Every love story deserves a celebration worthy of its magic, and this past weekend, Yuanye and William’s love story came to life in a whirlwind of joy, laughter, and music. As their chosen DJ service, Paul Michaels Events DJ Company had the pleasure of orchestrating a night filled with unforgettable moments and cherished memories.

Returning to one of our favorite venues, the JW Marriott in Downtown Chicago, was a joyous occasion for our team. Amidst the grandeur of the Burnham Ballroom, Yuanye and William gathered with their nearest and dearest to celebrate their love in the heart of the Windy City. Though they officially tied the knot over a year ago, this was their chance to rejoice with friends and family in a celebration as grand as their love. To enhance their celebration, we provided the couple with our signature experience package, which is tailored to suit the unique atmosphere of each venue. We also provided an array of entertainment options, including a photobooth that quickly became a favorite among guests.

The festivities commenced with a delightful cocktail hour in the foyer, setting the stage for a magical evening. As the Burnham Ballroom doors swung open, Yuanye and William made their grand entrance, greeted by the cheers and applause of their excited guests. The evening unfolded with heartfelt toasts and engaging speeches, each one a testament to the love and admiration shared by all.

But no celebration is complete without music, and DJ Paul Michaels and Assistant Sofia ensured that the soundtrack to Yuanye and William’s special day was nothing short of spectacular. From beloved oldies to contemporary hits, every song was carefully selected based on guest requests, taking everyone on a musical journey that kept the dance floor alive and buzzing with energy.

In addition to the music and dancing, Yuanye and William’s reception featured a cake cutting ceremony, symbolizing their shared commitment to love and partnership. The evening also included the playful tradition of the shoe game, a lighthearted activity that brought laughter and joy to all who participated. We also have to give a special shoutout to Ryan from our photobooth team, whose skillful capture of countless smiles and moments of joy ensured that guests could take a piece of the party home with them!

It was an honor to help bring your vision to life and create unforgettable memories for you and your guests.
