    Phil is the picture of professionalism.

    It is difficult to know what you’re going to get with a DJ because the experience is so personal. But know that if you hire Phil you will be extremely happy with your experience from beginning to end. Throughout the planning stage, Phil offered us 11 out of 10 communication. He is extremely organized and efficient, is clearly very experienced, and offered ideas we never would have thought of on our own -- yet still allowed us full creative control. I felt like I was in very good hands the entire time. And Phil’s work at our wedding could not have been better. He kept us on time, provided our guests with well-timed & minimally disruptive updates and information, and coordinated his equipment smoothly even though we had multiple location changes from the ceremony to dinner to the reception. He seamlessly created a beautiful vibe during our ceremony, a fun and upbeat vibe during cocktail hour and dinner, and the best dance floor experience I could have asked for. I know it was a ton of work, but he made it look easy. He event provided cold sparklers that ignited during the crescendo of our first dance (which he also edited perfectly). Hiring Fantastic Five Entertainment should be the easiest decision you make for your wedding.

    Best DJ Ever!!!!!

    My husband and I hired Fantastic Five to DJ our October 2023 wedding. Phil was absolutely AMAZING. He was so great to work with throughout the whole process -- super professional, organized, and friendly. We worked with him to provide some "must plays" which he incorporated beautifully, and he curated the rest of the music for the evening perfectly. Our guests raved about Phil's DJing and MC work all night and we've been asked "who was your DJ??" eagerly afterward. We could not recommend Phil and Fantastic Five enough.

    Fantastic Five Entertainment

    Phil Montes was the best DJ we could have picked, for several reasons. For a Colombian-Jewish wedding he had the entire party on the dance floor with a mixture of Latin and American hits, for old and young. We gave him a list and filled it in perfectly. He was professional in how he dealt with us during planning and the reception, keeping us on a schedule and making introductions for a couple speeches we had planned for. He checked out the venue beforehand at least once and remained flexible up until the end as we switched a location on the property. Recommend Phil for any party big or small, professionalism, flexibility and his ability to feel out the crowd.

    Fantastic is a perfect name!

    Phil was absolutely FANTASTIC in making our wedding day a success. He was there every step of the way to ensure that everything went as smoothly as possible. Phil was very on top of things from the first meeting through the end of our reception. He helped coordinate the entire reception, made sure to communicate with other vendors, coordinate toasts, make announcements, and kept the dance floor energetic the entire reception. We can't say enough good things about Phil and would 100% recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ to for their big day. Thank you so much Phil and the Fantastic Five team for being apart of our wedding!

    Amazing entertainment!!! Hire Phil!

    Phil was my favorite vendor to work with, so friendly and responsive! He was always quick to answer my calls, or emails with thorough answers to my questions. He really knew how to pull together the hispanic culture on my husbands side and the white Ohio people on my side haha. It was a great even mix of music, it was awesome to see both sides come together and have a fantastic evening. His switches from song to song were flawless!!! He knew just when to do each event of the night and just what to announce. Hiring Phil was the best decision I made for our wedding, so glad he was our entertainment and everyone else should hire him too. I would fly him to California for future parties even!!

    Best wedding DJ!

    Phil was absolutely amazing to work with. We had a few over the phone meetings where we discussed the flow of the wedding and all the songs we wanted incorporated throughout our wedding day. I sent him a list of all our must play songs during the reception. He played them all and then some. Our guest were on the dance floor all night long and it was hard to get them off. Everyone raved about Phil after the wedding. Phil was so professional, organized and extremely fun to work with. I couldn't recommend Phil enough.

    Amazing Experience!

