About Emshab

Emshab is the Farsi word for tonight: the night, the one that matters. It is not a metaphor we reached for. It is what the business is.

01 / The name

The name

امشبemshab — means tonight. The name is Persian; the DJ is not. It describes the night the work is built around, not the DJ’s background or the language of the service.

We named the company after it because everything we do is in service of one night. The rig, the run sheet, the rider filed with the venue, the spare microphone nobody will ever see: all of it exists so that one evening goes the way the people paying for it imagined.

02 / One accountable crew

What we do

DJ, live musicians, sound, lighting, staging, drape and projection, for weddings, corporate galas, fashion shows, private parties and club nights across Toronto and the GTA. We specialise in mixed weddings: two families and musical traditions shaped into one celebration. Persian and Iranian weddings are a major part of that work.

We own our equipment. Every speaker, fixture, stand, cable and case that arrives at your venue belongs to us, went out last weekend, and came back to the same shop. Nothing is rented in on the morning and nothing is subcontracted to a DJ you have never met.

DJ Dynamite has been behind the booth since 1995. Emshab Entertainment was formed in 2002.

03 / What you see is what arrives

A note about the photographs

The photographs on our Toronto pages are our own work, from events we ran, showing equipment we own. None of it is supplier stock and none of it is somebody else's rig, and every setup you see there can be reproduced for your event, because it is ours. The Alanya pages deliberately use diagrams and field notes until a verified local shoot is available; Toronto work is never presented as Türkiye work.

This matters more than it sounds. Plenty of event suppliers illustrate their sites with manufacturer photography or images from productions they had no part in. When you book from those photographs you are booking an idea, not a rig.

04 / The operating principles

How we work

The visible part is the party. The invisible part is the standard.

  1. Fixed price in writing before you book. If we underestimated the venue, that is our problem.
  2. The person you meet runs your night. In the contract, not just in conversation.
  3. A rider filed with your venue covering power, load-in, elevator timing, crew and insurance.
  4. $2M liability, certificate to your venue the same day it is asked for.
  5. A spare for everything that can fail. Failures happen. The room should not find out.
  6. Complete strike. We leave the room the way we found it, which is why venues recommend us.

05 / Clear communication

Service language

DJ services, planning calls and event communication are provided in English. The Farsi pages on this website are translations for convenience; they do not indicate that the DJ speaks Farsi or provides Farsi-language MC services.

06 / One name, two operations

Two cities

YYZ / Canada

Toronto

Every speaker, light and cable on site is ours, operated by the same crew you planned with.

AYT / Türkiye

Alanya

Destination weddings, hotel and beach-club nights and corporate groups, with local production inventory.

Explore Alanya

Emshab works Toronto and it works Alanya, on the Turkish Riviera in Antalya Province. Two operations under one brand: destination weddings, hotel and beach-club nights and corporate groups on that coast, and the same run of show we have been running in the GTA for years.

The name turned out to travel. Iran was the fourth-largest source of visitors to Türkiye in 2025 and Antalya is one of the two places most of them go, which makes a Farsi word for a wedding company an asset there rather than a Toronto quirk. There is a فارسی section for that market.

The two are honestly different in one respect and we say so on the Alanya pages instead of letting the word "our" do quiet work across a border: in Toronto every speaker, light and cable on site is ours. In Alanya the production inventory is local, because Türkiye runs a different electrical system and shipping a Canadian rig there would be worse for the client. The full explanation is here.
