Wedding Music

Absolutely incredible! We hired Michael for our wedding at the St Regis Hotel in October, and he was the highlight of the night. From the first consultation, Michael was very professional, attentive, and truly understood the vibe we wanted for our big day. He curated the perfect playlist that kept guests of on the dance floor all night long.

The transitions between songs were seamless, and the energy was great. Michael read the crowd perfectly and made adjustments to ensure everyone was having the best time. Beyond the music, the setup area was flawless, with great lighting and sound quality that added to the overall ambiance! Even the music played during seated dinner was amazing.

So many of our guests commented on how amazing the Michael was, and we couldn’t agree more. If you’re looking for someone who will elevate your event and create unforgettable memories, Michael Coombs is the one to call! We couldn’t be happier with our choice. Highly recommend!

Where do I begin? Michael truly exceeded our expectations for our wedding day. His impeccable music selection kept the dance floor alive right till the end, literally everyone was still dancing until 2am!! He created an incredible atmosphere throughout the night, from the cocktail reception, through dinner and onto the dance floor. He seamlessly blended different genres and our cultural selections to cater to all our guests, watching what everyone enjoyed dancing to most to ensure everyone had a fantastic time! His professionalism and organization was evident from our first meeting to the last song of the night. Michael's ability to read the crowd and adapt to the energy of the room made our wedding reception unforgettable. We received numerous compliments from our guests about the fantastic music and how it was the best wedding they've ever been to! We owe a HUGE part of that to Michael's expertise and passion for his craft. If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond to make your special day unforgettable, Michael is your guy!

Mike was the best DJ we could have ever asked for. We were so blessed to have the absolute best vendors and he was one of them. He was so thorough and detailed throughout the whole process from our first call to even touching base after the wedding. He got us thinking on questions and points of planning that we never would have without him! He met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding and left no stone unturned with planning and making sure his mc-ing and the music was exactly what we wanted. And it was even better! We are still getting compliments months later about Mike and the music and how our wedding was the best people have been to and that’s all thanks to our vendors. We are SO grateful and would never hesitate to recommend Mike ever. You are missing out and doing yourself a disservice if you don’t book him. Thank you so much for everything!!!! ❤️ we are forever grateful.

Michael was awesome! He was our DJ for our wedding at the King Edward hotel in Toronto this past July and he was extremely professional (his booth set up was so nice too - very classy!!!!) and he knew how to make the crowd happy with his music choices while also taking into account the songs my husband and I wanted to hear. We had multiple meetings with him beforehand and he was great to chat with! He certainly made sure the overall mood of the evening was exactly what we had hoped for! We would recommend him to anyone a heart beat! :)

Michael was our dj and he was nothing short of exceptional. He guided the mood effortlessly all night. The dance floor was packed until the venue turned the lights on. Working with Michael was a great experience, and he was very professional through the entire process!

Occasional Notes was absolutely amazing to work with for our wedding day. Right from the beginning, they were excellent with communication, and provided their expertise in ensuring the ceremony would run smoothly. Not only did they help us pick beautiful songs that fit us as a couple, but they were also able to learn a song we requested! Barb & Laurie are undoubtedly talented in what they do, extremely friendly and such a joy to work with - we can't thank you ladies enough!

We have worked with Occasional Notes on many Weddings and Corporate events over the past 8 years, they have always done an amazing job!
Barb & Laurie, along with their talented team of musicians/performers are very professional and constantly raising the bar with their performances.
We recently hired their team for the "Surprise Dinner Entertainment" to crash one of our Corporate Christmas parties, they did such a fantastic job. All of the guests were completely surprised when the performance began...they were especially happy when they learned one of the "servers" was an entertainer as they had guests believing he was going get fired due to his poor service throughout cocktail hour and dinner..It was absolutely hilarious!
This show is a great mix of comedy, singing, dancing, and is appealing to all types of crowds and ages.
I would highly recommend Occasional Notes for any wedding or corporate event!

I recently hired Occasional Notes for a festive party where they supplied a Grinch and two other very talented performers. Their performance helped make my event spectacularly memorable! Not only were they very professional but also fun! The companies attitude is one that suggests they care and can and will make anything happen for you! Both myself as an event manager and my client are very impressed with Occasional Notes and will not hesitate to hire them again.

Occasional Notes cannot be recommended highly enough for anyone seeking professional, thorough service with attention to detail, humour and above all, providing first class musicians appropriate for your needs. I have totally enjoyed working with Laurie and Barb each time and know that their clients are always beyond satisfied with their event. Recommend early booking!

I have known Barb and Laurie from Occasional Notes for several years and have watched their business grow into an incredible company that provides first class musicians for all events. Both ladies themselves are professional, hard working, well presented and, of course, amazing pianists. I recommend them to anyone who wants to enhance their event with beautiful music.

Parkside Drive was incredible! Amazing vocals, great energy, multiple instruments and the perfect vibe all day/night long. They read the crowd well and had everyone dancing, our guests were raving about the band and music, got so many comments on it. So glad we had them as our wedding band!

Hiring Parkside Drive for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. From our first phone call, Parkside Drive was so great to work with - professional, reliable, and fun! One of our biggest goals for our wedding was an amazing dance party and we definitely got that. The dance floor was packed the entire time and we have had so many comments from guests about how amazing our band was. They played all the songs we requested and their talent and expertise really made our wedding dance floor dreams come true. We will never ever forget jumping up and down with our all our guests to "shut up and dance with me", being hoisted on our friends shoulders during "fat bottomed girls", and dancing in the middle of a circle of all our friends and family to "drops of jupiter". We are so grateful for these memories and so happy we had Parkside Drive at our wedding.

