Best Wedding DJ in Edmonton
Music can make or break any event. This is why you need to think through your choice of a wedding DJ really carefully.
To make things easier, we picked out the best DJs in Edmonton based on the following criteria:
1. Grindstone Productions
| Criteria | Ratings |
|---|---|
| Customer Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Experience and Expertise | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Equipment | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Grindstone is on top of Google reviews, but it’s not just the first page entry that caught our eye.
We like that they have a pretty solid team of DJs and entertainers who know what they’re doing.
Their owner, Chris Zard, is a Wedding Planners Institute of Canada (WPIC) Certified Wedding Planner. Meanwhile, the rest of their team have a minimum of five years of wedding experience.
Experience counts for a lot in wedding planning especially when you’re in charge of music. This gives them an edge in anticipating what the guests’ moods are in, what they like, and what sort of ambience they need at any point of the party.
Their professional DJs know how to mix their own music, so there’s no need to worry about gaps between tracks to stop your dancing.
We also like that they have backup entertainers and DJs. This way you never have to worry about your DJ not being available during your wedding.
Meanwhile, their wedding packages also include a light and sound system, so if you book them you only need to worry about your vows!
We also fancy that they don’t charge for consultation, so if you have any questions they’ll be happy to answer them for free!
Clients have noted that Grindstone Productions are very helpful and know the right questions to ask so you don’t get stuck even when you’re not totally sure what you want yet. They even have a comprehensive questionnaire to get a feel of your wants and needs for your event.
With all that said, we do feel that Grindstone Productions is more suitable for a large wedding. If you’re looking for an intimate wedding where guests will be seated and chatting most of the time, you can get away with hiring a sound technician.
Nonetheless, you can still try Grindstone Productions and see if they can offer a service for your dream wedding.
As a bonus, they have a lot of upgrade options you may like too. They offer photo booths, ceremony service, and premium lighting. This way, if you need all of those you only need to hire one place.
We did compare their pricing to the other wedding DJs we have in Edmonton, and they turned out to be one of the more expensive ones.
However, even if that’s the case we would still bet on Grindstone for the expertise of their staff and the variety of offers they have.
All in all, we believe Grindstone Productions is one of the best wedding DJs in Edmonton. They have great staff, reasonable pricing, and expert DJs to help you get the perfect wedding.
Pros
- Offers lighting and photo booth services
- Helpful and responsive staff
- A team of DJs with minimum of five years of wedding experience
- Backup DJs and equipment
Cons
- More suitable for a large wedding
- Marginally more expensive than the other entries on this list
Customer Reviews
Accommodating with date and timeline changes
“Chris and his staff were able to accommodate us due to our changing dates and timelines. The value was great and his DJs are top-notch. Our DJ was Curtis and he was a godsend to us. He was checking in with us when he saw things going slightly off kilter and he rolled with the changes as they came. He checked in with my stressed Groom and that helped us know that he cared how our day was going and to help it continue to be a great night.” – Jennifer, Wedding Wire
Good at reading guests
“We had live music for the ceremony but utilized Curtis’ system for the mic. While we didn’t require him to play music before the ceremony, he filled in the void when the musician was setting up to help set the mood. During the reception, Curtis was really good at reading the guests, figuring out the music they responded well to, and kept the party going!” – Victor Dong, Google Reviews

Thank you so much Chris & Heather for a memorable night
“We had Mystica a part of our special day. They did music for the ceremony and then quickly ran over to the hall to get the music going for our guests. They were absolutely amazing. They kept everything in chcek and made sure to let our guest know what was happening next. We also rented a photo booth from them and that was hands down the best add on. We highly recommend Mystica for anyone looking. From the 1st time we spoke with Chris we knew we had to book them. They had the energy we wanted on our special day, Thank you so much Chris & Heather for a memorable night ” – Tara Karmaschek
They were friendly and played great music.

