DJ Canis

The site's own career page reveals that "DJ Canis" is the second of two stage names one person performs under. Ferenc Kertész-Farkas, born in 1986 in Dunaújváros, Hungary, got into DJing in 2008, went self-employed in 2009 and spent more than 10 years working discos, clubs and bars under the name "Curtiss," a house-music alter ego with its own Beatport record label he still runs today. He only built "DJ Canis" as a separate, more wedding-facing identity in early 2022, after a friend asked him to DJ their wedding in 2021 and he decided to specialise. Curtiss's label, Bekool Records, was founded in August 2021 with a first release on 16 September that year, and the site says it has stayed in Beatport's Top 15 charts ever since; before the label came a radio show and podcast under the same Bekool name, running as a show from 2016 to November 2018 and as a podcast from 2019 onward.

That two-names, one-person structure matters for the 7 service regions listed in the site's own navigation, Luzern, St. Gallen, Zürich, Thurgau, Bern, Aargau and Chur: it is the same single Ferenc Kertész-Farkas behind both stage names, working from a home address at Bergliweg 4 in Matzingen, canton Thurgau, and driving out to each of those regions himself rather than dispatching a roster of hired DJs under a shared brand.

On the wedding page itself he lays out what a booking actually covers: music for the reception, the meal, speeches, the opening dance and the party, planned to match the couple's real running order rather than a fixed script. A conversation before the quote settles the date, exact venue, guest count and playing time; the apéro-to-party structure of the day; access, load-in route, power and volume limits; and which speakers, microphone and lighting pieces are actually needed. The gear is specific and repeated identically across every regional page: Pioneer DJ equipment, Audiophony and HK Audio speakers, 17 LED uplights, 2 moving heads, a disco ball and a wireless Shure microphone. His career page adds that he works "exclusively with his own equipment" from what he calls the premium segment. His price guide separately advises couples in general terms to ask a wedding DJ whether a venue's own installed sound system can be used to cut down setup work, framed as a savings tip rather than a description of what he personally prefers to do. Song requests aren't left to chance either: a printed request card lets guests suggest tracks during the party, and he says he works suitable ones into the live mix rather than ignoring them.

The 8-hour package is priced. The other 2 aren't

DJ Canis publishes an actual number for exactly one of his 3 wedding formats. A short booking, 4 to 5 hours covering the party only, gets an individual quote, and so does a full-day booking of 10 to 12 hours that extends coverage back to ceremony music and microphones and runs through to the end of the party. Only the middle option, a standard 8-hour day covering the apéro, dinner and party, which the price guide calls "the classic," has a stated range: CHF 1,300 to 2,200, a figure last updated on 31 July 2026. That price includes the pre-booking conversation, planning, setup and teardown, standard sound and lighting for the dance floor, and travel from Matzingen. Anything beyond that, extra music zones, special microphones or lighting, longer playtime, or a longer drive, gets costed separately and shown in the written quote.

He also publishes his own payment terms: a small deposit locks the date, the balance is invoiced after the wedding, and he notes that cash on the night has become unusual. His FAQ states plainly that couples are expected to feed him, since a wedding often keeps him on site for 8 to 12 hours once travel and setup are counted in, which he calls standard industry practice rather than a special request. One thing worth flagging before you write in: his contact page promises a reply within 48 hours, while a line at the end of his own price guide promises one within 24. Both are printed on the live site as of this reading, so ask which one actually applies when you send your enquiry.

7 regions on the nav, one appearance list that skips St. Gallen

The St. Gallen page markets him as the Ostschweiz specialist, naming the Lokremise, Hotel Einstein and outdoor events in Teufen as settings he knows and can adapt a set to. His separate career page, which lists public past appearances by region, tells a narrower story. It names 9 venues in Zürich and the surrounding area, including Widder Garage and Schloss Greifensee, 4 in Basel and the northwest, including Hotel Kettenbrücke in Aarau, 3 around Lucerne, including Chateau Gütsch, 1 in the Bern region, Trinkhalle in Interlaken, and a bucket the site itself labels "Graubünden & Ost" naming Kurhaus Bergün, the Hotel and Restaurant Alpina in Schiers, an event barn in Hefenhofen and a tavern in Osterfingen. Nothing on that list is filed under St. Gallen itself, even though St. Gallen has its own dedicated landing page in the main navigation. The Chur regional page carries the same Graubünden entries cross-referenced against its own appearance list; the St. Gallen page carries no equivalent line at all.

That gap doesn't mean he hasn't worked in St. Gallen. His own disclaimer on the regional pages is explicit that the listed service areas describe where he'll travel to, not a record of where he's already played. What it does mean is that a couple booking through the St. Gallen page is buying travel coverage and stated familiarity with the region's venues, not a documented St. Gallen track record, which the site itself never claims.

Everything on the site, including that disclaimer, is written in German. There's no English version of any page, the enquiry form, or the FAQ, and nothing on the site states which language he actually works in on the day beyond the German copy itself. For a couple planning a wedding in Switzerland who don't read German, that's worth confirming directly before booking rather than assuming it from the 7-region reach. A wide travel radius on a German-only site is not the same claim as English-language service.

27 reviews, and the name behind DJ Canis keeps coming up

His Google reviews page shows 27 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, spanning weddings, corporate events and private parties, current enough that one dated 25 August 2026 describes a corporate booking for around 130 guests. What stands out reading several together is how often the reviewers use his actual first name rather than the stage one. "Feri ist super sympathisch," reads one. "Feri hat mit seiner sympathischen und professionellen Art unser Fest glänzend begleitet," reads another. A third calls him "sehr zuverlässig" and says he "antwortet rasch," answers quickly. One newlywed couple's review lands on a phrase a second reviewer echoes almost word for word: let him just get on with it. That reads consistent with a solo operator comfortable making calls on the floor rather than working from a rigid setlist, and it lines up with how he pitches the format in his own price guide: nonstop music with no breaks, able to shift genre on request through the night.

He's also candid about where a DJ alone isn't the right fit. His own DJ-versus-band comparison, published in that same price guide, recommends pairing a live band or singer for the ceremony and apéro with a DJ like himself for the party, rather than assuming one act should cover both. It closes its equipment rundown with a joke that a couple isn't hiring a spec sheet: nobody expects a driver to show up to a race in a hatchback. It's a small, self-aware touch on a site that otherwise reads as straightforward small-business marketing, and it fits an operator who answers enquiries himself rather than routing them through an agency.

What DJ Canis turns out to be, once the stage name is unpacked, is a single Hungarian-born, Thurgau-based DJ with a documented decade-plus in clubs before he ever played a wedding, a working house-music label on the side under a different name, and a wedding pitch built around a pre-event conversation rather than a fixed package. Couples get one person's judgment on the night, priced clearly for the standard 8-hour slot and quoted individually for anything shorter or longer, in German only. That's a narrower promise than an agency's roster, and, going by how his own reviewers write about him, exactly what keeps people asking for him by his first name.
