DJ Paul Entertainment - Wedding DJ | Uplighting

g dinner. Just the right volume. We also worked with DJ Paul to come up with ideas to ensure my mother and grandmother could hear well at the reception--they both have significant hearing loss. This is certainly hard to do as it requires announcements and speeches to be louder and music to be a little softer. We added an additional speaker and placed it right by their seat. My mom was able to fully enjoy the reception with 130 people because of this! The music for the reception was great! We had an amazing party and many guests made comments about how amazing our DJ was! You won't go wrong with DJ Paul.

w much he cares about each wedding. When we met two weeks before our wedding, Paul did an excellent job listening to our ideas, offering suggestions, and helping fill in the blanks that we wouldn't be aware of since we aren't in the wedding industry. We came to DJ Paul with a set list of certain songs we wanted, and song themes. He did an amazing job fitting in all of the songs, pulling out some song gems that fit our theme, and kept our guests happy and entertained. During the day of the event, DJ Paul immediately noticed a disconnect between the venue and all of the vendors, and he took it upon himself to solve the issues without involving me so me and my groom could truly enjoy the evening. During the event, DJ Paul did an amazing job keeping the event moving, chiming in when necessary and getting the crowd fired up, but also knowing when to let the music speak for itself. What made DJ Paul be the star of the night, was his ability to be empathetic and pivot based on the events of the night. Initially, we weren't going to do a father/daughter & mother/son dance because my father is sick and may not have been in attendance. My dad was able to make it to the event, and was able to, with very little planning or notice, reorganize the schedule of reception events, seamlessly play the song my dad wanted to dance to, find a song for the mother/son dance, and handled it with such class, allowing my dad to maintain his dignity. It's a moment I'll remember all of my life, and it's all due to DJ Paul. I highly recommend DJ Paul for you event; not only will you have someone who will provide a meaningful soundtrack for your day, but you'll get to work with a professional who genuinely cares about his couples and makes sure their day is one to remember.

eally took the pressure off! Beyond his accommodations, DJ Paul was so prepared I almost felt he was more on top of things than I was, while I was planning my own wedding! He responded to emails in minutes, guided us through a lot of the logistical details to prepare for a smooth wedding, and thoroughly reviewed our prep packages. The DJ is a make or break investment for a wedding - we have been to weddings where the entire reception is ruined by mispronounced names, lack of proper announcements for the reception events like cake cutting, and music that doesn’t get people dancing. With DJ Paul, we had no concerns about the wedding event. The day of the wedding went amazingly smoothly - DJ Paul kept the dance floor completely full with parents, young kids, and everyone in between. We gave almost no guidance for the playlist we wanted, but DJ Paul was able to play music that appealed to everyone and kept the energy up the entire event. We had even more people than we expected up and dancing - so much so that we moved the sweetheart table to accommodate everyone! Many guests commented that he was the best DJ they remembered from any wedding they had been to. Even months later, the amazing flow and music that DJ Paul provided for our wedding is still a topic of conversation in our family. Hiring DJ Paul made our postponement to our postponed wedding the best night we could have hoped for! We would choose him all over again.

h you, very thoroughly. He truly is there for you and wants to please you in any way he can. If you're looking for a GREAT TIME and NONSTOP PARTY, DJ Paul is your guy.

along as well. Extremely professional and organized in the lead up to the event and on the day itself. Great price. Highly recommended. Choose DJ Paul for your event!

with us BEFORE any changes or succumbing to other people's requests. Not to mention, his pricing is totally reasonable! Thank you DJ Paul!

