Dj paula shrum is wonderful!

Y'all. Stop what you're doing right now and hire Paula. She is so professional, experienced, and organized. She has a wealth of knowledge. She made us feel so calm and prepared in our pre-wedding conversations. She REALLY listened to us. We knew exactly what to expect on the big day. She was so helpful in any area we weren't sure about. She has great ideas. Trust her to do her thing. She reads the crowd so well and really knows how to keep the party going. She DJ'd our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Each part of the overall event was flawless.

No words.... just dancing!!

Paula was the absolute highlight of our wedding! I have had multiple, MULTIPLE, people say that there wasn't a single person sitting and that they have never seen a wedding dance so much! I am legitimately SORE from dancing so hard. There was never a dead spot! Paula was an absolute joy to work with and had required little to no direction. We gave her a few ideas of what we wanted and she perfectly understood the vibe and mood we wanted.

The ceremony songs we picked and the fade-outs we wanted were executed perfectly and we just let her fly with the rest and it was perfect! She was extremely professional throughout while also keeping the party bumping! We love Paula and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a great DJ!

Dj paula shrum in. The. House.

Paula was everything you could have asked for in a DJ and MC. Her set list was well rounded and she gave us the flexibility to add songs we really wanted and remove songs of hers that didn’t fit our preferences. She was also able to facilitate connection for us to a duo who performed at our ceremony and cocktail hour. Paula was attentive to the flow of the reception in all its various aspects, and got the entire crowd to dance all night.
