Top 5 wedding DJs in Montreal who’ll keep your guests dancing

Planning a wedding is exciting, but it can also be overwhelming, even with one of the best event planners in Montreal guiding the way. 

There’s the gown, the catering, the decor… and let’s not forget the DJ. After all, someone’s got to turn that post-ceremony lull into a full-on dance party.

To help you get it right, we hunted down the best wedding DJs in Montreal. We focused on who could mix up the music, read the crowd, and keep everything running smoothly so you don’t have to sweat the small stuff.

Here are our top picks for DJs who know how to get your guests moving and make your wedding night unforgettable!

How much does a wedding DJ cost in Montreal?

A wedding DJ in Montreal can cost between $1,200 and $2,500. The final price depends on the duration of the wedding, the size of the sound system required, and add-ons.

How we chose the best wedding DJs in Montreal

Music Selection and Versatility: We chose DJs who could handle a mix of music styles and age groups. We also looked for those who understood how to read and adapt to the crowd’s energy.
Sound Quality and Equipment: We paid close attention to the clarity and balance of the sound during the event. We checked if they have professional-grade speakers, microphones, or lighting.
Professionalism: We evaluated how organised and reliable the DJS were from the first point of contact to the end of the wedding. They must communicate clearly, arrive early, and dress appropriately.
Customisation: We looked at how flexible the DJs were to tailor the experience to the couple’s preferences.

1. Tru Sound Events & Entertainment

Business hours:

  • Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Tru Sounds Events & Entertainment specialises in wedding experiences. It’s also impressive that it’s not just one DJ who can read the room. The entire team excels at keeping the energy right.

Several people mentioned that the music kept everyone dancing all night. Some said the flow of the evening felt seamless and stress-free.

That’s very important to us. Weddings have different moods throughout the event, from the ceremony to the reception. Managing that shift seamlessly is what separates a decent DJ from a great wedding DJ.

What really impressed us was their all-inclusive wedding package. They bundle their DJ services with lighting, sound equipment, photo and video coverage, and event facilitation. It’s like hiring a full entertainment production team.

From what we’ve heard, their lighting setup and sound quality are top-notch. All of their DJs and MCs can also communicate in both English and French.

For those who are looking for extras, they also offer DJ lessons, audio engineering, and equipment rentals.

We just wish their pricing details were clearly laid out online. It’d be easier for anyone trying to compare numbers quickly. 

The good news is, from what we’ve heard, their rates are very competitive and reasonable when compared to other DJs in Montreal.

Pros

  • Strong crowd-reading skills
  • All-inclusive setup
  • Professional and reliable service
  • Quality lighting and sound equipment
  • Extra services
  • Tailored playlists
  • Focus on flow management

Cons

  • Needs to call for pricing details

The dance floor was full all night and the music selection was perfect! 

“Absolutely incredible experience with Tru Sound! They made our wedding night unforgettable. From start to finish, they were professional, organized, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone had a great time. The DJ knew exactly how to read the crowd, the dance floor was full all night and the music selection was perfect! They also made our ceremony and speeches sound flawless. You can really tell they love what they do and take pride in their work.”

Super easy to work with and very professional

2. DJ Bernardo

Address: 7785 Av. Louis-Hébert

Phone: +1 514-944-0103
Business hours:

  • Monday: Open 24 hours
  • Tuesday: 9 AM – 5 PM
  • Wednesday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

For those picturing a wedding DJ who stands quietly behind a booth pressing play, DJ Bernardo isn’t that guy. He creates sound, atmosphere, and energy. Dance floors are always packed from start to finish whenever he plays.

He always ensures maximum guest participation. And not the awkward, forced kind. We’re talking about elderly relatives dancing. 

He also leans into interactive elements like Latin dance shows and tailored crowd engagement. That’s why we think he’s especially strong in multicultural weddings.

From what we’ve heard, he’s not only fluent in French and English. He can also communicate in Italian and Spanish. 

The planning experience also seems to be part of his appeal. Several couples said he’s always available, attentive, and almost like family during the process.

That said, there’s a practical consideration on pricing transparency. There aren’t any clear online packages or quotes available. 

It’d be difficult to budget quickly, especially when we know he also offers some add-ons like photography and photobooth services

Pros

  • High energy and crowd engagement
  • Interactive entertainment
  • Multilingual skills
  • Personalised planning
  • Adaptable music selection
  • Great at creating the atmosphere
  • Add-ons available

Cons

  • No detailed pricing available online

He is passionate about his work, enthusiastic, energetic, and attentive to his clients

“DJ Bernardo is truly the best. I will cherish beautiful memories of my wedding for the rest of my life thanks to him. He was involved from beginning to end. I never felt like I was bothering him; he responds very quickly. He is passionate about his work, enthusiastic, energetic, and attentive to his clients. The evening was fantastic, and I’m still receiving many compliments. He has a wealth of experience and offers invaluable advice. He delivered exactly what I hoped for and even more!..”

His preparation beforehand was incredibly professional

“A huge thank you to Bernardo for DJing our wedding! Incredible energy from beginning to end, a fantastic atmosphere, and a simply excellent music selection. His preparation beforehand was incredibly professional: everything was well-organized, perfectly reflecting our style, and stress-free on the big day…”

3. Uptown Xpress

Address: 375 Av. Caledonia, Dorval

Phone: +1 514-297-3508
Business hours:

  • Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

Uptown XPress is led by Stefan Jez. He’s great at structure, storytelling, and serious attention to detail. Those qualities make him a great DJ and MC. 

