DJ Paul was absolutely phenomenal to work with for our wedding at the United States Naval Academy. He catered to our likes and dislikes when it came to music for our wedding reception and wanted to hear directly from us what we wanted. He didn’t try to take over like some DJs do he made sure we were heard when it came to playlists and all around he was just awesome! The night did not end on the dance floor, DJ Paul kept people out there the entire night and everyone I talked to after my wedding absolutely raved about him. He kept the party going all night long for us. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in this area for their wedding DJ!! Please hire him, you will not be disappointed!

Paul also included in our playlist a mix of songs that got our crowd moving! Super important! Overall, my husband and I were highly satisfied with DJ Paul Entertainment. Please consider! :)

tand exactly the atmosphere that his clients want. The dance floor stays packed from the first song to the last.

He arrives prepared, coordinates seamlessly with the event team, keeps the timeline on track, and adapts quickly to any last-minute changes without missing a beat. He’s respectful of the venue, rules and regulations, and easy to communicate with, and genuinely invested in creating an exceptional guest experience. Tom brings the perfect balance of professionalism, personality, and talent. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, or private celebration, you can trust that your event is in excellent hands.

The music (I know kids gave you some of the play list) was perfect. Bumping. And kept the party going. I have three more boys who hopefully one day get married. I’ll be reaching out brother. You were fantastic and so many people referenced how good you were. Appreciate your energy man. Thanks again for everything. It was perfect

nows exactly how to keep your guests on the dance floor all night long. From reading the crowd to perfectly timing every transition, he created an atmosphere that was fun, seamless, and unforgettable. Our guests absolutely loved him and kept raving about what a phenomenal DJ he was throughout the night! My husband and I chose the Gold Package, which covered absolutely everything needed for a wedding and more! It even included uplighting and a party pack with glow batons and necklaces (which our guests LOVED and definitely added to the energy on the dance floor). Throughout the entire planning process, Paul’s communication was impeccable. He was extremely responsive, organized, and always one step ahead. As a type-A bride, I truly appreciated how reassuring he was, especially when reminding me not to worry if guests didn’t start dancing immediately (he was right…they just needed a little time and some liquid courage!). Paul walked us through the entire day step by step and offered so many helpful suggestions on what works best. He always had a backup plan ready, which ended up being a lifesaver. Our wedding weekend had a HUGE rainstorm, and we had to move our ceremony indoors. I had originally planned a sparkler exit, but with the rain, I wasn’t sure what to do or if we should skip it altogether. When I mentioned just dancing until the end, Paul immediately stepped in with the perfect solution: using the light-up batons for our exit. I hadn’t even thought of that, but it turned out to be exactly what we needed! His quick thinking and confidence completely put my mind at ease. I highly recommend DJ Paul for any event, especially your wedding. He is professional, talented, organized, and truly cares about making your day perfect. We hope to see him at more weddings in the future! Thank you, DJ Paul, for making our day so special and unforgettable, you are worth every single dollar!

Day of went perfectly even when we had a last minute schedule change - he was flexible and accommodating! We were worried about our demographic being a little older but he played all the right songs and kept the atmosphere alive and exciting. I would 1000% recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a professional and down to earth DJ! (Also, funny enough, he was booked for a HUGE event that my company participated in and also executed everything perfectly).

DJ Paul was very responsive in communication. He also pretty unexpectedly threw down. We were mostly looking for someone who was affordable and would stick to our very curated play...

list, which DJ Paul did both of great, but he actually did some sick remixes and transitions that went way harder than you would expect for a wedding DJ. He was only slightly more expensive than the cheapest echelon of DJs, but given the unresponsiveness and the fact that many of them will just send some hired out DJ, I am really happy we went with Paul. It is nice knowing that the person you are planning with and gain confidence in is also the person who will be there on the day.

We chose DJ Paul because from his very first response to our inquiry about his services, he was the ONLY one who wrote back a personal email, as opposed to the numerous form emails...

we received. From the first consultation with Paul, he listened to what we wanted, but also what we didn't want. He was personable and professional. We not only had a DJ, but we gained a friend. DJ Paul's music selection was on point, especially since we had a multi- generational wedding. Dj Paul went above and beyond what he was hired to do when we had some unexpected things happen at our reception. We would absolutely reccomend DJ Pauls services especially if you are looking for a family friendly wedding event. Thank you DJ Paul!

erent artists and for the type of home wedding that we had not all of the music completely fit the vibe which is where DJ Paul came in with his giant music database and fit the music to the feel of the room. He was also incredibly flexible with timing and time frame again because we had more of a relaxed home wedding we only had a general schedule versus a strict schedule and he was able to follow through with everything. He even worked in the amount of walk in songs we wanted for our best friend who was our officiant, the groom, the flower girl and the bride! We even had a guest arrival playlist that was all piano/violin versions of a bunch of super nerdy music and he was able to get all of the songs that we had requested! Overall we had a splendid experience with DJ Paul and would highly recommend him!

The glow sticks were also a hit! I couldn't have had a better DJ experience and would hire him again in a heartbeat. It is clear he takes his job very seriously. His number one goal is getting those guests on the dance floor and keeping them pumping all night. Highly recommend. You won't be disappointed!

