An Unforgettable Celebration: Jenny & Steve's Magical Wedding at Brampton's Millennium Garden Banquet CentreLove, laughter, and joy filled the air as DJ XTC Entertainment had the immense pleasure of being part of Jenny and Steve's enchanting wedding at the stunning Millennium Garden Banquet Centre in Brampton. From the heartfelt ceremony to the lively reception, every moment was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable memories that will be treasured for a lifetime. Millennium Garden Banquet Centre served as the perfect backdrop for Jenny and Steve's special day. With its elegant ambiance and versatile space, the venue allowed for a seamless flow of the entire celebration, from the romantic ceremony to the delightful cocktail hour, dinner, and reception. The convenience of having everything in one room created a warm and intimate atmosphere that brought their loved ones even closer together.
The grand entrance announcement was a truly memorable moment. Jenny and Steve's friend, Scott, took the stage and cheered them in like hockey stars, creating an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation. The room erupted with applause and cheers as the newlyweds made their grand entrance, setting the tone for an evening filled with celebration and joy. A touch of magic was added to the couple's first dance with the venue's provision of dry sparklers. As Jenny and Steve gracefully swayed to their chosen song, the room was adorned with the enchanting glow of sparklers, creating a truly unforgettable and romantic moment that left everyone in awe. The music was expertly curated by our talented DJ XTC (Neal), who brought his vintage style and exceptional skills to the dance floor. From timeless classics to contemporary hits, Neal's playlist had everyone on their feet, dancing and creating lifelong memories. The dance floor was alive with energy, laughter, and pure happiness throughout the night. The floral arrangements by Euro Flowers were a visual delight. Their expert craftsmanship and artistry added elegance and beauty to the celebration. Each bloom and arrangement perfectly complemented the venue, creating an enchanting atmosphere that reflected Jenny and Steve's unique style and love story. The wedding cake, crafted by the talented team at Just Temptations, was not only a masterpiece to behold but a delight to the taste buds. The couple and their guests were treated to a delectable creation that perfectly symbolized their love and commitment. The attention to detail and exceptional taste of Just Temptations elevated the culinary experience and added a touch of sweetness to the evening. To capture every precious moment, photographer Ashley Lynn and videographer Jordan of Dream Chest were there to immortalize the love and joy that filled the air. Their artistry and passion ensured that Jenny and Steve would be able to relive their special day through stunning photographs and a heartfelt video that captures the essence of their love. Jenny and Steve's wedding was an extraordinary celebration, filled with love, laughter, and magical moments. DJ XTC Entertainment is grateful to have been part of their journey, creating an unforgettable experience for everyone involved. We wish Jenny and Steve a lifetime of happiness, cherished memories, and a love that grows stronger with each passing day.

When planning your wedding, you may be wondering if it’s a good idea to have a bar close to the dance floor. There are pros and cons to this, so it’s important to weigh them carefully before making a final decision. Below are a few reasons why we believe this may or may not be a good idea for your wedding. Have a read before you decide what you do.
This can help keep the party going and prevent guests from getting too thirsty. Additionally, having a bar nearby can encourage guests to stay on the dance floor longer.
Ultimately, whether or not you have a bar close to the dance floor is a decision that depends on your specific wedding and what you feel will be best for your guests. If you’re not sure, it’s always a good idea to consult with a professional wedding planner who can give you more guidance on this matter. And if you’re not sure who to hire for a day filled with sweet music and unique entertainment, DJ XTC Entertainment would love to talk to you! We’re not bragging when we call ourselves Toronto’s best wedding DJs; that is just a simple fact. We’re industry experts who perpetually exceed client expectations and place quality entertainment services and above everything else. DJ XTC Entertainment knows your wedding will be a most beautiful event, and we’re happy for you; but we also know sometimes, the focus of the celebration veers away from you, the couple. We don’t like that, so we always keep you at the heart of what we do. We celebrate you and make sure the entire venue knows it’s the most important day of your life. We do all this through the power and beauty of music. Regardless of your background and what faith you follow, our music is for you. We’ll throw such a fantastic party you’ll wish every day was your wedding day! Contact us today!

