    Kept the Dance Floor Packed All Night Long!

    Patrick absolutely crushed it! The music was incredible throughout our entire day, and we keep hearing from guests about how perfect everything sounded. He nailed everything we asked for—from all our specific song requests to making the parade exactly what we envisioned. Those special touches he added to honor the people who couldn't be there with us were so thoughtful and meaningful.

    The dance floor was absolutely packed the entire night! Everyone keeps telling us it was the best wedding music they've ever experienced, and that's all thanks to him reading the room perfectly and keeping the energy going. He also worked with us through all the craziness of my cancer delays without missing a beat, which just shows what a pro he is.

    If you want your guests dancing all night long and talking about your wedding for weeks after, Patrick is your guy!

    Dj patrick is the best!

    The most important vendor to me was the DJ. I made sure to book DJ Patrick over a year in advance. DJ Patrick was so easy to work with and he knew the wedding venue inside and out. He was super thorough and made sure to get a good understand of the music I liked, but also the music that guests would respond to. It was clear to see the amount of work that he put in before and during the wedding because everyone could not stop complimenting how awesome of a job he did. Thank you, DJ Patrick!!!

    The dj you need

    Patrick is the DJ you NEED for your event. Patrick provided excellent music, fun lighting, and a high quality experience for us and our wedding guests. Prior to our event, he was easy to communicate with and helped ease a lot of our fears before the event. We were able to provide him with songs we wanted and did not want, and he filled in the rest for the party. On top of that, he has high quality equipment that made our ceremony easy for everyone to hear. Patrick is so great that when our other vendors found out he was the DJ, they were relieved as they know he consistently provides great work. BOOK PATRICK for your next event, he provides excellent service at a fair value!

    The Premier Santa Barbara/Carpinteria DJ!

    We got married at Rincon Beach Club in September 2023, and DJ Patrick came heavily recommended by our venue. I have to preface and say that my husband loves to DJ, and has DJ’ed weddings in the past; this means he is very particular when it comes to sound and lighting, and was responsible for finding our wedding DJ. With that said, DJ Patrick knocked it out of the park! Our audio was crisp, from the beach ceremony to our garden reception speeches, timing for every song and moment was on point, and he had the dance floor going even after the event ended! The best part was that he allowed my husband to have a DJ set during our wedding, and helped make his dreams come true. He even asked us for my husbands logo and had it up while he got to DJ! We would highly recommend DJ Patrick Butler to any prospective couples in the area!

    Best Wedding DJ!

    My wedding was last year and Patrick was a dream to work with! He is so kind, profressional, organized, and energetic! He was attentive to everything that I asked for and took the worry out of music planning. I would recommend him to DJ any wedding! You won't regret it :)

    Wonderful, communicative, and excellent choice in music!

    I can't sing enough praises about Patrick! I originally met him over ten years ago for my best friend's wedding, and he was so fabulous back then that ten years later - I HAD to have him DJ my wedding. I can't even begin to tell you how amazing he is, but I'll certainly try!

    I planned to surprise my husband by singing Adam Sandler's "I Want to Grow Old with You" instead of our first dance (my husband and I are not dancers), and he made my 'karaoke-at-our-wedding' dreams come true. I talked extensively with him ahead of time and noted which songs I wanted to be played during certain times/events, then ran through a list of songs to play throughout the night for dancing, and then allowed him to use his best judgment on fun dance songs as well. He delivered ten-fold! Everyone at our wedding, from our older parents to the younger crowd, loved all of the music. EVERYONE danced! Patrick was an absolute pleasure to work with - an all-around wonderful human who is so very intuitive and considerate of who he's DJing for. He will flawlessly make sure your wedding or event is exactly what you dreamed of. There aren't enough stars to cover how exemplary he is!

    DJ Patrick is the BEST!

    DJ Patrick was a great addition to our amazing wedding day! He was wonderful to work with leading up to our wedding and the music was great all night long! Our dance floor stayed packed and it was all thanks to him! I highly recommend Patrick if you’re looking for a great DJ! Also, we added on the photo booth to our package and it was such a hit with our guests and some of our favorite photos from the night!

    The best DJ we could’ve found!

