    Amazing dj!

    Our experience with DJ Rich was spectacular from start to finish. He is extremely organized, friendly and professional. He allowed us to create a playlist for us to play on our wedding day, which was AMAZING! He had the entire guest dance the entire night!

    Rich is an amazing DJ. Our guests remarked multiple times to us that they wanted to dance even when they were exhausted from dancing - and I consider myself included in that comment! My husband who never dances was also up most of the night which made me so happy. The music was awesome top to bottom. Rich also helped us with lighting a crucial part of our venue and making it look amazing, and the photo booth worked out very well. Rich listened to me and made our wedding super fun (and is a lovely person to boot!)

    DJ Rich was the best choice. Hands down. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, he’s been helping along the way! He quickly responded to emails, was super accommodating, listened to all my choices/song selections, and he made sure everyone was up and dancing the day of. I had so much fun and he played a huge role in that!

    He also came to the ceremony and provided a wireless mic, and we got a lighting package through him. The uplights we selected made the reception a beautiful warm, golden tone and we got so many compliments.

    All of our wedding guests are still talking about how much fun they had. You will not go wrong with selecting Santa Barbara Paradise Music!

    Santa Barbara Paradise Music's reply:

    Thank you Brandi for the amazing review! It was a pleasure and an honor to share your special day with you and get to know you both.

    DJ Rich was amazing to work with; highly recommend his services. He took the time to get to know my husband and I even before we agreed to work together, which showed his personable and genuine character. His online database made it seamless to collaborate and check on status. All of my friends and family had such a great time on the big day - he brought the spirit, jams, and kept the party going! In addition to the music, he provided uplighting (that was just the extra romantic touch that we needed) and our photo booth with fun props and great lighting. Our wedding would not have been the same without DJ Rich and SB Paradise Music.

    SB Paradise Music is without a doubt a company that exceeded their reputation for offering quality service at a reasonable price. I've had the privilege of using their DJ and photo booth services on six different occasions over the past couple of years. SB Paradise Music was able to accommodate my functions that ranged from 40 to 1600 guests. During each event - Retirement, Commencement, Welcome Celebration, Transfer Success Ceremony, Bridal Shower, etc. the staff were all extremely proficient at their craft and professional in their attitude, dress, timeliness, and overall demeanor at the function.

    During your initial contact with Rich (owner), you will feel as though you are his only client as he is attentive, patient and conscientious in wanting to better understand your vision for the event to ensure your needs are fully realized. Rich is a consummate professional, and his company is reflective of this; from his responsiveness, the talented and skilled professionals that he employs, purchasing and using state of the art DJ and photobooth equipment, and following up to ensure that the services offered at your event were to your satisfaction. Rich also provided me with a link (URL) to all the pictures taken at the photobooth, which was an added bonus as I hadn't seen most of the images taken during the event. I will continue using SB Paradise Music for both my work and personal functions as I have always been completely satisfied with their services.

    SB Paradise Music - thank you for your contributions in making so many beautiful memories for me, my guests and the Santa Barbara community.

    We really enjoyed having Venesa and Cass DJ our wedding. They are both so sweet and friendly and NAILED IT with the music. We also had a photobooth and it was an absolute hit! The entire team at SB Paradise Music are extremely friendly and helpful. They made this unknown territory of planning a wedding very easy.

    Rich and the team were amazing!!! Rich made our wedding sooo much fun with his DJing!! He was on awesome and on point!! Even my grandma in a wheelchair got on the dance floor??!! He was awesome with contact and easy to work with!! I didn’t give him a lot of music choice to work with has I’m not great with Artist names lol but just by talking with us and him going out of his way to get to know us he knew exactly what to play and it was perfect!! Then there’s the photobooth service was on point too!! It made our wedding fun and it was so easy to use! It was definitely a extra bonus to see and get all the strips copied after the wedding. Thanks Rich and the team for your amazing work and talent!!!

    We met with a couple of DJs prior to meeting with Rich and as soon as we met him myself and my husband agreed we wanted to hire him for our wedding. He is so friendly and I liked that he said he wants to come to the wedding and not be some random guy who plays music but that we are like hey rich! and really feel like we know him. The way you choose your music was all online and you can say what songs you must hear, songs that if theres time you would like and songs you do not want to hear. The whole night ran smoothly and there was always people on the dance floor. He played the shoe game with us, announced various events (cake cutting, toasts, etc.), he had a great setup and lots of additions (lighting, dance floor light logo, audio). And the photo booth everybody loved it! Definitely a great choice and I HIGHLY recommend!

    Santa Barbara Paradise Music's reply:

    Thank you so much Stephanie! What an honor it was to be part of your special day. The Newlywed Game was awesome and I especially loved your grand exit and can't forget your photostrip custom design you made for us. :-)

    Rich and his team were a perfect addition to our wedding day! Communication with Rich was easy and quick and he was able to fulfill every obscure song request we had for our ceremony and reception (we used a lot of movie scores and he found them all!). We also used the photobooth service through SB Paradise Music and it was so fun for all of our guests to take photos and keep strips as favors. We had it available for the all of cocktail hour and the whole reception and was a great value! Rich also emcee'd our reception and kept the evening running smoothly, working well with our day of coordinator. We and our guests had the best time dancing all evening and we're so glad Rich and his team made our wedding day the best!

