Paul Michaels Events

ument and plan through everything we would need for an amazing ceremony and reception during our venue walk-through. Hearing his plan made me so glad we booked him for our big day! It was also great to work with Paul in our planning meetings and he helped us think through timelines and music requests. On the day of, DJ Brian and his assistant were wonderful to work with and kept the dance party going! Our friends and family raved that our wedding was one of the most fun they've been to. Thank you Paul and Paul Michaels Events team for an incredible wedding!

was packed the entire time and we had so many compliments on how much fun the dance floor was thanks to him! Could not recommend Paul Michaels Events more!!

he big day. He helped us think through the details we hadn't even considered. If you want your wedding to be a party, hire DJ Paul. He won't disappoint.

cefloor until our venue had to send people home. A week later and we are STILL getting compliments from guests on how incredible the DJ was. Paul and every single one of his DJs are absolutely fantastic!!!

e cannot say enough great things about him. Not only did he play a big part in making our day incredible but DJ Paul was so professional, accommodating, and super easy to work with. This company truly cares about their clients and are passionate and dedicated to their work and it shows through their attention to detail, organization, preparation, and responsiveness. Very reliable. HIGHLY recommend Paul Michaels Events. Truly the best!

ed by his attention to detail - he knew our wedding day inside and out and pulled off a seamless party. We had to move our wedding out of state last minute due to COVID and Paul didn't bat an eye and traveled to Texas for us and organized all the equipment rentals he would need. He's way more than an DJ and we couldn't recommend him more!

ul through the whole process by coordinating not only with us but with all of our vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. On our wedding day, Paul Michels Events DJ Company sent 2 of their DJs, Brian and Shannon. Both were phenomenal at reading the room, played great music and everyone had a great time.

t. Our wedding was supposed to be in May 2020, but had to be moved twice due to Covid. Paul was supportive and accommodating throughout the whole process, and we knew we would be absolutely taken care of. Paul personally met with us multiple times and even assisted in getting in contact with other vendors when necessary. We were able to create a timeline and compile most wanted to hear songs on their online portal, which was incredibly user friendly. The day of the wedding, we had absolutely no concerns about how amazing DJ Shannon and assistant Gabby were. Both checked in with us numerous times, thoughtfully ordered drinks for not only us, but our parents and bridal party, and worked around changes to the schedule that came up last minute. Shannon was incredibly responsive in changing the music to fit those on the dance floor, and played an amazing mix of music to suit our guests. If you're looking for a responsive, professional, and fun loving DJ company for your next event, we would 100% recommend Paul Michaels Events!

so much great insight on all aspects of the wedding planning process. He keeps all of the other vendors organized and on the same page to ensure that our special day was pure magic. He is not one of those cookie cutter DJs from your cousin's wedding--he makes it all about you and takes the utmost care in delivering a truly amazing experience! The Paul Michaels Team (on our day included DJ Shannon) also goes above and beyond to make sure that the bride and groom, as well as the entire wedding party feels supported and that every guest has a great time!

gs to working with us to create a perfect timeline, he really made sure it was a seamless celebration! Shannon was our DJ for our ceremony and reception and he was awesome. We had so much fun and loved the music choices. We even did a live stream of our ceremony for our guests that could not attend, and Shannon made sure everything ran smoothly! Everything was perfect, could not recommend this company enough!

aul worked with us to make sure every detail went smoothly. The music and atmosphere were amazing - we (and our guests) had a blast.

married in August of 2020. And yes, we were no exception to the worldwide pandemic delaying our original date planned for May 16th, 2020. From the first email inquiry with Paul, through our initial consultations, into our planning process, and all the way up to(and after) the day of our event Paul Michaels personally was there every step of the way. Our wedding was 2.5 hrs outside of Chicago, he accommodated. Our wedding was delayed due to Covid, he accommodated. Our wedding was unconventional, unfamiliar to Paul and his crew, required flexibility, didn't come with a wedding planner nor a coordinator, yet he again accommodated each and every circumstance during our planning process and throughout the day of. See, when you find someone such as Paul Michaels and his company to entertain your event you don't just find a DJ company, their equipment, and some burnout with a stereotypical industry name mashing buttons behind a table. You find a friend, someone who is personally invested in your day and hyper critical to details in order to assure complete satisfaction. You find what is and should be recognized as a differentiation between the "good" and the "best". From all of what Paul and his company did with their endless attention to detail, their professionalism and approach to criteria inside and outside the industry, and the building of a personal relationship left us with an individualized experience of memories and entertainment that ourselves and our guests will cherish for a lifetime. I'll definitely be hiring Paul Michaels Events again in the future.

assistant DJ Shannon went above and beyond in navigating day-of challenges with professionalism and efficiency all while ensuring our guests had a great time. We have received numerous compliments on our DJs from both family members and friends and we will definitely be recommending Paul Michaels Events to others!

