DJ Shawn Hurd is a Peterborough wedding DJ and MC serving celebrations across Central and Eastern Ontario. His official website identifies him as a full-time wedding DJ since 2004, with DJ experience beginning in 1997.

The business positions its work around wedding music, event flow and MC support, with a request-a-quote route for couples who want to discuss their date and plans. Current published package prices were not found on the official pages reviewed.

Services and specialization

DJ Shawn Hurd offers wedding DJ and MC services. The official site describes music planning and music requests as part of the service, and says couples can choose from their favourites. It also presents wedding packages, lighting and upgrades, and ceremony-related content in its navigation.

The site’s wedding material describes attention to the sequence of the day, including coordinating announcements with the caterer’s readiness. It also promotes uplighting as a way to create atmosphere. Details of what is included in each package, equipment specifications and setup requirements should be confirmed directly with Shawn.

Experience and event approach

On the official homepage, Shawn says he has been a DJ since 1997 and has worked weddings full time since 2004. The site also describes radio experience and states that he uses clean, legal music.

His published approach is practical as well as musical: he describes monitoring the room, managing transitions and being prepared for small unexpected moments. These are descriptions from the business’s own site, not independent performance assessments.

Service area and who it may suit

DJ Shawn Hurd states that he serves Central and Eastern Ontario. The official footer specifically names Peterborough, Lakefield, Cobourg, Lindsay, Newcastle, Port Hope, Trenton, Belleville, Smiths Falls, Perth and Kingston, followed by “& More.”

This may suit couples planning a wedding in Peterborough or another listed community who want one provider for DJ and MC duties. For locations outside the named communities, ask whether travel is available and whether travel, timing or venue access affects the quote.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the combination of wedding DJ and MC services, alongside a stated focus on managing event details and announcements. The site also documents wedding packages and lighting/upgrades, giving couples several service areas to discuss in one enquiry.

Practical limitations are mostly evidence gaps. The official material reviewed does not publish a complete package-inclusions list, a public availability calendar, travel terms, equipment inventory or backup-policy details. These are appropriate booking questions, not negatives about the business.

Pricing

Current pricing is not explicitly published. The official website invites couples to request a quote, but the reviewed pages did not list package prices, starting rates, deposits, payment schedules, overtime fees or travel charges.

Ask for a written quote that identifies the selected package, hours of service, MC scope, lighting choices, travel costs, taxes, deposit and cancellation or rescheduling terms. That will make comparisons with other Ontario wedding DJs more straightforward.

Contact and booking

The official site lists 705-761-4880 and djshawnhurd@gmail.com, and it includes a request-a-quote option. It says it is booking 2027 and remaining 2026 dates, but availability can change; contact the business directly to verify a particular wedding date.

When reaching out, provide the venue or community, date, approximate guest count, ceremony and reception timing, and whether you need MC support or lighting. These details will help the business prepare a relevant quote.

What couples should confirm

Before booking, confirm the selected package and the exact role Shawn will have at the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance. It is also useful to clarify how requests are gathered, whether any songs are excluded, and how announcements and timelines are coordinated with the venue and caterer.

Ask for the current contract, liability-insurance documentation if your venue requires it, cancellation and rescheduling terms, arrival and teardown timing, power and space needs, and the plan for technical issues. The official pages reviewed do not provide all of these operational details.
