    Extremely Satisfied - DJ James rocked!

    Elliott responded to our request right away and DJ James was amazing. Kept the dance floor packed the entire night and we couldn't be happier with choosing Hot Wax Entertainment for our wedding. We had multiple guests ask us where we found the DJ and would recommend them to anyone looking for a DJ for their upcoming wedding/event.

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Paul & Tess,
    Thank you so much for your 5 ⭐️ review!
    Happy to hear everybody enjoyed themselves at your wedding reception at the Vancouver Rowing Club.
    We are definitely lucky to have such an amazing DJ in James and hopefully we will cross paths at a future event.
    All the best as Mr & Mrs!!

    Fantastic!

    We are so happy we chose Hot Wax for our wedding! The entire process was so organized and smooth and the whole team was just a pleasure to work with. We had so much fun and danced the night away!

    Our DJ, DJ Paul was FANTASTIC! What an excellent choice! He truly made our night memorable. We had many guests mention how great the music and the DJ were, and there were many people (including myself and my husband!) dancing till the very end. Many thanks to DJ Paul, to Elliott and the whole Hot Wax team for your outstanding work!

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Wow!, thank you so much for your 5 ⭐️ review!

    We are extremely happy to hear that you, your families and invited guests had an amazing evening!

    When you have fun, we have fun.

    Paul loves what he does and looks forward to each reception, to work with our clients and produce an event that people will talk about weeks, months, even years later!
    Wishing you both all the best as Mr. and Mrs.

    Thank you Elliot, Mike, and Keith!

    The Gig Bar and Photobooth were a huge hit at our wedding. Mike did an exceptional job DJ'ing, and Keith was a huge help manning the photobooth. The music selection was 10/10, setup/take down were fast, and we received many compliments from our guests towards them both.

    Thank you Elliot for responding to our inquiries so quickly and making our wedding awesome!

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Paul,
    Thank you for your 5 star review, and for including Hot Wax on your BIG day.
    Glad you liked the New Gig Bar lighting system, it is quite the show!
    Mike and Keith had a great time at your event, your guests were awesome!, in the Photo Booth and on the dance floor!!
    Hope to cross paths with you at future events.
    Wishing you both all the best as Mr & Mrs!

    Could not have asked for anything more! Elliott was responsive from the start. Always answering emails in a timely manner and was quick to be flexible with any unique ideas or changes we had. Our DJ, Paul, was amazing! He read the room so well. He was great at announcements and checked in on us throughout the night. They were so easy going and everything was seamless.

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Tiffany,

    Wedding DJ July 2024

    We had a blast listening to the dinner music and dancing to Mike’s set all night! Everyone had a great time on the dance floor. It was a pleasure working with Elliot and Mike. Quick and easy to communicate with, very professional, and they were open to song requests. We will definitely recommend Hot Wax Entertainment to our friends and family!

    Great service from both the DJ and the owner

    We couldn't be happier with the service we got from Hot Wax. Elliott was more than happy to talk with us over the phone multiple times to explain the entire process to us, as well as give us advice for the decisions we were less confident about. He as also very quick to respond via email for every little question we had. Our DJ Paul was very efficient and accommodating, even helping the bride and her friends put on a special a cappella performance during the reception. I'd highly recommend Hot Wax to anyone.

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Mike & Steph,
    Thank you for trusting us with your Dj entertainment and for your 5 star review.
    Happy to hear everyone had fun and danced the night away. We love what we do and seeing ppl enjoy the music is fantastic.
    All the best as Mr & Mrs!

    Wedding DJ

    We hired Hotwax as our wedding DJ and it was the best decision we made! Elliott (owner) was extremely helpful and had a rapid response rate, helping to coordinate the event details painlessly. DJ James was absolutely fantastic on the day of the wedding and all of the music played during the wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception went seamlessly. James was taking requests through the entire night and helped create a fantastic dance party that lasted through the entire evening. Cannot thank Hotwax enough!!

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Isabella for your praise and great review of our service and DJ James! We also think he's fantastic! We strive for a rapid response rate as this is all we do (so no excuses!).
    Thank you to both you and Craig for choosing Hot Wax Entertainment. You were a delight to work with.
    We wish you all the best as Mr. & Mrs.!

    Fantastic - responsive, flexible, professional

    We got married at the UBC Boathouse and Hot Wax was one of a few endorsed DJs. After working with them, it is no surprise why they are endorsed by so many venues and are hired for so many events. When you hire Hot Wax, you get Elliott (the founder), who despite having been in the business for over 38 years, is still one of the most responsive, flexible, and friendly vendors we worked with. His email response time is lightning quick! This ongoing commitment to quality and customer service is likely one of the reasons why Hot Wax has been so successful. Elliott's professionalism and commitment to ensuring your event is perfect trickles down the organization. Hot Wax is a leader in DJ services for a reason. They are not a company that has taken their foot off the gas after seeing success; they strive for excellence and we are so glad we went with them. On the day of, we had DJ Chuck, who was friendly, responsive, and flexible. We had a few older guests who were sensitive to sound as well as children, who had unique song requests. He worked with us in making everyone happy (and threw in "I like to move it" from Madagascar for my 3.5 year old niece). I can't speak highly enough of Elliott, DJ Chuck, and the Hot Wax Team. I highly recommend them for anyone getting married.

    Hot Wax Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Derin for this glowing 5 star review! We are very grateful that you took the time out to acknowledge our work and share your experience. We are also honored that you chose Hot Wax for the entertainment portion of your wedding reception as we know you had several options available. We believe our service starts from the first phone call and ends when the last guest leaves the dance floor. We love our Team!
    Wishing you all the best as Mr. & Mrs.!
