Paul Michaels Events DJ and Photobooth Company 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Wood Dale, IL

At Paul Michaels Events, we specialize in crafting unforgettable wedding celebrations that are as unique as each couple. With years of experience, a professional team, and a passion for creating the perfect atmosphere, we ensure your big day is seamless, stress-free, and filled with amazing memories. From personalized playlists to packed dance floors, we pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service and a celebration you and your guests will never forget.

Can't say enough great things about Paul! From start to finish, Paul put my fiance and I at ease with his expertise and advice. 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. After that, you meet with Paul to cover your selections and nail down more of the timeline for the day itself. Organized to a T. Most importantly, Paul read the dance floor perfectly, responding and adapting to the vibe as the night went on. 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.

Except my husband says I am a horrible listener but I think that's just to him! I love cats, craft beer, burlesque and radical self care!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Melissa working in the industry on one of the most difficult shoots I've ever been on. That night she was a total professional and amazing photographer and we quickly bonded. I trust her so much that when it was time for my wedding she was who I asked to capture it. She travelled to France to photograph our wedding and was there like one of our family. She kept us calm and having fun in the stressful moments and her creativity made some of the most incredible wedding photos we could have imagined. Now years later Melissa is the person we call first when it is time to capture our family growing. If her photographs aren't enough to convince you, take it from someone who filmed weddings for 13 years; Melissa is the person you want capturing your day.

Festa AI is your wedding’s behind-the-scenes communication assistant, helping you run your wedding on auto-pilot. We help couples manage all the guest-related chaos—like answering FAQs (“What’s the dress code?”), sending out text updates, and even collecting money for the honeymoon fund or registry. No apps for guests to download, no group chats to manage—just simple, smart messaging that keeps everyone in the loop.

I’ll be honest: when my fiancé suggested using an AI texting assistant for our wedding, I rolled my eyes. I pictured something clunky or robotic. But Festa turned out to be a genuinely helpful tool. Guests could text questions and get instant, accurate answers — no one had to call us or bug our planner about shuttle times or dress code. When we ran into a small issue setting it up, the founders responded quickly and kindly (yes, real humans!). They’re clearly trying to build something thoughtful, not just flashy tech for tech’s sake. Would use it again in a heartbeat.

We could not have been happier with the services and product we received!

Nora made the process as easy as humanly possible and very comfortable. She was able to read us easily and could tell when the group was getting restless and even could tell if I wanted certain photos without me saying. Nora was the only photographer but managed to capture all the photos we could have hoped for. The ceremony photos were beautiful but the reception photos perfectly captured the night. The quality of the photos when we got them was spectacular. Additionally, the entirety of the photos were sent to us within just over 4 weeks despite the fact that they had 8 weeks.

We stumbled on Alyssa on instagram and WOW we were impressed! She responded so quickly to our emails and we were able to schedule a session with her so soon. She gave us a little sneak peak of our gallery the same day we were so surprised. We will be recommending Alyssa!
