Homemade Jam! DJ

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

Homemade Jam! DJ is a Peterborough Ontario wedding DJ service operated by Terry and Gerri Humphries. The official website presents them as a husband-and-wife DJ/MC duo offering reception music, event coordination and planning support, with ceremony audio, photo booths, lighting, décor and officiant services available separately or as add-ons.

Last reviewed August 8, 2026. The profile is marked Active because the confirmed official domain is accessible, identifies Homemade Jam! and the Humphries by name, publishes wedding-specific services and provides a working business phone number. The website does not publish a clean street or mailing address, so no address is shown here.

Services and specialization

The core offering is a wedding-reception DJ package delivered by two DJs who also act as MCs. The official package description includes music for cocktails, dinner and dancing, microphones, ambient uplighting, early setup and a sound check. It also documents event cues, announcements, introductions and coordination with the couple’s other vendors.

Ceremony music can be added. Homemade Jam! says it can play personally selected prelude, processional, registry-signing and recessional music, provide a cordless microphone for the officiant and coordinate musical cues with the wedding party.

• Reception DJ and MC coverage
• Ceremony music and sound-system options
• Cocktail, dinner and dance music
• Microphones, ambient uplighting and backup sound equipment

Reception music and event flow

The official package supports customized must-play, priority-play and do-not-play lists. It also includes guest requests, personally selected special-dance music and custom music for the entrance, dinner and other reception moments. The site says microphone use is kept to a minimum unless announcements or requested activities require it.

Operational support extends beyond playing music: the package lists wedding-day direction, timing, cues, vendor communication and slideshow assistance. Couples should define which coordination tasks are included and which remain with their venue coordinator or planner.

Service area and who it may suit

Homemade Jam! describes itself as based in Peterborough and travelling throughout Ontario. Its stated coverage includes Peterborough, the Kawarthas, Kingston, Belleville, Trenton, Cobourg and surrounding areas, with broader references to Central and Eastern Ontario, Northumberland and Quinte. The website warns that travel expenses may apply outside its service area.

The service may suit couples who want the same two-person team handling DJ and MC duties, or those considering ceremony sound, lighting, décor or a photo booth from one supplier. Venue location, access, power and sound-system requirements should be discussed before relying on a published package.

Planning tools and optional services

Clients are offered online ceremony and reception planning tools and a music-request area. The official site also describes consultations, planning materials and venue or site visits as part of its pre-event process.

Documented optional services include a photo booth, licensed wedding officiant, slideshow equipment, uplighting, dance lighting, monogram projection, room and ceiling draping, head-table backdrops, chandeliers, chair covers and table linens. Availability, specifications and pricing are not published for every add-on.

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

A documented strength is the breadth of the reception package: two DJ/MCs, early setup, a sound check, professional backup equipment, microphones, planning tools and four uplights are expressly listed. The official site also provides structured playlist controls and describes coordination with vendors and the wedding party.

The evidence has practical limits. No official street address is published. The reviewed pages do not provide a current insurance certificate, officiant authorization details, technical equipment list or recent dated confirmation of credentials. Some pages carry older page dates, so couples should confirm that every listed inclusion and price still applies to their wedding year and venue.

Pricing

The official wedding page currently publishes a wedding-reception DJ package at $1,975 and states that a non-refundable $500 reservation fee is required to reserve the date. Listed inclusions include two DJ/MCs, planning tools, reception music, microphones, four uplights, backup equipment and dance music until 1 a.m.

The same page lists ceremony music at $350 when the reception sound system can be used. A separate ceremony system is listed at $450, as is a battery-powered system for a location without electricity. Sound equipment for musicians or an officiant without music service is listed at $250. The page does not specify whether tax is included, and travel may cost extra. Obtain a dated written quote before booking.

Contact and booking

Couples can call 705-772-0741 or use the availability link reached through the official website. The stated process is to check the wedding date, submit the information form and discuss requirements before receiving a quote. A date should not be treated as reserved until the contract and reservation-fee conditions have been completed in writing.

Because the official site publishes no postal address, couples should use the website and confirmed phone number rather than the unverified address from the former directory record.

What couples should confirm

Ask for a proposal tied to the exact venue, date, start and finish times. It should identify every service, system and add-on, along with setup access, power requirements, overtime, travel, tax, payment dates and cancellation or rescheduling terms.

Also confirm who will attend, the division of DJ and MC responsibilities, the ceremony-to-reception equipment plan, backup arrangements, current liability insurance and any venue-required documentation. If booking officiant or planning services, verify the responsible person’s current credentials and the precise scope of those roles.

• Whether the published $1,975 package remains valid for the wedding date
• Whether ceremony, cocktail hour and reception require separate systems
• Travel, tax, overtime and add-on charges
• Current insurance, credentials and venue documentation
• Final playlist, request policy and do-not-play instructions
