β€œMy husband found Ceasar's company online. He was happy to hop on a FaceTime call with us to talk about his DJ services. We love EDM and house music and he was very knowledgable about all the music we talked about! We asked if we can make playlists for everything and it was super easy to send stuff over to him, to play during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. He was AWESOME at introductions and did a great job of trying to stick with our schedule and being flexible. We also got the photobooth service from him and the pictures turned out amazing!! He sent us a link with all the pictures from the night, which we enjoyed looking at. He even sent a few videos! We also got the glow sticks and the crowd loved them!”

From the very first interaction, their communication was quick, friendly, and super detailed - they clearly cared about making our day perfect. And that's exactly what they delivered. I chose to have live piano and violin at my ceremony and they sounded beautiful together. They played every song I requested with depth and precision- even the fairly new music (I requested Birds of a Feather for the recessional, and they NAILED it!) They provided mics to the musicians and the officiant stand, which ended up being a lifesaver for us. The DJ and violinist were both fun and talented, keeping the dance floor packed all night long. DJ Servaun in particular did an amazing job matching the vibes, emceeing, and balancing in the moment song requests with a killer playlist. Get the DJ with Musician accompaniment package!! The electric violin player lit up the dance floor & guests LOVED it! Quote: β€œBest wedding I’ve ever been to! I’ve never been to a wedding where β€˜Not Like Us’ got a violin accompaniment”. I also used Funktastic for our photobooth service and it was one of the most popular parts of the wedding.

In our first call, he took time to ask us about our vision and used that to tailor his recommendations. After booking with Paul, he provides you with access to a portal that lets you easily organize all the planned music as well as give him guidance for must plays, like to hear, do not play, etc. It also has a section where you can see popular songs for various parts of the wedding and/or for different genres, which we really needed and appreciated.

He was the perfect blend of energetic but not at all obnoxious (have definitely seen corny DJs at other weddings - this is NOT Paul), his assistant was great, and he worked side by side not only with us but also our other vendors and coordinators. Not exaggerating that close to a dozen guests raved about Paul specifically. Direct quote the next morning from a guest from New Jersey for our Chicago wedding: "He was FANTASTIC, I'm gonna fly him out for our anniversary party!" While I'm not sure if Paul's radius extends that far, I am sure it would be the East Coast's loss. You can't go wrong.”

They’re also familiar with both obscure and pop music so they knew exactly how match the vibe of my β€œeclectic middle-aged” guest list.
