Best experience ever

Phil and his team were wonderful to work with. From day one Phil asked just the right questions and made suggestions on things I never even thought about. He made sure to get to know my husband and me so he knew how to plan the music. That's a challenge because me and hubby do not have the same music tastes! The photo booth was better then other weddings I've been too. Printing is fast!! I can't make a decision to save my life but Sarah presented several options on the photo backgrounds and helped me make the final selection. Day of went as smooth as expected. Would highly recommend them for any party.

All Generations on the Dance Floor!

DJ Anthony with Phil Phest was extremely invested in us having a good time. He was able to mix in almost all of the songs I had mentioned even though some were in another language and he had not worked with them before. His MC skills are on point, getting the party amped up. People were dancing till the last song. He gave great advice on timing for father-daughter/planned dances and helped make sure the tunes were cut in/out at just the right time.

5 star experience

Phil & his team are absolutely the best in the business. We utilized Phil as our DJ, photo booth provider, officiant, & we also used his other company (The Crafted Cannoli) for our late night snack. Phil was so kind, attentive, and truly knocked the ball out of the park on all fronts. His communication was stellar & he created so many parts of our perfect day. Through all of the planning, day of curveballs, set up & break down, Phil truly showed up for us. His professionalism and passion for what he does shines through in every aspect of his business. Phil & his team were an immense pleasure to work with & we would choose to work with them over & over again. I couldn't recommend a better DJ, officiant, or overall lover of weddings more than Phil. We truly cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us.

Amazing experience with Phil!!

From start to finish, Phil was incredible. Professional, organized, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day seamless and unforgettable.

The sound quality and setup were flawless for the ceremony and reception, and the transitions throughout the night were smooth and intentional. What truly stood out was his ability to read the room and blend music effortlessly - keeping guests of all ages engaged and the dance floor full.

As an MC, he was confident and polished without being overbearing, keeping the timeline on track while maintaining a fun, relaxed vibe. From rehearsals to the ceremony, reception, and after-party, he never missed a beat.

If you’re looking for a DJ who is talented, reliable, and truly cares about your experience, we can’t recommend Phil and his team enough.

Best DJ!!!

If you want to be on the dance-floor the whole night, you need to hire DJ Phil!! He knows how to get the crowd dancing and keep the vibes going! He even let us DJ at our wedding which was awesome! He was super charismatic and outgoing while introducing everyone and making any announcements to the guests. He’s amazing to work with, gets back to you quickly, and even sends you reminders/check lists as the event gets closer. I would absolutely hire him again. I’ve also seen him at 2 other weddings and both were amazing experiences as well! Phillip it was so great to work with you! Thank you for everything!

The best vendor we hired!

Phil and his team were absolute professionals and went far above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable. Despite several unexpected hiccups—including our day-of coordinator not showing up for the rehearsal and arriving late on the wedding day—Phil immediately stepped in and confidently took charge of coordinating the ceremony.

Beyond that, his team made sure my wife and I were taken care of all day, even ensuring we had food and drinks so we could actually enjoy the moment. Because of them, we never had to worry about the little things, and our guests had an amazing time.

Phil’s experience and knowledge really stood out. He offered great suggestions without ever being pushy, always allowing us to make the decisions that felt right for us. The music was spot-on, his presence during the ceremony was seamless, and everything flowed perfectly.

If I could give more than five stars, I would—this team truly deserves it. If you’re looking for the best, look no further. Honestly, I would have gladly paid double for the level of service we received. Huge thanks to Phil and his team—our day simply wouldn’t have been the same without you.

Don't underestimate the importance of your DJ!

I went into wedding planning not really wanting to spend money on a DJ. Phil cost more than the other options we looked at, but the second we met him, it made complete sense. He does a lot of weddings, but you would never know it. We always felt like his top priority. He gave us personal attention, real focus, and honestly acted like a guide through the whole marriage process.

He didn’t just play a playlist. Anybody can do that. He took the time to understand our tastes and our history, and he wove all of that together into something that felt unique and personal and fun for everyone. One of my favorite moments was when he spotted our ring bearer in his little ring security outfit and sunglasses and instantly gave him his own Mission Impossible style theme song for his walk. Total risk, but he read the room, understood our tone, and made the whole moment even better. He did that on the fly, too. Great instincts and a masterful command of his setup.

Phil was a full on 10 out of 10, and I started this not even wanting to hire a DJ. I highly recommend him. Don’t cut corners on the person who is basically hosting your big day. Knowing Phil had everything covered let us actually relax and focus on getting married.

Great addition to our wedding

The owner Phil was very responsive. He provided us with great choices for the back drop. When creating our boarder for our photo, Phil allowed us create our own boarder. Allowing us to choose whatever color and design. Phil creative so we only needed to change it once. Lol Phil team showed up to our wedding on time and was super sweet to all guest. We received a book to keep all the photos that guest took. We looked at it the night of our wedding. I would recommend PhilPhest Event Photo Booth for a wedding, birthday party or an event you want to create memories.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Phil Phest Events – Simply the Best!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Phil Phest Events and the role they played in making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, Phil went above and beyond in every possible way. His professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine care for us as a couple truly set him apart.

Throughout the night, Phil checked in on us regularly to make sure we were doing great and enjoying ourselves — something that meant the world in the middle of such a whirlwind day. He managed every moment seamlessly, reading the crowd perfectly and keeping the dance floor absolutely bumping from start to finish. The energy never dropped, and every single guest — from our friends to our family — is still talking about how much fun they had.

The value of Phil’s services goes far beyond music. He helped create an experience. The flow of the evening, the transitions, and the energy were all spot-on, thanks to his skill and passion for what he does.

We are forever grateful for Phil and his incredible team for making our wedding night so memorable. We’ll be highly recommending Phil Phest Events to every one of our friends and family who get married in the future.

Philfest is the best!

One of the most important things to us when starting our wedding planning process was make sure the music was great to get the party going and keep the dancefloor jumping all night. And let me say Phil absolutely delivered and then some. Part wedding planner, part coordinator, part DJ and part emcee – Phil did it all and was such a big help throughout the planning process and pulling off our bid day. He managed to seamlessly blend in all of our must play songs while also keeping tabs of what got the people going and tailored the setlist perfectly to keep people dancing and having a great time. He also provided us with the photobooth which was a big hit with our guests and provided us with all the photos afterwards that we could scroll through and relive the night. Cannot recommend Phil enough – you will not regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