My husband and I booked Parkside Drive for our July 2024 wedding and couldn't be happier. RUN AND BOOK THEM for your wedding! They are insanely talented and made our night unforgettable. They were fantastic to work with before the wedding, offering a great selection of songs and even learning some of our special requests. The lead singer was a hit, interacting and dancing with everyone on the dance floor. People are still raving about how much fun they had, and a huge part of that credit goes to this amazing band.

Can't recommend Parkside Drive enough. Besides being extremely talented and playing from an awesome music selection, they are super easy to work with and went above and beyond in accommodating all of our special requests. All of our guests were incredibly complimentary.

Parkside Drive made our wedding incredible. From the moment we heard their sound, we were hooked and had to have them play at our wedding. The entire band (especially the vocals) were top notch and Dave was awesome to work with. He was very organized and responsive to our requests. We had so many compliments from guests about the music which was one of the things I worried about most. Highly recommend them if you're looking for a wedding band and don't know where to start. We will be going back to enjoy Parkside Drive if they play in Toronto again.

We had an amazing experience with Revolution Entertainment and our DJ Britain for our wedding.

From start to finish, they were absolutely fantastic. The music selection was spot on and kept the party going all night! The transitions between each part of the evening were smooth and seamless, which made everything flow perfectly.

Our DJ didn’t just play music she brought an incredible energy to the event and did a phenomenal job as our MC. She handled announcements, guided the evening's schedule effortlessly, and even took care of calling tables for dinner, which really helped everything stay organized and stress-free.

We truly couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, fun, and truly gets how to run a wedding smoothly, I would highly recommend Revolution Entertainment.

We used Revolution Entertainment for our wedding DJ and it was amazing! Kaleb kept the bops coming and knew exactly what the crowd needed to dance all night long! They were fantastic to deal with and was such an easy process to book. The ladies during the booking process were very nice and explained every possible need/ charge for the wedding. I would definitely recommend Revolution to anyone looking for an event DJ!

My husband and I are so glad we chose Revolution Entertainment for our wedding. DJ Jeremy was absolutely fantastic! The staff at Revolution Entertainment were very easy to communicate with in the lead up to the wedding. On the day itself, the music flowed seamlessly from start to finish. Even though I don’t typically enjoy dancing, my husband and I were on the dance floor the entire night! Jeremy did a fantastic job keeping the energy high, incorporating guest requests, and making sure everyone stayed engaged and had fun.

We heard so many compliments from our guests about how amazing the DJ was. We also appreciated Jeremy’s positive, upbeat energy — it felt like he was genuinely having fun and celebrating with us. At first, we weren’t sure about hiring a DJ, but I have zero regrets about going with Revolution Entertainment. We’re so thankful for the memories of dancing and celebrating with the people we love most.

If you’re looking for a wedding DJ, I can’t recommend Revolution Entertainment and DJ Jeremy highly enough.

We had Sean from Revolution Entertainment as our DJ for our wedding, and he was AMAZING! From the moment the music started, the energy was perfect — he kept the vibe fun, smooth, and exactly what we were hoping for. He read the room so well, played all the right songs at the right time, and made sure the dance floor stayed full all night long!

Sean was also super easy to work with leading up to the big day — professional, responsive, and just genuinely great to talk to. We really appreciated how he checked in with us during the reception to make sure we were happy with everything.

So many of our guests mentioned how great the music was and how much fun they had — and a huge part of that was thanks to Sean. If you're looking for a DJ who knows how to set the mood, keep the party going, and take care of everything seamlessly, Sean is your guy!

Thank you so much, Sean and Revolution Entertainment, for helping make our wedding so memorable!

We had the honour of working with DJ Brittan from Revolution for our wedding yesterday, and she truly brought the magic! From the moment we started planning, they were great to work with. and Brittan seamlessly incorporated all of our music choices into the night.

The timing was spot on, and she expertly kept everything on schedule, even when a few things had to be shuffled around. Her energy and flare made the dance floor infectious, and she had an amazing ability to read the room and play the perfect songs to keep the party going all night long.

What really impressed us was how Brittan went above and beyond, reading the room, and playing some of our favorite songs even though they weren't on the must-play list. It made the night feel extra special and personal.

As our MC, Brittan was professional, friendly, and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly and that our guests had an amazing time. She was high energy (which is exactly what we wanted) and brought the vibe we were looking for. We also want to give a shoutout to Roxanne, who was incredibly helpful behind the scenes, answering all of our questions quickly and professionally.

We never had a single worry about the music or entertainment, thanks to Brittan's expertise and professionalism. She truly knows how to mix music and create an unforgettable experience.

Huge thank you Revolution Entertainment & DJ Brittan! You made our wedding awesome!!

First time customer and I am a huge fan now! This establishment is the perfect setting for the ultimate experience. It’s a true SPA. I have been to countless businesses for a pedicure or manicure etc but nothing can compare to this service, and it’s in a rural town and not the big City. My friend and I had the floating pedicures; a manicure and the bonus was a head massage. Let me tell you it’s absolutely surreal. There is nothing like it! The cleanliness of this oasis is impeccable. I also absolutely love the fact that you are not lined up like in chairs and it’s loud and not attentive to you the guest. My friend and I were in a relaxing room and no other customers. It was relaxing and the weighted eye masks during your pedicure and head massage is just the touch to whisk you away to an incredible experience. Highly recommend!!! I will be promoting on my social media platforms.
See you again soon

This adorable and tranquil little spa is the most endearing place I've ever stepped into.