    Santa Barbara Paradise Music's reply:

    Thank you so much Sara for taking the time to write us an awesome review! We had a blast providing entertainment for your special day and working with you throughout the planning process. We can't wait to see the amazing photos. :-)

    Wedding planning ended up being a stressful enterprise for me, but a number of special vendors, including Santa Barbara Paradise Music, made the process so much easier. I can't say enough about how helpful Rich was during the planning process and on the day of the wedding. I can get stressed easily, but Rich is so positive, easy going, and organized that the DJ and lighting was something I soon realized I didn't need to stress out about. Rich and SBPM did our microphones and audio for the wedding site in addition to DJing our cocktail hour and reception. They also set up some beautiful lighting for the dance floor. Before finding Rich, my husband and I had contacted about 8 other vendors, and not only was Rich one of the more affordable options, he had great reviews. Rich really listened to us about our unique music preferences, and having him as our DJ helped establish the mood the whole night long. Some of my favorite memories from the day of include dancing with friends and family, and thanks to Rich, the dance floor was never empty! If I ever need DJ/lighting/audio for another event, it's a no brainer. Rich has our business for life!

    SB Paradise Music was the perfect choice for our New Year's Eve wedding. Rich was a great DJ, and read the crowd perfectly. We spoke on the phone several times to make sure we were on the same page, and he was very responsive. The music was perfect, and everyone loved him as a DJ-- he was informative, entertaining, and not too "over the top" as some DJ's can be. I would definitely recommend using him for any wedding or event in the SB area! Very fun and professional.

    Rich is a professional that creates a friendship atmosphere. He is flexible which helps any wedding planning preparations. I love old school music and was drawn to Rich's booth, playing a track from a Prince record. We connected right of the bat with his charisma. He helped alleviate any stress my bride to be and I would've had. His Photo booth upgrade made our wedding that much more fun. I'd recommend Rich anytime, hands down.

    SB Paradise Music was GREAT for our wedding! Rich did an excellent job giving my spouse and I a service that we will both cherish forever. The photo booth pictures turned out amazing, the props were fun, the communication was excellent, and the price was great! We would definitely recommend using them for any occasion!

    DJ Rich was fantastic! From start to finish he was professional, friendly and helpful. He took the time to check in on us throughout the planning process and was always very prompt in answering any questions we had. The online client portal makes it very easy to enter timeline info and song requests. Rich put together a great playlist with the music we selected and all of the guests were out on the dance floor enjoying the music! We had a great experience with Rich and would highly recommend him for your wedding!

    We were totally pleased with every aspect...from our first contact, to follow-up and delivery of everything we contracted. Vanessa was very pleasant to work with and very responsive to any questions we had Plus she provided great information and suggestions as well. Our DJ set up all of the equipment on time and did an awesome job of entertaining our guests and keeping the evening flowing! We highly recommend Santa Barbara Paradise Music.

    Santa Barbara Paradise had the best photo booth we are so happy that we booked them! Our guests had a blast with the photo booth and then after we got back from our honeymoon we received a dropbox link with all of our guests photo strips! It was so much fun looking through all of the pictures! We could not stop laughing and smiles for hours!

    We loved working with DJ Rich at SB Paradise Music. What a great guy! He is so genuinely nice and helpful and willing to work with you to make your day perfect. He is incredibly responsive, and he helped keep us on schedule when planning our event. His website makes selecting a play list so easy -- and fun -- and he was always willing to offer tips for how to make the day go smoothly and on what songs work or don't work. We picked a ton of our favorites (hours and hours worth), and DJ Rich did an amazing job of narrowing those down and picking the perfect songs for different parts of our event to keep the party going. We had so much fun, and the dance floor was packed the entire night -- with people of all ages! DJ Rich also worked incredibly well with all our other vendors, and he went out of his way to help our best man play hit big with a joke during the speech. We had DJ Rich at our ceremony site as well, and that was great. Everything with SB Paradise Music and DJ Rich is easy. I knew anything he was in charge of would go off without a hitch. We also had a photo booth, and that was fantastic. All our guests loved it, and DJ Rich sent us all the images soon after the event. We would recommend SB Paradise Music to everyone. You'll get above and beyond high-quality service from someone who has such a tremendous amount of experience that he can help plan your day-of timeline and keep everything moving. He did a classy and lovely job of uplighting the space for us too. And he is super nice and fun! We loved DJ Rich!

    We contracted with Santa Barbara Paradise Music for our daughter's wedding photobooth service and we could not have been happier! Rich was so flexible and never tired of our questions or requests and all our correspondence had been months before the wedding. At the wedding, Rich continued to impress us with his professionalism, excitement and enthusiasm! We did not have the need for DJ services but if we had we for sure would have contracted with Santa Barbara Paradise Music as well. Thank you Rich and Santa Barbara Paradise Music for contributing to an amazing celebration!

    SB Paradise Music was magical. DJ Rich played all the songs my wife and I requested at the perfect moments. Music is the most important part of any party and nobody left the dance floor on our special wedding day. If you have any doubts about SB Paradise Music meet with DJ Rich and you'll feel much more comfortable.

    The services provided by SBPM exceeded my expectations. I was beyond impressed with the level of professionalism and I highly recommend their DJ and photo booth services. One of the perks of using SBPM is the ability to plan for my event on my own time and at my convenience. Using a secure log-in on their website, I was able to choose my music and have a detailed time line of our event which was amazing. Everyone had so much fun using the photo booth and the props. The music was great and overall the event was a major success! Thank you, SBPM!
