Recently DJ Paul Michaels and assistant Brian provided wedding reception DJ services, and full room uplighting for Kaitlin and Michael for their wedding at St Giles Catholic Church in Oak Park, IL. Kaitlin and Michael had a wonderful ceremony (catholic mass) before the reception at the church, and then came across the street to the reception hall to celebrate.

Kaitlin and Michael were honestly a wonderful couple to work with throughout the process, and we love that from day one they put their full trust in Paul Michaels Events, knowing that we’d do everything in our power to make sure their wedding reception was perfect!

Vendors we had the pleasure of working with:
Venue: St Giles Catholic Church in Oak Park
Photography: The Pros
Videography: Live Native Creative
Caterer: Jim and Pete’s in Elmwood Park, IL

Best DJ in the Business Paul is the best DJ in the business! We hired Paul after attending a friend's wedding he was at. He keeps the dance floor full all night long because he goes above and beyond in the planning of your wedding before the day of. We were so impressed 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!

Couldn't have asked for a better experience Can't say enough great things about Paul! From start to finish, Paul put me and my fiance at ease with his expertise and advice. In our first call, he took time to ask us about our vision and used that to tailor his recommendations. After booking with Paul, he provides you with access to a portal that lets you easily organize all the planned music as well as give him guidance for must plays, like to hear, do not play, etc. It also has a section where you can see popular songs for various parts of the wedding and/or for different genres, which we really needed and appreciated. After that, you meet with Paul to cover your selections and nail down more of the timeline for the day itself. Organized to a T. Most importantly, Paul read the dance floor perfectly, responding and adapting to the vibe as the night went on. He was the perfect blend of energetic but not at all obnoxious (have definitely seen corny DJs at other weddings - this is NOT Paul), his assistant was great, and he worked side by side not only with us but also our other vendors and coordinators. Not exaggerating that close to a dozen guests raved about Paul specifically. Direct quote the next morning from a guest from New Jersey for our Chicago wedding: "He was FANTASTIC, I'm gonna fly him out for our anniversary party!" While I'm not sure if Paul's radius extends that far, I am sure it would be the East Coast's loss. You can't go wrong.

From day one Paul was supportive throughout the process. He did multiple check ins around your schedule and helped the ease the stress in any way he could. He has resources available if you need them, such as a place to rent a dance floor from, or possible photographers you can hire. Come the day of the wedding he did not disappoint. Weeks later, our families are still talking about the music from the reception and how much fun they had dancing. From the time the dancing started until the end of the night our dance floor was booming the whole time.