    DJ Patrick made our wedding so much FUN! People are still talking about how they couldn’t stay off the dance floor! He is so good at what he does. We went to make a list of the songs we wanted to hear, and while we gave him a “must play” list, we left the rest up to him. He knocked it out of the park! Thank you so much for making our wedding so special!

    Incredible DJ

    Patrick did an outstanding job at our wedding. He brought amazing energy and kept the tunes pumping all night. Everybody kept telling us how much fun they had on the dance floor! We would 10/10 recommend Patrick for any wedding! His new video set attached to the DJ table is also really cool; offered a very clean and sleek look to the DJ area.

    Amazing DJ!!

    DJ Patrick rocks! He definitely had the all the tools for us to easily create the perfect playlist for our wedding reception. Once playlist was made he did his magic and created and displayed an amazing sound stage, ambience, and show.
    DJ Patrick was very easy to work with, professional and very fun guy. He understood our needs and provided suggestions and ideas to help bring everything together. We didn’t feel alone when setting up the events music and dance as he was with us through email, text, or phone and followed up with us up to the day of the wedding to make sure it was perfect.
    I recommend DJ Patrick for any event and will use him again in the future! All our guests from our wedding kept coming back to complement on how awesome the DJ and music arrangement was done. They had a blast and couldn’t stay off the dance floor. They loved the DJ! Thank you DJ Patrick!!!

    The Best DJ ever

    I can't give Patrick enough props. He made our beach ceremony and garden wedding the event of the season. People were asking for the playlist for days afterwards. There was never a moment that there wasn't a full dance floor. My friends and I had high expectations for the level of music and dancing and we were not disappointed! We felt like we were at an awesome bar. So much fun. He is great and communicative and honestly made me feel like everything was going to be ok when I was stressing. Best DJ, highly recommend!

    A must hire!

    Patrick is a dream to work with, we hired him a full year in advance and he checked in every step of the way. Patrick was always available and willing to answer any of our questions. He is an extremely skilled DJ and knows exactly how to blend each song amazingly. Our wedding was so fun because of him and he had people dancing all night long!!! He also knows the Rincon beach club super well and can execute any style ceremony (beach or garden). He was a great MC as well which is a tall task!!! Thank you, Patrick, we will always keep you in mind for any event we have in our future!!!

    Amazing!

    We loved working with Patrick for our event at the Rincon Beach Club! He helped us through the full planning process and executed everything absolutely perfectly! He even did a prep call with us prior to make sure everything was all set and ready to go! He made our event so much fun and I would highly highly recommend for your own event!

    An amazing DJ who came recommended by all of Santa Barbara

    I can't overstate how much all of our guests loved the way Patrick orchestrated our wedding. From cocktail hour, to dinner, to the opening of the dance floor, Patrick took our playlists we shared with him and elevated them to a party-level. Patrick is a man that intimately cares about people having the best possible time at your event and he gave his professional opinion throughout planning to help us smooth out the unfinished parts of our wedding ceremony like entrance/exits, big dances during the reception, and how to balance the music throughout the evening.

    In a city with a ton of options for wedding DJs, he came very highly recommended not only by our coordinator but all of our other vendors lit up when we told them Patrick was hired for our wedding. Having worked our venue many times before, he came prepared with the right equipment to suit the different settings of ceremony and reception with a focus on clear audio for all speeches and songs. Thank you so much Patrick!

    Dj patrick is amazing!

    I hired DJ Patrick for my wedding in Santa Barbara and it proved to be one of the best decisions we made. He was so helpful, knowledgeable, and easygoing. I highly suggest working with him - he was great at listening to our music suggestions and making suggestions based on it. He was also the perfect emcee and handled all of our audiovisual needs.

    Everybody was Dancing the Whole Night

    We hired Patrick on a recommendation from our venue the El Paseo Restaurant. Patrick was responsive right away and genuinely impressed us with his knowledge, experience and professionalism. My husband is Afghan and I'm Mexican and German so we were going for a "swap meet chic" vibe; oldies, random afghan songs, Banda and Pony by Ginuwine. Patrick had something for everyone and from the very first song, everyone was on the dance floor the whole night. We only chose about 10 songs we knew we wanted and he filled in the rest. There was no other vendor that night who we trusted more than Patrick. I honestly believe it was the most fun wedding most people there had ever been to. We also last minute opted to the photo booth which was amazing and so fun. OH! And the power went out for about 10 mins in the entire City of SB and by the time it came back on, Patrick had already secured a generator to keep the party going.

