The 5 Best DJs in Ottawa for a Beat-Driven Bash at Every Event (Seriously, these DJs deliver!)
Just a few months ago, a friend of mine got engaged, and you know what comes next? Yep, the preparation rollercoaster.
Part of that is nailing down all those crucial details—like finding the best venue, catering, dress, and of course, the party setup. You know, the part where everyone actually kicks off their shoes and lets loose.
And as the best friend (aka unofficial wedding planner and emotional support), I’m right here, making sure everything’s going according to plan.
One thing we needed? A DJ to keep the party going. And I want to help you too!
So after a deep dive into the local scene, I’ve put together a list of the best DJ services in Ottawa to make sure your big day has the perfect vibe. You won’t want to miss these!
How much do DJ services cost in Ottawa?
DJ services in Ottawa typically range from $600 to $2,000, depending on the event’s duration, equipment needed, and the DJ’s experience.
Some services offer customizable packages or additional features like lighting and MC services, allowing you to tailor the experience to your needs.
1. Pulse Entertainment
Address: 45 O’Connor Street
Phone: (613) 697-2407
Business Hours:
- Sunday & Monday: Closed
- Tuesday to Saturday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Pulse Entertainment truly shines in the wedding DJ scene, featuring a talented team that knows how to kick off an unforgettable party.
At the helm is Mark, who has nearly 15 years of experience dazzling crowds across the National Capital Region and the Greater Toronto Area.
And here’s why Pulse stands out: they’re members of the Canadian Professional Disc Jockey Association, licensed through CONNECT, and carry $2 million in liability insurance, so you can ensure a worry-free celebration.
Aside from that, their pricing is transparent, with the Diamond package starting at $1,299 for up to 7 hours of reception DJ service—no hidden fees here.
However, one downside is that if you want to extend your DJ service to 8 hours, the package price jumps to $1,599. This can be a bit steep for those on a budget.

Amazing choice of music
“Mark was such a joy to work with for our wedding day! He took all our music recommendations and made sure the dance floor was having a great time all night long! He made the ceremony music amazing…fading in and out the music perfectly as well as cocktail hour and dinner. He even was a rockstar at MC duties by announcing speeches and other information! Throughout the night and post wedding our guests were so impressed with the music, so thank you Mark! I would have Mark DJ any and all future events!”

Absolutely fantastic team
“We had Mark and Derek play at our wedding this past month and they were absolutely fantastic! Mark was extremely accommodating during the planning stages for our event and the music planning app was very useful and easy to use. During our event, Mark read the room well and our guests rushed to the dance floor from the first song onwards. He quickly adjusted as needed as well. I would absolutely recommend Pulse Entertainment for your event, especially a wedding!”

2. Deez Entertainment
Address: 166 Larkin Drive
Phone: (416) 830-3339
Business Hours: Open 24 hours daily
Deez Entertainment is Ottawa’s go-to for epic DJ services that turn any event into an unforgettable party. These guys don’t just show up with a playlist and some speakers; they bring the whole package.
They’ve got experienced performers and audio-visual experts, all ready to craft a vibe that feels tailor-made for you, be it for something sleek and sophisticated or a full-on dance party.
I really recommend their DJ service because it comes with top-notch special effects, including fog machines, crazy light shows, and something they call “dancing on a cloud”. Your guests will be mind-blown, guaranteed.
But be guided, though, that being one of Ottawa’s go-to DJ services, Deez Entertainment books up fast. If you don’t plan ahead, you might struggle to secure them for your desired date.

Affordable pricing
“We had the pleasure of having David Deez & DJ Ronnie D work our wedding. They both were amazing! They were so high energy and fun. They played everything we wanted, and made it all work so well! A lot of our song requests were from different genres and I was impressed with how seamlessly they blended it all together. They had everyone up and dancing!! The pricing was so affordable too. I loved how they worked with us to fit our budget, without sacrificing a good time! Not to mention they let my 8 year old autistic nephew hang out in the DJ booth for hours helping them DJ. I think he found a new passion in life!! Anyone looking for a wedding DJ i seriously recommend you check these guys out!!! Amanda

Professional from the first meeting to the big day
“I highly suggest hiring Deez Entertainment for your wedding. David and Ronnie definitely brought the party – my guests kept telling me how awesome the DJ’s were! They were able to read the crowd perfectly and played the right songs at the right time. On top of that, their professionalism and involvement from our first meeting to the end of our big day was unmatched. If I were to recommend a wedding DJ to anyone, Deez Entertainment would be my first choice!”

