I did not want to hire a DJ... But my mom really wanted one, so she found DJ Paul Young and hired him. This was one of THE BEST decisions made for our wedding!! We had the best wed...
ding. Me and my husband both are not big on dancing, but we ended up dancing the ENTIRE NIGHT. There was not a dull moment on the dance floor. It was AMAZING. He is so much fun. He really listened to the vibe that I wanted. We had easy and unlimited communication throughout the planning process. During the reception he really understood how to go with the flow and lead the party. I don't think we could have done it without him. I am beyond blown away at how much fun everyone had dancing.

Do you want a DJ who keeps the party going and the dance floor full all night?
Then you better call Paul!! He is so incredible from the planning process to the big day!! His playlist was perfect and kept the party ROCKING all night long! Every time I went to take a break from dancing, he played another one of my songs that I couldn't NOT dance to!!
My wedding guests keep reaching out to tell me how awesome he was and how impressed they were!!!
Paul is truly passionate about making your big day PERFECT. He is absolutely amazing!!
If you want to take the stress out of your cetemony and reception, you better call Paul!!!
Best DJ you can find. He crushed our wedding. He had sound systems in two separate rooms for each portion of the night. He played music for the dance based on how the guests were v...
ibing! We have been to quite a few weddings where he has been the DJ, and the music is always amazing! Highly recommend DJ Paul Young for your wedding!
Paul was wonderful to work with for our wedding! He was willing to meet with me as many times as needed to make sure we had everything covered for our reception. He did a great job...
emceeing as well as playing music. He is very detailed and organized, and can definitely go with the flow! I can’t recommend him enough! We had people telling us all night and after our wedding how great he was!
We loved Paul for our October wedding last year! He’s very responsive and accommodating to whatever requests you may have. He’s also an affordable choice. We liked that he’s not fr...
om a big corporate business where you don’t know who is coming for the wedding, you get what you signed up for which is PAUL. He made sure the party was always continuing and all of our guests loved him as well. If you need a DJ for you wedding please go with Paul, you will not regret the decision one bit!
Very easy to work with and affordable
Paul was amazing to work with! He made planning the reception so easy with his music survey. He's so flexible and understanding, even with last minute changes! He arrived early, we...
nt above and beyond for our wedding and kept the dance floor full all night. Highly recommend him!!
I had an incredibly disappointing and frustrating experience with DJ Paul, who we initially hired for our wedding. One of our biggest concerns when we initially hired him was that ...
it was just him, and we worried about what would happen if something went wrong or if he couldn't make it. Paul assured us that he had plenty of friends in the business and guaranteed that no matter what, we would have a DJ for our big day.
However, when Paul unexpectedly backed out on us two weeks before the wedding, it was not even him who had the decency to let us know. It was his wife, who informed us that there was nothing she could do and that all of Paul’s DJ connections were all retired and suggested we try a DJ website instead. This was completely unacceptable and unprofessional.
Not only did Paul break his commitment, but his lack of communication and disregard for our concerns was truly disheartening. It left us scrambling to find a replacement and added unnecessary stress to an already hectic time.
I strongly advise against hiring DJ Paul for any event. His failure to fulfill his promises and his dismissive attitude towards our concerns make him completely untrustworthy for your big day. Look elsewhere for a reliable and professional DJ who will actually follow through on their commitments.
We booked Paul a year and a half before our wedding. He was very open to virtual meetings with my now husband and I along the way. He was quick at getting emails back to me, appear...
ed very well organized, professional and organized. He knew all the questions to ask and brought up things we hadn’t even considered like any songs we didn’t want played or what songs we wanted to do for the dollar dance, etc. there was a scheduling conflict that came up so he did not dj our reception, but the conversations leading up to the event gives me confidence that he would have done a wonderful job! As I said, great communication along the way and super friendly!
Paul is awesome. He is SO responsive, organized, accommodating, and upbeat. When my husband and I reflect on our wedding day, we can't stop talking about how awesome Paul was. He k...
ept things moving along smoothly and kept the energy high. Our dance floor was packed until the place shut down. His high rating is absolutely deserved. We had the best day and night EVER and Paul was a huge part of that!
