DJ Services By Paul Young

5.0

Chaska, MN
  • DJ
  • Starts at $695

I’ve done over 3000 weddings, and this experience pays off in many ways, from musical knowledge to skills required to mix the music in exciting ways. As I “read the room” I take requests, and time the playing of each track based on YOUR taste in music- I guarantee to follow your “must play” list, “do not play” list. Unlimited, personal planning time is included with me, personally, who will be your actual DJ (not a subcontractor).

Awarded Best of Zola
Paul was wonderful to work with for our wedding! He was willing to meet with me as many times as needed to make sure we had everything covered for our reception. He did a great job emceeing as well as playing music. He is very detailed and organized, and can definitely go with the flow! I can’t recommend him enough! We had people telling us all night and after our wedding how great he was!

He came ready to keep the party going! He not only listened to our vision for the day but he made it come true. Everything from the ceremony to social hour to reception was beautiful. He played the songs we wanted and kept us on the dance floor. It truly was a magical day and we are so glad we had him there to share it with us. BOOK NTE for your event!

Percolators Band

Minneapolis, MN

  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Forest Lake, MN

The Legendary percolators play refreshing “60’s on up” rock, country, R&B, pretty ballads, and requests. Trio (nice 3-part harmonies). Since 1992. Positive energy, engaging, fun. Self-sufficient with sound system & lights. Not too loud - just right.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had a wonderful experience with the Percolators who performed at our wedding reception. They provided us with a wide variety of song recommendations, allowing us to pick just the right feel for our event. They are very versatile and do a great job of "reading the crowd" to know when to speed things up or slow them down, and they bring so much fun to their performance. They also confirmed all of the logistics directly with the venue and were timely in their set-up and take down, allowing us to focus on our special day instead of worrying about the behind the scenes needs. We highly recommend them!

Golden Touch DJ Entertainment

Plymouth, MN
  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,400
  • Serves Forest Lake, MN

Welcome to Golden Touch DJ, where Minnesota DJ Bill Young has dazzled guests of weddings and many other events in the Twin Cities (and surrounding area) for more than 15 years. Bill’s journey as a DJ started years ago when he was a professional dancer. Also born into a musical family, Bill instinctively knows how to get a crowd going—reading people and intuitively choosing songs to get them out of their chairs and onto the dance floors until the party’s over.

I would highly recommend Bill from Golden Touch DJ. He was super attentive to details from start to finish, and had many helpful suggestions. We were thrilled with his services and had a very fun wedding reception with Bill leading the event!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

DJ DAS is one of our very favorite DJS. As a Venue Owner it is very important that the DJ our Booked Couples hire make their guests enjoy the evening. After 50 wedding+ we know that all DJS are not created equal. When we view our Booked Couples Wedding Planner they submit to us a few weeks before the wedding there are 2 places we quickly glance at to determine it is going to be a good event. The first is the caterer and the second is the DJ. If their DJ spot says "DJ DAS" then we know its going to be a good wedding reception. Because when DJ DAS is in the house everyone is happy!