Music To Play At Your ReceptionWe can’t emphasize how important it is to have a great music at your wedding. Even if you have the most elaborate wedding day timeline, your guests will still have time to socialize before the ceremony, during cocktails and over dinner. But that also means they can get bored of those down times; don’t let this happen. Instead, please work with your DJ to develop a wedding playlist that will keep them thoroughly entertained! For the pre-ceremony, keep the music light. You can save the main party songs for later. Take a tour of your wedding venue to see what they have and what they don’t have. This is necessary because many wedding venues now have sound systems which means your DJ won't need to bring one. With that being said, the songs below are two that were released within the last five years and the third is a classic. They would be great additions to your wedding reception playlist! *Raise Your Glass (Pink)
This song was inspired by a personal encounter and is excellent for same-sex unions. The song claims that anything is possible. It’s a celebration for people who feel different; left out from the crowd. Pink says love is possible between anyone and everyone. *Billie Jean (Michael Jackson) This may not be a recent song, but what makes a great wedding reception music? A song that everyone knows and can dance to, and Billie Jean is a perfect example of that! It’s a classic that will be played at weddings forever. Almost everyone knows the lyrics, and even if you’re not in the mood, the beat compels you to get on the dance floor! The song is a crowd-pleaser, regardless of whether your guests are old or young. *Shape of You (Ed Sheeran) Here’s another hit that you, and pretty much everyone else at your wedding, will recognize. Shape of You would definitely be in the top five if there was ever a wedding anthem list. It’s a dance-pop tune that was played almost 7 million times in as a little as a day when released. Ed meets a girl at a bar in the song and is instantly drawn to her; sound familiar? *wink* *wink* A professional Toronto wedding DJ and entertainment company like DJ XTC Entertainment will make your reception the highlight of your wedding day! You’ll love every tune we play for you. We’ll throw a party that will have everyone dancing along throughout your wedding day! For a great Toronto wedding DJ that celebrates couples of diverse backgrounds, look no further than DJ XTC Entertainment. Click here to reach us today!
One of our favourite events is the Sangeet. The word Sangeet means music and the night can be considered a “music night”. It is a celebration of the joining of not only the couple but also the joining of their families. It it is usually held a few days before the actual wedding. It could be hosted at the bride’s home or even a large hall. It is a fun time of music, games, performances,singing and dancing.
If you are considering a Sangeet contact us with a call,text or WhatsApp 1.800.826.8014 We would love to be a part of your celebration!!

Top Last Dance Songs
Many people don't realize that the last dance song can be as important any other song played during a reception. Some DJs would even say that it is more important. It is the final note in the symphony of music that is the reception. It is the bow that ties everything up.
I personally like to get all the guests on the dance floor with the wedding couple. Some crowds circle the couple, some find a partner of their own and some just raise a glass and sing along. Here is a list of some of my favourite last dance songs. Let me know what you think. Are there any other songs that would be great send off songs for the newlyweds?

Aren’t All DJs The Same?
Most people who are not familiar with the art of DJing would say “A DJ is A DJ is a DJ”.
Many don’t understand why DJ “A” charges $1 and DJ “B” charges $2 for essentially the same job, playing music.Not only are there different skill levels but there are different experience levels as well. Yes, all DJs play music BUT Some DJs only play music Some DJs play music and can make announcements Some DJs play music and are DJ MC’s comfortable with introductions, announcements and the like. Then there are also those few DJs who are DJ Entertainers. Those DJs hone their craft with practice and education to bring you, what I like to call, the complete package. A DJ Entertainer will not only play music & entertain your guests but also help craft and maintain the day’s timeline. They will be the liaise with the venue and other vendors to make sure that the whole day flows smoothly. So the answer is NO, all DJs are not all the same! When you are looking into entertainment for your big day, find the DJ that is going to best execute the dream that you have for your wedding day.