the only one that guaranteed a replacement if our DJ got sick (which is incredibly important given COVID). We were able to book fairly quickly and easily, and submitted our online wedding questionnaire. DJ Paul provided many lists of most-requested songs for each portion of the wedding, which was really helpful. Our assigned DJ was Felix, and he was having trouble reading the submitted PDF questionnaire so we ended up retyping everything into a Word document (his own template) for him. This included YouTube links for every song so he would know which version to use, phonetic pronunciations of every name, and a very detailed schedule for the day. We had a Zoom meeting to go over everything as well, so we thought we were on the same page. He was patient about all of our many questions, and was so gracious about having to set up a wireless sound system in the woods for the ceremony and then having an entirely second setup for the separate cocktail hour and reception locations. The day of the wedding, though, he arrived after he was supposed to start playing without any advanced notice. He played the bridal processional song for the entire wedding party processionals. There was a flower man as well, and though he played the correct song for that processional he started playing it when the guy was halfway down the aisle. During the reception he played the wrong artist for all of our song choices, and mispronounced everyone's names - one of the groomsmen didn't even get introduced at all. For our first song he played the wrong artist so we went with it, but about halfway through he realized his mistake and starting playing the correct version - as in, he just abruptly stopped the one song and started playing the correct song. He told us that he was going to have an assistant, but he didn't bring one so there were a couple times that he left the booth unattended - like when he was in the middle of calling tables for food, so the groom had to call the next set of tables because we couldn't find Felix anywhere. There were a couple times when he was MC-ing that he clearly had no idea what was going on, so there were some really long, awkward pauses while we waited for him to figure it out. The photographer had a copy of our schedule and kept us on track because Felix was not paying attention at all. The next morning when we were cleaning up we found some cups on the ground behind the DJ booth (which was very far away from any other tables) that had been used for sangria - I don't know if it was Felix or not, but I would like to think that vendors would not be drinking alcohol while working, and more importantly I would like to think that vendors would be better than leaving trash on the ground for other people to clean up. The music selection was great though once we opened up for dancing! Overall we got what we were expecting given that we booked with someone at the last minute. I'm sure that DJ Paul has other DJs that align closer to his ratings, but Felix was not great by any means.

o start planning my own. DJ Paul Entertainment had both the availability and price tag I was looking for. Mike quickly reached out and helped me outline the entire schedule for the day of. I was taken back by the amount of experience and recommendations he willing shared. Mike and I developed a friendship over just a few phone calls, building the trust every bride needs on their wedding day!

d everyone dancing from NO JOKE beginning to end, which ranged from oldies to new hits as well as hip hop, r&b, punk, pop, rock, latino, dance, and EDM. We had a very diverse group of wedding guests - different ethnicities from all over the country and a wide range of age groups - who were all impressed with Paul. He was able to play all of our must haves in addition to taking requests from our guests and even gave us glowsticks for when we were ready to turn up! He was very professional, responsive and flexible while caring about every detail of our big day. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect outcome on such an important portion of our wedding. Thank you SO SO much, DJ Paul!!

gued with me in front of my guests when I confronted him to turn off the unwanted music. There were quite a few songs he did not play that we wanted to play. The foam glow sticks that were in our package were not given to our guests or even presented. However, once Paul saw that I was upset about what had happened, he made sure I stayed on the dance floor and even went past the event time to make sure I enjoyed myself.

and helped us plan the schedule, the floor layout, everything. He was so generous with his expertise to make sure our plan was in place weeks ahead of time and could make all our lives easier. The day of went off without a hitch and all our guests had a great time on the dance floor. I would recommend DJ Paul Entertainment to any couple!

dance song. I contacted Paul in advance and we were able to work on the specifics and everything went off perfectly. He let me plug in my guitar to his mixer and turned our dance song on just as we had rehearsed it. Prior to the actual performance, he was kind enough to ask me if I had any requests for him to play during the evening, which I appreciated, but respectfully declined in deference to the bride and groom who already had worked painstakingly hard to create a set list for all their guests.

blast, but he was immensely helpful, supportive, friendly, communicative and flexible throughout the whole planning process. He had many hour long calls with my husband planning. He worked to create the exact musical soundtrack we envisioned and our wedding would not have been complete without him. He even worked to pull off a surprise musical performance with from my dad. We can’t thank you enough Paul!

o many reviews of various people and within 5 minutes of speaking with Paul on the phone I KNEW he was who I wanted. He was extremely responsive and thorough in ensuring every detail was exactly as I wanted it. I decided to leave most of the dancing music up to him (I had only had a handle of songs on the do not play list) and he did not disappoint. We were all dancing until the very end and had an absolute BLAST. There were so many guests who commented on how amazing he was, asking me how I was able to find someone so good. There were also many people who I never in a million years expected to be on the dance floor who had the time of their lives dancing, and I credit that to Paul. He truly evaluates the room and energy with different songs and chooses the next songs based on that. It was not a generic DJ with just a list of popular songs to play - Paul truly plays to the crowd and THAT is what makes him so great!!! We cannot thank him enough for all the hard work to make our day absolutely perfect! THANK YOU

hnical aspects that we had not even thought of, which demonstrates his experience in the business. DJ Paul did our sound and music for the ceremony, which went GREAT.  We were always confident that he would bring the party during our reception, and he did not disappoint! He spent all night pumping up the crowd and getting everyone on the dance floor as we wished! We are extremely happy with DJ Paul and his service. We would very highly recommend him. Thank you for everything DJ Paul :)

ng and made everything run very smoothly. As the bride, I really didn't realize what a struggle he'd been through till a couple people mentioned they felt sorry that he had to wipe down al his equipment. That was quite admirable. I am grateful for all his hard work and glad that he worked so hard to make our day phenomenal. My only gripe is that the lead-up process was technologically a bit cumbersome with the forms and everything. It might be helpful if he found some other format for submitting all of our information. But in the end, my wedding was fantastic, and that's what matters.