How grateful I am to have given it a try.

I had a wonderful and very knowledgeable experience having a massage with Lana that left me feeling great and feeling even more confident I'm on the right path.
This lovely lady has so much valuable knowledge that must be shared and hopefully listened to by all.
I look forward to my next appointment!!

Best facial service … EVER! Sometimes you want a facial for specific skin treatments and sometimes you just want to melt away in a sea of tranquility …. The latter was my goal this week. The service I received is called the Tranquility Face & Body Ritual. It’s a 90min service that includes a body massage and facial, which also included massage! The aesthetician was well trained, the room was quiet, the music soft …. I was indeed relaxed!

The spa itself is fabulously charming! So much thought went into every detail. And there’s a kitty!!! I can’t wait to come back - this little day spa is 10/10!

I would like to thank the staff at Sagestone Dayspa for my wonderful experience on my birthday. I went for a facial and a massage for mother's day/ birthday gift fromy daughter's and sister. Absolutely loved it! So relaxing. I would 100% recommend this place to everyone. Thank you Sagestone Dayspa! I will definitely be back! ❤️

Great location downtown, charming heritage home converted to the spa. Relaxing and esthetically appealing is a understatement. The staff were warm and welcoming. The owner Jody was so attentive always checking in to see if we were happy or needed anything. My sagestone spa pedicure and tranquility ritual body treatment were amazing! Definitely will go back again.

Silvio and his band were phenomenal to work with and we’re beyond incredible! Their sound, repertoire and overall service was beyond!! They made our wedding hit a higher level of amazing!! We highly recommend them and their decor company! They did our chuppah and aisle runner and it was better than we could have ever imagined!! Only amazing things to say about them! Highly highly recommend!!! Don’t miss out on having the best band and decor services!!

Professional, wonderfully talented, and just great people to work with. We went with SophistOccasion for our wedding, and not only did we have absolutely nothing to worry about, we were impressed. These are exceptional musicians, with a lot of experience, and they were flawless. In addition, we appreciated our interactions with them leading up to our wedding; they are nice people, and take their work to heart. They took the time to understand what was important to us, and what kind of wedding we were looking to have with our 300 guests. I have no hesitation recommending SophistOccasion to anyone, a truly great group of people.

My wife and I wanted a band for our wedding and we decided to go with SophistOccasion. Let’s just say we had the best night of our lives!
They had all our guests on the dance floor the whole night and us as well! They sound phenomenal and are such great performers. However, beyond that, Silvio and Caroline are great people who really helped us throughout the whole process and met all our demands (and even last minute ones). They even have a decor service which gave our venue a beautiful and classy look.

My wife and I couldn’t be happier with how the night turned out. We definitely recommend them for any party, and we will recommend them to all our friends!

Thanks again!

We hired Sophistoccasion for our wedding in June 2022 and they did not disappoint! Not only was the music great (they had ppl dancing all night) but Silvio was also a great MC and the band’s charisma and attitude set the right tone for the whole night. Besides a great performance, Sophistoccasion was a pleasure to deal with - responsive, accommodating, reliable, etc. We would not hesitate to hire them again!

SophistOccassion made our wedding night a truly spectacular and magical affair. It was an absolute pleasure working with Silvio, Caroline and the whole SophistOccasion team. They are so professional and go above and beyond to ensure that you have the time of your life. Our guests kept coming up to us all night to tell us how absolutely amazed and impressed they were with the band. Cannot recommend this band enough, truly amazing talent and will make your affair a night to remember!

I had the sincere pleasure of seeing SoulStation Orchestra show band for the very first time live in a public show atmosphere, on Friday June 13th 2025 at the Grand Prix Des Sauvers at Little Italy Park in Montreal! What a wonderful way to kick off the summer season!
I highly recommend SoulStation for weddings, corporate functions, birthdays, baptisms, communions/confirmations - and much more! Whatever it may be...they bring the party to you! The band members are the absolute sweetest and always deliver an exceptional performance!! From the songs from back then to now into Italian songs, it was a real party!!! I was truly a happy camper!!! :)

We had the pleasure of having Soul Station Orchestra for the live entertainment for our wedding. They were our 10 piece show band for our reception as well as our live entertainment for cocktail hour and live saxophone for our bride and groom entrance as well as the MC throughout the event. Daniel and team were amazing to work with. So professional, fair in pricing, quick to answer emails or a text and attended many meetings to ensure the day went as seamless as possible. The music was amazing, the sound and the band were incredible and that’s the one thing that we continuously get told about from our wedding - how amazing the live entertainment was! Everyone said it made the entire ambiance for the night! Thank you, Daniel - for everything! We hope to see you again ❤️

Had the pleasure of working with them for our wedding yesterday, and boy did they deliver! Many of our guests said that it was the best wedding they’ve been to in a while, and complimented on how great the music was.

Daniel and Veronica, and everyone else on their team were a joy to work with. They were always checking up on us and make sure our big day would go smoothly.

The absolute best! Daniel, Veronica and their team made our wedding the best event ever! All of our guests came to tell us how much they enjoyed the music, from the ceremony, cocktail and reception. Danny and Vernonica were easy to work with and flexible. We can't thank them enough!

We had the absolute pleasure of having SoulStation Live Band perform at our son John and daughter-in-law Vanessa’s wedding, and they were OUTSTANDING from start to finish!

