FUN & CLASSY ENTERTAINMENT THAT MATCHES YOUR STYLE

If you like the idea of having a dedicated, full-time, single-operator DJ who does only weddings & who will be fully vested in you & your big day, then you’ll get an excellent value in service & performance. In addition to spot-on music skills, couples reserve me to guarantee they have the following: skillful & appropriate emcee; creative ideas; availability & speed in answering questions; in short, sharp all-around performance. Unlike most DJ companies on The Knot, Weddings by Paris is NOT a volume-based, churn & burn, multiple DJ company where you might not be sure which part-time DJ you’re getting. I will work with you to identify your vision & bring that vision to life. Choose as much or as little of your music as you wish. On the equipment-side, you’ll have the right sound setup for your venue; on the talent-side, you can choose from offerings like a Expanded intros, Custom voiceovers, Love Story & more to make big moments & memories bigger by personalizing your reception, or choose none & simply enjoy a great dance party. As a full-time, single-operator, 1-wedding-per-day DJ, I have the time to pay attention to what's important to you; acquire & listen to any of your special or ethnic music selections that I might not have or be familiar with; do any custom editing you want for any of your formal dances or ceremony musi; do a site visit at your venue prior to your big day; answer your emails, phone calls & texts immediately; take a personalized approach involving you in planning your entertainment, creating a non-cookie cutter, unforgettably fun celebration experience; help you properly plan & execute your vision for your wedding day

Excellent wedding DJ

We loved working with Paris for our wedding! He was extremely professional and ran the reception very well! I loved that we were able to craft how we wanted the reception to flow, including specific dances we wanted to include and some dances/traditions we didn't want to include. We felt he truly cared about us and our wedding. I would highly recommend!

Excellent!

Paris was great! He was super responsive at all phases of planning, and gave us a really useful prep packet to help plan our event schedule. He clearly had a lot of experience and smoothly managed all of his equipment setup/teardown with minimal supervision, and nailed every important music change timing during the ceremony and reception. Lastly, he kept the dance floor moving and everyone had a blast once it opened up, and all of our friends enjoyed the night until closing!

Exceptional D.J.

Paris was our DJ for our ceremony/cocktail hour/reception and he did an exceptional job. He is very organized and thorough so you never feel like you're missing anything. We added uplighting and sparklers to our package and Paris tailored the color of the uplighting perfect to our wedding colors. Any song requests we had he was able to make happen for us. He read the crowd throughout the night to keep the energy going. We didn't want a DJ who would be loud/obnoxious throughout the reception, which we've experienced before and Paris was the exact opposite. He was very professional in every aspect. Our wedding was amazing and so many people were so excited about our DJ and the songs/vibe he had. We got so many compliments and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for any event. Thank you so much!!

Paris is awesome! Great with communication and having us be really involved and express what we were wanting. He read the room and played music that kept the party going. Really helped make our reception be the fun dance party we were hoping for. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful and Detail-Oriented DJ

Paris was amazing from start to finish! After we signed our contract with him he got straight to business by sending us a thick packet looking for information. He asked tons of thoughtful questions to get to know us better and even used it during the reception (he ran it by us first so we could approve what he would use). The comments he made were so thoughtful, and the music was perfect. He was prepared with lots of song suggestions for entrances and dances and we happily took several suggestions which made the selection process so much easier. He was flexible when we were slow to respond and when minor details changed last minute (as they do). Overall would highly recommend, neither of us could come up with any criticism and we were so thrilled!

Paris is the best!

Paris was the perfect choice DJ for us since day 1! He is very experienced and truly cares about making the best entertainment experience possible, in whatever way that looks like for you. After booking, Paris sent a huge packet with so many ideas and examples of songs/themes and activities to personalize the wedding...I know we appreciated the guidance! Paris was an extremely good communicator and very patient and flexible with our ever changing plans for our October 2020 wedding. We could not have asked for a better DJ! He accepted requests from our flower girl and ring bearer (with my permission) which really got the party going and kept the energy alive! Paris is an exceptional planner, walking through every step of our night with unique ideas for introductions to really personalize our wedding while keeping it classy and memorable! Any vision you have, Paris can accomplish it and exceed your expectations, 100% would recommend to anyone!!!

Paris is Amazing!!