    Super professional and responsive!

    We hired Patrick for our August wedding at Rincon Beach Club. He came highly recommended by the venue and we can see why. He was great! Super professional and responsive. We had a few calls with him to discuss logistics, he provided some suggestions for some our songs, and sent links to different versions of songs so that we could make sure we were getting the right version. He also handled all the sound for our ceremony on the beach. We also changed up the plan slightly the night before and day of, and it was no problem -- he was on top of it. Thank you, Patrick!

    Super fun and easy-going to work with

    DJ Patrick came to us via a recommendation from our wedding coordinator. Luckily, he was available for our date and had been married at our venue a few years prior! We had a couple phone calls to go over what we were looking for and then I just filled out his planning form online in terms of the songs for certain parts and what events we would be having. A few days prior we had another phone call to finalize details and he was super helpful in finding instrumental versions of the songs I was looking for. He kept the party going and there wasn't a lag or bad song progression the whole night.

    Best DJ for Your Event!

    I can’t say enough nice things about Patrick. From start to finish he was an absolute pleasure to work with. He DJd our wedding and not only kept the crowd dancing the whole night but was an amazing MC. During the planning process he was open to suggestions, offered to meet in person, and even put together a special mix for a funny father daughter dance idea I had. He went above and beyond for us and made our day so special. His prices are also very reasonable and he offers special lighting packages and even a photo booth. You won’t regret booking him for your next event!

    Having DJ Patrick host our wedding was one of the best decisions we could have made. He was so easy to talk to and coordinate what type of music best fit our style. He was excellent at reading our guests taste. His communication was amazing during the wedding which made for a seamless day from beginning to end. All our guests (English and Spanish speakers) just had a blast on the dance floor which made for the perfect night. You will certainly be so glad to have him host your event!

    Patrick is amazing! He made it easy to meet up and wasn't annoyed when we already had a huge list of music requested. He nailed timing the dance and intro songs, all the transitions and announcements were smooth and professional. He even schemed with my bride so that the bridal party and in fact all the women in attendance could do a secretly choreographed dance! Definitely give him a call!

    Dj Patrick helped to make our night a dream come true! He executed our musical vision perfectly and kept everyone moving until the party came to its close. Super friendly, personable, open to ideas and suggestions, extremely responsive and professional! Not only was I completely at ease knowing a lot of the cadence of the day was in his hands, he was totally accommodating to our crowd, our requests and for reading the natural flow of the evening. He just "got it". AMAZING and HIGHLY recommend, there are not enough words to express our gratitude!

    We loved working with Patrick and highly recommend him! Leading up to the wedding, he was very responsive to emails and calls ,and helped us think through everything from the music during the ceremony to the last song of the night. He was extremely professional. He kept the night flowing and kept people on the dance floor all night! We had a big range of ages at our wedding and everyone had a fantastic time. We heard from many of our guests how great Patrick was! The DJ and music are so important to making a wedding fun and keeping the party going - Patrick did this so seamlessly, he really made our night absolutely perfect!

    Patrick did an amazing job at our wedding last Saturday at Rockwood in Santa Barbara. He was extremely easy to work with leading up to the wedding and made the whole process really simple. He was fantastic at our ceremony and especially the reception. I would HIGHLY recommend him if you want a fun wedding reception!

    We hired Patrick as the DJ for both our wedding ceremony and reception and he was awesome!! He was so easy to work with and very responsive when we had questions. His website made choosing all of our songs a breeze! He also did a great job with the reception introductions and keeping everything moving on time. We had a mix of songs in both Spanish and English and Patrick varied everything throughout the night perfectly so the dance floor was always full, we couldn't have been happier!

