Giant Heart Events

Last reviewed: October 6, 2026. Business status: Active.

Giant Heart Events is a Thunder Bay wedding DJ business offering reception music, professional sound and lighting, uplighting and collaborative planning tools. Its official website also presents ceremony sound, a DSLR selfie station and other optional enhancements. This profile was last reviewed on October 6, 2026, using the company’s current wedding, pricing and contact pages.

The business uses one signature wedding offering rather than several tiered packages. Its website emphasizes customized music and a structured planning process supported by the Vibo app. Couples can use the published details as a starting point, but should still request a written quote that accounts for their venue, schedule, selected enhancements and any requirements not addressed on the public pages.

Services and specialization

Giant Heart Events describes its principal wedding service as reception DJ entertainment. The signature offering combines curated music with modern DJ furniture, professional sound and lighting equipment, uplighting and access to the Vibo planning app. Couples can provide music preferences and must-play selections, while the app supports timeline planning, song selection and guest song requests.

Ceremony sound is not included in the reception-focused signature offering and is presented as an optional enhancement. The published enhancement list also includes a DSLR Selfie Station with backdrop, an attendant for that station, a live ceremony singer, monogram projection and larger-scale audio production. These options allow couples to consider related entertainment and production services through the same business, subject to a confirmed quote.

• Reception DJ service with customized music planning
• Professional sound, lighting and uplighting setup
• Vibo planning app for timelines and music selections
• Optional ceremony sound and live ceremony singer
• Optional DSLR Selfie Station, attendant and backdrop
• Optional monogram projection and big audio production

Planning process

The company publishes a five-stage wedding process. It begins with a consultation that may take place by phone, text, email, video chat or in person. After that discussion, the company sends an invoice and contract; the official wedding page states that a 30% deposit is required to secure the date.

Planning then continues through the Vibo app, where the couple can assemble a timeline, select music and invite guests to contribute song requests. Giant Heart Events says final details are confirmed two weeks before the wedding. This documented workflow gives couples useful milestones, although the responsibilities, deadlines and revision terms should be checked in the current contract.

• Initial consultation about the couple’s vision and must-haves
• Invoice and contract issued after the consultation
• A 30% deposit is stated as the requirement to secure the date
• Final details are scheduled to be confirmed two weeks before the wedding

Service area and who it may suit

The official homepage identifies Giant Heart Events with wedding and private-event DJ and photo booth services in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The supplied pages do not publish a detailed travel radius or a list of communities served outside Thunder Bay, so couples planning elsewhere in Northwestern Ontario should ask whether travel is available and whether it changes the quote.

The service may suit couples seeking a reception DJ package that already includes lighting, uplighting and a digital planning tool. It may also be relevant when ceremony audio or a selfie station is wanted as an add-on. Couples seeking a highly itemized base package, extensive production for a large venue or services beyond those listed should discuss a custom scope before booking.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the amount of service and price information available on the official website. The signature offering identifies its main equipment and planning components, while several enhancements have individual prices. The company also sets out its consultation, deposit, planning and final-confirmation stages, giving couples a concrete framework for an initial comparison.

There are still practical limits to what can be established online. No clean postal business address appears in the supplied official pages. The pages also do not specify reception coverage hours, overtime rates, travel fees, backup staffing, venue-specific power requirements or whether taxes are included in the displayed prices. These are missing public details rather than evidence of a service problem.

• Confirmed feature: published signature-offering inclusions
• Confirmed feature: prices shown for several optional enhancements
• Confirmed feature: collaborative timeline and music planning through Vibo
• Limitation: no official postal address is published in the supplied evidence
• Limitation: travel boundaries and event-hour limits are not stated

Pricing

The official pricing page lists the signature offering at $2,750. It includes reception DJ services, modern DJ furniture, uplighting, professional sound and lighting equipment, and the Vibo planning app. The wedding page describes the offering as starting at $2,750, so couples should confirm the final amount for their date, venue and schedule.

Published optional prices are $550 for ceremony sound, $600 for a DSLR Selfie Station with backdrop, $50 per hour for a Selfie Station attendant, $750 for a live ceremony singer and $300 for monogram projection. Big Audio Production requires a quote. The page also lists shags at $1,500. Because inclusions and prices can change, the signed proposal should establish the applicable total.

• Signature wedding offering: $2,750
• Ceremony Sound: $550
• DSLR Selfie Station with Backdrop: $600
• Selfie Station Attendant: $50 per hour
• Live Ceremony Singer: $750
• Monogram Projection: $300

• Shags: $1,500

Contact and booking

The official website directs DJ inquiries to its contact form and also publishes booking@giantheartevents.ca and (807) 476-7463. The phone number is presented for calls or texts. Couples can begin by asking whether their date and venue are available, then arrange the initial consultation described in the company’s process.

A date is not secured simply by making an inquiry. According to the wedding page, the company provides an invoice and contract after the meeting and requires a 30% deposit to lock in the wedding date. Couples should retain the executed agreement and payment record and ensure that all selected services, performance times and enhancement prices appear in writing.

• Phone or text: (807) 476-7463
• Email: booking@giantheartevents.ca
• Online inquiries: official contact form
• Published booking requirement: contract, invoice and 30% deposit

What couples should confirm

Before signing, ask for a current written proposal tied to the venue and event schedule. Confirm the DJ’s arrival, setup, reception start and end times; overtime terms; requested announcements or emcee duties; and what equipment is supplied for each space. Ceremony sound should be listed separately if needed because the website treats it as an enhancement rather than part of the reception offering.

Couples should also confirm availability, travel charges, taxes, cancellation and rescheduling terms, backup plans for equipment or personnel, venue access requirements and liability-insurance documentation if the venue requests it. For the Selfie Station, verify operating hours, attendant coverage, backdrop choices, delivery format and space or power needs. The contract should resolve any difference between the published base price and the final quote.

• Exact service hours, setup window and overtime rate
• Travel availability and fees outside Thunder Bay
• Whether taxes or venue-related costs are additional
• Ceremony and reception equipment for separate locations
• Cancellation, rescheduling and backup provisions
• Final Selfie Station inclusions and operating time