    Phil at Fantastic Five is PHENOMENAL! He truly lives up to the "fantastic" part of the Fantastic Five name. Throughout all of the planning process, Phil was communicative and supportive. We had trouble making decisions on songs and he never made us feel pressured or rushed and offered any assistance we may have wanted/needed. He completely captured the vibe of each part of our day, playing excellent music to go with each. He also did a great job with announcements and ensuring guests new where to go and what was going on. We really appreciated that he ensured his pronunciation was correct with names. For the reception, we wanted to really get music that would fun for groups of all ages, and most of all, we really just wanted a party. And that is exactly what Phil gave us! In my opinion, a wedding DJ really makes or breaks the day, and I cannot recommend Phil enough! He made all of our DJ dreams come true. Thank you Phil!!!

    Fantastic Five was amazing!

    Phil and Fantastic Five were incredible to work with the whole wedding process. Phil was great to work with and really helpful in not only picking the music, but helping to figure out the whole schedule and timeline for the wedding. He was also extremely flexible rescheduling with COVID.

    Made my wedding awesome

    Phil is a fantastic DJ to work with. We discussed various details prior to the wedding and even listening to the songs beforehand to know exactly at what spots to start and stop the songs. He is detailed oriented, self-sufficient and highly professional. He showed up on wedding day on time ready to go. I didn’t even have time to greet him on the day of, but he got his set up going and was ready to begin on time. Music choices were absolutely fantastic. Killed it at the social hour and the reception. 10/10 recommend to all couples planning their wedding.

    We love Phil!

    10/10 would recommend. Phil is so professional, very detail-oriented, and knows how to make you feel like he's got it all taken care of - because he does. He makes you feel like you've been family since the very beginning. All of our wedding guests were raving about the music days and weeks after our celebration was already over, and we love how Phil truly incorporates what you as the bride and groom want to hear on your day, and then adds his own flair in to make sure the party keeps going all night long. He is amazing at what he does, and we are forever grateful!

    Most valuable wedding vendor

    My husband and I are beyond impressed with Phil’s professionalism. He’s so much more than a DJ as he helped us develop a timeline and kept us on track. He did so much better than our wedding planner provided by our venue. He kept people on the dance floor happy and he’s the best money we spent! From the amazing lighting and sparklers to committing to our insane requests, he’s amazing.

    Nonstop dancing!

    I can’t say enough good things about Phil!! He MC’d our wedding to perfection and carried the evening along with ease. His song selection was perfect and had our guests dancing and singing even during dinner! My husband and I didn’t leave the dance floor for our entire reception and neither did the majority of our guests. Everyone who came to the wedding commented on how amazing our DJ was. Phil is beyond professional and attentive- hire him!!!

    Dream Wedding

    It was a pleasure working with Phil. I had a good feeling from the beginning that we made the right choice. Phil took our music preferences, our plan for the wedding, and our vision for the day and was able to put it all together seamlessly! He’s also got some serious skills keeping people on the dance floor—most people stayed to the very end and the dance party was a highlight for our guests. It was also one of the things we looked forward to! We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Thanks Phil and the Fantastic Five!

    Top-Notch Wedding Master of Ceremonies

    I’m writing this review as the mother-of-the bride. From all accounts, our daughter told Phil that we were more “bar” people rather than “club” people. Well, whatever that meant to him, Mr. Montes interpreted the wedding music perfectly. He seamlessly mixed cumbias with Frank Sinatra and kept the 30’s Somethings bouncing on the dance floor until closing time. My husband was grateful to Phil for “holding his hand” (figuratively speaking) on how to approach speaking into a microphone for the speech and champagne toast that followed. We trusted that Phil Montes would be a perfect Master of Ceremonies at the Stillwell House venue in Tucson, and he was.
    Thank you for a stress-free evening!

    Your Guests Won't Leave the Dance Floor!

