The BEST Wedding DJ: You Get WAY More Than What You Pay For!

Look no further for the perfect wedding DJ! Not only are Paul's rates EXTREMELY affordable and more than reasonable, but he will provide you with so much more quality than what you pay for. My husband and I are AVID music listeners/playlist makers, so we had a lot of specific song requests, including ones that could only be found on YouTube or Google Drive MP3. Paul makes everything super easy in terms of telling him what you want. I even had a "secret song" I wrote, recorded, and then sang live vocals with that DJ Paul worked with me to make happen with perfect timing, behind the scenes, secretly from my husband! It went perfectly. :-) And, if you don't know which songs you want, he's going to throw in other great ones that go with the vibe you're looking for. I remember thinking, "Oh, we didn't request this song, but I'm so glad he picked it! I love this song!" He is extremely responsive. We tried calling him by phone to make sure he was available and he picked up right away. He's super communicative via email, and sets up a final phone call with you the week ahead of you wedding to comb through the wedding day from start-to-finish. He is also so friendly! He made one of the most stressful parts of wedding planning fun and exciting. And...what a host/entertainer he is! He had such an amazing energy while DJing, but not in a way that was over-the-top or overbearing. During the YMCA, he put on a construction hat and vest, and it was freaking awesome!!! He did other amazing leads for classics like the conga. I can't sing enough praises for how happy we were with Paul's services!!!! He is the absolute best, for the lowest rate!!

Created the positive and fun atmosphere we wanted!

We understood that selecting the right DJ was crucial in setting the tone for our wedding's joyful and fun atmosphere. Meeting Paul at a Thursday Club open house, we were immediately impressed by his positive energy, friendly, professional, and charismatic personality. His genuine nature and humor added an extra layer of charm that resonated with us.

Leading up to the wedding, Paul brought a sense of relief to the bride with his "can do" attitude and knowledgeable approach. In our pre-event meetings, he not only embraced our ideas but also offered valuable suggestions based on his thorough knowledge of our chosen venue, helping us craft the perfect atmosphere for our celebration.

Numerous guests praised the excellence of our DJ, highlighting Paul's passion and dedication to his craft. His willingness to let us create our own unique playlists for each part of the event was greatly appreciated, showcasing his flexibility and commitment to fulfilling our vision.

Paul's collaboration with all our vendors was seamless, going above and beyond by coordinating with them before the event to ensure a smooth experience. He truly was one of the MVPs among our wedding vendors, ensuring everything ran flawlessly before and during the celebration. Without hesitation, we highly recommend Paul to anyone in search of a talented and dedicated wedding DJ.

Dancing all night long!

DJ Paul was amazing! We loved working with him - he was super friendly, easy to communicate with, and helped our wedding run seamlessly. He was key to our reception running smoothly with his cues/MCing and had our dance floor going all night long with a great mix of songs. We appreciated how flexible he was with our last minute timeline updates. We are so grateful that we were able to work with Paul and would love to dance the night away with his DJ-ing again!

The best, most fun dj!

We got married in November 2022 and hired DJ Paul for our wedding. Because of his services, our wedding day went flawlessly. Paul truly helped make our wedding day the best experience and for that we are so grateful! He made sure everyone was having a great time. He is very responsive to messages and wants to make sure you have all the music that you need for your wedding. He is just the BEST!

High Energy and Genuinely Caring

DJ Paul Peterson MADE my entire wedding! Not only did my wife and I think that Paul was above and beyond amazing, but so many of our guests came up to us during the wedding to say how much they loved the DJ. Paul set the whole mood with this energy, positivity, and genuine care for how we felt. The wedding party was energized throughout the night by all Paul's positive comments in private like "Who's ready for the grand entrance!" And "Let's get excited for the next song!". Paul happily took song requests from my guest so they could have the best time, he made in-the-moment adjustments to make me happy and did it all with a smile and enthusiasm. Paul also reached out to all of my other wedding vendors the week of the wedding just to make sure everyone was on the same page. Paul is not just a DJ, he focuses on making sure the whole day goes off without a hitch because he truly cares about the bride and groom. If you want to feel appreciated, heard, and taken care of in a professional manner, hire Paul Peterson the High Energy DJ.

