Paul is the best and a triple threat! His sound setup, lighting effects, and emceeing for our wedding were AMAZING! We couldn't have worked with a better vendor - his super positive attitude, responsiveness, professionalism, and detailed approach to the entire evening made everything go so smoothly!
Our only regret is that we didn't have our venue longer to keep the dance floor going, and that we didn't get to hang out more with Paul during the wedding because he's a very cool, down to earth, easy person to talk to!
We'll always remember how seamlessly the night went, mostly thanks to Paul! The projector seemed to appear magically towards the end of dinner for the slideshow, the sound was on point, the dance music perfect, and the lighting effects truly transformed the venue - several people asked about the lighting because they were so impressed with how well it was done!
I highly recommend Paul to anyone who needs sound, lighting, emceeing, djing, and maybe even officiating for their wedding! He can do it all!!
We feel incredibly lucky that we were able to to work with him. THANK YOU PAUL for making our wedding day so perfect. We'll never forget how magical the day felt.
Paul is AWESOME! He is super cool, down-to-earth, helpful, knowledgeable... I can go on and on! He DJed our wedding this past Saturday and every has been RAVING about fun the party was! My husband I met him for dinner one night to discuss what we were looking for in terms of the overall vibe, our music choices, etc. and we ended up having a such a great time with him. He works really hard to make sure my & my husband's very different tastes in music were reflected in the music at the wedding. Everyone was dancing & having a blast. Paul also MC'd the event, and did a fantastic job. You would be a fool to pass up hiring Paul as your wedding DJ!
Paul is the BEST. He is so friendly and easy to work with. He was our DJ and MC for our reception over the weekend. Once we finished meeting with him a few weeks before the wedding, he took care of everything else, contacting the venue himself to get the logistics figured out. My husband really wanted a pro basketball type entrance and Paul was totally game. The music selection was perfect and the dance floor was packed all night. He was excellent at keeping everything on schedule so that we could relax and enjoy the night. Thank you Paul!
We love Paul! Our wedding was a week ago and we couldn't be happier with VCR Sound. Building up to our wedding, Paul set up a few calls with us to get to know us and our preferences. His questions helped us think of all the possibilities. On the day of the wedding, Paul set up the sound system for our string quartet outside and provided the mic and speakers for the ceremony. He did uplighting inside which really set the mood for dinner and dancing. He also MC'd a bit and helped move the evening along smoothly. If you want a DJ who is easy to work with and on top of his game, go with Paul. If you have a really strong sense of what you want for your music, or if you have no idea and need the DJ to do everything, Paul can do either!
Wrote the below review soon after my wedding, but let me add this addendum: I still can't recommend VCR Sound enough. Lately I've been paying more attention to DJing at weddings, and I honestly feel like I didn't just love his work out of some biased dream-state over being at my OWN wedding - he really does do a much better job than your typical wedding DJ.

Paul did an amazing job as DJ and MC at my wedding at the Falkirk Center in San Rafael, CA. Before the event, he was thorough but efficient with his questions - he thought of everything that I would have forgotten, but didn't have some long tedious form in the middle of all our event planning. He was always quick to answer our questions, too.
The Falkirk Center wasn't the most straightforward place for audio - our ceremony was in a garden, the reception was on a lawn up a hill from there, and then dancing later was inside. Paul figured it all out on his own, and the sound came out great everywhere. Music and speeches were clear, good tone, perfect volume. Importantly, his timing was impeccable during our ceremony. Throughout the day, he did a great job of smoothly moving things along, while always checking in with someone to see if we wanted extra time for anything.
A couple weeks before the event, I sent Paul an eclectic list of maybe 30 songs (swing house, indie rock, pop, etc. It was a real unorganized mess of stuff, some good for cocktail hour background, some good for dancing, etc. From there, he sorted it out and filled in the gaps to span probably 7 or 8 hours of time. It was definitely our style, but other people were commenting on how great the music was, too. Cocktail hour and dinner were cool and classy, easy to talk over. Later, he got a diverse group up and dancing together. Towards the end of the night, when we had some goofy 90s pop requests, he was ready with that, too.
Paul was friendly, approachable, organized, and professional. Sound can really make or break an event, and we had an excellent time. Thanks Paul!
I could not have asked for a better wedding day. Through all the stress of planning and organizing everything came through perfectly and one of those things was our amazing DJ, Paul. We had a meeting about a week before to talk about what we did and did not want played and the vibe we were going for and he came through big time. He did a wonderful job setting the mood for every phase of the reception (cocktails, dinner, dancing) and handled his own set up/break down. Most importantly though, he is just the greatest dude and a wonderful presence to have on your special day!
Paul was an absolutely incredible DJ to work with for my wedding! He is so good about learning who you, the couple, are when he meets you. He is concerned about learning your and your soon-to-be spouse's musical tastes and then figuring out how to work with that in a way that appeals to a larger, varied, wedding audience. Paul not only did a great job at working in our favorite tunes and bands, but he also aced the rather difficult challenge of working in some ethnic music (Armenian and Italian) throughout the night-- without making it seem forced. Overall, Paul found a way to please everyone and keep the whole crowd dancing all night long, despite the challenges of working with quite an eclectic mix of music.
But Paul didn't stop there. He went absolutely above and beyond and came through for us when our wedding planner fell through at the last minute. When Paul heard that our wedding planner had ditched us THREE WEEKS before our wedding, he asked, "What can I do?" Paul gladly picked up so many of the tasks that should have belonged to a planner (ex: coordinating with vendors and catering, MCing, handling a non-traditional order of events, keeping things calm when we had a minor medical emergency, etc.). He literally saved our sanity on the day of our wedding, which allowed my husband, family, and me to enjoy the day we'd looked forward to for so long.
I cannot say enough about how awesome Paul is as a DJ and wedding vendor in general. He is the absolute best and I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation!
Paul is AWESOME! He has such a great sense of keeping a party going and knows how to get everyone on the dance floor!!
Stop looking- Paul is the DJ for you! I have attended two weddings (one in Woodside, the other at the Flood Mansion) that Paul DJ'd and my husband couldn't get me off the dance floor. Paul has a great selection of music and is very in tune with the bride and groom's wishes, as well as their guests. The bride and groom at both weddings were very happy with their reception because of Paul. He is outgoing, friendly, easy to work with, a great listener... and also super talented. Hire him!
Paul DJ'd/MC'd our wedding at Ralston White Retreat in Mill Valley. I really couldn't recommend him enough! Me being new to the whole wedding thing, Paul was such a great resource on timing and giving a voice to the flow of the evening.
The music was outstanding. We provided a short list of songs and really just genre requests - and he more than covered everything we wanted. Our guests danced seriously all night long.
Music is such an important part of a wedding, and I couldn't be more happy with how things went. It really is a highlight of my memories when I think about our wedding.
Paul made things run smoothly and really kept the party going! :-)
In addition, Paul is a fantastic person (as well as DJ and MC) and someone you want to have there on such a fun event.
I (MoB) chose this DJ, and was reprimanded by my daughter for not letting her choose. After she and her fiance met with him in person and discussed their likes/dislikes, she THANKED me for choosing the most easy-going, intuitive DJ that was willing and eager to help her and her fiance, while not getting them anxious about the music portion. Paul was phenomenal in every way including help us keep to our timeline for the wedding reception. Also, his selection of music kept the party lively, and upbeat. I may have wished there to be one or two more slow dances, but regardless, when does the MOB ever need to be carried home because her feet hurt from dancing?