    Hands down, the BEST DJ you could ever hire for your wedding! Phil is incredibly professional and easy to work with. The process from inquiry to day of our event was seamless. It was apparent from the start that he was the guy to work once we told each of our vendors who we hired - his reputation precedes him. Our only fear as a couple for our wedding day was that people wouldn't get up and dance, and boy, Phil delivered on his promise that our guests would have a fabulous time. His playlist was truly curated to perfection, he knows how to read the crowd, and knows how to keep the party going! I swear the only time the dance floor remotely cleared was when it was last call for alcohol (and our bar bill was less than anticipated because people were just having a great time on their own!). Our friends and family continue to talk about how "that DJ was the GOAT" - we completely agree :)

    Hands down the best DJ

    Phil was amazing. He was always available for any questions I had and kept our party going on our special day. Everyone loved the music we played and being a bride who loves ALL genres Phil made the transitions soo smoothly that even people who don’t particularly like a certain kind of music were dancing to it. I would recommend you book him ASAP you will not regret it

    Perfect Experience!

    Phil was an incredible DJ. He helped us curate our whole music list and nailed the execution. He was a pleasure to work with and incredibly organized and thorough. His vast experience helped us not only plan our music but the entire schedule of our reception. He edited the dances with our parents as well so that they matched what we were looking for. His pyrotechnics were unexpected and really delivered a WOW for our guest. Highly recommended.

    The Best DJ Ever

    Phil was incredible in helping make our wedding the best it possibly could be. He is extremely organized and great at communicating. He was able to put our minds at ease going into our big day. The day of the wedding he was on time, had all the sound and lighting ready to go. Everyone in the audience appreciated the level of quality from the microphones and speakers so they could hear the ceremony. Every song request and timing was perfect.

    He added background music to our social hour to help set the mood for what was to come. He also added lighting and sparklers to the reception itself which made the event even more memorable. He was able to get the entire crowd energized and we had an incredible number of people join the dance floor.

    We couldn't recommend Phil and Fantastic Five more highly. He made our wedding go smoothly and people are still talking about the music and dancing to this day!

    Phil made our wedding memorable for us and our guests!

    Phil’s organization and attention to detail made our wedding memorable! He is knowledgeable in his craft and was able to keep our dance floor packed all night long!! He played music that related to a range of interests and age! Phil was professional and worked with the venue and photographer to keep the flow of the day/night moving smoothly, where I (the bride) never had to worry!! Thank you Phil!!

    Best Wedding DJ

    Phil is absolutely the best DJ around! He’s incredibly organized and met with us several times before wedding day to work through logistics and help us make important decisions about the flow and music for our ceremony and reception. On wedding day, Phil was so helpful working with our other vendors and our family/friends to make sure everything ran smoothly! He also picked the best music! We still get compliments from our guests on the amazing DJ and we highly recommend Phil and Fantastic Five to anyone looking for a wedding DJ!

    A Truly Fantastic Experience!!!!

    Fantastic Five Entertainment went above and beyond! Very professional and worked with us to personalize our wedding to make it a truly memorable day. The audio during the ceremony was flawless and on point. Phil had our guest dancing all night.

    The Perfect DJ for Our Wedding

    We hired Phil with Fantastic Five Entertainment after he was recommended to us by our Venue coordinator. Phil was professional and organized from our very first meeting down to the day of the event. We live in Louisville Kentucky so planning a destination wedding in Tucson (during an ongoing pandemic) was challenging. Phil helped us feel confident that our day would go as planned and he was flexible with us when needed. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and many of our guests have expressed to us that they were very impressed with the DJ. We would hire him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for being the perfect DJ for us, Phil.

    Phil is everything you need in a vendor - from start to finish!

    I cannot rave enough about our experience with Phil. From our initial chat, I knew he was the right choice for our wedding DJ. His energy and his expertise came off within minutes of our call.
    We appreciated that it was important for him to meet us in person prior. He met us and our families for coffee as we covered every small detail to make our day perfect! We kept in touch the week leading us as well, making sure every song, microphones, intro etc were ready to roll.

    Then - the night of! It was perfect. We still, weeks later, have guests commenting on what a fabulous DJ we had. I cannot recommend Phil enough - the perfect mix of fun & professional!
