Martell Music Entertainment

What can I say? DJ Paul Martell is the man when it comes to the music for your event! And a very reasonably price (compared to the prices out there in the market). All the coordination was done over the phone, and the event was perfect! He was always available to pick up the phone, txt, and email with the details and questions. He showed up early, had everything set up on time, came to greet us and assure us that he was in charge, and delivered everything we wanted and more! No complaints, do call him if you want to have a blast!

Paul was such a pleasure to work with. Our music was one of the most important parts of our wedding and Paul was so patient with me as I went over our artist/​song preferences, general vibe we were going for and even a strict «no play» list. Every single song was on point and I have never had more fun dancing with my family and friends. I wish we could relive the night! Thank you Paul for helping to make our wedding truly memorable :)

He DJ’d for our wedding on 7÷11÷15…
Called around and very reasonably priced! Couple of calls in advance… Met and discussed the day and sequence of events… Final call for follow-​up the day before wedding… Showed up early… Set up quickly… Did everything we wanted and more!!! Everything went perfect and he felt the mood and kept the juice going… Culminated into a massive dance and singalong at the end!!! He made the day a great memory and worked well with the photo booth we hired!!!
High recommendations for Paul and Martell Music and Entertainment!!!

Paul Martell did an excellent job DJing our wedding. He was very detail and professional. He helped make the wedding go smoothly. Highly recommend his service.

Paul DJed my wedding a few weekends ago and was fantastic! He listens to every detail and makes sure the event is flawless. He read the crowd great (my rowdy friends) and played music accordingly — the dance floor was packed the whole night!

Great job by Paul Martell of Martell Music — as DJ at my daughter’s Brazil Building wedding! Paul took great care to get a sense of the bride and groom’s musical taste, as well as a read overall on the guest list. He solicited favorite info on favorite songs and genres and also added at our request some unusual ethnic and vintage music. Paul also paid great attention to organizational issues, helping us consider what elements (e.g. introductions of bride and groom or important guests) we wanted to include and how the timeline for the event would proceed. Our music was wide ranging, by design, and kept all sorts of guests on the floor. The first dance was sweet, later we were moving to classic rock, motown, and more. Some of my favorite moments, which illustrate how well Paul managed a diverse crowd: a table of young people leaping to their feet for a polka; a Turkish line dance where a male grad student tore up the floor with a bunch of fancy footwork; and my 20-​something nephew taking to swing. Martell Music really helped «make» the event, and on our terms. Bottom line: Paul was a thorough planner, responsive to our needs and taste; on the day of the event, the operation was smooth, planning paid off, he read the crowd well, and guests (not all of them necessarily in practice for dancing) had a great time on the floor!

Paul was the DJ at our wedding at Boundary Oak in Walnut Creek. I appreciated how thorough he was in the months and weeks leading up to the wedding, making sure he was familiar with the venue and had the playlist and events of the night planned nearly to the minute. He always stayed in contact, checking in an making changes as needed. He was wonderful the night of the event, playing a great mix of music and acting as MC.

I hired Martell Music for my parents’ 50^th anniversary party. Paul was amazing! Prior to the event, he was in frequent communication about demographics of the crowd, pace of the party, lighting… all of the details. He actually took the time to research music (specifically Bollywood) and made great choices that floored our crowd. My mom was so surprised and happy! He was prompt, courteous, and kind, and fun. He read the crowd and pace of the party perfectly, and chose music accordingly. He kept the party going until everyone’s feet hurt! I highly recommend Martell Music for any sort of event — Paul will be sure to make specific choices, no matter what type of event. I’m so impressed that he researched stuff with which he wasn’t too familiar and totally nailed it — perfect songs! Thank you Paul — you helped make our party spectacular! Also — price was totally fair — I really appreciated that!

I hired Martell Entertainment to DJ my wedding earlier this year, and I have to say that they exceeded all my expectations from the first email to the final dance at the reception. They responded promptly to phone calls and emails, and spent ample time with us to plan out the flow of the reception and the music playlist. They were so professional and showed up on time and kept the party going until the very end — they had all my guests on the dance floor the whole night. I have received so many compliments from friends and family about the DJ, and so will definitely be using them again!

I contracted Martell Music to provide music and DJ services for my wife’s 40^th Surprise Birthday party.
Paul was very helpful throughout the planning stages, helping me layout a timeline of events throughout the evening.
His music recommendations and other general party planning suggestions were very helpful in creating a stunning and successful party.
Communication was never a concern. We spoke as often as required to coordinate the event.
On the event day, he arrived on time, and dressed for the occasion. He was professional and courteous, and truly helped make it a memorable evening for all.
I would very much recommend Martell Music for any event requiring DJ Services!

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.

We had our wedding in August of 2010, and have been meaning to rate Martell Music since then! (Better late than never. right?)
Paul Martell is AMAZING! Every aspect of working with him was so enjoyable. He listened to everything I had to say, and made sure to stay in constant communication with the weeks leading up to the wedding. He has even called us since to check in on us! (No one does that!)
We did not have a wedding planner, and Paul took over and ran the show! The night went off without a hitch, and EVERYONE was dancing! (even my grandma was in the conga line.) Some people do not realize how important a good DJ is. We have been to numerous weddings since ours, and none of the receptions compared. If you want a guaranteed fun reception, with out any glitches, then Martell Music is for you!!!
THANK YOU !!!

I had my wedding in September last year and Martell Music was recommended to me by a friend who used them at her wedding. I had a very specific list of music that I want but didn’t know all of the song titles. They spent 2 hours with me at the consultation and had an extensive samples of music for me to choose from. At the wedding, from the ceremony to the reception, the DJ took charge of keeping the flow of things, coordinated with the minister, the photographer, the caterer, which was lifesaver because I was so overwhelmed and all over the place! He also took song requests from our guests, and he was so impressive everyone just had a blast! I am so thankful for Martell Music for making my wedding day so special, I highly recommend it to everyone that wants a true professional to make your event fantastic. They are pretty busy all year round so call early and find out for yourself how great they are!