    I got married Friday, March 11th, 2016 in Santa Barbara, CA. Not being from Santa Barbara, I asked my wedding venue coordinator if he knew or could recommend a DJ. I am extremely happy that I asked because Patrick did not disappoint one bit. He is professional, easy to work with and knows weddings. When I had no idea what songs to play for certain things he was great with suggestions and input. He made everything from the ceremony to the last dance go extremely smooth. Any "day of" change was done without a hitch. We are also extremely happy that we added the Photo Booth he recommended! It was a complete hit(all the included props were hilarious) and after it prints two sets of photo strips(With the date and our names), one is kept by our guests, the other is put in a photo book included with the Photo Booth where everyone writes little notes next to their photo strip. The photo book is then handed to us at the end of the night as a keepsake. The laughs over the pictures and messages are priceless and something we will enjoy looking at forever. I would recommend Patrick in a heartbeat!

    Patrick was constantly in enthusiasm and interested in making the entire event flowing without any stops. It was so appreciated how much care and interest he took and even went beyond DJ activities and helped to coordinate different activities, bringing his wife and her ensuring I walked down the aisle at the right time. I kept hearing how fun the environment felt and people I didn't think would dance got up and started dancing due to his choice of music.

    I highly recommend Patrick for all of his highly professional work and never once gave me any problems!

    This review is coming way too late but both my Wife and I could not recommend DJ Patrick more. He was awesome at the wedding and great to work with. My wife had a conversation with him once before the wedding and we sent him the list of songs and he was on top of it the whole time. He even was receptive to the random requests from family at the wedding. Not a single bad thing to say about him. I highly recommend him as your DJ. I have been to other weddings and heard the coupe having issues with their DJ and not one of those issues happened here. If we ever get to have an event in Santa Barbara again we would definitely call him up. Awesome experience and perfect to work with!

    Patrick was the best wedding DJ! From the initial contact, through the booking process, to the song selection he was professional and went above and beyond to make sure our wedding was perfect. He was also so friendly and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process - I really cannot speak highly enough about his professionalism.

    The wedding itself had a great vibe - and it was in large part due to his extensive abilities. He kept the energy up on the dance floor, and we received tons of compliments on the tone that he set.

    He also did the sound for our ceremony, which was flawless. Our ceremony was on the beach, and he confidently handled the challenge.

    I cannot recommend him highly enough. Absolutely wonderful!

    DJ Patrick Butler was incredible! We got so lucky he was available for our wedding! Patrick is so easy to work with, professional and personable. He did an outstanding job and after corresponding and meeting with him, I knew I had nothing to worry about because he knew what to do! He played all the songs we had requested, stayed away from the songs we told him we didn't want (even when one persistent guest continued to beg, thank you Patrick!). He was able to read our crowd and play exactly what our guests wanted to keep the dance floor packed. I would use Patrick again without hesitation and would recommend him to anyone.

    We love Patrick! He was so organized and helpful in the planning process and when it came to our big day it was flawless. He kept us on track the entire day and kept the dance floor packed all night long! We would and have recommended him as the perfect dj that really understands how to read a crowd. Super accommodating and has every song you could ever think of. Couldn't be more pleased with who we picked for our wedding day!!!

    Patrick's DJ service was an absolute highlight to our wedding day. The quality of music was an important element for us at our reception and Patrick exceeded our expectations. He listened to all of our suggestions and filled in the gaps with what he knew would mix well with our styles of music. It was great! Our guests to this day compliment on how great the music was at our wedding. Thanks Patrick!

    My husband and I LOVED Patrick! He was very helpful in answering any questions we had and also gave us some great suggestions. His music data base allowed us to organize the songs we wanted him to play versus the ones we wanted to avoid. He did a great job mixing both Spanish and English songs for us; the dance floor was never empty! His announcing ability was amazing and he knew the right things to say at the right time. Thanks to Patrick our wedding day was a success. Overall, he was very flexible and easy to work with; I would definitely recommend him!!!

    Patrick was fantastic! His website was very useful for picking our music, and he was very helpful with some quick follow-up phone calls the week before the wedding to double check everything.

    The day of the event he rocked! He was there when everything was being set up to check on any final changes, and did an amazing job during our ceremony and reception. Our 5 year old ring bearer surprised us by being a dancing machine, and Patrick did a great job of balancing his requests with what the other guests wanted to hear. Our dance floor was always full, and everyone had a blast!

    Oh, and did I mention that his prices were well below the other DJs we found in Santa Barbara!

    I would definitely hire Patrick again!

