    I've worked alongside Paul at many events, and I honestly cannot say enough good things about him,…read moreand what he brings to the table via his business, Elmwood Village Entertainment. First off, he's a true renaissance man; an individual of many talents, creative abilities, and a genuine humility that makes you think it's all just second nature to him. Second, his level of professionalism is unequaled. Always punctual, always prepared, always ready to provide the highest levels of service. Third - just have a conversation with him. Again, he exudes confidence, energy, and humility. A genuinely good guy! When he's spinning tracks, the entertainment doesn't break. Dance floors are filled, and the event is bumpin'! His musical selections are almost instinctive for the gathering, and the songs flow from one, to the next. Yeah, he's that good. I know a lot of good DJ's. I know a few great ones. Elmwood Village Entertainment doesn't have to be your first call, but do not hire a DJ in Buffalo without talking to Paul first!

    I used Yelp's Request a Quote feature to find Paul from Elmwood Village Entertainment about a month…read morebefore my event. Paul was incredibly professional and accommodating and a true professional at his job. I would not hesitate to have Paul (DJ Rock) / Elmwood Village Entertainment to host your wedding, event, etc. Where to start? 1) He arrived incredibly early to setup, loaded a lot of equipment and tested the sound. 2) He ran with the script we gave him and acted as a great MC throughout the night. 3) He was kind, professional and on top of it all. I wouldn't hesitate to have Paul host any future events and I'm glad I found him! Highly recommended if you're looking for a DJ or MC!

    A Dream Wedding, Made Effortless, thanks to Melissa and Simple Celebrations!…read more Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, but Melissa and her team at Simple Celebrations turned what could have been a stressful process into something truly joyful. From the very beginning, Melissa took the time to listen, really listen, to our hopes, ideas, and vision. She then used her deep well of experience, creativity, and calm confidence to guide us every step of the way. Melissa is more than just a planner, she's a partner, a problem-solver, and a visionary. Her impeccable taste and design eye brought our wedding to life in a way that felt personal, elegant, and unforgettable. But what impressed us most was her ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized we had them. That level of foresight and attention is rare and absolutely priceless. Throughout the planning process and especially on the big day, Melissa was attentive, professional, and full of fresh ideas. She handled every detail with grace, allowing us to be fully present and soak in the magic of our wedding without worry. Everything flowed seamlessly because Melissa was running the show--and we knew we were in the best possible hands. We are endlessly grateful for her talent, poise, and passion. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to make your day exceptional, look no further than Melissa and Simple Celebrations. BRAVA, MELISSA! You made our day truly spectacular.

    Melissa helped my sister and brother-in-law plan their wedding and she was amazing to work with…read more She helped them prioritize what they really wanted in their ceremony and brought their vision to life. In addition, her rental items are pristine and stunning. She also helped me plan my sister's bridal shower. Melissa is also kind and supportive. She works hard and it shows in the final product. We won't soon forget her or how she made a special day even more lovely. Thank you, Melissa!

    This company is amazing! Chris, DJ Pauly Paul and Keith made my wedding one to remember…read more Chris and I hit it off immediately. Booking was a breeze and it was clear he knew what he was talking about in the initial phone call. A huge perk was that he was friendly and knowledgeable and got along well with the owners of the venue! I felt confident that he was getting the job done in the interim months when there isn't a lot of contact needed. Exactly a month before the wedding, he had reached out ALREADY KNOWING WHAT I PLANNED WITH MY VENUE! I couldn't be more happy with the service on that. While Chris and I never met in person, I felt so comfortable. The weeks leading to the wedding, he was readily available for questions/concerns/logistics. Meeting with my vendors, giving suggestions on wedding day flow and making the magic happen. He probably did more behind the scenes that I didn't even have to put thought into. He was just that good. DJ Pauly Paul was the MC for our event and he was very knowledgeable and quick with a song that would get the guests on their feet. Somehow playing crowd pleasers and songs that hit my particular taste. Everyone 21-70 years old was on the floor. Paul reached out with great suggestions and guides for the specific music. Our wedding had 3 sound stages, which I know was difficult. The team handled it with grace and coordination- like they loved the challenge, not at all like a burden or chore. Keith and Pauly Paul were behind the scenes heroes making it all happen. Transporting equipment, lighting and the audio guest book just happened. No one even realized the transition happened until it happened. I would also suggest the audio guest book! I was initially unsure but Chris graciously put it at our venue. Guests were fun with it- especially after a few drinks. Uplighting is also a must! My venue was Farrington Hollow and was particularly large. The owner of Farrington glowed about his service during our initial meeting and I soon found out the two companies work together SEAMLESSLY. Guests at my wedding were regularly coming up complimenting the DJ, venue and overall energy. I really give them credit to make my day and my guests!

    We have nothing but fantastic things to say about Chris and our assigned DJ, Scott. From the first…read moremoments we made contact with Buffaluv soundz Chris was incredibly attentive, responsive, and a great energy to talk to. The meeting event he hosts is a great way to get a taste of what he has to offer, and we were not disappointed. The planning meetings were fast and simple, the checklist he provides makes planning a breeze, and the execution of the wedding was phenomenal. Our DJ was scott and he does not just "press play" but did awesome mixes and transitions and was very attentive to our requests. I cannot express enough how happy we were with scott and Chris's kindness, skills, and professionalism.
