Including the extras

DJs from Maximum Music set up and run a sound check one hour prior to your wedding’s official start time. This hour is not billed for but treated as an extra measure to make sure the night goes as planned.

Your music can include music for both the ceremony and reception, cocktail hour, or dinner music – essentially anything you need at no additional cost.

What brides and grooms want

If you ask anyone at Maximum Music what type of event they love to play for most, they’ll likely answer quickly – “Weddings.” Rod says it’s because it’s fun and because we get to make people happy and be part of a celebration. All of our DJs love doing weddings. The wedding dance brings the widest variety of people together.”

If you’ve ever spoken with a past bride or groom of Maximum Music or looked through their portfolio of references, it sounds like the feeling is mutual. Couples already seem to know and love the Maximum Music name, and from what we can tell, there are a lot of really great reasons why…

The Library: Maximum Music offers a large library of fully licensed songs including both Canadian and multicultural playlists. Every Maximum DJ brings this database of tunes with them to each event.

The DJ: Rod says you can count on their DJs being professional – they dress for the occasion, they control the volume (keeping it loud enough for dancing yet not so loud that it discourages conversation) and they don’t use the mic unless it’s appropriate. “Our main job is to play the music. We don’t tell jokes or lead conga lines. We won’t overstep the line of professionalism with inappropriate comments or conduct at the risk of embarrassing you, guests, or Maximum Music. Our DJs show enthusiasm, take and play requests, and do their best to stimulate a fun-filled evening of music and dancing.”

The Knowledge: Rod considers it the mission of his company and their DJs to offer a selection of music that will appeal to all musical tastes, and more importantly, to know which music selections are appropriate to play at which times. They recognize that the wedding dance is the single longest event of the day. Rod says that’s why the entire team at Maximum considers it their personal responsibility to offer great music and great service all under one roof.

The Equipment: Rod says that all Maximum Music equipment is state-of-the-art, as is the necessity in the DJ business. Maximum Music doesn’t focus on the techno-style bells and whistles. They say that fancy lights and fog aren’t always appropriate, which is why they leave that decision in the hands of their couples. Their real focus is on offering a fun wedding dance that engages all of your guests.

Walking you through it…

To get started, couples can call or email Maximum for wedding date availability. You will speak with Rod who handles your booking and will be happy to hear from you any time. Email or phone is recommended to make sure that enough time is set aside to help you with your questions and music plans. You can reach out to Maximum Music via Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter!

All couples are given access to Maximum Music’s online music planning tools, as well as their online database of wedding music suggestions, wedding planning blogs, and more.

A lot of the music planning, including selecting your playlist, can be done online as well. If you need a little guidance, Maximum staff can also act as music tutors if you want an outside perspective – giving advice on choices, and helping you with the ‘banned list’. They also offer a knowledge base of planning tips and advice on their website and social media channels, drawing from their experience providing music to over 10,000 weddings.

“They had lots of freedom with the choices of music. You could completely handpick the song list, or simply choose a category for them to play from…It was great to hand them a list prior to our wedding with song choices and information, and not have to worry on our wedding day.” – Stacey and Kirt Lebe

The Maximum Music team will contact you to run through and recap all of your last-minute details and make sure everyone is on the same page. Rod says it’s a smooth process because it’s one that they’ve been refining over the course of the Thirty + years they’ve been in business. Every step is designed to ensure you get great music with minimum stress on your part. And if at any point from booking up to the wedding you have any questions, you have access to Maximum Music by phone and email.

Rod says that at your wedding, you’ll have a professional, reliable DJ who knows how to run the evening’s music smoothly and who won’t overstep his or her bounds. He or she will know what to play and when to play it.
