Look no further, DJ PTK *is* the DJ you need! No seriously, stop Googling, save yourself some time and stress, and book him right now. Why? Well...

I got married on September 24, 2022 at Church & State Wines and while I thought I hired "just a DJ", I somehow landed myself a day-of coordinator, emcee coach, tech support staff, and perhaps most importantly, a charismatic guest with impeccable music taste. Did I mention he's also a force to be reckoned with in the wedding industry with his knowledge and experience? He's as honest as they come and that's one out of the many traits I love about DJ PTK.

From the initial point of contact to the end of the night, DJ PTK was exceptional with his communication (he knew how to keep a bride's anxiety at bay and work with other vendors with ease) and professionalism (every curveball that came his way, he hit it out of the park). During the ceremony, he seamlessly transitioned through the songs we picked as if there was a live band. During our grand entrance to the reception, he not only coached my wedding party on what to do to pump up the guests, but he created a smoke show for us! My husband and I's cool factor peaked in that moment. After the reception, he made sure no one left the dance floor for more than a few seconds, luring us back in with timeless classics to recent pop hits- all done based on his expert intuition of the "vibe" of the dance floor.

He took the time to get to know me and my husband, as well as our guests with a range of different personalities as you could imagine! He was flexible in my asks, such as splitting emcee duties with one of my friends. He did not have to provide an impromptu lesson on how to emcee but he did it so graciously that it enhanced my wedding day where I could have his expertise supporting one of my close friends in sharing stories of me and my husband.

To say DJ PTK went above and beyond would be an understatement. If other DJs take you to the moon and back, DJ PTK will launch you to Saturn, grooving to your favourite songs. Thank you, DJ PTK, for the phenomenal time- I almost want to get married again so I can have you DJ again. 🙂

We planned our wedding in the tail end of COVID and as 2 years of weddings were playing catch up we were not expecting to book as incredible vendors as we did.
We booked DJ PTK over a year in advance - jumping on the opportunity based on his excellent reviews in the Victoria weddings FB group - upon booking (not to mention we were his 56th wedding and last booking for 2022) we immediately had a phone call to confirm details and go over his packages and pricing and just chat - in todays online world I really appreciated the personal touch of a phone call. Any email communication we had was extremely prompt and I never had to wait for any information or questions to be answered.
Our music list was a little bit eccentric at times and he complied with all our of requests and need to double play songs (Mr. Brightside multiple times at a British wedding? If he must 😉 )
Something I really enjoyed was that it seemed like he was also enjoying the day. He didn't just stand behind his booth, do his job and leave - he was out interacting with guests, having a good time which I felt definitely added to the experience. Kindness goes a long way.
The majority of feedback I received from my guests was about the dancefloor - how it kept going all night long and how good the music was. It was a great mix between classics, new music, and our/guests requests. The next day Paul followed up with us to ensure we enjoyed the evening and that we were happy with his service - again another great personal touch.
All in all Paul gave us the best reception I could have asked for and gave our friends and family a party to remember. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

DJ PTK was super fun and engaging with us and our guests, everyone had a great time dancing the night away!

Not hard to see why DJ PTK is so well regarded among vendors on the Island. Everyone we talked to about a DJ while we were planning our wedding said the same thing - “Get DJ PTK and you won’t be disappointed.” Paul goes above and beyond to help ensure your big day goes perfectly - from pre-wedding (initial planning calls, to follow ups, to timely email communications) to the day of (chatting through deets before the ceremony, coaching our MC and giving them pointers throughout the night, Arranging a grand entrance etc.). We knew exactly what we were looking for in regards to our reception and PTK was a big part of making it happen.

DJPTK was able to make my one and only request for my wedding come true, the party never left the dancefloor! He was able to keep the dancing going all night, consistently choosing great songs to play to the crowd we had, and taking all the great requests the dancers wanted. There was a wedding right next door to us, which posed some difficulties sound-wise, but not once did DJPTK allow it to cause any problems for us, he quickly was able to problem solve and change his set up without once making us feel stressed, he really knows what he is doing! Also, our party DEFINITELY was the best, without a question the best DJ, music and dancing.
DJPTK was fantastic to work, chat and plan with, he really does have all the answers for all things weddings, including vendor recommendations and timelines. He was always a call or text away with a quick response anytime we had a question or he wanted to clarify something.
We cannot recommend DJPTK as a DJ and MC enough!

DJPTK not only our DJ but a friend 😀.
Thank u for an amazing day and evening.
As everyone knows im pretty laid back when it comes to things for myself. (Working in the event industry) A few months back I told Paul i wanted to do something fun and a surprise 😮 We drummed up a few thing and then i had the ultimate plan.... and Paul just went with it. Once i told him a helicopter was dropping me off at the ceremony site, he had all the music planned. (He asked what i wanted and I told him, 'u know best' and left it in his hands). It was amazing. As the chopper flew over he played the Airwolf theme and as my boys and I exited the chopper Paul played the A team theme. The nite was full of great music and good times. Thank u Paul for ur knowledge, wisdom in the music world and for making my job easier..

DJ PTK absolutely KILLED IT at our wedding as our DJ. My now wife wanted to use her Uncle as her wedding MC since she was little and Paul not only respected that, but worked with him, playing off eachother to make the night as memorable as possible.

