Dan and his assistant Alexandra did everything we asked of them. they made the party get off to great start and continued throughout the evening. They were in tune with our guests and played every request they were given. If you just need a DJ call another one, but if you want a DJ that knows what he is doing then call Dr. D.J. Paulish. Thanks Dan.

Dan provided exceptional DJ services for my in-laws 50th wedding anniversary party. Couldn't have asked for better - Dan was responsive prior to event, on time, and with his direction the party ran seemlessly. He provided music and lighting that exceeded our expectations. I'd recommend Dan in a heartbeat!

DJ Dan was awesome to work with! He was our DJ for our wedding in early December. He is very kind and very accommodating. His service was excellent and he responded to my messages, emails and calls right away. Everyone loved the music selection and the party was a big hit. Dan even sent us a cd of the best music from our big day as a gift. It was perfect! We highly recommend his DJ service and we hope to work with him again one day. And FYI for an old guy he's pretty badass.

I would absolutely recommend booking Dr. DJ Paulish Entertainment for you DJ/MC needs! He just did our wedding reception on 10/22/2016 and I'm here to sing his praises. He is truly receptive to each and every detail you want in your special day. He is extremely laid back and makes life exponentially easier during the hectic wedding planning time. The reception ran flawlessly, his uplighting looked amazing and he got everyone on the dance floor and having a great time! Even before our wedding, he was great to work with meeting me in person and over the phone to make sure every last detail was covered. Thank you Dan for everything!!!!

Dr. Dan is a consummate professional. He was one of over a dozen DJs we considered to provide MC and DJ services for my high school class 40 year reunion. We reviewed his credentials (the only one with a PhD in Electrical Engineering) and compared his experience and reviews with the others and he came out at the top of the list. The best part is that he was also the most reasonably priced of the group. Months before the event, Dr. Dan met personally as well as corresponded with the committee to formulate a plan. He visited the venue and took careful notes about its features, the type of music we wanted, the special recognition segments, and offered very valuable suggestions drawn from his years of experience. His equipment and music library is top notch and he has music for any kind of event. On the day of the event, Dr. Dan showed up an hour and fifteen minutes early to set up the equipment and do the sound checks. That evening, he brought along a trainee, Amanda, a lovely young lady, who assisted him throughout the event. Amanda had not originally been part of the contract with us; however, he asked for permission before bringing her and did not charge us an additional fee. Dr. Dan followed the plan as closely as possible and adjusted it according to our requests. During the event, situations arose and he quickly and seamlessly adapted to the changes. As an example, we had a classmate who fancied himself a standup comic and proceeded, with the committee's reluctant approval; to launch into an obscenity laced routine that was inappropriate and uncomfortable. Dr. Dan, sensing the change in the attitude of the party, politely yet assertively, regained control of the microphone and actually asked the audience to give the "comic" a hand as he escorted him off the stage. He stepped in and saved what could have been a potentially catastrophic situation. He was in constant communication with the committee throughout the evening (at our request) to make sure everything was going the way we wanted. Thanks to Dr. Dan, the event was an enormous success and the venue owner had to practically kick us out because nobody wanted to leave. I cannot adequately express how grateful we are for Dr. Dans professionalism but most importantly, he is a sincerely nice guy. It was a pleasure working with him and I highly recommend him.
