Wedding day 5/31/25

Phil was an excellent dj and very thorough. We met multiple times to go over the music and how I wanted things to flow. I would recommend Dj Birdsell to any bride!

They put in so much time and dedication to make your event perfect!

Phil & Mary did an AMAZING job! We would highly recommend! We wrote down the songs that we wanted and Phil & Mary went over every song with us during our meeting and made sure it was a good fit. I felt confident in asking Phil questions about the wedding because he has done so many of them. He made us a timeline that was very detailed that we followed instead of our day of coordinators timeline. Phil & Mary made sure we were ready to move on to the next thing so we didn’t feel rushed. They came out to dance with us and Phil just made it so much fun! We would highly highly recommend them for any event! They’re amazing! And they put in so much work to make your event perfect!

Overall awesome DJ

Phil and his wife are super responsive from the initial phone call, to the pre-wedding planning meeting, and the day of coordination. It made the day go by smoothly and all requests for the timeline were met I always dreamed of one big dance party and everyone was on the dance floor thanks to Phil!

Amazing pair!

Such an amazing experience. Mary and Phil know how to organize, communicate and deliver. They made the entire process seamless and easy considering everything else that is needed to be worried about during this special time. Mary assisted my bride as well during the ceremony to grand entrance. Both were both extremely personable during the entire experience and made our special day easy and fun. Will certainly recommend them to my friends and family. They were both accommodating and listened to us. Thank you both very much!

Can't Recommend Enough!

You will not regret hiring Phil! Phil is not only so nice and responsive, but he is also so professional. My husband and I were so reassured by his professionalism. Phil not only took our recommendations into consideration, but he knew exactly the right music to play to get people on the dance floor. He was the DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and everything went so smoothly. Not only that, Phil's wife, Mary was there to help. Phil and Mary are such a great team and so fun!! They are a big part of why our wedding was such a good time. I even received positive comments from the guests. Please do yourself a favor and hiring them. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

Star Wars Themed Party

We hired Phil Birdsell to DJ our party at the Nugget in Sparks, NV. We were celebrating the end of our regional choral convention with a Star Wars themed "glow-in-the-dark" dance for 200 women. Phil and his wife, Mary were the perfect fit for our group who wanted a mix of pop/dance music from many eras. Phil was professional, timely, thorough, and affordable. He tailored the music and evening events to our party theme, and joined in the Star Wars fun too. His sound equipment was professional and perfect for the large ballroom. He was flexible with some last minute changes to the program and encouraged everyone to participate throughout the night. We danced the night away and didn't want it to end!

Great fun!

We hired Phil for a professional conference to play music during our Award’s Banquet. We had a theme of Weird Science and Phil put together a very fun and thoughtful play list that everyone enjoyed. He also was able to come up with some great “play-up” music for the winners with very short notice as the winners were chosen the afternoon before the event.
