2J’s Music Machine

Last reviewed: August 8, 2026. Business status: Active.

2J's Music Machine Ottawa wedding DJ services focus primarily on wedding receptions, with optional ceremony sound and music support. The company’s current official website identifies weddings as its main focus and describes a planning process that continues from pre-reception preparation through the last dance. Its website also profiles DJs Steve Bourguignon and Leo Moses.

This profile summarizes only details documented on the company’s official website. Current public pricing, a street address, precise travel boundaries and guaranteed package inclusions are not published, so couples should obtain a written quotation for their date and venue.

Services and specialization

2J's Music Machine specializes in wedding DJ entertainment and reception planning. The official site describes customized wedding arrangements rather than a single standard package. Potential requirements mentioned on its packages page include extended performance hours, multiple sound systems, lighting, lapel microphones, wireless microphones and travel.

Ceremony service is also available. The company says it can provide a smaller portable sound system, wireless lapel microphones, background music and ceremony music. It notes that a microphone attached to the officiant will usually also capture the couple’s vows. Ceremony service may carry an additional fee, so it should be specified separately in the quotation.

For reception planning, couples can submit details through an online planning form. The site also says the assigned DJ speaks and meets with the couple approximately four to six weeks before the reception, including assistance with specialty-song choices and the order of events.

• Wedding reception DJ entertainment
• Custom reception planning through an online form
• Optional ceremony sound, microphones and music
• Potential options such as lighting, additional sound systems and extended hours

Service area and who it may suit

The official website positions 2J's Music Machine as an Ottawa wedding DJ service. However, it does not publish a definitive list of municipalities, a travel radius or travel-fee boundaries. Couples planning outside Ottawa should provide the exact venue address and ask whether travel or accommodation charges apply.

Based on its documented services, the company may suit couples who want reception music combined with advance planning and the option to add ceremony audio. It may also be relevant where separate sound systems or wireless microphones are needed, although equipment quantities and venue coverage must be confirmed for each event.

The site does not currently confirm bilingual MC service. Couples who require English-and-French announcements, culturally specific music programming or formal MC duties should ask whether an appropriately matched DJ is available before booking.

Planning process and DJ team

The company’s planning page explains that couples can use an online reception form to provide their schedule and preferences. It says this planner can be modified and is intended to prepare the DJ for the event’s sequence. Approximately four to six weeks before the reception, the couple is expected to speak and meet with the DJ assigned to the wedding.

The official team page profiles Steve Bourguignon and Leo Moses. Steve says he began working with 2J's more than 20 years ago, later took over the company and has concentrated mainly on weddings during the past decade. Leo’s profile describes previous DJ work in the Caribbean and on cruise ships before continuing his work in Canada.

The site does not promise that either named DJ will be available for every date. Couples should have the contract identify the assigned performer, their MC responsibilities and the process for any substitution.

• Online reception-planning form
• Meeting with the assigned DJ about four to six weeks before the reception
• Two DJs currently profiled on the official team page

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented operational features include advance planning, a meeting with the assigned DJ, optional ceremony audio and responsibility for setup time. The company states that setup time is not charged separately. Its About page also says its equipment is backed up, the business is fully insured and backup DJs are on call for emergencies or illness.

Those are concrete preparedness features, but several practical details remain unpublished. The website does not specify insurance limits, the exact backup equipment carried to each event, standard performance hours, music-request rules or included lighting. Its homepage says the business has more than 20 years of experience, but experience alone does not establish suitability for a particular venue or wedding style.

Couples should therefore compare the written proposal with their venue’s sound restrictions, access times, power availability and microphone needs.

• Confirmed: backed-up equipment and backup DJs on call
• Confirmed: the company states that it is fully insured
• Limitation: detailed package inclusions and equipment inventories are not published
• Limitation: bilingual service and precise travel coverage are not confirmed

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official packages page explains that each event receives an exact quotation based on its requirements rather than a fixed public rate.

Factors the company says can affect a quotation include extended hours, multiple sound systems, lapel or wireless microphones, lighting and extensive travel. Ceremony service may also involve an additional fee. The same page states that setup time is the company’s responsibility and is not charged as extra setup time.

For a useful comparison with other proposals, couples should request an itemized total covering performance hours, ceremony and reception systems, microphones, lighting, travel, taxes, overtime, deposits and cancellation terms. Any service mentioned on the website should still be treated as optional unless it appears in the signed agreement.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

• Custom quotation required
• No public starting price or package total
• Additional ceremony fees may apply
• Setup time is stated not to incur an extra charge

Contact and booking

Couples can visit the official website at https://www.twojs.ca/ or call 613-445-8000. The website repeatedly links to an online “Check Our Availability” form for submitting event information and requesting a custom quotation.

No clean postal address is published on the current official pages reviewed, so this profile does not reproduce the address from the legacy listing or third-party directories. Couples should confirm the legal business name, mailing address and payment details directly before sending a deposit.

An availability enquiry should include the wedding date, venue, ceremony and reception locations, expected schedule, access constraints, estimated guest count and requested sound or lighting options.

What couples should confirm

Before signing, ask for a written scope that distinguishes ceremony, cocktail-hour, dinner and dancing coverage. If the ceremony is in another space, confirm how many systems and microphones are included, whether battery power is available and when sound checks will occur.

Confirm the assigned DJ and whether MC duties are included. Discuss must-play and do-not-play preferences, guest requests, pronunciation of names, special dances and the timing of speeches. Couples needing bilingual announcements or specialized cultural programming should obtain explicit confirmation rather than relying on older listing information.

Finally, verify the total price, taxes, deposit and balance schedule, overtime rate, travel charges, cancellation terms, insurance documentation, backup plan and venue requirements. Ask whether the proposed equipment is appropriate for the room and guest count.