    I couldn't have asked for a better DJ than Patrick. From the very beginning of working together, he was incredibly easy to work with. He has a great set of online tools that allow you to select songs, mark them as "green" (definitely play), "yellow" (play if you have time), or "red" (don't play). On top of the color assignments, you could also attach a note to each and every song, like "play this one at the transition between dinner and dancing" or "don't play this one if my grandma is still at the party". The tool was really easy and fun to use, and my husband and I went crazy uploading all of our favorite songs.

    As the day drew closer, Patrick checked in with us, and asked us lots of questions we wouldn't even have thought to address. He told us he has been DJing since he was 13 years old, so he has a ton of experience. He is personable, funny, and so incredibly easy to feel comfortable with. Most importantly, I really felt that he understood the feel that we were going for with the wedding. My husband and I are both huge music fanatics, and to have someone else understand what we were trying to do with the music was vitally important to us. Patrick just GOT it. That is one of the highest compliments I can give him.

    The day of was perfect. Patrick has excellent equipment to use both for the party AND outdoors for our ceremony, and the sound quality was great. He was able to help control the flow of events and make announcements without sounding anything remotely like the cheesy wedding DJs I have encountered before. He read the crowd so well, and had everybody on their feet dancing. Even people I thought I would NEVER see dancing were out there! I never dreamed my wedding could be so much fun.

    And if all that he had already done for us wasn't enough, Patrick also helped us set up an after party at a nearby club where he works. Our venue had to close at 10 and we wanted to keep the party going, so Patrick helped us and our friends seamlessly transition over to a new space, and we continued having a blast. How's that for service??

    Seriously, I'm convinced there is no better DJ in all of Santa Barbara than Patrick. Hire him!

    We LOVED DJ Patrick. He was the perfect choice for our wedding. Not only was he a great DJ (read the audience well, music selection was great) he is a wonderful person. He's easy to work with, made me feel at ease, which was great since there are so many things to think about when planning a wedding. If I were to ever have another event where I needed a DJ, I would plan around his schedule. I was very pleased with the service he provided.

    Patrick is not only an amazing DJ, but great person. My [now] husband & I were so comfortable upon our first meet with Patrick that he was hired on the spot and we had no reason to look elsewhere. He was easy to work with and gave us great ideas to make our wedding even better than we imagined. Patrick not only put on a great "show" for our reception, but also provided us with our ceremony music, which went perfectly also. Awesome music, awesome lighting, awesome video equipment, awesome guy. I cannot thank him enough for all the work he put into making our wedding special. We were beyond happy!
    Your wedding day goes by so quickly, with so many things happening at once that you can't help but look back once it's over and wish you did this or that..PMDJ was the one thing that was perfect on my wedding day. We will definately recommend Patrick to anyone who needs DJ services without hesitation and hope one day we have the pleasure of working with him again.

    Patrick was amazing to work with from the consultation to the wedding day. We had quite a bit of country mixed into our playlist which threw some of our guests off but he kept the evening rolling and helped us with our day-of scheduling.

    I don't think I could have picked a better DJ!! EVERYONE at the wedding loved the music and we danced the entire night. Patrick did a fantastic job reading the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor. And he wasn't obtrusive AT ALL which was important. His rates are so reasonable as well!

    Patrick was a joy to work with! My husband and I felt like we may have put off the music selection til too late in the game, but Patrick reassured us that we were okay. He called us before the wedding to confirm if we wanted any songs cut down in length (thankfully) and on the day of, you would have never known they weren't the original length because he cut them so well. I actually didn't meet Patrick til he came up to my husband and I at the head table, and at that point he had already run our ceremony and cocktail hour flawlessly! I was nervous about people dancing, but he played great music and people kept saying how awesome his music choices were. He really listened to our likes and dislikes and made sure to keep the party going. Our venue had a very strict noise ordinance but he stayed within that and even put on an awesome light show on the mountains after. I was so nervous about music, but he made me feel so comfortable!

    We hired Patrick as our wedding DJ after attending a friend's wedding that he worked at. We could not have been happier with our choice. Patrick was extremely professional, always responded to our calls or e-mails promptly, and selected music that fit our wedding perfectly. We met with him a few months prior to our wedding and immediately felt like we could trust him to keep the night flowing and make sure guests were having fun on the dance floor. We would definitely hire him again!