Their energy, talent, and stage presence brought the entire celebration to life. The dance floor was packed all night, and guests of all ages couldn’t stop raving about how incredible the music was. Every song was performed with passion and professionalism, they truly know how to read the crowd and keep the vibe going.

A special mention to Veronica, whose violin performance during John and Vanessa’s opening dance was so eloquent, flawless and beautiful, it added such a magical and emotional touch to the moment.

Thank you to SoulStation for helping make the night unforgettable. You were such an important part of what made the wedding so special. We highly, highly recommend you!

It was amazing to work with That’s Amore for their DJ service at our wedding. They really understood our vision and brought it to life. We had a mixed group of French and Romanian communities. The DJ did an amazing job at making sure that they all feel included and stay on the dancefloor all night. It was really the best evening and a big part is thanks to the DJ. We received excellent feedback from the guests as well who had so much fun. Thank you again for your professionalism, attention to details and the amazing night! 🙏

Johnny DJed our wedding and we’re so incredibly happy with his work!! Johnny bring incredible enthusiasm and professionalism to his events and was so helpful in organizing the wedding as well.

He’s flexible, experienced but most of all incredibly kind and charismatic. He distinguishes himself in how much he gets to know the couples to personalize their experience. He brought SO much energy to our wedding and it really makes the whole night so much fun for us and our guests. The vibes he brings would elevate any even in any space at any budget.

We would choose him a hundred times over again!

We hired That’s Amore Productions for our wedding this year. Johnny was such a pleasure to work with, extremely professional and knowledgeable. He helped coach us throughout the process leading up to the big day so that everything ran smoothly. That’s Amore Productions specializes in multicultural weddings, with ours being Lebanese and Italian, we were in great hands. He was able to cater to both cultural traditions and both families were super well represented. He communicated very well with the venue to ensure timely sequencing of events. We also used Johnny’s services for photo and video, together making it a one stop shop and negated the need for a wedding planner. We highly recommend!!

10/10. Johnny, from the beginning, was helpful, informative and helped with anything we needed or any questions we had. The whole process was flawless. Joe, our DJ, was so fantastic and so sweet. Came to see us all night to make sure we were still on schedule and if everything was going to our liking. And finally, Mike, our photographer, was the bomb. Quick, knows his stuff and really got some beautiful shots. definitely one of the best photographers I’ve seen.

Thank you for everything That’a Amore. If you are getting married, definitely use this service!

That's Amore Productions went above and beyond expectations when it came to planning our wedding. With COVID causing over a year of delays, Johnny put us at ease by remaining flexible, reassuring us, and updating us regularly as restrictions and recommendations changed. Our guests had an amazing time despite doing things differently in COVID times. Johnny animated the evening in English and Italian, so that all our guests could understand, and organized several fun games for everyone to play and we are still getting positive feedback from our guests almost two months later! Thank you, That's Amore Productions for giving us the wedding beyond anything we imagined.

Pop-Up Chapel offered a memorable experience for my partner and I. We wanted to have an intimate wedding ceremony without stress or excessive spending, so booking our engagement photo shoot and wedding through Pop-Up Chapel was the perfect decision! The booking process was smooth, everyone on the team was friendly and helpful, and the ceremony was so beautiful. I highly recommend the Standard Package for any couples looking to have a small, but meaningful wedding ceremony in a unique way.

I could not have asked for a better way to celebrate our special day. The team from Pop-Up Chapel worked wholeheartedly to create a one-of-a-kind, hassle-free, and truly memorable experience. To our surprise, the décor on the day perfectly matched our wedding outfits—it felt like it was meant to be. They were also thoughtful in accommodating our minor suggestions during the wedding, which made us feel so cared for. Thank you, Pop-Up Chapel team, for making our day unforgettable!

We’re both based abroad and couldn’t plan a traditional wedding, so Pop-Up Chapel was honestly the perfect option for us. The whole process was incredibly smooth and stress free. We had one point of contact who handled everything, which made such a difference. All we had to do was show up with our outfits, rings, marriage licence, and our guests. That’s it. Everything else was beautifully taken care of. It was small, simple, and exactly what we needed. On top of that, it was very affordable for everything that was included. We had the best time and are so glad we chose Pop-Up Chapel. My sister also had her wedding with them, so we’ve seen firsthand how consistently great they are. Really highly recommend to anyone looking for an easy, meaningful, and well organized celebration.

The experience was seamless! Everyone we spoke to throughout the process was super accommodating and kind! We really wanted to go with a stress-free ceremony option and this was not only affordable, but everything is sorted for you! All we had to do was show up and not worry about any of the small details. My husband and I fell in love with the venue (Globe and Mail Centre) and without Pop-up chapel there would have been no way for us to have our ceremony there. We did end up having a dinner and a reception later in the day after our ceremony, so this was still an amazing option even if you are planning a big celebration after the ceremony.

My husband and I are so happy with our experience with the Pop-Up Chapel Co. They were incredibly easy to work with and made the entire experience a breeze - once we provided a few of our preferences we truly just had to show up. All of the vendors that supported on the day-of were amazing, too!

We would highly recommend them for anyone looking for a low-stress way to celebrate their wedding.

Dario, was fantastic. The place was great for the large event event of 34 people. Karaoke was huge hit. TV in two rooms were used for bday slide shows. Bluetooth speakers are great quality and there are two. Pool, ping pong, racing sim, Pac-Man, just great. Lots of fun and tons of room. Thank you to the staff. Great work.

