Booking Paul Michaels Events was one of the best choices we made during our wedding planning process! Paul is so organized, helpful, and knowledgeable about how to make your event perfect! Our venue has a unique layout and Paul made sure to document 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!

My wife and I used DJ Paul Michaels for our wedding this past September and we couldn’t have asked for a better DJ! From our first introduction call all the way to the wedding, Paul was incredibly organized, responsive, and professional. Paul was very open to help cater the event to the needs of my wife and I and played a very valuable role in helping plan out the flow of the evening. We decided part way though our wedding process to do a cocktail style wedding with no formal seated dinner, and Paul Michaels was very helpful in putting together an event timeline that fit this style of wedding and kept everything exciting and fun. Paul made sure to ask all the right questions to ensure that him and his team had everything they needed to deliver on the experience. He also ensured his team had a detailed timeline that helped make sure nothing was missed throughout the process DJ Paul Michaels has a great website that helps highlight songs we really wanted to hear, those which we definitely didn’t want to hear, and to summarize the names of all of our wedding party and vendors so that they were familiar come the day of the wedding. DJ Brain ended up emceeing our wedding and did a fantastic job. Brian was great at reading the room to provide the music that best fit the scene and made sure to play songs that would keep people on the dance floor. By the end of the night, our entire wedding was enjoying themselves on the dance floor to the set that DJ Brian was putting together. Overall, we were incredibly satisfied with our experience working with Paul Michaels and DJ Brian. If you’re looking for a DJ who not only delivers a great playlist but also enhances the overall event, I wholeheartedly recommend their services.

Paul and Luis worked our wedding a few weeks ago and I can’t say enough about them. The music was great, everyone had a great time, and they handled all our last minute changes like they were nothing. Our wedding was bilingual so we were worried about finding a way to ensure everyone had a great time but Paul and Luis were able to find the perfect balance of Spanish and English. The ceremony and the reception were seamless and Paul and Luis were a big reason why. They were also a huge help throughout our entire planning process, and worked really well with all our vendors. We highly recommend them!

DJ Brian handled the party and he was very professional, responsive and fun! The music selection, outside our recommendations was great as well. We danced until the very last minute. We would definitely recommend!!

I hired Paul Michaels Events for Joliet Central's Homecoming Dance the past two years. They run a very professional business, are detail oriented and provide top notch DJ services. The students enjoyed their production as well. There was a huge increase in dance ticket sales from year to year after using Paul Michaels. We are planning on hiring them again for next years dance as well.

Paul and his team assisted our company during a parade celebration which required them to secure all of the equipment to the top portion of a bus. Paul and his team stayed in constant contact throughout the planning stages, suggested alternatives to ease the process and executed extremely well! Great music selection - listened to all of our suggestions and took requests! The day went off without a hitch thanks to the professionalism and talent of Paul and his team. We will definitely be using them again and again!

DJ Shannon was the DJ at my daughter’s graduation party from high school. The crowd had a mix of adults and older teens. He is a genuinely upbeat and friendly person. He was very chill and read the crowd perfectly to keep the energy going. Would highly recommend!

We have used Paul Michaels Events for multiple fundraising events at the Auditorium Theatre and have been blown away each time! The dance floor was always full, and attendees raved about the party atmosphere. Paul is very responsive and great to work with. He was happy to take specific instructions on what we wanted at each event. We have found our favorite DJ in Chicago! Looking forward to using Paul Michaels Events in the future!

We highly recommend Paul Michael Events for your next event. Paul is extremely professional, organized and helpful in pulling together the exact type of dance/party atmosphere you are trying to achieve. We've used him for both of our children't Mitzvah celebrations and could not have been more blown away. Our guests were equally as thrilled and impressed.

We had Paul for our wedding on 6/30/18. Leading up to the wedding he was organized, helpful, and pretty much willing to do everything to make sure our reception went perfectly. He worked as a day of coordinator - working with all of the other vendors to ensure everyone was on the same page - we were SO thankful for this part of his service - and it helped put us at ease. Paul and his assistant were so professional and helpful at the reception, making sure everyone was in place and ready before we were announced. Throughout dinner he went to every table asking for requests - something we'd never seen done before. Guests even said that he was super friendly! Every guest I've talked to since the wedding has commented on how good the music selection was. Each song flowed right into the next one and there was never any stoppage of music. We spent all night on the dance floor and loved every second of it! We definitely recommend DJ Paul Michaels Events to anyone that needs a DJ for any reason!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to work with Paul Michaels Events as my wedding DJ and photo booth. From the start Paul provided excellent and attentive service. He is extremely knowledgeable about the wedding world and has tremendously helpful insight. He was able to answer any an all questions we had without any hesitations. The online tools provided are wonderful to help nail down the details and made the planning process painless. Additionally, he was very reassuring through out the entire process and ultimately provided an excellent wedding day experience. He and his assistant were timely, kept us on track, played all of our requested songs and kept the party moving. After the wedding I had several people tell me he was one of the best wedding DJ's they had ever seen. 10 / 10 I would recommend his company for your event.

Kudos to Paul Michaels Events and DJ Miguel for helping us have a wonderful surprise 40th birthday party for my daughter in downtown Chicago last weekend! Paul (owner of Paul Michaels Events) exceeded all of our expectations in assisting to make this event extra special. Living out of state & trying to plan in another state was extra challenging for us, however Paul went above and beyond, responding to phone calls immediately, answering emails within minutes, and addressing any questions and concerns efficiently...He even made a trip to the venue to meet with the manager, look at options, and take pictures to send, knowing we could not do so from far away...We so greatly appreciated this! DJ Miguel arrived early & was prepared to start ahead ofscheduled time...He was very organized, courteous and accomodating to our requests... Music was great, and everyone had an awesome time! Thank you, Paul and Miguel, for your genuine kindness and your true professionalism in making this such a remarkable evening for all!
They were AMAZING! Everyone had a great time. Played the right songs at the right time, worked in guest requests, and gave us the perfect party vibe. Hightl recommended!
We made a great decision to go with Paul Michaels Events for our wedding! Paul was involved every step up the way up to the wedding. Their portal made setting up our timeline super easy as well as making sure all our songs we wanted to hear were on our list. We even had several meetings to go over everything and were able to get answers to any of our questions. The day of the wedding, Paul made sure everything lined up with our timeline and even helped make a few last minute changes. I'd highly recommend Paul Michaels Events for your wedding or really any event that may require a DJ.