that she'll remember for the rest of her life.

work out perfectly. Our guests loved him and so did we. Highly recommend using him for your wedding or event!

rtant moments. However, his ability to em-cee was a little underwhelming as he seemed disorganized. We had spelled out our arrangement with him in our contract and a DJ Press Kit he had us fill out, and the week before our wedding it didn't seem like he had reviewed it prior to our meeting. In that meeting we had discussed the logistics of our reception and we thought everything was clear, but the day of we had to scramble to make adjustments because he didn't have it correctly set up for what we had talked about. Other vendors also expressed that he complained a lot behind the scenes and was a little difficult to work with. Again, the music at my wedding was GREAT, but the moments of stress that were directly due to the DJ could have been avoided if he were more on top of it. Maybe he was having a bad day?

nd Paul for anyone planning a wedding!

the wedding to review special songs my husband and I wanted played throughout the wedding. We couldn’t have been any more pleased with how our wedding music turned out. We would highly recommend him!

er. He stuck with us throughout the entire process and was always responsive to our needs. He has many years of experience and it shows, from the stylish booth setup, to the top notch equipment, and extras like lightening to enhance the ballroom decor & atmosphere. I also enjoyed our post wedding questionnaire consultation to make sure that everything was done to our specifications. He played snippets of the music for the important wedding moments to make sure that the correct version(s) of our chosen music played: as opposed to a cover song or the incorrect version. I would definitely recommend his services - you will not be disappointed!

ance floor. DJ Paul was so easy to work with. He listened to our wants and delivered on every single one of them. The Shoelywed game is a must!! He exceed our expectations and we couldn’t be happier. We recommend him enthusiastically!

loor perfectly and keep our wedding reception going nonstop. My aunt never stopped dancing the whole night. My uncle danced like the was no tomorrow and has been telling everyone it was the wedding of the century! My only regret is we don't have more parties to book him for. DJ Paul will certainly be recommended to all of our friends and family in the area looking for a DJ.

essional and thorough. My fiancé and I are pretty indecisive at times and Dj Paul came through with the most amazing set list. Due to COVID we had to cut our guest list way down and we aren’t really party animals, so we worried we might not need his services for the full 8 hours. Turns out it was needless worrying cause he kept the party going and we literally danced the entire night. He really did a wonderful job and we highly recommend him.

atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

p with a good idea or song. We even had to change our venue two weeks before the wedding and DJ Paul just went with the flow! I chose to sing down the aisle & pre-recorded a song of myself singing in case I got emotional and DJ Paul was both supportive and helpful with this! The sound quality turned out amazing and all of our guests were touched and excited to be apart of that experience- which would’ve never happened without DJ Paul! When it came to our reception, DJ Paul moved through our schedule smoothly and kept the dance floor grooving! Everyone had a blast and I dont think anyone stopped dancing for very long! We cannot say enough great things about our experience with DJ Paul and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a GREAT DJ!! 12/10 !! Book him now if you want to have the most fun party ever at your reception!!

ng world during Covid. We would highly recommend him for any event!

nd a huge help. It’s obvious that he really knows weddings and obvious that he loves what he does.

amiliar with all types of genres of music whether it be R&B, throwbacks, pop, hip-hop, dancehall, New Orleans bounce music, Jersey or Baltimore club music, gogo, you name it, he’s got it. If he doesn’t have it, he will get the music you’re looking for. He gives great advice to make your wedding run smoothly. I would recommend DJ Paul to anyone.

h performance during the wedding and reception, and met a special need for our family by doing a memorial for a family member who passed away right before the wedding. The music was wonderful, the sound was fantastic, and Paul kept the wedding guests entertained throughout the reception. It was miraculous how Paul worked through all the contingencies required for a COVID wedding, with so many guests on hand. We highly recommend Paul as a DJ for a wedding for your special family member 😊. Thank you Paul for a job very well done 👍

allowing requests or toasts. He had worked with the hotel before and the catering staff had only positive things to day about past performances. At the actual wedding, Joe was very flexible with last-minute changes and did an outstanding job. Many asked me who I used, and I passed on my top recommendation for DJ Paul and Joe DeSantis. If you are reading this, look no farther - you found the best DJ for your event.