I recently held a seminar event at The Spot and had a fantastic experience. The venue is very nice, exuding a professional and clean atmosphere that immediately made me feel comfortable. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the event, ensuring everything ran smoothly. I was impressed by the attention to detail and the overall organization of the seminar.

I highly recommend The Spot for any event or seminar you may be planning. It truly exceeded my expectations and I look forward to attending future events at this exceptional venue. Thank you to the team at The Spot for a wonderful experience!

We threw a party there for my husband’s birthday and had a great time! It was like having a bar to ourselves where we could shoot pool, play fuseball, shoot some hoops (my favorite) & have our own dance party. Everyone had such a great time and thought it was a great idea! Best part, no after party clean up like we would have had to do if we hosted at our house.

In a super random location, there is not much parking and it’s in the upstairs of the sex and weed shop next door.

Went there for a party rental and the games are a nice touch but the inside is super dated and very hot in the summer. They have AC but it’s not very strong on a hot day with a lot of people inside. There is a full kitchen and a room with pool tables but everything inside is a bit run down. If your doing a low key kids party or teenager party it might be a good option. Anything for adults I wouldn’t recommend.

Attended my neices birthday party here. The place was very spacious and clean. Lots of games and entertainment for birthday parties and game nights. Highly recommend for anyone looking to do their kids birthday or want a spot for poker night or pool and ping pong. Thank you so much to the owner and staff who made this possible.

My husband and I hired Vegas Entertainments for our wedding this June at a River Cafe in Calgary. Chris was really responsive and easy to work with! We filled out some forms a few weeks before the wedding that were straightforward with the info and even certain playlists we wanted.

During the wedding, we had Ryan as our DJ and he was wonderful! After talking to other past brides, I don’t think anyone had a DJ who actually checked in with them during the reception. Ryan came over during supper to check that we were happy with the volume. And during the dance he checked in a couple times with me or my husband about how we were liking the music and to confirm what songs we wanted to end the night with. He was very discreet and I really appreciated it! We had a great dance floor and I was probably on it for all but 5 minutes during the night.

I’d originally considered not having a DJ, but I’m so happy that we changed our mind. Vegas Entertainment was the perfect choice!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Chris for our wedding, and let me tell you—he is amazing! He truly brought the party to our special day and kept the energy going from start to finish. Chris is not only talented at what he does, but he’s also incredibly easy to talk to and super flexible. We had a few last-minute changes, and he accommodated everything seamlessly without a hitch. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how great the music was and how fun the atmosphere felt. If you’re looking for someone who will take your event to the next level, Chris is the DJ you want!

I had an amazing experience from start to finish. Chris was so easy to work with and everything got booked incredibly smoothly. Our DJ was Michelle and she made our wedding even better. She kept double checking that everything was going well and clearly cared so much whether things went well. I cannot say enough nice things about her or. Highly recommend.

Chris was nothing short of Amazing. He honoured our pricing from the quote we received a year ago, even with add-ons we didn’t put a deposit on. Did a great job coordinating through the night with song selection and reading the crowd. The best part is he custom made our watermark for the Photo Booth a day before the wedding as ours was last minute and low resolution. Would recommend for any event!

We had the most incredible experience with Chris Minor from Vegas Entertainment. From the start of the inquiry process to the very end of the night we were very well taken care of. Chris was hilarious, the perfect pick for emcee and he went above and beyond to work around my chaotic and unorganized day. We are very happy with their services and will use them again given the opportunity!

I had gone for my Senior Prom and it was such a lovely venue the staff were so incredibly accommodating and kind, I had such a lovely time and I'm so happy that this was the venue for my last celebration in High-school! The speakers were great and the decor and photography opportunities were absolutely grandiose! I cannot express how kind and patient the staff were and I'm so utterly greatful for their kindness. Such a lovely venue made the night that much more special! I also really really appreciated the option of gender neutral bathrooms and the cleanliness of said bathrooms. Overall the whole experience was excellent!

What can I say about this place?

Well... A great beautiful place to have memorable moments, the staff, each one of them just flawless customer service, the food? Just extremely delicious!!! The servers, classy, professionals and friendly.

Thank you very much.

I hope to visit this place again, soon!!!

We hosted a Sufi Night at Empire Banquet Hall, and the experience was outstanding. Manjeet and Gurinder went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. Even though I hired a sound engineer, they helped me maneuver through all the necessary vendors—personally contacting them and helping to arrange the services I needed. Their support with the sound system, decorations, and overall setup made a complex event feel effortless.

The food was unbelievable, and everyone was amazed not only by the facility but also by the warmth of the service and the exceptional quality of the food. Empire Banquet Hall truly delivered in every way, and I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a special event.

🌸 A heartfelt thanks to the proud TEAM of Empire Estate and Empire Hall. 🙏

At Empire Estate, my marriage function was managed so beautifully, and at Empire Hall, everything was handled outstandingly — even when my guests unexpectedly increased, you accommodated everyone with absolute perfection. Both venues truly delivered world-class service.

🌿 Empire Estate – filled with natural beauty, offering a dreamlike setting.
❤️ Guest Welcome Gate – absolutely exceptional
✨ Table Setup – No.1
💃 Stage & Dance Floor – simply breathtaking

✨ Cleanliness – 10/10
✨ Table Service – superb
✨ Staff – very polite & welcoming
✨ Food – delicious and full of flavor
✨ Food Stations / Bar Setup – beyond imagination

A big thank you once again to the entire Empire Estate & Empire Hall team for your dedication, effort, and hard work. 🙏

You didn’t just host our event — you created memories that will stay with us forever. 🌟
Forever grateful for your love, hospitality, and warmth. ❤️

I hosted the greatest Nowruz Gala in Calgary at Empire Banquet Hall, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The venue itself is elegant, spacious, and beautifully maintained—perfect for a large celebration like ours. The management team was incredibly accommodating and professional, making sure every detail was taken care of.

