FAQ

Summer Saturdays across the Okanagan book 9–18 months in advance. The sooner your date is set, the sooner it's worth checking availability. Last-minute openings do occasionally come up, so it's always worth reaching out regardless of timing.

Yes. Every booking is me — Jordan Tait. There are no substitute DJs, no subcontracting. When you book DJ Spinalshift, you get DJ Spinalshift.

Based in Kelowna, I work across the Okanagan Valley — including Penticton, Vernon, Oliver, Osoyoos, and the surrounding wine country. Travel beyond the region is available on request.

I accept Interac e-transfer and major credit and debit cards. Other payment arrangements may be available upon request.

Planners lean on me heavily — not just for music but for anything technical throughout the day. I show up prepared, communicate clearly, and make their job easier. Many planners across the Okanagan recommend booking me for the full event for exactly this reason.

All-white DJ booth, white column speakers, clean lines, and careful cable management throughout. The setup is designed to integrate with your venue's aesthetic rather than stand out from it. What you see in photos is what shows up on your wedding day.

That's entirely up to you. Some couples love the idea of guests being able to request songs — others prefer the night stay true to their vision without outside input. Either way works, and I'll establish your preference during planning. If requests are welcome, every one gets evaluated in the moment — if it fits the energy and the vibe you've set, it goes in. If it doesn't, it doesn't.

Some things are hard to explain and easier to feel. Venues notice it. Planners notice it. Guests just find themselves on the dance floor without quite knowing how they got there. It's the part of the job that can't be templated — and after hundreds of weddings across the Okanagan, it's the part that comes most naturally.

Yes. Full backup systems are on site at every event. Every layer of the production has a contingency — so if something needs to be addressed, it's handled quietly and the experience continues without interruption.

Absolutely — and I encourage it. Your must-plays and do-not-plays are built directly into the planning system so nothing gets missed. I recommend keeping must-plays to 10–20 songs to leave room for the natural flow of the night, and ask that they're finalized no later than one week before your wedding.

In the unlikely event I'm unable to perform, I will do everything possible to source a qualified replacement of comparable caliber and brief them thoroughly on your event. The specifics are outlined in your contract so expectations are clear from the start.

Yes — I recommend seating guests with hearing sensitivities away from the main speakers and DJ booth. If you have guests who may be affected, flag it during planning and I'll factor it into the floor plan discussion.