He kept the party going and was very energetic! Promoting many in my family who don't dance to get out there and do so! Our wedding was more international and relied heavily on games, and he was more than willing to accommodate and gave us plenty of suggestions and mosted magnificently. His pricing was very fair as well and he made our day incredibly special and something we wouldn't forget. We recommend DJ paul above anyone to DJ at your wedding

One particular detail that really made DJ Paul's service excellent was his MCing. I was looking for a balance of energy to facilitate the night and provide direction for our guests while not over-delivering that energy, and Paul executed this perfectly. I cannot thank DJ Paul enough for working with us and making our wedding a major success. I would happily recommend DJ Paul to anyone planning a large event.

When Paul told us he knew how to keep the dance floor full and the party going he wasn't lying!! I got so many compliments afterwards about how great he was! Sister-in-law said how she wished she had him for her wedding. And my mom knows exactly who to call for my sisters future weddings! Thank you so much Paul for the amazing fun night and looking forward to seeing you again!

DJ Paul did an excellent job with his selection of music throughout the night. We were a very “hands-off” couple and gave him, as the professional, total authority to choose which ...

song suggestions he would accept. We were very happy with this decision and his judgment, as our guests had wide-ranging preferences in music, which would have cleared the dance floor had he accepted certain requests. Although we had previously researched and selected a few songs for the “most-important” moments (e.g., walking down the aisle, father/daughter dance, mother/son dance), we also relied on his recommendations for select moments that we hadn’t considered (e.g., bouquet toss, garter toss, refitting process, etc.), which he had excellent recommendations for. Although our overall experience was positive, there were a few issues: 1. The weather was questionable leading up to the ceremony (expecting only a light sprinkle, if anything). Although we had a rain plan in place to move things inside, we wanted the outdoor ceremony, if possible. Upon learning this, DJ Paul informed our day-of coordinator that it was in his contract that if his equipment gets ruined from the weather, it was the bride and groom’s responsibility to replace it. As a precaution, the coordinator set him up under the overhang (and it didn’t rain, so nothing came from this), but after reviewing our contract, I was unable to locate this “policy,” and personally believe that all vendors should come prepared for potentially inclement weather, especially knowing an outdoor setup was planned. Note: this could be as simple as bringing a tent. 2. Although minor, he did miss the fade on the father/daughter dance and the song seemed to last forever (and even had some guests mention that). 3. We had one artist on our do not play list (Ed Sheeran) and one of his songs was played during the reception. A few guests that knew of this “do not play” request, were very concerned, although we tried not to let it bother us too much. Overall, we had a positive experience with DJ Paul, but as a professional DJ, I would hope these mistakes were one-offs and don’t happen to other couples in the future.

We had the absolute pleasure of hiring DJ Paul for our June 2023 wedding and cannot recommend him enough! From the moment the music started playing until the last beat dropped, Pau...

l transformed our wedding reception into an unforgettable celebration that had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away. Paul showed nothing but patience, professionalism, and attention to detail starting with our initial consultation and continuing through the conclusion of the reception. My husband and I agree that of all the vendors we worked with for our wedding, Paul was by far our favorite because he was so reliable and on top of everything. He shows genuine enthusiasm for his work, which really shone through on our wedding day. He was quick to respond to every email, call, and text leading up to the big day, and he was very thorough and attentive to details during our final meeting, assuring us we were in great hands. And he was incredibly patient and flexible with any and all changes we made throughout the process. What really sets Paul apart from DJs we've seen at other weddings is his charisma and ability to command a crowd. He effortlessly adapted music to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed, and on a Sunday night no less. Many of our guests told us later that they had planned on leaving early to get home at a decent time for work the next day, but they ended up staying through the entire reception because they were having too much fun. We cannot praise Paul enough for giving us a high-energy wedding reception with minimal stress leading up to it. His talent, professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to create a high-energy atmosphere exceeded our expectations. Without a doubt, we wholeheartedly recommend DJ Paul for any occasion.

DJ Paul was the best!! We're so happy he was part of the vendor team for our wedding earlier this month. From the very beginning, he was so communicative, responsive, and organized...

, and we loved how easy he was to talk to about the type of music and vibe we wanted for our big day. He had to do multiple setups because even though our ceremony and reception were at the same venue, the ceremony site itself was a little removed from where our reception was held. But he coordinated flawlessly with our planner, officiant, and ceremony readers to make sure all the audio went off without a hitch in an outdoor tree grove. Once the dancing got started, you could tell he was good at reading the energy in the room and picking the next song accordingly to make sure people stayed energized and on the dance floor all night. We loved working with DJ Paul, and would recommend him to anyone!

Our group was more laid back but DJ Paul made sure that they were engaged from the bridal party entrance to the very end. He is very upbeat and does anything that he can to support...

the wedding/reception as a whole so that the big day runs smoothly! We can’t thank him enough and give him the highest recommendation.

We loved having DJ Paul for our wedding. He was thorough in making sure all of our requested songs were played and denied all of our Do-Not-Play songs. Before the wedding, we had a...

phone call where he made sure each song started/ended at exactly the correct time for all walks down the aisle/first dances/etc. Hid thoroughness made us feel completely at ease leading up to the day of the wedding. We highly recommend him!