The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout the entire event.

Special thanks to the Empire team for helping us make this event memorable. We’ve received amazing feedback from attendees, and we look forward to hosting future events here. Highly recommend for weddings, cultural events, and large gatherings!

And absolutely beautiful concert hall with amazing acoustics. I was in awe as I looked around. Thanks to a friend who was playing in Les Amateurs Virtuoses, I was able to be seated in the Dress Circle - directly overlooking the Orchestra and pianists. Such an incredible experience! If you have the chance to visit and see a live performance there, I would highly suggest it.

The staff here is fantastic and really elevate the experience. I'm always impressed by the quality of sound and the organ is probably the best sounding one in Canada. If they had healthier snacks and dark chocolate, I'd rate the concert hall 5 stars easily.

Such a stunning theatre! Had the privilege to experience the Calgary Philharmonic in their out of this world performance of interstellar/space scores.

The orchestra & choir sent chills through my body, such a beautiful thing to experience live. I would highly recommend seeing one of their shows if you get a chance. Not a single bad seat in the entire theatre.

I went to watch Who's Live Anyway. Excellent show, it was awesome watching them in person. Great venue even if the seating is a little on the tight side, but the sight lines are excellent. The parkade definitely leaves something to be desired. Though convenient, getting people out efficiently is definitely not a strong point.

Went to see one of the symphony Sunday concerts. Fun experience for our family. The production and story, A Paintbrush for Piccolo, kept us all entertained and engaged throughout. Though there were a lot of young families the result met expectations with most children being surprisingly calm and attentive! Not a typical concert scenario of mostly silence but still enjoyable!

Hiring Nicholas Straccini and his band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. They were organized and responsive leading up to the day, arrived early, coordinated smoothly with our planner/venue, and sounded phenomenal from the first note. The setlist flowed effortlessly across classics and modern hits, the volume was perfectly balanced for both dancing and conversation, and the band’s stage presence kept the floor packed all night. Professional, kind, and exceptionally talented. Nicholas and team created the party we hoped for and more. We’d book them again in a heartbeat.

We hold a 3 day music festival every year. This year at the last minute our Saturday night band canceled due to an injury.
We scrambled to find a replacement band. Nick was able to put together a band in less than a week for us .
The band didn’t disappoint. They had everyone up dancing all night. A band that had not played together before did a great job pulling it all together for us . Their choice of music was just perfect for our crowd.

We are so happy we chose Nick and band to play at our wedding. They were instrumental (no pun intended) in making our wedding day the dream day we hoped for and it was just EPIC. They played everything we wanted and even surprised us with a secret song I did not think they would play. What a way to cap off the night. Just an amazing experience with Nick, he was truly professional and responsive to all our requirements and his team was stellar! Thanks Nick and Band.
Brigitte and Pierre.

We booked the Nick Straccini Band for our wedding, and were simply blown away by their performance! When planning our wedding, having live music was one of the most important things to us, and we are so happy that we found Nick and his band - They exceeded all of our (high) expectations!

Nick put a ton of effort into selecting a set list that suited both of our tastes, and learned to play our first dance song, which will be a moment we will both treasure forever. The jazz quartet during the cocktail hour helped set the mood - and even got our 2 year old flower girl dancing!

After dinner, they kept everyone, including us, dancing all night long! Thank you Nick + Band!

We hired Nick for my husband's 50th surprise birthday party. He was amazing! He was so accommodating for us -- the weather was not the greatest but he played on and made the night one that we will remember forever. He was able to play all of the requests from the audience and was very interactive with everyone. He even played my husband's favourite song -- Thunderstruck from ACDC :) Nick is truly a remarkable performer but also a wonderful human being -- we loved having him at our party! I highly recommend Nick for your next event.

Fantastic DJ and Photo Booth for our Wedding!

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Quality Entertainment for our wedding at the Brookstreet Hotel on May 3, 2025. From the very beginning, the booking process was seamless and easy. We loved their online portal, which made it so simple to submit all our wedding details and song requests in one place.

Our DJ, Dave, was incredible! He was so professional and curated the perfect playlist that had everyone on the dance floor all night long. He really understood the vibe we were going for and created such a fun and energetic atmosphere.

The photo booth was also a massive hit with our guests! It was set up early, was super easy to use, and came with great props. It added so much fun to the reception. We can't recommend Quality Entertainment enough for their amazing service!

I cannot effuse enough about the wonderful job Quality entertainment did for us at my daughter’s wedding this past weekend. Emma was our contact and she was available always, and so helpful! She worked hard to ensure we got exactly what we were hoping for. The disc jockey that they sent to our event was absolutely phenomenal. So thank you for that Dusson!! He was energetic. Engaging. Happy. Fantastic personality. It started with a request that he play Nat King Cole when my husband and I came up to do the mother father speech.. perfectly timed! I don’t have photos yet of how wild the dance floor was.. He didn’t just play songs he danced at his station with a huge smile on his face all night long. That dance floor did not stop moving until after 1 AM. THANK YOU DUSSON!… And on top of the fabulous And seamless music throughout the night, the Classic photo booth was a huge hit. I had friends, my age, Who couldn’t get near it because the 30 somethings couldn’t stay away from it. Honestly, if you have a wedding, use Capital Entertainment. And if you are very lucky, you will get Emma as your coordinator. And if you’re super lucky, you will get Dusson as your music guru. Thank you so much to all at your company for doing such a fabulous job. It was a huge success all around.

