    "In 2021, my wife and I just graduated from college, and we were planning a wedding that same summer. Paul went out of his way to make sure we had an affordable, professional, and reliable DJ. My family and friends were all extremely impressed, and for the first time in my life I was able to see my father dance. Hands down best DJ in the area!"

    "Wow. Paul and his assistant Jen blew all of my expectations out of the water! We just had our wedding on October 4th and found Paul through a business networking group. I told them I wanted people to almost forget they had to go to the bathroom because they are dancing so much and man did they deliver! Our wedding day was so perfect and a lot of that is due to DJ Dr. Data! Paul and Jen were so organized and on top of everything from beginning of the ceremony to the final song of the evening! I couldn’t have asked for a better DJ team! On top of the amazing skills that Paul holds for keeping the dance floor going all night, HE HAS A POPCORN MACHINE! The popcorn was a huge hit and he even had the popcorn bags personalized with our names, date, and wedding colors! Highly highly highly recommend Paul and Jen for your big day! Thank you so much for going above and beyond for Parker and I’s wedding! We love you guys!" - The Horvaths!

    "Paul was amazing to work with! He was so detailed and flexible! At one point the dance floor was sparse and Paul got on the microphone and filled the dance floor up again! Our ceremony was outside and the sound was absolutely perfect! Right before I walked down the aisle as I was crying happy tears and he looked at me and said “you look amazing and you got this” I will recommend Paul a million times over again!"

  • Kristin Hammel
    "Paul was truly exceptional! From the very beginning, he was quick to respond, professional, and an absolute delight to work with. Communication was seamless, and he made every detail feel easy and organized. His assistant, Jen, was also a pleasure to work with—friendly, attentive, and just as dedicated to making the day run smoothly. On the wedding day, the energy they brought to the room was unmatched. The music was perfectly curated to fit the couple, the crowd, and the overall vibe of the night. If you’re looking for a DJ who’s not only talented but also genuinely invested in creating an unforgettable experience, I can’t recommend Paul enough. Working with him (and Jen!) was a pleasure from start to finish!" — Kristin Hammel, Iris & Co

  • Kelli Foley
    "Paul (aka Dr. DJ Data) was our DJ this past weekend for our wedding and he was phenomenal. We had inclement weather and his main computer got wet and shorted out. We are so sorry again about that, Paul. Paul worked extremely hard and did everything he could to make sure we still had music by using a backup computer (but it did not have the same software as his main computer). He played as many of our songs as he could by using Spotify and he did an amazing job. Everyone had a blast and danced all night. We can not thank him enough for everything that he did. Also, Paul is so awesome to work with. He's a great guy and made sure that he knew exactly what we wanted and he far exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Paul!"

  • Bryan Shaw
    "We were highly impressed with Paul, his knowledge of music, his professionalism, and his humor. We have known other people that have hired DJ’s that did not actually meet their DJ until the day of their event. Paul met with us twice before our event to make sure everything would be in line and go as smoothly as possible. We really liked that and it made us feel so at ease. It left us feeling that we chose the right DJ for our wedding reception..and we definitely did! Paul did everything as we requested and kept our wedding reception moving smoothly and on time. We could not have asked for a better experience with a DJ. Thank you for making our day perfect, Paul! Centerstage Michiana DJ is the gold standard for DJ services! High recommend!"
