An Unforgettable Celebration: Jenny & Steve's Magical Wedding at Brampton's Millennium Garden Banquet Centre

Love, 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.

3 Songs That Will Never Fail To Rock The Dance Floor

The essential part of any wedding reception is the dance floor. If you’re not on it, then there’s a chance that you’ll miss out on all of the fun! And what about your guests? Are they dancing or sitting in their chairs fiddling with their phones?
Your job as the host is to get everyone off their chairs and onto their feet. Everyone should enjoy themselves and celebrate your special day with you. Plus, you get to show off your moves! So here’s a list of three songs that will never fail to rock your dance floor!

“Shout!” by Otis Day and the Knights

First up, we have the ever popular “Shout!” by Otis Day and the Knights. It’s an oldie, but a goodie, a timeless hit. It’s perfect for any wedding.
This tune has been used in hundreds of movies and tv shows and is guaranteed to make everyone happy. It’s a fast song, and the moment it starts playing, your guests will sure start hurrying towards the dance floor!

Hey Ya!" by Outkast

Second, we have “Hey Ya!” by Outkast. This song will make you “Shake it like a polaroid picture”. It’s a song, that’s guaranteed to get everyone pumping their fists in the air, shake it and have fun on the dance floor.

“I Gotta Feelin’” by the Black Eyed Peas

Finally, we have “I Gotta Feelin’” by the Black Eyed Peas. This song has been played in so many weddings that we wager all your guests know the lyrics!
Needless to say, as soon as your DJ plays it, expect them to flood the dance floor while singing along with Will.i.am by the end of it!

So, there you have it: three songs that will never fail to get your guests dancing. But you can’t just randomly throw the songs on and expect everything to go smoothly. For this, you’ll need the expertise of a team of professional wedding DJs like DJ XTC Entertainment!
We are Toronto’s premier wedding DJs and entertainers. We offer something different because we understand your wedding is perhaps the most special day in your life. Hence, we make the experience as personalized as possible.
We’ll bring tunes to rock your wedding and have everyone dancing until the day comes to an end. So, contact us here to book our services and see the packages we have for your Greater Toronto Area wedding!

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?

Top Ten Tips For Planning The Perfect Wedding Reception

The Toronto Wedding DJ & Gravity Class Entertainment's owner Neal A. McFarlane gives you his Top Ten Tips for Planning the Perfect Wedding Reception.

Hi. I'm Neal McFarlane and I'm a 35 year veteran of the wedding and entertainment industry.
This is my top 10 tips for planning the perfect wedding reception.

1.Keep in mind that the guests are going to be where the wedding couple is. If you're on the dance floor, that's where your guests will be too.

2.Don't micromanage the timeline. We do want the order of events that are going to occur, but we don't need the exact time of each.

4.If there are older guests try not to sit them close or right in front of the speakers.

5.Don't put the DJ in an obscure corner or location in the room, they need to be close to the dance floor to be able to read the crowd.

6.If you have dance floor lighting you don't want to make it too bright. You don't want to blind your guests as they're dancing on the dance floor.

7.If you have a bar or a photo booth you want to keep them in the main room where the DJ is. You want to keep all your guests as close to the dance floor as possible.

8.When picking the songs for your wedding take into account not only your tastes, but the taste of your guests as well.

9.You always want to leave your guests wanting more. It's not your responsibility to entertain them until 2 a.m.

10. When picking your music you don't have to overdo it, pick 10 or 20 songs that you like and leave the rest to the DJ to fill in for you.

If you have to cut corners on your budget don't skimp on the entertainment. That's one thing that will make or break your wedding reception. I'm Neal McFarlane and that was my top 10 tips for planning the perfect wedding reception.

Ron & Rehanna's Wedding at Piper's Heath

My Mission was to blend East & West Indian music during this celebration at Piper's Heath in Milton.

One of the big highlights of the night was the performance of Mississauga Tassa Kings.
That coupled with an injection of Bhangra, Chutney, Calypso & Soca helped to mesh the whole night together.

Add in the dinner music from Twin Peaks as well as Corvus Corax during the arm wrestling competition ( yes, you read that right) catapults this as one of the most unique nights that I have had the pleasure of being a part of.

Top 5 Things For Your Wedding Day Emergency Kit

One of the most important things that I bring to an initial consultation with a wedding couple is a copy of a wedding day emergency kit. I always get an odd look when I give it to them. I guess they are thinking, “ What is this thing for?” or “What’s the catch?” In all honesty there is never a catch. If a couple feels that we are a good fit as a company for their upcoming wedding then great. I just want them to be prepared for any emergency that may arise. (They WILL arise)

What are some of the things that should be included in every wedding day emergency kit?

Antacids - If there is a day where nerves will affect your body this would be it. Having a pack of Tums or Pepto-Bismol would be a smart thing to do. Not only for the wedding couple but just about anyone on the big day.
Pins (Bobby pins , Safety pins) – The weather can play havoc with best style hairdo. Also with the amount of walking and posing that will be done there is sure to be a wardrobe issue. Having both of these pins on hand make sure that within seconds a minor crisis can easily be averted.
Band-Aids - simply put, walking in shoes that are not regularly worn can cause undue pain and suffering. It would easily be rectified with a Band-Aid on a “friction suffering” toe or heel.
Tissues – Many couples fool themselves into thinking that they will not be crying. Perhaps having tissues on hand for the parents or siblings may be prudent anyway.

5. Tied to go stick – My personal favorite that has saved me from many a dinner or toasting mishap
