Went Above and Beyond
Martell Music was amazing! Out of all our wedding vendors, we felt they went above and beyond in more ways than one. Paul followed up with me directly, unlike other services who sent generic follow-up emails when I inquired about services and cost.
Paul took such an active and positive roll in our big day (June 21, 2018). He came to our rehearsal to make sure he had the music timing down and also did a separate walk-through. He made some great suggestions and really listened to what we wanted.
I didn't know this, but he and his co-DJ are ordained. My minister got sick and had to be swapped out 30 minutes before my ceremony. They were ready to step in if I hadn't had a friend to step in who was also ordained.
Then, my wedding planner kept dropping the ball on our reception schedule. Paul stepped up on our behalf and got her back on track. If I could do things over again, I would have completely entrusted Paul with running the show.
Our guests had a great time and were so impressed that my engaged friend asked for contact information so she could hire them for her wedding.
Paul provides the most professional service in a friendly and positive way. He has our highest endorsement

The Most Fun Wedding Reception…
Kaaryn & I would like to thank you for the wonderful job you did at our wedding. Thanks for keeping us on time and making sure all of our events went as scheduled. You really played a large part in making what our guests are calling “the most fun wedding reception we’ve ever been to.” Thanks again Paul, I’ll be sure to recommend you for other functions.
Sincerely,
Richard Van Buskirk, O.D.
Everyone had a Great Time Dancing all Night
We would like to thank Martell Music for making our wedding a huge success. You certainly gave our wedding reception 110% performance. From announcing the large wedding party, introducing the Irish step dancers, and the solo singer. Everyone danced all night and had a great time. Please feel free to use us as a reference.

So Pleased with Coordination and End Results
Paul worked very hard with me before the event to make sure the music was exactly what my husband and I expected. We were so pleased with the music and coordination of our event.
Thanks so much.

Another Awesome Job
Thank you for another awesome job. This is the sixth year Martell Music has entertained for our Filtrex Christmas party. No matter who we get as our DJ, they are always great and easy to work with.
See you next year!

Incredible Affordable Wedding DJ
Martell Music Entertainment was absolutely incredible as our DJ for our wedding this last Saturday at the Brazilian Room! We had Paul himself and Jeff, and they were both fantastic.
To start with the pre-planning, Paul is extremely experienced and does a great job of guiding you through what wedding entertainment looks like, while also asking about your wants/ thoughts and making sure to take special requests into consideration. He comes prepared with a sample timeline, suggestions for less personal music selections (like pre-ceremony or dinner background music) and is extremely detail oriented, down to asking what our officiant would be wearing to make sure he had the right kind of mic for him. He was great at communicating, and confirmed every single detail down to practicing all our bridal party's names for the bridal party entrance and making sure he had the exact timing of our songs right.
Day of, Paul was amazing. The wedding ran 100% smoothly with seamless transitions and clear announcements and instructions for every event. He worked amazingly with our caterer and day of coordinators to produce a flawless event. And most importantly, the music was amazing! Having a fun reception was my husband and my number one priority and Paul kept the party going all night long. He was amazing at reading the crowd, pumped up the crowd without being overbearing, and made sure to play every single song we requested.
Throughout both planning and the wedding day itself Paul was incredibly professional, accommodating, personable, and friendly.
Last but not least, pricing: Paul was not the cheapest of our DJ options, but of everybody we looked at he was in the top 3 most affordable, with the best value of what he offered. He is not pushy and although he let us know about options such as photo booths and up lighting he didn't nag us when we said we were happy with just the DJ and MC services.
Bottom line: if you want to have an incredibly fun wedding with someone super easy to work with, choose Paul!!

Great from Planning to End of Wedding
Paul Martell was the DJ for our wedding in April 2013 at the Brazilian room in Berkeley. He was great! He was helpful in the planning stages by giving us lots of suggestions for appropriate song choices for every part of the ceremony/reception. On the day of the wedding everything went smoothly, and he was instrumental in keeping the schedule moving along....i.e. reminding us when it was time to do the toasts, cut the cake, etc. The dance party was awesome....he kept all our guests on the floor dancing...especially useful was his tactful handling of requests from our guests....played a few of their requested songs (in particular the ones from my dad, haha) but also politely told a few that it wouldn't be possibly to fulfill all their requests as time was running short. Overall Paul did a great job, played everything we wanted, kept the energy high and the event on schedule.

Truly Memorable Day
Jeff did an excellent job of keeping the day flowing nice and smooth. Martell Music was a pleasure to work with and will come highly recommended. Once again, Paul, please extend our thanks to Jeff for a truly memorable day.
