Paul Granata DJ, Emcee
From a young age Paul showed an extreme passion and love for music. He completely immersed himself in all aspects of what music is. Whether it be the instrumentation, melody, production or personal interpretation, it all had a profound affect on him that he used to develop a keen ear and understanding of how powerful a song can be.
He taught himself to play guitar and dedicated himself so much to the instrument and music he would soon progress to writing and recording his own songs. At Northeastern University, he graduated with a major in Music Industry and also started an original band that played extensively throughout the Northeast. Soon after graduating, Paul and the band moved to Los Angeles where they continued to perform and record. During this time, he also spent 9 years working professionally in the music industry for Realsongs – Diane Warren Music Publishing.
At Realsongs some of the areas he worked in included licensing, copyright, song catalog management, as well as work in the recording studios.
Paul is very personable and easy to work with. He can make anyone feel comfortable and confident with him handling the music for their event. We feel his passion, experience, music knowledge, skills and DJ performance are very unique and special for any client that has the opportunity to work with him. Clients continuously rave about their experience working with Paul.
Testimonials Paul Granata
DJ Paul and all of the C-Zone staff were absolutely incredible. Paul DJ’ed my friend’s wedding so I knew he would throw an amazing party, but I didn’t realize how smooth the planning process would be. From my first emails with Gina, to our planning sessions with Paul, everything was seamless and professional and didn’t add any additional stress to the insanity that is wedding planning.
Paul listened to everything we wanted and we couldn’t have asked for anything better! Our dance floor was filled literally all night. His sense of humor was a great addition as well. In addition to awesome DJ services (including uplighting) we also had a jazz trio for our cocktail hour and a Photo Booth – both were the cherry on top of our perfect night. The day after our wedding all the pictures from the photo booth were emailed directly to us – this was an awesome addition. Prices for all of these services were very reasonable. I cannot say enough good things about DJ Paul and C-Zone Entertainment!

We went with C-Zone based on a recommendation from a friend who recently got married and could not have asked for a better experience! Paul was the BEST DJ!! (No, seriously – our friends raved about the music for days after!) He totally and immediately understood the vibe we were going for, helped with a few song recommendations and a song edit, and hit it out of the park on the day – from the jazzy prelude to the absolute bops on the dance floor. We couldn’t have asked for better – thank you!!

We had an exceptional experience with C-Zone Entertainment. They were a preferred vendor for our venue. We worked with DJ Paul Granata who was fantastic. He was easygoing and made the planning process stress-free. The client portal was easy to use but we also sent him Spotify playlists for reference. He matched the energy we were looking for at each point of the wedding. Our dance floor was packed from the second he opened it up, to the end of the night. We have had so many guests tell us what a great DJ we had, and that this was one of the best weddings they have been to. We highly recommend C-Zone and Paul!

C-Zone Entertainment was so thoughtful, helpful and timely when thinking through our options for our wedding. We had one hour of live musicians at the cocktail hour, and then Paul Granata was our DJ for the evening. Paul helped us think through the best length of songs for our special dances, and was very flexible with reading the crowd and definitely played all the songs we wanted to hear. The dance floor did not stop all night!! Thank you Gina, Paul, and the whole C-Zone team.

We had a great experience working with C-Zone Entertainment to hire a DJ for our wedding! Gina was extremely kind, knowledgeable and helped us every step of the way throughout the booking process. And Paul, our DJ, did such a fantastic job the day of our wedding. We met with him several times before our date to go over our must-play list and fill out all the other music details like first-dance song, last few songs of the night, etc. After talking with him a couple weeks before the wedding, it was clear he understood our vision and had a plan for the entire night. C-Zone’s online planning portal was easy to use for uploading our preferred playlist too. C-Zone was very professional, affordable and helped us have an amazing wedding!