3. Extreme Entertainment DJ Services Inc.
Address: 180 Preston Street Suite 200
Phone: (855) 776-3575
Business Hours: Open 24 hours daily
When it comes to DJ services that deliver a serious live-music vibe, Extreme Entertainment DJ Services Inc. has totally nailed it. They’ll make your event feel like a mini-concert (and honestly, I’m all about it).
Their DJs are handpicked straight from Audioform, their parent company that specializes in live events. And take note, this isn’t your average DJ crew—they bring years of live performance experience.
They’re super flexible too. Whether it’s a casual basement party or a grand banquet, Extreme Entertainment can handle any event size and nail the vibe you’re going for.
Another big plus? Their all-inclusive package. You’re not just booking a DJ; you’re getting 4+ hours of DJ time, a high-quality sound system, wireless mics, and extras like special effects and lighting setups.
But before you get too excited, let’s talk price. Their packages, starting at $1,299 for corporate events and $2,850 for weddings, might be a bit on the steep side if you’re on a tighter budget.

Smooth and professional service from start to end
“We had an amazing experience with Extreme Entertainment DJ for our wedding! From the very start, the lead-up was smooth and professional—They made sure everything was planned to perfection. On the day of the wedding, he truly brought the party to life! Sean was incredible at reading the room, playing exactly what our guests wanted to hear, and keeping the energy up all night long. The dance floor was packed, and everyone had the best time. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!”

Personable and incredible team
“Sean and his team at our wedding were incredible!!!!!!!!!! He had the dance floor moving all night, I had multiple family members asking me how we found our DJ and all said he was playing hit after hit. He was incredible!!!!!! The lady running our photo booth was also fantastic, she helped me sneak out of the photo booth so I would have a few minutes to myself! (Bless her) She got along with all the guests and was very personable!!!! Hands down will recommend them and this company to all my friends and family getting married in the future!!!! ❤️❤️”

4. Quality Entertainment
Address: 81 Auriga Drive, Unit 9
Phone: (613) 526-8742
Business Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 9:30 AM – 5:00 PM
- Saturday & Sunday: On the road
I’ve heard fantastic things about Quality Entertainment DJ, and I can confidently say the vibes sound absolutely amazing.
Their DJs excel at selecting the perfect tunes to create an engaging atmosphere. They’re open to song requests, sliding in random songs without missing a beat or disrupting the mood.
But hold on—there are some caveats. Some clients have noted that their preferred songs often don’t make it to the playlist, which means guests might miss out on tracks that could elevate the atmosphere.
Despite this issue, the sound quality is top-notch. You won’t experience any awkward mic glitches—everything sounds crisp and clear, allowing the music to shine.

Prompt in responding to all emails
“We had Quality Entertainment as our Wedding DJs. The experience was top notch all the way through. They were prompt into responding to all emails to get them booked. Their online portal was easy to use, allowing us to select music for all different parts of the day (ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, etc.). They also made sure to confirm each of the little steps through the day. On the day of their DJ was professional, very easy to communicate and ready to troubleshoot through things like wind noise during the ceremony, and last minute song requests. Would absolutely recommend their team for any couples looking for a Wedding DJ, or for any party in the future!”

Reliable and responsive team
“We use Quality Entertainment for our corporate events. Excellent experience at our recent Christmas party. Our theme was Roaring 20’s and their selection of gobos (object placed in front of light to control image/shape) really brought the room to life. We also employed their DJ services as well as their photo booth. Both were a hit with our guests! The team at Quality is always reliable, quick to respond and fantastic with suggestions. Their experience really shows in their quality of work and recommendations to push our events to the next level.”

5. Dynamix Productions
Address: 323 Coventry Road, Suite 252
Phone: (613) 794-6491
Business Hours:
- Sunday: Closed
- Monday to Friday: 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
- Saturday: 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Dynamix Productions totally wins when it comes to DJ services. They’ve made a name for themselves in the Ottawa-Gatineau area for their top-notch service and attention to detail.
Their DJs are fully bilingual, so they can chat with everyone in both English and French, which is pretty awesome.
They also make sure to personalize everything to fit what each client wants, so every event feels unique and catered.
On top of that, they’ve got a killer music selection that covers all tastes. They know how to keep the energy up and the dance floor packed all night.
But one thing to keep in mind is that Dynamix Productions gets booked up fast, especially during peak event seasons, so it’s smart to secure your spot early.