According to clients, there are multiple consultations before the weddings. These are part of a bigger coordination process. Stefan limits the number of weddings he books per year to focus on customising his services for each couple.

One couple shared how early relationship mixtapes were blended into the dinner playlist. Another mentioned sparklers being perfectly timed with a choreographed first dance.

Music-wise, he’s very versatile. He’s got great crowd-reading skills and seamless transitions across decades and genres. 

When it comes to being an MC, Stefan always adds context. Before speeches, he explains who the speaker is and what they mean to the couple. Guests appreciated those because they made the evening feel connected. 

Packages start at around $4,000, so it’s definitely pricier than other competitors. Some clients say it’s worth it, though. 

Each package includes unlimited performance time, full sound and lighting systems, vendor coordination, and more. 

Pros

  • Highly personalised service
  • Multiple consultations
  • Versatile music selection
  • Multicultural and bilingual-friendly
  • Comprehensive packages
  • Can also MC

Cons

  • Premium pricing

Stefan is absolutely the MC and DJ to get!

“It was such a great pleasure to have Stefan as our DJ and MC for our wedding. Stefan made everything easy and his experience really showed during our special day. His performance was flawless and made everyone feel at ease. Stefan is absolutely the MC and DJ to get!”

Still receiving messages raving about how amazing the music and the DJ were

“…Our wedding was a week ago and we’re still receiving messages raving about how amazing the music and DJ was. We were dancing all night, so much so that we had to actually stop the party ourselves. My wife absolutely wanted sparklers for our grand entrance and first dance, and we wanted them timed to our choreographed dance. Stefan made sure that our vision came to life and we couldn’t be more happy with how everything turned out!…”

4. DJ ROUGE

dj-rouge

Address: 6205 Bd des Grandes-Prairies suite 100, Saint-Léonard

Phone: +1 514-966-5566
Business hours:

  • Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours

Website

DJ Rouge (or Mike as he’s known) is a part DJ, part MC, and part behind-the-scenes coordinator.

One thing that stood out was how couples described working with him during tight timelines. 

In at least one case, Mike stepped in with thoughtful suggestions that tell us he understands the flow of a wedding day, not just the music side of it.

He’s patient, kind, and super communicative. It’s not just with the couple but also with the wedding venue and other vendors. Being bilingual also helped in ensuring smooth communication for everyone involved. 

DJ Rouge mixes everything from international tracks to hip hop, house, and classics without awkward pauses. There are a lot of instances where different generations share the same dance floor because of him.

He also goes above and beyond when it comes to production. He offers add-ons like pyrotechnics, dry ice, and even live conga moments.

Just remember that he’s always in demand. We suggest booking him six to twelve months before the event.

Pros

  • Multifunctional
  • Professional and communicative
  • Great crowd reading skills
  • High-energy and fun
  • Enhanced production options
  • Organised under pressure

Cons

  • High demand

Everyone mentioned how they loved the music

“Dj Mike Rouge helped our wedding run so smoothly from the moment we got to the hall, we knew we could count on him. So friendly and professional, working and planning our songs with him was a breeze. Best of all, our crowd was dancing all night, singing along, memories that will last forever! Everyone mentioned how they loved the music. We chose the best DJ! Thank you again Mike. We hope to be at a party with you there again soon! Recommend 100%.”

Bianca Di Lauro, Google review

Our wedding guests did not get off the dance floor all evening! 

“What can I say but holy smokes!!! Mike and his team were phenomenal! Our wedding guests did not get off the dance floor all evening! The vibe was awesome, Mike knew exactly how to keep the party going the whole night! If you need a DJ for your wedding, you’d be doing a disservice to yourself and your guests if you don’t grab DJ Rouge!..”

5. Goldstar Entertainment

goldstar-entertainment

Address: 7882 Rue Fleuricourt, Saint-Léonard

Phone: +1 514-321-1662
Business hours:

  • Monday to Friday: 9 AM – 3:30 PM
  • Saturday to Sunday: Closed

Website

Goldstar Entertainment is a wedding DJ team that can turn a reception into a full-on party. 

Their DJs, like David and Luigi, really know how to read a crowd. They mix the right songs, stick to preferred genres, and avoid any tracks that would kill the vibe.

Their music covers a huge range. They can do jazz, hip-hop, soul/R&B. But ultimately, the music would primarily depend on what the couples would want.

They’re especially strong for multicultural weddings. That’s because their music isn’t just English songs. They can curate playlists supporting French, Arabic, Indian, and more.

Goldstar also brings serious production value. We’ve heard about smoke machines, dry ice, fireworks, and uplighting, amplifying the event’s atmosphere. 

Couples mentioned how these add-ons make their day feel morable and visually impressive.

There are a few things to keep in mind, though. Communication from management isn’t always consistent. There’s at least one report of poor interaction from the owner before the event.

Pros

  • High-energy performances
  • Strong crowd-reading skills
  • Customisable music
  • Multicultural expertise
  • Full event production
  • Flexible planning support
  • Seamless transitions

Cons

  • A report about a poor interaction with the owner

They had our guests dancing all night long

“My husband and I got married May of 2024 and we had gold star as our DJ. From the moment we booked with Pascal, everything was well organized leading to the day of. We had the pleasure of having Sal as our MC and Stevie as our DJ, they had our guests dancing all night long. Thank you again!”

I have nothing but good things to say about Goldstar Entertainment! 

“I have nothing but good things to say about Goldstar Entertainment! My wife and I got married last weekend and the Goldstar team were instrumental in making our dream wedding come true. Not only did David and Luigi have our guests dancing all night long, they made our life so much easier allowing us to just enjoy the night and not stress about the details…”
