We had an AMAZING time at our wedding, as did our friends. We could not have pulled off such an amazing party without Scott and Stamos. Everything was perfect. I would highly recommend True North DJ Services to ANYONE having a wedding in Halifax, or Nova Scotia for that matter!

We hired True North DJ Services for my father's 75th birthday party. It was a pleasure doing business with them and their preofessionalism is top notch! Ian did a wonderful job!! He had a really tough crowd from small kids to the elderly, so he ceratinly had to mix things up! He was very nice and accomodated all our requests. The guests commented on how great and friendly he was. I will certainly recommend your company to anyone looking for DJ services in the metro area! Well done guys!

These guys were great. Scott was so kind and helpful, got what we wanted and conveyed that message to Dave, our DJ for the night. Everyone had a great time, the music was perfect. The lighting they set up really set the atmosphere and helped the decor so much!

I give these guys credit for creating a perfect night!

Highly recommended!

True North D.J's did an amazing job at our wedding. There were more people on the dance floor than off and although my feet and legs were cramping and hurt like hell I could not leave the dance floor for fear of missing a song. The mixes were perfect, people had a wicked time. This was the exact vision I had and True North NAILED IT!!!! Do not hesitate to book with these guys, you will be glad you did!!

Scott made our wedding day easy and carefree! They provided our music for our outside ceremony and kept our guest entertained during cocktail hour. When we returned and were ready to start the party he was ready to go with our song selections as well! Absolutely superb service! I would highly recommend True North to anyone!

We were so impressed that Scott got back to us so promptly when we came looking for a Dj just 6 weeks before our wedding.
At the event Scott was spirited, yet professional. Read the crowd well, listened to our wishes and played songs we'd requested and made a point of connecting with us at the end of the night. We'd reccomend him in a heartbeat...and will.

True North DJ's were impeccable from start to finish. We met with Scott before our wedding, and he was professional, kind, easy to get along with, and extremely helpful. The DJ for our wedding, "Moose", was fantastic, and kept the dance floor full all night! He was very receptive to the many requests we had made throughout the night.
I would recommend this company to anyone.

The only reason I posted a 4 was because he didn't have our first song so it took a while to download it and get it hooked to the system, and we didnt do the garter toss.... which we were supposed to have.

I believe we found True North DJ by looking through various Halifax DJs websites and trying to find someone who could give us a six hour long dance for a reasonable price. These guys charged as much for that much music as some companies did for only three hours. So, that was the hook for me.

We met with Scott about ten months before the wedding so he could get a feel for the sort of atmosphere we wanted. We were super vague, yet he was still able to figure us out. He told us he doesn't play the chicken dance, but my bride-to-be insisted and he reluctantly told us that if the bride wants the chicken dance, that would be the only way he'd play it.

Scott was fun to talk to and meet with, but also had a very professional manner. You are given a contract, bill of sale, and receipts. With many other services we dealt with on our wedding day (limo, reception hall, etc.), we weren't given these things, and it was a big relief to know that these guys know what they are doing on the business aspects and it gave you a secure feeling that, yes, these guys will show up on time and play for as long as they are supposed to.

On the wedding day, we actually had Jody come out to be our DJ for the evening. He came over to chat us up during dinner and try to get a feel for what to play as well. We had about a half an hour lull between the end of eating and before the dance started, and people were starting to get kind of bored, and Jody started playing some light music just to set-up the mood. This is something we hadn't originally asked for because we didn't think it was necessary, but it totally was. Jody read the mood of the crowd perfectly and I think it helped to keep a lot of people from filtering out.

The first dance started at seven, and we had asked previously that we wanted guests to join us half way through the song. We had chosen "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison, which is actually a short song. But, Jody, who must have set this up before hand, made the announcement for everyone to join us, then seamlessly looped the song to make it stretch out longer. The bride didn't notice at all! It was great!

We had booked the dance for six hours because we really just wanted a big party for the reception. Things were a little rough at the start, since it was still early, the reception hall was still a little bright from daylight, and to be honest, people probably hadn't drunk enough yet to not be too shy. But, Jody went through a big range of music, from country to top 40 to classic rock to get people on the floor. Eventually, some beautiful combination of the sun setting, flowing booze, and great music got people to dance.

Jody was very accommodating to requests. The bride would walk up to the table, shout a song title (or just mime the chicken dance), then he'd give a thumbs up and it would be on within three minutes. He played anything we requested, no matter how bizarre it may have seemed to him. If he's wondering, Rage Against the Machine is a very old and very dear inside joke to us!

I guess I could sum up the experience with something my cousin told me during the fifth hour of our reception: "I hate your DJ. He doesn't let me stop dancing."

It was awesome. I have no complaints, and you guys went above and beyond my expectations. Every guest we talked to - the kids, our aunts and uncles, and our friends - said it was one of the most fun wedding receptions they had every been to and True North was a huge part of it. Thank you very much!

Scott was awesome. We had a great meeting with him a week before the wedding and knew from there we were in good hands.

We had a small wedding but the dance floor almost always had people on it. The numbers dwindled as the night wore on but the people who were into it were still enthusiastically shaking it (ourselves included) and that was all that mattered to us. He really understood what music the crowd was into and played a lot of that.

The only thing we weren't 100 per cent happy with was that Scott didn't play as much of the ethnic music we provided him with as we'd hoped. I'm guessing this might have been because he was trying to keep as many people on the dance floor as possible but we think there are some members of our families who would've appreciated hearing some tunes they were familiar with.

Overall, though, Scott was great and we'd hire him again!

Scott at True North DJ's provided the perfect atmosphere for our wedding day. He provided his equipment and music at both our ceremony and reception sites, and did an excellent job.

Scott met with us prior to our wedding day, and went through what both the bride and I wanted in terms of music for our day. He was able to work both of our different tastes of music throughout the day, and did so wonderfully!!

Scott's choice of music during the dance portion of our reception was perfect. He was able to read the crowd very well, and had people up dancing all evening. I couldn't say enough good things about his music choices! Everyone in attendance had a great time!!

I also appreciated the positioning and layout of his equipment. The speakers were positioned around the dance floor so that the music was loud and bass was beating in the dance floor area, but it was at a lower volume in other sections of the room so that guests not wanting to dance could easily converse with each other without having to leave the room.

Scott did a great job with announcements that we requested he make. He did so in a professional yet relaxed manner. He didn't try to be a comedian or very vocal DJ throughout the evening - just played music like we wanted.

From our interactions with Scott, you can tell that he truly enjoys being a DJ and entertaining his guests. He seemed to put his heart and soul into his music, and actually cared about what he was doing. DJ'ing isn't just something he is doing to make a couple extra bucks on the side - he seems to be truly passionate about his services.

Overall, we were VERY happy with True North DJ services. We couldn't have had a better DJ, and attribute a large portion of the success and enjoyment our guests had at our reception to Scott. We HIGHLY recommend True North DJ Service to anyone needing a DJ.

Well done and Thank You!!
Jason.
