Great DJ with a large collection

Great experience for our wedding! On time at 2 separate locations, setup was perfect, and dealt with some delays on our end without any issues. Great experience and would definitely recommend! All of our requests songs were correct and available.

Professional, experienced, and keeps the dance floor alive all night

We hired James for our wedding at the Manitoba Club. He was very flexible when we had to cancel our wedding social and move our wedding one year due to COVID. James takes into consideration the songs you want to hear, and also has an amazing playlist of his own that keeps the dance floor going all night. There were songs for everyone, and he did a really great job with announcements and had a lot of fun with the bouquet toss and garter toss. James understands music is what people want to hear and wasn't on the mic the whole night which we appreciated - dancing was none stop as a result. Also, don't miss out on the lights - they're affordable and James knows what is needed for different venues. He literally goes on his own to the venue to look around and determine what is needed on his own time. The lights are so fun and transformed our venue when it was time to party. During the dinner we had a nice soft white, and then vibrant colours shining up in the windows that changed along with the beat of the song in the evening. We will recommend James to anyone looking for a DJ. Great communication, quick responder, and he cares about his reputation which shows in how well he shows up for his clients. He loves what he does, and that's why he is the best in the city.

Amazing experience

James was fantastic! We hired him before covid and has changed our date multiple times and each time James was more than accommodating with date changes and always making himself available when we had any questions or concerns and even made himself available during our rehearsal to meet up with us and go over ever step! He knew what to play and when and definitely went over and beyond for us. I would highly recommend james!

Talented DJ and a Crowd pleaser!

We met James on referral from a family member who experienced his skills first hand at a wedding social she attended. She said “You need to call this guy, He’s really amazing”.. So we did…. And… SHE WAS RIGHT!
We called James and he invited us to come met him and watch him DJ at a local venue. We could tell right away that he was the right DJ for us.
We hired him for both our social and our wedding. He made the entertainment part completely stress free every step of the way.
For the wedding social we had a 50’s theme for St. Patrick’s Day and we had a choreographed Jive dance with a particular mash up song we gave him ahead of time. James was right on Que with our dance and did an amazing job creating the play list for the rest of the night.
We had comments all night long on how great he was with engaging with the crowed and getting everyone up on there feet. He also took care of the announcements for silent auction portion through out the night he did an amazing job in building up the prizes to get more ticket sales. He really had everyone fully engaged and excited come draw time.
For the wedding, we had met with him a couple times in advance to go over the itinerary. We gave him our song list for the ceremony and bride and groom dance. We were very particular on what songs we wanted played and again, he was right on Que.
For the reception portion of the night, we had provided him with a list of songs we wanted to hear through out the night and he did an exceptional job a mixing them into a play-list he created.
James is very talented DJ and an amazing crowed pleaser. We are so happy to have had him for both our wedding and our social. We defiantly recommend him for any event.

Best Wedding Social Ever.

Our wedding social was in October 2016, people are still talking about how great the music was. James had the dance floor packed the entire night, he knows how to read the crowd. The party was lit!

James was easy to work with: responsive, on time and had great recommendations for lighting, music and set up. James has been in the game for quite a while, and it definitely shows. I'd say he's probably one of the best in the city, and you won't be disappointed if he's your dance hall quarterback.

Simply amazing!

We had the absolute privilege of having James Dj our wedding social, from the very beginning stages of reaching out to him he was very friendly, responsive and informative! He went above and beyond to ensure our event went exactly as we wished! Showed up early for setup, tested everything, then came back for the main event, dressed professionally ! Let me tell you, James had the dance floor PACKED all night long, literally until the lights came on at the end of the night! The sound was amazing, not muffled or echoey, he knew exactly which equipment he needed for that specific room to make it sound perfect! He had also done something I’ve personally never seen at a social before, he projected music videos for all the songs he played throughout the night! We had so many compliments from our guests on this and his service as a whole.

We have James booked for our wedding June 22nd and could not be more thrilled to have him DJ for us again!

Highly Highly Recommend!! Do not sleep on booking James Falk!

The best to do it

We hired James for our Halloween-themed wedding social last October (2023). We would never even consider going with another DJ after hiring James. We’ve been to enough socials and bars to know the typical bare-minimum, lacklustre effort a lot of DJs put in to events. The DJ brings life to the party, so you need them to be EXCELLENT, and James is just that. Not only does he know exactly what music to play and how to tailor it to your theme or desire, he creates a whole atmosphere with lights, TVs, and even smoke machines — all of which he provides and sets up and takes down himself. He is a very experienced emcee and knows what should be announced and when to announce it. You don’t have to do or worry about anything, James does it all, and he takes his contribution to the success of your event seriously and personally. Plus he is just a great and amicable guy to work with. Needless to say we’ve hired him for our wedding as well. Thanks Falk!!

James Falk
James Falk
Owner / Sales / DJ / Lighting Engineer

I possess an outstanding knowledge of all genres of music, evidenced thru my years of experience as Music Director for the largest background music provider in central Canada. I'm known to command audiences with my unique ability to be in sync with any crowd as I am well known to "specialize in everything."

I've studied both practical piano & music theory with Canada's Royal Conservatory achieving 1st Class Honours, which I apply in my practice as a highly skilled technical DJ. I have placed as high as 2nd in Canada in competition against my peers.

My role in Winnipeg's entertainment industry includes original resident DJ status at every major nightclub since the early 90's. These include Mondetta World Café, Boogie Nights Cabaret, Cowboy's Roadhouse, Whiskey Dixx, TYC Event Centre & Nashville's Event Centre & attest to my musical diversity & penchant for creating highly successful music concepts with uniquely inspired themes.

Manitoba's largest events have had me perform as both the DJ & Lighting Designer, including CSA "Commerce Socials", Winnipeg Art Gallery "Art & Soul" fundraisers, Octoberfest & Folklarama.

I excel at music database management, embedding highly useful meta-tags into music files. Every chart hit in the Billboard era is contained. 150 fields of data allow me to create playlists for any event, often in moments. This system is currently in use throughout much of central Canada's best hotels, nightclubs, lounges & restaurants.

Most recently Canad Inns concept change which turned their "nightclubs" into "event centres" has me at TYC Event Centre playing elite level events as well as at Nashville's Event Centre as DJ & lighting engineer for major concerts as well as wedding receptions & socials.

I am also a highly successful mobile DJ, with over 1000 wedding receptions to my credit. In addition, I have contributed lighting/audio installation & music consulting services to 1000's more. I may very well have played more events than any other DJ in Canada over my career.