We had a fantastic experience with Quality Entertainment. From the start, they were incredibly responsive and helpful, always answering our questions and making us feel confident throughout the planning process. They were also very accommodating with our special requests, which meant a lot to us.
On the day of our wedding, both the DJ (iLon) and live musicians were amazing. The music was exactly what we wanted — fun, professional, and perfectly timed. They really helped set the tone and kept the energy going all night.

We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, talented, and easy-to-work-with team for their wedding or event!

My husband and I were so happy that we picked quality entertainment. The DJ was amazing, he knew how to keep the party going! We also hired a live musician for our ceremony and he was wonderful. Emma was super helpful throughout the whole process. Would definitely recomend !

We used Quality Entertainment for our wedding this past weekend and they absolutely nailed it! Our contact Brianna was incredible throughout the planning process. Their portal and planning forms make choosing music easy and organized, and they even cut and remixed some songs for us. Our DJs Mubarak and Lisa were great! Our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner service ran seamlessly and the dance floor was full the entire night! Thank you!

We had our wedding here and it turned out perfectly. The views are stunning and the ceremony was so beautiful under the trees. The outdoor space was big enough to have the separate areas for the ceremony, a large area for cocktail hour on the lawn m, and a 40x40 tent set up. The inside of the building was perfect for our dance party, but would be a perfect place for dinner as well. The landscaping is beautiful as well which made the whole space look incredible. This place had everything we needed and Gabrielle was so easy to work with.

We recently had our wedding at the Southern Alberta Pioneers Memorial Building and it was the perfect venue! The rental rate for the whole weekend was so reasonable and made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable as we had ample time for set up and clean up before and after the wedding. Gabrielle was so so helpful and able to answer any questions we had. We almost got rained out but the space provided the perfect backup plan in case we needed it. I would highly recommend this place as a venue for all sorts of events!

We had the best experience working with Gabrielle and the SAP for our wedding. We had both our ceremony and reception at the venue. Gabrielle was incredibly helpful, responsive to our questions, and very pleasant to work with. We highly recommend this venue!

We had our wedding at the Pioneers building! It was incredibly magical. Gabrielle is amazing and helped make our day so special. What a hidden gem of a venue.

I had the privilege and honor to have my wedding at this establish in August 2019. Southern Alberta Pioneers Memorial Building is Calgary hidden gem (and I truly mean gem). I am third generation Calgarian and none of my family or I knew that this placed existed. The beauty of this building and its surrounding garden space will take anyone's breath away. All day all of our guest had came up to us and had to express how they were all blown away, and how incredible the venue was. We saw many of guest just take a moment with their loved ones to sit on one of the many benches and reflect with their loved ones. Just by seeing them sit there they were at true bliss, calm, relaxed.... just gazing at the view (from the mountains in the background to the elbow river just right below) a moment of true reflection and then they got up and walked away with a huge smile on their face. I can not thank Gabriella and her team enough. They are amazing, so easy to work with and so calming! Gabriella made everything so easy for us, and is extremely accommodating. If you are looking for a "wow" venue this is the place to go!

Sean did a great job at my sister‘s wedding. We had good communication before the wedding. We had requested some Persian music which he was able to play well and on time. Thank you for your help Sean.

Highly recommended!! I was incredibly impressed with this company. I requested a quote online and was immediately contacted by Sean to answer my questions and provide a ton of useful information to help plan our wedding. We wanted to have live guitar for our ceremony and then a really fun DJ for the reception. Sean was able to satisfy all of these things, and went above and beyond with his ability to learn a song we requested on the guitar for me to walk down the aisle to. Gave me an extra pep in my step to hear him play our favorite song on such an important day! The music during our dinner was perfect, sound quality was great. He was really good at checking in to make sure everything was as we expected throughout the evening. We had a ton of fun on the dance floor, great selection of music, super approachable and very professional. Thank you so much Sean!

Thank you Sean at 1st in Entertainment DJ for providing fantastic music at our school dance! The kids at Panorama Hills School (K-4) absolutely loved every minute of the dance - from the music, to the lights, and the fog machine - it was all top notch! We especially loved how Sean interacted with the kids, and let them use some of the equipment...they couldn't get enough of the fog! :)

Sean was extremely helpful when we were planning our event, and always replied to emails in a timely fashion. He was professional from start to finish.

We can't wait for our next dance! Thank you again!

Sean was our DJ and he was professional, personable and his confidence behind the mic and positive energy was contagious!

Our outdoor event was on the coldest day of the year-- Sean came prepared for the elements-- he knew what he was doing and his setup of the audio system worked perfectly for the outdoors.

As a bonus, he brought lights and even a smoke machine! People of all ages attended the event loved the mix of music and enjoyed skating to all the tunes!!

Somehow you convinced yourself that there are no consequences to your actions. No price to pay, right Sean? However, the bill always comes due.

At this point it's not even about what you owe me, it's about principles, ethics, and integrity. Ignoring my messages won’t magically make me forget 🤷🏽‍♂️

I could smell alcohol on your breath that evening, did you drive that night Sean? I'm curious. No consequences, right Sean?