Paris was an absolutely outstanding person to work with. From day one we could tell how much he loves what he does. After my husband and I hung up with him from our first phone meeting with him, we just knew he would be the perfect DJ for us. He was always available through email or phone calls to answer any questions we had through the planning process and really took the time to know us and our guests. He really planned a night around what would give us the most enjoyable time. He had great suggestions for the flow of the night, and I am so happy we listened to every suggestion he made.
We gave him a heads up that our group loved to dance, and the night of our wedding was no exception. He read the room perfectly and switched the music to dance music at the perfect time and kept the party going all night long to the point where the last dance of the night all of our 100 guests were still on the dance floor and no one wanted to leave. At our after party, people kept telling us how amazing he did and the mix of music he selected was perfect for the age range we had and he was able to pick songs from every generation that kept all ages on the floor.
We also selected to do the photobooth and that was one of the best decisions we made! Our guests loved it. His attendants were amazing at keeping everything organized. They also somehow kept the waiting line straight in their heads. If people were waiting for their turn, they encouraged them to go dance or grab a drink and they would grab them when it was their turn. There was never a line, yet it was never empty.
Finally – up lighting. When my husband and I walked into the room for the first time, we were just taken aback at how breathtaking the up lighting was. He had the perfect color that pulled the whole room together.
Overall, Paris was amazing to work with and the package he put together for us was outstanding. He is very easy to work with and as soon as we signed with him, my stress level went way down. He really helped put on a perfect night and I want to do it again!!

You need paris

Paris was absolutely amazing from the very start of our wedding planning process. He was one of the first vendors I connected with after booking our Venue. He was very quick to respond and even took the time to call and talk to me about all his different options. He did not once make me feel pressured to book with him, at the end of our initial call he told me different things to write down and ask other DJs while I was making my decision of who to book with. I felt this was very helpful and professional even though I did not make any more calls, my search started and stopped with Paris. Throughout the process he would send emails of the ideas if I needed help and would check in with the whole planning process. We used him for ceremony, cocktail and reception music, and also booked a photo booth through him. The photo booth attendants were amazing, we received a scrapbook at the end with notes from the guests and all pictures on a flash drive. He also helped my parents with coordinating two special Sign Language signed songs. He checked in with us throughout the wedding night, helped us decide if we needed to cut anything out (the shoe game) and was very accommodating throughout the night!! I cannot say enough about Paris!! He was absolutely amazing and would make your wedding day even better!! (Full disclosure, this review is late due to the fact of an injury on the honeymoon and a home move).

Excellent DJ!!!

Paris was absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommend! Extremely professional and organized which of course made things run super smooth! He was excellent at reading the crowd, and had the dance floor filled the entire night! He truly made our wedding day one to remember! And his assistants working the photo booth were excellent as well! The scrapbook of our guest in the photo booth is something I’ll cherish forever! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did to help make our day perfect!

Paris is awesome!

What to say about Paris – he’s a guy who LOVES his job and it is so clear. We used a lot of his services: DJ, photobooth and uplighting. I’ll try to address each.

One of the most important parts of our day was the music. We wanted our own touches everywhere – including some songs not normally part of Paris’ catalog. He went out of his way to find them all AND make sure they were the correct version. During the consultation and our final pre-wedding phone call, he relied on his experience to help tailor our event. He was able to get our friends on the dance floor – which was TOUGH considering how popular the photobooth was! His wedding planning packets are so thorough, and he goes through them with you line-by-line to make sure everyone is on the same page.

The photobooth! What a hit. His attendants were great at helping get people in there, making sure the bridal party was able to get involved, etc. The props were popular and a good assortment. This was a late addition to our package and probably one of the best decisions we made. It was so convenient and easy to work with Paris on adding this.

Finally – the uplighting. My husband was insistent on ambiance and he got it. Paris worked with us to get the exact tone and mood we were going for. The ballroom looked breathtaking. I got so many compliments on the uplighting package.

All in all, Paris offered a complete weddings package that really made our whole day go so smoothly. He’s more than an emcee/DJ, he provides an EXPERIENCE. Go with Paris – you won’t regret it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Absolutely amazing, you can see he knows what he is doing and makes for a stress free with a well organized night for the bride and groom. PROFESSIONAL is SYNONYMOUS WITH PARIS! He works well with couples to make everything they imagine come true, I know its hard to pick vendors for this big day But if you can get DJ PARIS for your wedding you and your guests will never forget what an amazing night it was. I am looking to working with him again, because like me, he knows that we are not important, but the couple is!

Lois Heckman, Celebrant Lois Heckman, Celebrant Wedding Officiants

Paris is a complete professional! I've worked with him at many weddings and he knows when to step forward and when to step back. He understands that the wedding is not about him, but about you, the couple! He is a generous and kind person as well. I highly recommend Paris!