he bride), which he stated to basically everyone at the event, including the owner of the venue. This was extremely upsetting. He also interrupted my photo session with my husband to tell us that WE needed to get his truck out. Of note, multiple people told him prior to him driving his van into the grass that they would help him so he didn’t have to do that, and that it was probably not a good idea due to the ground being soft. He also did not come prepared to fully set his equipment up, asking for help from the bridal party and groom to set up tables for him. Overall, the fact that I as the bride was blamed for his unfortunate accident in the mud (which I found out during the reception, he never approached me about it) forces me to rate as 2/5. His unprofessionalism was the only hiccup on our otherwise perfect day, but to me, it was a big one.

llowed). If you are looking for someone who truly enjoys the work that they do and the service that they are providing, look no further than DJ Paul!

glow sticks he provided throughout the night. They were SO FUN! We had an interracial wedding and a broad range of age groups.. but somehow Paul managed to find music that everyone loved! Everyone was on the dance floor.. including our elderly guests! Our photographer even said that DJ Paul was the best DJ she’s EVER worked with.

t, he was very professional, pleasant, and fun! He kept the dance floor alive all night long and did a great job reading the crowd. I highly recommend his services.

prepared and professional and ensured that the night could continue as best as possible. What could have been a disaster, turned out to be the party of the summer. We cannot recommend DJ Paul enough!

ng for a great DJ.

nt the party to end. They just kept saying how good the music was and how much fun they were having on the dance floor. DJ Paul was highly professional and responsive during the entire booking process. He asked us a lot of important questions to tailor his services to our event. He was consistent in making sure that the night would run smoothly and worked over a timeline with us as well as did multiple check ins. I cannot thank DJ Paul enough for how amazing he made our night. You could not fit another person on the dance floor. Everyone was having the time of their life. I will recommend DJ Paul to anyone who's having a wedding in the future, or any other event where they're looking for a DJ. He went above and beyond for us and will absolutely use him again in the future. Thank you so much DJ Paul for making our wedding a night that we'll never forget and for going above and beyond for us!

e requesting music during the reception to keep guests dancing, and totally "went with the flow" when we got off our timeline and changed things up a few times during the reception. We definitely recommend Joe!

e night. The guests even asked for an encore which Paul obliged. Thank you so much, Paul. Best DJ ever.

also energetic that he made most of our guests stand up for dance! Our wedding starts at 4:30 pm, but Paul come very early in the morning and set up all the microphones, up lighting and play music before guests arrived. We really like the music Paul picked and the shoe game questions he made for us! Paul is a great host on this fantastic wedding! I also recommend to use Paul’s uplightening for the wedding, which make our pictures stunning! Paul is a great guy to work with, I strongly recommend to hire him for your big day!

le) song requests, given they weren't on our "black list", and worked them into his mix. He even handled a last minute request to fade out the mother/son dance at a certain time without previous knowledge. By last minute, I mean that while the Father/Daughter dance was ending, I (the groom), shouted to him to fade the next dance at 2:30. I'm sure it wasn't faded right at 2:30, but he chose an excellent point to end it as it felt very smooth and natural. Those are all nice points, but you're really wanting good music when you hire your DJ. Paul was extremely good. The dance floor was full until late into the evening; many guests told us how much fun they had dancing, how great the music was, yada yada. I had a blast, and I hate dancing. We even had him stay an extra hour. His song choice was great and fit our music personalities; he put a lot of effort to understand what we wanted with various conversations and questionnaires he did with us throughout the months leading towards the wedding. From a technical perspective (I spent time running sound, so I appreciate these things), every thing sounded good and transitioned well. The volume was never too high or too low, there was never any feedback on the various microphones used, and the equipment seemed really nice and yielded a nice, party-like atmosphere/sound. TLDR. DJ Paul is an excellent DJ and we would recommend him to anyone who wants a fun reception.

he was meticulous in confirming all of the details including pronouncing some tricky names. DJ Paul did my uplighting which looked amazing and passed out glow sticks. DJ Paul did a great job reading the crowd and taking requests, as evident by the packed dance floor the whole night! Almost 2 months later, I still have people complimenting me on his emcee skills and music selections. I have also already recommended him to friends who are looking for DJs.

ce floor and that was exactly what we wanted!

rything. He made it seem as though we were his main priority. Thank you DJ Paul!