3. Market Sound Entertainment
| Criteria | Ratings |
|---|---|
| Customer Service | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| Experience and Expertise | ★★★☆★ (4/5) |
| Equipment | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
While a DJ’s musical skills are a must when choosing someone to play at your wedding, it’s also important to find someone easy to work with. By all accounts, Market Sound Entertainment seems to have accommodating DJs who are flexible when it comes to last minute requests.
Although we do not suggest going too crazy with last-minute changes, we do understand that things like that can be unpredictable. As far as we can tell, as long as each request is valid and reasonable, you will have no problem with Market Sound.
They use industry-leading sound and lighting systems. We also love how they’ll personalize your playlist and help you through the planning process.
While we cannot find information on their DJ roster, reviews can guarantee that they are personable and know how to read the crowd.
If you’re short of budget for on-site DJ, we like that they’re offering a Micro-System which takes care of your music needs without the added cost. This essentially takes care of all you need from a DJ without having an actual DJ on-site.
We also like that they have flexible packages with a variety of add-on options such as photo booths, up-lights, subwoofers, projectors, haze, gobos, and more.
We also love that they make a note to be LGBTQ friendly and culturally sensitive. Apart from that, they are licensed and part of the Canadian Professional DJ Association.
All in all, we consider Market Sound Entertainment one of the best in the wedding DJ business. While we could use more information on their team, we like what they’re offering.
Pros
- Accommodating staff
- Offers Micro System for people with a limited budget
- Has a variety of add-ons
- LGBTQ-friendly and culturally sensitive
Cons
- A smaller team of DJs
- No online information on the team
Customer Reviews:
Excellent music, sound quality, and lighting
“We used Market Sound DJ services for our wedding in Summer 2021. Market Sound did an incredible job. We were so happy with the whole experience. We had to change venues to out of town due to the pandemic, and they accommodated us without any issues. We also had a power outage from a storm during the wedding reception and they were able to keep the sound and music going! The music, the sound quality, and the lighting were also excellent—it made the party. The DJ played a great setlist that kept the party going all night. (The) DJ stayed longer for us. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Market Sound again and to recommend them to everyone.” – Brian Neeland, Google Reviews
Made the whole process very easy
“Highly recommend!! Greg made the whole process very easy, especially during COVID. He matched us up with the wonderful DJ Will. He kept the party going all night long & played the right music to keep the dance floor packed. So many of our wedding guests have told us what a blast they had during the party and Will had a huge part to play in that!!” – Linnea Kulak, Facebook
4. Nyquest Entertainment Ltd.
| Criteria | Ratings |
|---|---|
| Customer Service | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Experience and Expertise | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| Equipment | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
For your wedding, you want a DJ that goes above and beyond to make sure you and your guests are having the time of your life. Based on their 5.0 star reviews on both Google and Wedding Wire, Nyquest Entertainment does just that.
They do this with impeccable service, a wide range of music options, and DJs who are down for a good time. Their owner, Jordan Helm, has over 10 years of experience in the events industry and is known for both his skills and friendly manner.
Unlike the rest of our entries, however, they do not have much information on their team so we cannot tell if every one of their DJs is as experienced as Jordan.
We know for a fact that he’s not the only DJ they have, but we don’t know if their team is big or small. They do list themselves as a DJ agency, so we are assuming they have more than enough on payroll, but we would have liked to see who they have on call.
That said, we like that they offer an hour of personal consultation for every event to know exactly what you want out of your wedding.
They also offer a variety of other services such as lighting and photo booths. They also make event slideshows.
Finally, they have a rather competitive pricing based on WeddingWire and Wedding Hero. Their wedding packages start at $100 although we cannot say how much it can go up to.
We assume the final quote will depend on what services you will avail in all. We can safely say it may go up to a few hundreds to even a thousand.
On the whole, Nyquest is one of the more affordable options for a wedding DJ in Edmonton.
Pros
- Low starting price
- Offers specialized lighting, slideshows, and photo booth
- Offers in person consultation
Cons
- No online information on team apart from the owner
- Not as many add-ons available
Customer Reviews:
Well prepared, flexible, and fun
“Jordan was a true professional. He was well prepared, provided guidance and suggestions throughout the process while being flexible and fun on the date of our ceremony and reception. He read the room perfectly and helped us set the perfect tone throughout the entire event. We strongly recommend him to anyone.” Stacey Chuchmuch, Google Reviews
Met all demands
“Jordan (Nyquest Entertainment) is the most energetic person we have ever met, a quality that is necessary for a disc jockey. On top of that, he is very professional and has a variety of skills regarding sound equipment and set up. He met all of our demands for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and everything ran smoothly. He also knows how to incorporate the audience. Some of our closest guests have commented on the quality of his services. We are very happy with his affordable service. Highly recommended!” Karina & Sean, Google Reviews
5. DJ Kwake Entertainment