Paul truly was the DJ we hoped and dreamed for! He was affordable and it helped immensely with our tight budget. He had wonderful ideas and did everything I asked of him. I can’t t...
ell you how many compliments my groom, and I got throughout the evening stating how much of a blast everyone was having! There was very little to no time in which the dance floor was empty. Otherwise he had it full all night long!!!! And to top it off, he threw some karaoke in there towards the end which is quite a thing with my family, because we got a lot of karaoke junkies!! Best night ever! I will never forget it. I am so thankful we found him! I Definitely will be recommending him to EVERYONE looking for a DJ!
WONDERFUL! If I could leave 10 stars I would. It was apparent from the start that Paul takes great pride in his craft. He was prompt in his communication and has an amazing attenti...
on to detail. Not only does he offer an excellent value (he was the least expensive of all the DJs I looked into and had no hidden fees, pricing was straightforward), he did an AMAZING job. Our dance floor was packed all night and I am still getting compliments from people on how much fun they had at our wedding. We may be biased but it was certainly the most fun we have had at any wedding and we danced all night long! At one point, one of my guests said "I keep wanting to take a break but every song is so damn good!" Me and my husband can't rave enough about Paul and will absolutely recommend him hands-down to any of our friends/family who need a DJ in the future. Thanks Paul for being a wonderful vendor at our wedding, we can't thank you enough for the fun memories that will last forever!
Dj Paul Young is amazing to work with! Very chill guy. He really reads the room and plays whatever goes with the flow. He is a must! Glad I was able to book him for our wedding. SO...
BOOK HIM FOR YOURS!
DJ Paul is one of the most amazing people you could ever hope to have be a part of your wedding. He was amazing with communication and explained his whole process to me beforehand,...
offered to let me come see him set up at another wedding to get an idea of what to expect, sent me playlists, questionnaires and song preferences to prepare for my wedding day, and called me the day before to confirm final details prior to my big day. In person he is the kindest, sweetest, and friendliest person and my entire family LOVED him. Not only did he play the most INCREDIBLE music of all time that kept me and my guests on the dance floor throughout the night (and I'm not usually one to partake in a lot of wedding dancing), but he also helped my mom scheme up a flashmob dance the week prior with all of my aunties, and ironically it happened to be to the GREASE soundtrack, which was also ironically the only thing I had requested to hear from him the day before when we discussed final details for my wedding. Not only did he make all of my dreams come true and incorporate the entire GREASE soundtrack, but he organized my mom and and all of the aunties on the dance floor for their flash mob, dedicated two other songs to me throughout the night that involved the guests, and made my wedding the most special, amazing, wonderful, fun and energetic celebration. Paul is amazing to work with, he is absolutely outstanding at his job, and everyone at my wedding and in my family loved him. He is honestly like a ray of sunshine and having him at the wedding just made it perfect. He did a great job MC'ing and introducing me, my wedding party and the speeches, and also did an excellent job helping with dinner and making announcements. He is the best choice you could ever make for your big day, and I recommend him over anyone else. Don't even waste your time looking at anyone else honestly. He is the best of the best at what he does.
Paul was fantastic as our DJ for our wedding. We found him through a recommendation and I can definitely see why! Paul is so passionate about his job and it really helped make the ...
night even better. He was terrific for all of the announcement, introductions, etc. The energy level was great and high the whole night thanks to his mixing. Paul also offers other emcee services such as money dances, glass clinking explanations, and more. His pricing was outstanding and I cannot recommend him enough.
Paul was wonderful! He listened to all of our preferences, was a wonderful mc for everything, and kept people on the dance floor all night. I really liked that he did blocks of mus...
ic. A few classic rock songs in a row, a few boy band songs in a row, etc. it was so fun, we can’t recommend him enough!
