    Make your event the best with Paul Strolia and music, talent!!

    We recently hired Paul for a wonderful rehearsal dinner party on a gigantic ship! From the moment everyone boarded the boat until they left Paul entertained non-stop. He literally played music for everyone…he learned our requests and even was able to DJ songs. We weren’t even finished eating and people were already dancing! It sounded great, looked great and everyone had a phenomenal time! We would recommend him for any occasion! 50 Stars all around.

    Jill, it was truly a pleasure being a part of this fantastic night! My goal was for people to say “wow “ from the first second that they walked in! It was fun watching the reactions to different songs and all the dancing and singing along! Thanks for having me!

    Played at my wedding at the Waldorf Astoria

    Paul went above and beyond !! He was excellent and kept the party going for an energetic event. Everyone loved him and he was so professional!! The place was rocking all night. He did as much as any full band and we are so thankful he made our evening special.

    Paul Strolia's reply:

    Kim, it was such a fun time! I love that you were nervous about me doing your first day song, but glad that you trusted me! It was beautiful! I enjoyed that your guests stood up and danced during dinner if there was a song that they enjoyed 😂 You guys were all so nice easy your mother-in-law! It looked beautiful too. I’m glad I was able to position those lights throughout the room! Hava Nagila will always be a special memory and you guys walking in to September! I love singing that song! Thanks for having me! It was truly fun and beautiful!

    Highly Recommended!

    We had the honor of Paul playing at our wedding. Paul brought so much energy, great performance, and personalization to our day which made it unforgettable! Everyone was amazed by his talent and wide variety of music which he knew and was able to sing amazingly! He also has such a beautiful display with our photo and wedding date on it.
    Thank you for making our special day absolutely amazing!
    Highly Recommend!

    Colleen, nothing better than a NYE wedding! Everyone was in the mood for a great time! I loved that you had it at Jen’s Guesthouse because I’ve sang there many times and new how to set it up best for you! I’m glad that I was able to learn those special songs for you guys! Everyone was so nice and it was nice when you surprised me at Kelly’s before! Thanks for such a nice time and for having me!

    Great Experience!

    Paul got everyone going and in a party mood at our Wedding Reception!

    Who would have thought that it could’ve been more fun than we expected? Seeing everyone singing along and dancing around us is a fond memory that we’ll never forget! If he could do this for us, he can definitely do it for you! Highly recommended!

    Paul Strolia's reply:

    Nina and John, I’ll remember many things about your reception and wedding ceremony, but most of all hope it was a blast surprising your guests with that sing-a-long Summer of 69 change of words… I love that everyone grabbed onto those words immediately and sang them at the top of their lungs! Thanks for the rehearsal dinner Night too. What a great weekend!

    Excellent!

    Paul drove out from Chicago a venue in North Central Indiana and set up a great sounding system with nice lighting and a video monitor with a professionally edited image of the bride and groom. He learned a special song for us that made this Mother of the Groom cry! Paul is a very talented musician and has a beautiful voice. We all sang along the whole night and really enjoyed everything from the piano songs for the dinner, to the dance songs. He even did an after reception concert for us of specially requested songs. Everyone enjoyed the night very much, Paul made our night very special!

    Lori, what a magical setup you had for this wonderful wedding reception! I enjoyed setting up and spacing the speakers out throughout the yard and setting Up that lighting! I loved everyone’s surprise at seeing the tv screen image that I had photoshopped… and that so many guests took pictures with it. I don’t always get to play my Les Paul at Weddings, but you guys were truly music lovers. I very much enjoyed that magical evening! Thanks for having me!

    Singer /Musician/MC

    Paul was our entertainment for our 35th anniversary party held at Benihana Milwaukee and the next year my daughters outside wedding in Barrington Hills He was great. Met with us beforehand to discuss what songs etc. At both events our guests raved about how enjoyable and knowledgeable he was. Would recommend him to any event. Can’t wait to hire him at our next event!

    Paul Strolia's reply:

    It’s been a pleasure working with you as well! I really enjoyed both unique experiences. Benihana’s and the wedding by the lake and big tent! It was very fun and I was glad to be a part of all aspects of them! Thanks for having me!

    Paul was amazing!

    “We hired Paul for our wedding that was held at a beautiful vineyard! He did the service (thankfully he had a second sound system that he set up for it as it was in a different location) , and he also did cocktail hour, dinner and the reception. We had a special dance worked out for our first dance and he was able to play it exactly like we learned it) . We had a wonderful wedding and Paul did everything to make it extra special!”

    Paul Strolia's reply:

    Alex, what a unique experience of being at a vineyard for your wedding! I loved that you trusted me even though you practiced your dance with the original recording! The ceremony was beautiful and I enjoyed watching your guests listening during the dinner music! Reception was a blast too. I’d say let’s do it again but 😂 that’s the one thing we don’t want to do again 😂 and seeing that you have a beautiful daughter and another one on the way is awesome! Thanks for having me!
