Beats Per Minute

Last reviewed: September 30, 2026. Business status: Active.

Beats Per Minute is a wedding DJ in Windsor Ontario offering reception music, announcements, planning consultations and several upgrade options. The company’s official website identifies DJ Gordon Patrick with the wedding service and says Beats Per Minute has provided music for weddings and special events across Windsor and Essex County.

The official wedding page publishes six package levels, beginning with a $950 Standard package and extending to a $2,750 Fairytale package. Because some upgrade details are presented in a compact comparison layout, couples should ask for a written proposal that clearly matches every inclusion to the selected package. This profile was last reviewed on September 30, 2026.

Services and specialization

Beats Per Minute presents itself as a disc jockey service for weddings and other special events. Its wedding offering centres on music for the cocktail hour, dinner and dance portion of a reception. The Standard package includes seven hours of music, stated as 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., along with cocktail and dinner music.

The Standard package also lists a sound system for events of up to 250 guests, a cordless microphone, introductions and announcements, two consultations, access to an online wedding planner and emcee duties if required. The official page says these Standard items apply to all package levels.

Higher package levels display production and entertainment features such as ceremony setup and music, LED effects, a colour-changing DJ booth, intelligent moving heads with a hazer, an additional sound system, elevated lighting, party props, confetti, glow tubes and sparkle fountains. The page also mentions a second DJ, assistant or photographer within its comparison area, but couples should verify precisely which package includes each feature.

• Reception music covering cocktail, dinner and dance periods
• Introductions, announcements and optional emcee duties
• Consultations and access to an online wedding planner
• Package-dependent lighting, sound and special-effect options

Service area and who it may suit

The official home page places the business in Windsor, Ontario, and describes past work across Windsor and Essex County. No broader travel area or travel-fee policy is stated in the supplied evidence, so couples planning outside that area should confirm whether service is available at their venue and whether transportation or setup charges apply.

The documented package structure may suit couples who want reception DJ coverage with announcements and planning support included. It may also be relevant to weddings considering lighting or visual upgrades, since several tiers add production features beyond the base sound and music service.

Guest-count planning matters when comparing the options. The wedding Standard package specifies a sound system for up to 250 guests. Couples should not assume that the same setup is appropriate for a larger room, an outdoor venue or a wedding with more than 250 attendees without discussing the venue and technical requirements directly.

• Officially described area: Windsor and Essex County
• Base wedding sound system is listed for up to 250 guests
• Suitability outside the stated region requires direct confirmation

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the amount of detail published for the Standard wedding package. Couples can see the stated performance period, core sound equipment, microphone, announcements, consultations, planning-tool access and possible emcee support before making an enquiry. The site also provides named package tiers for comparing different production levels.

There are practical limits to what can be established from the published pages. The compact package chart does not make every feature-to-tier relationship equally clear in extracted text. It also does not provide contract terms, deposit requirements, cancellation conditions, overtime rates, travel fees, equipment backup procedures or availability for a particular date.

The wedding page is headed DJ Gordon Patrick, while the site footer lists Gord Raymond as the contact. Couples should confirm the contracting business name, who will perform at the wedding and who will be the principal contact. This is a clarification point rather than evidence of a service problem.

• Detailed base-package inclusions are published
• Multiple upgrade tiers and production features are displayed
• Contract, deposit, cancellation and overtime terms are not shown in the supplied pages
• The assigned performer and primary contact should be confirmed in writing

Pricing

The official wedding page publishes the Standard package at $950. It lists Classic at $1,250, Imagine at $1,450, Celebration at $1,650, Dream at $1,950 and Fairytale at $2,750. The page states that the Standard package items apply to all packages.

These figures are the prices displayed on the official page at the time of review, but the supplied page text does not specify taxes, deposit amounts, travel charges, overtime, venue-related costs or whether every displayed special effect is available at every venue. Couples should request a dated quote rather than treating the webpage alone as a final contract.

A separate prom page also publishes prices, but those are prom packages and should not be used to estimate wedding costs. Wedding comparisons should rely on the dedicated wedding page and a written proposal tailored to the event.

• Standard: $950
• Classic: $1,250
• Imagine: $1,450
• Celebration: $1,650
• Dream: $1,950
• Fairytale: $2,750

Contact and booking

The official site lists 1903 Olive Rd in Windsor, Ontario, the telephone number 519.791.5993 and the email address gordon@beatsperminute.ca. Its wedding page includes a consultation-request form asking for a name, email address, phone number and message.

Before booking, couples can provide the wedding date, venue, estimated attendance, ceremony and reception schedule, desired music coverage and any requested lighting or effects. They should ask for a written package summary showing the agreed hours, equipment, setup timing, staffing, fees and payment schedule.

The site links to wedding forms, but the supplied evidence shows that the forms page is password-protected. Couples may therefore need to obtain access instructions after beginning the consultation process.

• Phone: 519.791.5993
• Email shown on the official site: gordon@beatsperminute.ca
• Consultation requests can be submitted through the official wedding page
• Wedding planning forms are password-protected

What couples should confirm

Ask which package features apply to the chosen tier, especially ceremony audio, lighting fixtures, haze, confetti, glow tubes, sparkle fountains and any second staff member. Venues can impose restrictions on haze, confetti, spark effects, power use, ceiling rigging and setup access, so approval should be obtained before those elements are included in a plan.

Confirm the exact performance hours and the cost of extending them beyond the stated 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. Standard schedule. Couples should also establish when setup and teardown occur, whether ceremony coverage requires a separate location or sound system, and what happens if the ceremony or reception runs late.

Finally, verify the assigned DJ, emcee responsibilities, music-request process, do-not-play preferences, guest-count requirements and backup arrangements. A complete agreement should identify all taxes and extra charges, the deposit and balance deadlines, cancellation or postponement terms, and the equipment and personnel committed to the wedding.