Paul was easy to work with, accommodating, and kept the dance floor movin' and groovin' all night long at our wedding reception. His planning guide was very helpful and he provided...
exactly what we wanted at our wedding reception. We felt like our music was personalized to us! He is fantastic at reading the room and has a special eye for detail. He was also very flexible when there were last minute changes. We give nothing but our highest recommendation for Paul's DJ services!
Very professional and had great communication with us throughout the planning process. He played exactly what we wanted and people danced the whole night!
DJ Paul Young was exactly what we were looking for with a wedding DJ. He kept everyone dancing all night and did an amazing job. He is professional, affordable, and well organized....
I gave him a list of various requests for things I wanted to happen throughout the night and he fulfilled every request perfectly. He was able to adjust the timeline as needed and was just really great to work with. I would HIGHLY recommend going with Paul if you are looking for an affordable wedding DJ.
Paul was fantastic for our wedding. He did our ceremony music as well. He was able to get all the generations on the dance floor. He announced what was happening next well so that ...

Paul was an excellent DJ for our wedding. He helped plan songs that were important to us, and played other songs that fit the type of music we wanted. We also had Paul play songs...
that were requested by our guests, which he inserted into the music flow of the evening. Everybody danced and danced. He also led some line dances for us, to get people moving that were afraid to bust their own moves. We received lots of compliments, and he kept the dance floor full all night. We had a great time too, and danced even the very last dance. Thank you Paul!
Paul was super responsive in all communication and very thorough. I loved his list of songs that we can use to help plan the music for our reception and he uses that to get a good ...
idea of our style and to make the music perfect for our big day. He worked hard to make sure the music cued up correctly for our ceremony (we had some important moments where a song had to be started then paused, then started again) and he did that all perfectly. It turns out our crowd wasn’t as big into dancing as we thought but he definitely kept the dance floor going all night! Our timeline got way behind (not his fault) and he was great about trying to help us get it back on track so we could start the dance. I was hesitant to go with him since his price was so affordable but heard excellent reviews and am so glad we went with him!
Paul Young was an amazing DJ and made our July 3rd wedding renewal a day to remember. Even though we live in England the communication was great and we experienced a stress-free d...
ay when we made it back to the US to celebrate with our friends and family. If you want a talented, professional and all around amazing DJ to make your day special we suggest DJ Paul Young for your event!
All the best,
The Rowden's
We hired Paul for our wedding in 2020, due to COVID we had to change our reception date quite a bit throughout the last 2 years. He worked with us through all of the date changes. ...
He worked with the venue to make sure he could set up on time. He kept everything on track and was very helpful with timing the meal and speeches. The spot light dances went so smoothly, and he had a cute 15 minute dance session for the kiddos at the beginning. The party songs were great!
Paul was absolutely fantastic! Our guest loved him & so did we!! He kept people on the dance floor all night!!

, and he was a huge hit during the reception! He worked with us beforehand to make sure everything went smoothly, especially since we were planning a wedding during Covid, and he exceeded our expectations. If you are looking for a very fun and personable DJ who knows what he is doing, we highly recommend Paul!
We were fortunate to have Paul Young DJ for both of our daughter's weddings which were 8 months apart and he did an absolutely fabulous job at both events. He was so easy to work ...
with, and his price was very competitive, which when you are paying for two weddings just months apart is an added bonus. He did a great job of keeping the evening moving in a very professional way without interjecting himself too much into the event but just enough that it felt very appropriate. I would definitely recommend him to any of my friends or family who were looking for a wedding DJ.

DJ Paul Young was on top of his game! Prior to wedding day, we had only corresponded a couple of times but he sent us this document with all sorts of information, recommendations, ...
and song lists for us to decide on. He was professional, timely, and budget-friendly and he had people dancing at our reception All. Night. Long. We still had a number of people dancing when the reception was over! He was prepared hours prior to the reception and prepared for any timeline changes to the night (like when we arrived a little late for dinner from taking pictures). I am so glad that we found DJ Paul and subsequently booked him. He did a great job and knows exactly what he's doing!