were on the dance floor for the entire set. Seriously. Friends who play in punk bands, my parents, millennials, gen xers, all of them have complimented us on the music selection and said they had so much fun they were surprised when the evening was over. We were curious, but based on the reviews on this site decided to do the Shoelywed Game and it was a ton of fun. A great way to warm up the crowd before the dancing, and our guests loved it (we had a lot of fun with it too). Paul also provided uplighitng for our venue and it looked great. Thanks so much for MC-ing a great reception Paul!

tions with a great mix of songs that kept everyone entertained and on the dance floor all night!

reate the schedule, not just for the reception, but the wedding day too. He was very patient with me and worked with me to include everything I wanted while working his magic of keeping our guests on the dance floor all night long, and keeping us on schedule. My family and I were grateful for his help both before and on the wedding day itself. Hire DJ Paul Entertainment - you won't be disappointed.

o over everything and make sure he knew exactly what the game plan was. At the reception, I have honestly never seen so many people on the dance floor! EVERYONE I talked to afterwards said they all had such FUN! DJ Paul did a great job of catering to every age group with songs, keeping the reception on time, and keeping everyone on the dance floor! We even added uplighting to our package only a few days before the wedding, and he scheduled a FaceTime call, no problem, to go through all of his lighting options. Look no further! You've found the best DJ!

perfect by asking a lot of questions prior to the event, which really puts you at ease on your big day. I am very happy we chose Paul to DJ/Emcee our wedding.

s never empty. We simply did not want the night to end and wished we could have danced all evening. DJ Mike visited the venue with me prior to our event to make sure everything was planned for a successful event. DJ Mike was a pleasure to work with throughout our entire planning process and night of the event. DJ Paul and DJ Mike will be my first call next time I'm planning an event in the Baltimore/DC Region.

aul took requests the day of the wedding and made changes without any issues. I highly recommend Paul as a wedding DJ!

J.

HIT!

your own playlist. We only selected a few sons as "must plays" and Paul did his thing for the rest. The one "special" thing about this experience was the surprise first dance. My bride had no idea, but I had been planning for her sister and brother-in-law to do a surprise performance for our first dance. I worked with Paul and he was happy to help make this a surprise. We actually came to the venue 30 minutes earlier then anticipated that way we could make sure a mic check would be done before guests would start arriving. There were times it might have been midnight and I decided to text Paul because I had a question and he was eager to have a conversation. I really do not have any complaints about Paul. The day of the wedding everything seemed to go smoothly without any issues. The day after the wedding one person came up to me and complimented how organized the DJ seemed to be. Paul was more then a DJ at our wedding, he helped organize the day with his MC skills and let guests know what there was to do and upcoming events. I can be quite a cheapo at times and when I was comparing DJs (pricing and reviews) Paul just seemed to be the best value. When we first started to talk we were probably on the phone for around at hour getting to know each other and learning about the services Paul provides. I knew after that phone call our wedding would be in good hands with him. Paul is a DJ who really does care about your event and wants your special day to be great. I am very pleased with DJ Paul and would recommend him to any of my friends.

e dance floor packed. His uplighting transformed the room. The guests raved that they could not remember a more fun evening. We are forever grateful and will never forget DJ Paul.

rofessional. I would highly recommend him to anyone that is looking for dj services for their next event.

ng the crowd, reacting to the crowd and playing the music that they got into to. He really helped make it a wonderful party, and we both would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

even more to the night. I can not thank Paul enough for giving us the reception of our dreams

Dom had the whole party dancing all night. I highly recommend DJ Dom from DJ Paul Entertainment!!!!

iety, his choices of music, everything was perfect. The man knows what he’s doing and he is EXTREMELY helpful. He suggested things we didn’t even think about to make everything go smoothly. Highly recommended! Thanks Mike!

(which is a miracle) after dinner with fun music that all ages enjoyed! The "shoely wed" game was a blast (definitely do the shoely wed game!!!), and glow sticks really helped get people in the mood for fun, too :) We had no idea how to keep our guests entertained or even what order things should take place (we've been to very few weddings), and DJ Dom walked us through what the wedding day would be like and the timing of dances and cake cutting, etc. It was so helpful, and made it easier for us to coordinate with our other vendors. Before we started the reception he checked in with me, and was fine with pushing the start time back because I really needed some time to catch my breath. Basically, It was great having DJ Dom because he was so chill, and was all about ensuring we were taken care of while still keeping our guests entertained. tl;dr DJ Dom will make your wedding fun- your guests will love your wedding! Also, if you have no idea what you're doing, he will give you a timeline for your wedding day that will put you at ease, and make your wedding planning waaay easier.