Energetic, Humorous, Excellent DJ

We hired Paul as our DJ at Twin Oaks and absolutely LOVED working with him. Paul is professional, on time and a great communicator. Our of all my vendors he was the easiest to get in touch with and always the first to respond. He helped plan our day and everything went according to plan from the ceremony to the reception. Our guests absolutely loved him and kept asking where we found him from. His price is so reasonable and you get more than you ask for with Paul. He kept the party going all night and matched our persian/mexican family who love to dance. Paul we are forever grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts! Thank you for making our night memorable!

Hire him. He will EASILY be your favorite vendor.

Hire him. I don't know if any amount of words is really adequate enough to describe just how phenomenal of a job Paul did as our wedding DJ and MC. Personally, the DJ was not an area of our wedding expenses in which we were allocating much of our finances towards, usually most brides invest more into photographers and florals and I was no exception to that trend. And as such, of the list provided to us by our venue (they required we select from), we went with the most budget friendly option, even if it meant that the DJ would only be mediocre. But what initially started off as just a financially convenient option, actually surpassed all expectations and any previous examples of any other DJ I've ever seen at other weddings and events. Paul was EASILY one of my FAVORITE wedding vendors I hired for my wedding. The most amazing communicator and facilitator, organizer, prompt and prepared, he was so personable, and can read the crowd so well. I really cannot praise him enough. My husband and I could not stop making remarks throughout the night at just how amazing Paul was. We never knew a DJ could be so amazing and honestly a real MVP and we will be sending everyone and anyone his way. I could not recommend a better DJ or MC for your wedding or event.

What a Great Time!!

DJ Paul Peterson was an essential part of making our wedding celebration a successful one! His upbeat personality and excellent song choice kept the party going throughout the night. As both the DJ and our MC, he kept the energy high while keeping everyone informed of what event was coming up next. He kept in communication as our wedding date approached and it was comforting to walk through the plan with him as well. Thank you Paul for helping to make our big day one we will never forget!

He made everything so easy fro me from a day of timeline for information to rolling with the punches that come along with the big day. I had so many requests and he was just so willing and happy to help! What a wonderful man, wonderful energy and just perfection. I have no complaints what-so-ever.

I am still getting compliments of his wonderful performance!

The best in San Diego

DJ Paul was incredible. I can’t imagine my wedding with any other DJ for so many reasons. From our initial contact, he was so kind. He is incredibly organized and it made everything so easy for us. I had no idea there was so much planning that goes into the music and timing for a wedding! He guided us through the entire process, making great suggestions and making sure we were comfortable with everything. Not only did he get everyone out on the dance floor during the reception, he worked with my officiant and coordinator to make the ceremony perfect. We even had a minor fiasco with the flowers on the arch before the ceremony, and he jumped right in to help! Life-saver! He was also such a great emcee, setting the flow of the entire event. I initially found DJ Paul because he fit into our budget, and I am so blessed that we got services that far exceeded his price tag. He is the best in San Diego, at the best price - our guests loved him, he was so fun and easy to work with, and our day was smooth and stress-free because of him. I cannot thank him enough for the extraordinary job he did for us.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Paul Peterson is one of my favorite DJ's to work with... I've done about 600 weddings. Paul is very professional and on top of his game! He's always at the venue setting-up early, looking sharp, and ready to go on time! His sound system and mics are excellent, and always right on queue. I've seen many DJ's that are not seasoned start the wrong songs, or not start them at the right time... Paul never makes those amateur mistakes. He is always attentive and does an amazing job! Paul treats everyone professionally and gracefully. He is very easy to work with. I would highly endorse Paul for your special day! Pastor Carlos Sales ~ www.2Wed4Life.com