ID, he was completely unreasonable about discussing us getting any money back. He had performed NO services and kept our enormous deposit. All of our other vendors were so much kinder and understanding during these unforeseen circumstances, he was the ONLY one who pulled in a lawyer to make us stop asking for our refund. He has caused a great deal of stress from his lack of kindness and flexibility, I would 0/10 recommend him to anyone as there are so many nice and flexible DJ's out there, why deal with a mean one?

sure everything was perfect. Paul traveled across the country for our event and we couldn't be more grateful. We have had several friends reach out to use to have Paul as their DJ. Paul will be your best option for your entertainment. Thank you Paul, we cannot tell you how happy we were to have you as our DJ and have several friends and family come to us commenting on how this was one of the best weddings they have ever attended. Great entertainment goes a long way! Thank you again Brad and Sara

that got everyone up dancing! Him and his team didn't overlook a single detail and were a huge part in our fun wedding! We definitely recommend Paul and his team!

he wedding reception timeline. We had couples of meetings with him to plan the big day, those were very efficient and helpful. On the big day, everything went exactly as we planned with him and he kept people dancing all night ! We would highly recommend him to annyone !

rofessional. If you want a DJ to get everyone excited to hit the dance floor and one who is very experienced, Paul is the one to hire. This company is the only one we will use from now on! Thanks so much Paul! We appreciate everything you did for us on our special day! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd777VtSmFc&feature=youtu.be

months in the planning process, using the online tools Paul has to help make our wedding day absolutely awesome. We got to choose up to 100 songs we wanted to hear, even songs we didn’t want to hear, specify what songs we wanted to hear at certain times, it was pretty cool to have this much control over our event. We had multiple meetings with Paul, via Google Hangouts, as we live out of state; and we were stoked for our big day! We were able to meet with one of the DJs that was going to DJ our wedding towards the end of our planning and timeline process, to do introductions and finalize things for our big day. We had, in writing, what our timeline was going to be, showing when a few specific songs would be played, and we were ready to go! On our wedding day, I believe things crumbled a bit. On the timeline we created with the DJ, we included a specific dance, that started with a specific song, to involve our older family members and recognize the length of their commitments to one another. It was something my wife and I were very much looking forward to but it never happened. Also on the timeline we created, at the suggestion of the DJ, we were supposed to play the, “Shoe Game.” A game led by the DJ, which we believed would be a great time to have some laughs. This didn’t happen either, and while it may seem like “a few small things,” these were things that were scheduled and agreed upon. Not to mention very special parts of our wedding day! Both of these things were scheduled to happen before the dancing portion of the evening. Onto the dancing portion, we were very specific with what songs we wanted to hear throughout the evening, and, unfortunately, there were numerous songs played early into the reception that were not on our list. Upon speaking with one of the DJs, I was told, “well you didn’t give us enough songs,” when we provided 100 songs. When I reminded the DJ we provided 100 songs, I was then told, “well we were waiting for you guys.” We are still unsure as to what that meant. The DJ then asked if we would like them to start playing our songs, to which I replied “yes!” When we originally contacted Paul, the owner, to express some of our concerns, it seemed as though he truly wanted to help us figure out where things went wrong and help resolve the issues. Through many email exchanges, it seems as though things have gone from the possibility of making things a bit better to worse. We will never get that day back, that’s a fact. But through our emails, we feel as if all the “blame” has been shifted to us, as the Purchasers of these services. At one point, it was said to us, “I can see how your disappointment may have been magnified when you had to deal with so many travel complications due to the hurricane in Florida after all the tremendous amount of planning we put in to the day. “ Throughout many email exchanges, we struggle to find any acceptance of responsibility for not following through with very specific things we originally agreed upon, in writing. I am HUGE on customer service being number one. Unfortunately we weren’t satisfied with all the services we paid for, and we definitely weren’t satisfied with the way we were treated after the fact.

the show. He was respectful, knowledgeable, accommodating, and so flexible with the last-minute rearrangements! We had a unique, international guest list, and, quite honestly, I was afraid to even book a DJ for my wedding (in my experience, if you've been to one American wedding, you've been to them all, and I didn't want my wedding to be "commercialized," scripted, or a production like this). Again, Michael was accommodating and catered his services to our needs and wants. In the end, we got the “intimate” and international wedding we were hoping for. Thank you, Michael and Special Event DJz!

as after we met with him once, we cancelled all our other prospective DJ meetings and booked with him! DJs Ian and Brian had our dance floor packed all night, did all the uplighting for our venue, did an awesome job with the Dancing On The Clouds that we added for our first dance (so special) and making sure all the speeches went off without a hitch. They even got to know our personalities and called my 'husband' up for a photo opp. in the DJ booth with his groomsmen, which made for an awesome memory. I would give them the highest recommendation to anyone I know looking for any kind of DJ services!

Paul communicates with your other vendors to make sure everything runs smoothly. His suggestions were on point and made my wedding an amazing experience!! I recommend Paul Michaels for any future events!

oor was full all night long! He made the planning process very easy, and he was one of our most organized vendors. I highly recommend Paul for any event!