From the dinner game, to "coaching" us for the wedding reception entrance, Paul put in more work than "just d
Dj'ing" (which he absolutely brought the house down doing so i dont want to minimize it)

Contact was always easy and prompt with DJ PTk. Even though he was not available for us, schedule wise, for the ceremony, he was able to reccomend a speaker rental that i used and it worked out great.
Put together an amazing setlist for the night based off the quiz he gave us (just more evidence of the extra work he puts in behind the scenes.)

Fantastic experience with a great DJ. Would reccomend.
Thanks paul!!!

We were absolutely thrilled with DJPTK. Paul went above and beyond for our wedding.
Once we hired him we really didn’t have much to do ourselves beside picking our first dance song. He worked with our officiant and our venue to make everything run smoothly. It was a great weight off our shoulder knowing he was taking care of everything and we had one less thing to worry about.
He kept the dance floor packed all night even though we had a pretty small wedding. He played the requests from our guests. When my mind when blank in the middle of our first dance and we ended up cutting it short, he caught up quickly and ended the music early so no one even noticed!
He also went out of his way to give pointers and advice to our friend who MC’d our wedding.
Paul is really great to work with and we 200% recommend using him!

Paul was our MC and our DJ for our wedding at the Beach House Restaurant on August 6th. After reading tons of amazing 5 star reviews we knew he was first on our list to call and were SO happy he was available for our date. From day one he was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond throughout the two years of planning and day of. Our very first conversation with him it was as if we were friends who had known each other for years and we knew we were in good hands.

He is beyond organized, super responsive (would even get back to our emails/calls within minutes), and is literally the best in the business for a reason! He is not the type of DJ who just shows up to your day, plays music, reads a script you give him and goes home. He puts hours of behind the scenes work into his weddings, showed up early, was extremely helpful all throughout the venue/day, ensured everything ran flawlessly, rounded up our wedding party and did a run through of everything and kept us all organized and on the ball. He was always available to answer any questions, relieve any of our stresses was so reassuring and we honestly could not have had a better MC and DJ.

The wedding party intros were spot on! He took brief paragraphs we wrote about each member of our wedding party and brought them to life! He had everyone laughing and lit up the entire room. It has only been two days since our wedding and we have had multiple messages and even comments the night of asking for his contact details and how long we have known Paul for, thinking he must be a friend we’d known years and have had so many compliments on how awesome he was.

He nailed the music all throughout the night and played a wide range of music for all ages. Everyone was on the dance floor that night! It was only maybe 5 minutes before dancing had begun we were outside for photos and he was mingling with us and guests and it got brought up that Reservoir Dogs is my FAVOURITE movie and soundtrack. After bonding over our love for Quentin Tarantino movies we all went inside for dancing to begin and the first few songs he played were all from the soundtrack. He pays so much attention to detail and I could go on and on about how happy we are that he was apart of our day! He even mingled with guests all throughout the evening, took song requests and kept the party going! He was definitely a crowd favourite and truly brought our day to life and we are so happy with everything DJ PTK had to offer. You can tell he loves what he does!

 If you are getting married and are needing a DJ or DJ/MC or are having a special event and need a DJ, run don’t walk to the phone and give Paul a call! He is the best of the best.

Thank you Paul!!!!!!!

For anyone looking for the best DJ and best Photographer ever, you need to hire DJ PTK Matthew David Paul and Brady Jenkins from Jenkins Photography!!

Paul (DJ PTK) was the DJ and MC for our wedding on July 15th at The Beach Club Resort and I’m pretty sure he was one of our most favourite guests! He didn’t hide at his table all night, he came out and mingled with the crowd, got to know so many family members and friends which we thought was just amazing. The fact that he also won over my grandma who is the BIGGEST DJ critic going 🤣 That says a lot about him. She’s been to many weddings in her lifetime and said he is by far the best DJ! Paul worked with me and around my schedule, especially because I was planning from far away so we had a bit of a time change difference to account for whenever we would talk! Thanks to Paul, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders as he took on so many tasks for me, reassured me when needed, and also saved us money by being so aware of the wedding industry and how some venues might try charge you for things that aren’t necessary, etc. Paul worked tremendously with our vendors, especially Brady Jenkins, our incredibly talented photographer.
Having these two beauties work along side each other at your wedding is a MUST! You won’t regret it! They are the dream team, 100%!

The self-awareness Paul has for what makes him unique from other DJ’s and the passion he has is amazing. He’s the kind of DJ who meets his clients, talks to them as if he’s known them his entire life and just can’t wait to throw an unforgettable party for his good friends, bothers to gather every kind of detail imaginable to help make your special day go perfectly, then keep in touch with you, take time to engage with you authentically over the phone, and so on. He’s humble and grateful enough to take care of all the important needs/requests! From start to finish, he was professional, patient, and the music was perfect. Paul is SUPER organized (thankfully because I was getting super overwhelmed with everything). When Josh and I felt stuck for songs during certain times in our reception schedule, he always had awesome ideas, to the point where we just trusted him to do whatever he thought was best! He also puts his own unique spin on things which kept the entire crowd engaged and laughing! The way he told my speech about one of my bridesmaids and her obsession with Polar Bears & the pics of them that I would send her LITERALLY had some people spit their water out of their mouths because they laughed so hard, haha. I could keep writing about how having DJ PTK at our wedding was amazing but you honestly just need to hire him and see for yourself. You will NOT regret it! Thank you Paul for making our special day an incredible and unforgettable one! You’re the best!
