About Paul

Paul comes from the top clubs in Peru: DJing since 2004 with more than 3,000 nights behind the decks, resident at Dalí and Resident and at the Cochinola festival, and opening act for Luis Miguel, Camilo, Beéle and Mike Bahía. He studied music before he mixed records: harmony, ear training, rhythm.

A wedding asks for what the club taught him, reading a crowd and calibrating energy by the second, plus what the club never teaches: protocol, structure and timing. With three or four generations on the dance floor, everyone has to find their song at some point of the night.

What Paul brings to your wedding

DJ
Paul mixes your wedding from start to finish. Editing the songs for your dances (first dance, surprise dance, hora loca) is included at no extra cost. No MC announcing every moment: the microphone is only for the speeches you plan. The music leads, not the voice.
Sound
D.A.S. and RCF systems with an Allen & Heath mixer. Independent systems for ceremony, cocktail hour and reception when they are in separate spaces, as they usually are at Lima venues. Wireless microphones for the ceremony and speeches.
Lighting
Moving-head beams for the dance floor, with colors, gobos and effects, plus wireless architectural uplighting that transforms the venue without touching the decor.
Power generator
Public power in Peru does not give a professional sound system the stability it needs, which is why sound "drops" at many weddings when the lights come on. The generator runs from the first minute, not as a backup. Usually the caterer provides it; if not, Paul arranges one with a trusted supplier. A second backup generator is optional.

Where Paul plays

All of Lima with his full rig, up to Huacho, Chincha and Chosica. Farther away, he travels with his technician and coordinates sound with a local provider. Zone guides (in Spanish): Cusco and the Sacred Valley, Arequipa, Paracas, Cieneguilla.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a wedding DJ cost in Peru?
Paul does not use a price list: he builds the quote around your actual wedding. The price depends on your guest count, the venue and whether ceremony, cocktail hour and reception are in separate spaces, the lighting, a second backup generator, and the destination. Send the date, the venue and the guest count and you get an exact quote, no ranges and no surprises.

Do you play destination weddings in Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Arequipa or Paracas?
Yes. With his own sound and lighting, Paul covers Lima up to Huacho in the north, Chincha in the south and Chosica inland. For destinations farther away (Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Arequipa, Paracas, Máncora and the rest of Peru) he travels to play with his technician and the sound is coordinated with a local provider.

Do you speak English?
Yes. Planning calls, coordination with your wedding planner and any announcements you need can be in English or Spanish.

Can you play music from our country for our international guests?
Absolutely. It has happened many times, with Peruvian-American and Peruvian-Spanish weddings among others. Send references or playlists, or tell Paul what plays at weddings on that side of the family, and he works it into the set so your guests from abroad find their moment on the dance floor.

What is included in the wedding DJ service?
Paul mixes the whole wedding, edits your dance songs at no extra cost, brings D.A.S. and RCF sound with an Allen & Heath mixer, independent systems for separate spaces, wireless microphones, moving-head and uplighting, and a power generator from the first minute (usually from the caterer; if not, Paul arranges it).

How far in advance should we book?
Paul takes 24 weddings a year. The busiest months are November, December, March and April, which usually book 8 to 12 months ahead. Other times of the year have more availability.

Will you coordinate with our wedding planner and the venue?
Always. Paul works directly with your planner on the timeline, setup, arrival times and venue requirements. All technical staff carry SCTR insurance, and policies can be sent to the venue in advance.
