a call on a road trip once (he was not driving) to align with our availability. We ended up going with Keith (DJ Ghost) based on the bios and he did not disappoint and we also had him emcee the wedding. We would recommend him 1000x over. He was prepared for any and every situation that arose the night of our wedding to the point where we had no idea anything had gone awry. He kept folks on the dancefloor and he went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I had what we needed for speeches and announcements (even though this was not expected of him at all). The room next door to ours had really loud music that made its way into our room, but Keith did everything he could to ensure that the disruption to our wedding was kept to a minimum. We had the pleasure of speaking with Keith at the end of the night as he was packing and he is truly a gem. You can tell that both Rod and Keith love what they do and take pride in their work. For the couples out there who like to have back up plans in case something goes wrong - do not fret Rod's always got a back up plan and he is confident in that plan. If I had to go back in time and plan my wedding again, I wouldn't choose any other DJ company.

Review for DJ Nigel

We would like to thank DJ Nigel for not only being our DJ but for also stepping in last minute when our scheduled DJ could not do our wedding due to a family emergency. He was able to meet with us immediately to go through our timeline and was very professional. For the day of the wedding, the audio set up and quality was excellent, and he was able to accommodate a last minute change to the song for our groomsmen entrance. We received so much praise for him as our DJ from our guests! We would highly recommend him as a wedding DJ.

Disappointed

We initially had high hopes for our wedding DJ, as communication was strong, and the attention to detail seemed excellent during the planning process. However, unfortunately, the day of our wedding was a different story.

To start, the DJ showed up late and arrived without a complete timeline of the day or the music we had carefully chosen. The most frustrating part was that during the reception, the DJ completely mixed up my parents' names with my in-laws' names for their entrance. This was not only embarrassing, but it was a huge oversight on what should have been a special moment.

Additionally, the song for the groomsmen’s entrance was the same song chosen for the bridesmaids, despite us specifically requesting different songs for each.

When I tried to address the issues with Rod afterward, I was told that maybe I was "being too emotional" and that he would talk to his team about the situation. That response was disappointing and only added to my frustration.

To say I’m disappointed would be an understatement. Seeing how my friends’ weddings have gone with fantastic DJs only makes me realize even more how much we missed out on. I wish I had a better experience, but unfortunately, this was not the case.

Awesome Job by DJ Ghost and Maximum DJ

We recently got married at the Royal Canadian Yacht Club and had a great experience with Maximum DJ. Preparing for the big day was very easy through their online portal, and they were very flexible allowing us to send them last minute changes even after the portal had closed a few days before the wedding. We were assigned DJ Ghost and he was absolutely amazing. He did pretty much everything, including music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, music and MC'ing for the reception, and dancing. We were really appreciated that he played all our requested songs, but also added his own flair and talent, especially during the dancing as he was mixing, doing mashups, etc. which we loved!! We would recommend DJ Ghost and Maximum DJ again to any couple, without reservation!

Maximum Music DJ

The music at our wedding was something we worried a lot about - we really wanted to get it right and have all guests enjoy it! We have a bit of a younger (mid 20s-30s) crowd so didn’t want cheesy or overplayed wedding music but still wanted some classics that older guests could enjoy mixed in. Rod was amazing to work with and we voiced all of our concerns and he really helped calm our nerves about it beforehand. He matched us up with Anthony, who is close to our age and was a perfect fit. I had so many guests compliment the music and he knew exactly when to play what. He was fantastic and would highly recommend booking with them. He even came to check in with each of us that everything was going well. The least stressful part of wedding planning for sure! Thank you so much guys!

Maximum DJ was great!

We were incredibly happy with our decision to hire Maximum DJ for our wedding! From the beginning, Rod was very responsive, attentive, and easy to communicate with. Rod was also very patient and reasonable, as we had to reschedule our wedding three times because of the pandemic, he was with us every step of the way with his everlasting patience. I hired Maximum DJ back in 2020 (when we were supposed to get married) and they were kind enough to hold my deposit all the way until 2023! The packages offered by Maximum DJ were also appealing to us, since they included things like up-lighting and other equipment. I was also very impressed with the online tool offered by Maximum DJ, which allows you to create and personalize your own wedding playlists for the big day. We had DJ Gary for our wedding day, and he was awesome! DJ Gary helped my Uncle Gary (lol) set up his guitar, amp and microphone for the ceremony so he could play and sing me down the aisle, which was very special to me. Maximum DJ was accommodating and helped us accomplish this special request without a hitch! DJ Gary was also on point, I’ll never forget how perfect the ceremony send off was because DJ Gary started “Come On Eileen” by Save Ferris at the PERFECT timing, so the horns in the song went off in a celebratory fashion at the exact moment we were ready to walk down the aisle. It was amazing! For the rest of the event DJ Gary was on point as well, as he made sure to play my personalized playlists, and also added some extra party music after dinner was finished and took requests as well. Thank you DJ Gary and Maximum Music for making our special day so much fun!

Couldn't possibly be happier!

Our experience with Maximum Music was nothing short of incredible. Rod, our initial contact, was insanely helpful throughout the planning process. He understood our vision, accommodated all our requests, and provided invaluable advice. His professionalism and dedication ensured a seamless and stress-free experience.

Now, onto Anthony, our DJ, who truly took our wedding to the next level. His music selection and timing were spot on, keeping the dance floor packed all night. His energy and ability to read the crowd made the party unforgettable. We received countless compliments on the fantastic music, all thanks to Anthony's skill.

Maximum Music, with Rod and Anthony, exceeded our expectations and made our wedding a night to remember. If you're looking for a DJ service that knows how to deliver the perfect atmosphere for your event, look no further. They are the absolute best!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I came on board with Maximum Music in 2011 through the introduction of a mutual friend and likes to DJ 2 or 3 times a month during wedding season.

I have always called Mississauga home graduating from Clarkson Secondary in the class of 1994.  I enjoy craft beer, playing live music, riding my motorcycle and travelling whenever possible!

My DJ work is well reviewed for my friendly nature, cool competence, people skills and diverse music knowledge.

I am engaged to Ana and we are having a destination wedding in 2017.

DJ / MC

I got into DJ work in 2002 after being commissioned by some friends due to my reputation as a life long music junkie! I was born and raised in Montreal before moving to Toronto to study Journalism at George Brown.

I have a huge DJ resume from a 5 year residency to high end clothing stores, corporate parties and of course a lot of weddings.

My style is more laid back on the mic and I let the music do the talking. I love choosing the right songs for the moment and dropping a seamless mix and am technically a very competent DJ.

When I'm not behind the DJ table you’ll find me working on writing projects, playing drums and listening to music!