You know what you did and acknowledged it. I gave you time to make things right but haven't done so far. You lack respect, ethics and have shown questionable moral standards. One should be ashamed of themselves.

I get it things are tough, but that’s when you communicate with people, we’re not animals. But when you start ignoring someone you owe money, you get a reaction.

Keep the money, this review will remain. Let it serve as a warning for others to NOT do business with you period.

Thief!

I’ve attended events at this venue several times as a guest and always loved the service and the food. When it came time to choose my own wedding venue, I knew it was the right choice—and working with Steven confirmed that. He was incredibly kind, helpful, cooperative, and professional. Steven and his team ensured everything ran smoothly on the big day, and the food was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend this venue if you’re looking for a beautiful setting, exceptional food, and a team of true professionals.

I recently did my wedding at this venue and it is a beautiful venue with amazing service. Steven and Elie were fantastic to work with, they were very helpful and attentive. The food was spectacular, but more so the Chef was very friendly. Everything about this venue is great, from the staff, to the management, to the hall itself, I couldnt have been more happy to have done my wedding at Blu Legacy.

Attending an event at the Blu Legacy Convention Centre was an absolute delight. The venue was breathtaking, providing a perfect setting for a memorable evening. The highlight for us was the exceptional food; each dish was a culinary masterpiece, both in taste and presentation. The staff’s professionalism and attention to detail ensured everything ran seamlessly. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Blu Legacy for another unforgettable experience. Thank you Elie, Steven , Christine and Angela for the amazing event !

Just had a year end event here and it was incredible. Food was delicious, staff was attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Definitely recommend for your event

I'm a musician and I was performing at a party for my friend! The hall was big and luxurious. The sound was good, no noise. Only the electrical inputs were old and in need of repair.

Kin experience offered a seamless experience by assisting with our event. Met every need and demand, answered in a timely manner and made sure everything was running smooth. Even after the event they made sure we had a good time and everything was up to stabdard

Really cool spot for hosting event shoutout intro to expo on ig

Danced my way into the New Year from dusk till dawn. My feet are questioning my life choices, but hey, who needs sleep when you can dance under the stars until they turn into sunrise coffee cups? 🌃💃☕

Hosted a conference at Kin Experience last November and my organization team and I really appreciated the timely responses from Max. The venue itself is charming and holds every amenity needed for snack bars as well as chairs and tables for guests. They were really flexible in terms of letting us set us and cleaning out too which helped the event go smoothly. This is a venue we will definitely keep in mind for next time! Thank you again!

Amazing venue! The staff very helpful and kind. They catered to my needs and there was no such thing as a bad question. I def will rent again. Thanks Collectif MTL 👏🏾

Peter was great to work with as our wedding DJ. He managed the flow of the reception really well and he kept everyone dancing all night long. We got lots of positive comments from guests. They really know the business of weddings!

Peter and Mia were genuinely extraordinary! We were impressed by their professionalism, charisma, and their ability to read and animate a crowd! I really can"t think of any way that Peter could have been a more helpful and talented DJ. From day one, Peter was invested in making our wedding an event that we would remember. And he achieved that goal. Every guest we have spoken to comment on the quality of the music and ambiance of our wedding. What to say about Mia? Her talent is undeniable, as a singer and an MC and we loved her energy as did the crowd. We would recommend them without hesitation. If every we have another event, you can bet we will be calling on Peter and Mia!!

Working with Peter for our wedding was the best decision we made. As a start, Peter is very professional, available, open to suggestions and eager to collaborate (and trust me this is not always the case for wedding providers). He arrived early and very autonomously made sure everything worked well sound wise. He then played music for dinner, a mix of old school jazzy crowd favorites, and everybody loved it. He was on point with the volume, any musical cue we needed and every activity we had planed. But the best, the absolute best and favorite moment of the wedding was the party. Peter rocked an epic party that kept our crowd on the dancefloor until the wee hours! Boys, girls, family members of every age! He was very open to requests and made our guests feel super involved, but mainly played the best hits with great transition. So although we spent tons of money on food, decors and other wedding things, that's all our guests would talk about the next day!!! All that to say, having him turned our wedding into an epic bash we will never forget. Thank you so much Peter, we highly highly highly highly recommend you!!!

We hired mixjockey productions for our wedding in May 2024. From the beginning they where extremely attentive to our needs and answered all of our questions and concerns. The music was impressive considering they played a wide range for all ages, as well as taking guests requests and keeping everyone on the dance floor.

The MC was not shy and extremely dynamic as he encouraged guests participation in all of the games we had planed. Him & the dj worked really well together, you can tell they had many years of experience.

The lighting, fireworks and dry ice we added last minute made the night even that much more magical and we received many compliments from our guests. Also made for some really cool pics.

We highly recommend mixjockey productions to anyone looking for a dj you wont be disappointed. After a year of planning, me and my wife had our dream wedding because of them. A big thank you to the mixjockey team well done!

Excellent service and highly recommend! We had DJ Kirk as Peter was booked already for the day of the wedding. Peter helped us with details and set us up with DJ Kirk who was just as helpful/amazing to work with. They were always responsive and easy to get in touch with. DJ Kirk and persons in charge of the lighting/photo booth were all great. They kept the evening stress free for us as they handled the scheduling of the evening. Kirk even coordinated switching up the schedule for me as I wanted to postpone our first dance to later in the evening the night of. Everything went smoothly and many of the guests complimented us on their services after the wedding and said they had a blast. Thanks again!!