|---|---|
| Customer Service | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Experience and Expertise | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| Equipment | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
DJ Kwake has been a DJ for over two decades, and he has plenty of stories to tell. He has shared the stage with global superstars like Justine Bieber and Kanye West, so we’re assuming he knows how to rock a party.
If you want someone to add high-energy dancing to your wedding, you can’t go wrong with this one.
That said, DJ Kwake Entertainment doesn’t only have DJ Kwake. They have a whole team, although we would have loved to know more about them.
Like Nyquest, we cannot find available information on their other DJs online. However, based on their perfect 5.0 reviews they do seem to be great for weddings too.
We like that DJ Kwake Entertainment offers pre-event consultation and allows their clients to customize their music playlist. Their wedding package also includes a pro digital sound system and speakers and cordless microphone for the MC.
They also have various packages of top of the line art lighting, rigs, and uplighting for the ambience of your choice.
Their most requested wedding package costs $1500 which is on the higher side. However, we like that this comes with full delivery, setup, and teardown so you don’t need to worry about anything during your big day.
As a whole, we love DJ Kwake Entertainment and what they’re offering. We would have loved to get to know their DJs more so we can tell you about them, but for now we suggest contacting them if you want to know more.
Nonetheless, DJ Kwake truly is one of the best wedding DJs in Edmonton.
Pros
- Experienced DJ
- Packages come with full delivery, setup, and teardown
- Wide range of music options
Cons
- No online information on team apart from the owner
- Marginally more expensive than the other entries on this list

“We brought Clinton out to play music at our first Farm to Table dinner at Shady Lane Estate on July 15th 2017. He was awesome, everyone loved defiantly going to be bring him out to play at more events in the future! Defiantly recommend him to anyone looking for great live entertainment!”
“We hired Clinton to provide live music for our daughter’s outdoor wedding. I couldn’t be happier with that decision. Clinton’s extensive catalogue of songs made it easy for my daughter and son-in-law to choose songs that are meaningful to them. Several of the wedding guests were working musicians, and made comments like: “that guy is so good — where did you find him?” Clinton was very easy to work with, well organized, and his tech setup is compact. A+ recommendation.”
“Having Clinton play at our wedding ceremony + cocktail hour was one of the best decisions that we made! He is a true talent. You won’t be disappointed! His voice is amazing. He also controlled the music for the reception and did a great job! I don’t regret at all not having a DJ! Clinton was able to do it all! Thanks so much Clinton!”

We HIGHLY recommend Spin City Music!!
“We just had Spin City Music DJ, MC and Photo Booth our wedding this past Saturday. From start to finish Mike and Kimberley engaged us, asked all the right questions and put an unforgettable program together for our wedding! The online platform was easy to use and was an amazing tool in the planning process as it had us think of items that we hadn’t. The music was hopping all night long. The ages in attendance ranged from 14-72 and the dance floor was never empty. For the MC portion we hired Mike for, he did an amazing job with light hearted jokes and kept pace of the program throughout the reception. Kimberley’s photo booth was an excellent addition to our reception. Everyone got to walk away with a souvenir of our special day. We HIGHLY recommend Spin City Music!!Thank you SO much Mike and Kim!!” – Jason Zdyb
Mike and Kim met and exceeded our expectations
