Payslie Sent on 11/28/2023Phil 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. -

Gabby Sent on 10/29/2023Best 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. -

Hanna Sent on 04/18/2023Amazing 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!!! -

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. -

Ria G. Sent on 03/21/2022We 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! -

Lizette Sent on 02/22/2022INCREDIBLE DJ/MC!!! 100% recommend! If I had to plan my wedding all over again, the first vendor I would book is Phil!
I cannot overstate how happy I am that my husband and I chose Phil with Fantastic Five Entertainment as our DJ and MC for our wedding. Not only did Phil deliver above and beyond our expectations the day of our wedding, but Phil was also an absolute pleasure to work with. Many times, during our meetings/calls with Phil to prepare and plan day-of details, Phil had a wonderful way of making us feel at ease and relaxed. During these interactions, Phil struck a great balance of hearing and listening to our hopes for the wedding day while providing amazing knowledge and insights from his vast experience in the industry. Many of the decisions we incorporated into our day-of plans came as a result of learning from and trusting Phil’s insights – insights that proved to be extremely valuable!
Not only were my husband and I happy with Phil’s services, but there were also many guests (both family members and friends) who expressed they were thoroughly impressed with Phil’s DJ/MCing abilities. These guests expressed to us that they appreciated Phil’s professionalism in facilitating the transition between dinner, dancing, and other events during the reception.
Phil thought of every detail in advance and didn't miss a single part of the plan we made together. What was also impressive was Phil’s ability to adapt and successfully execute the last-minute changes we requested of him.
At the reception, I felt completely confident in allowing Phil to take the reins (this is saying a lot coming from a type-A person who is accustomed to having and prefers to have full control). I am so happy I trusted Phil to take over the course of the night, he did NOT disappoint and more importantly, his services allowed me to really enjoy the night. There was one thing I wanted most from the reception and that was for the dance floor to be full all night. With Phil's DJing, there wasn't a single dull moment on the dance floor! I am so lucky I can say I thoroughly enjoyed my wedding reception, and that is in large part due to hiring Phil as our DJ/MC.

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 :) -

We absolutely loved working with Phil. He followed our requests, utilized our song wish list, and gave us great suggestions. Phil helped us stay on schedule and was very on top of our timeline goals. I would recommend Fantastic Five to any bride! -

Maura Sent on 12/28/2021Top-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!

Absolutely the best! Phil helped us with organizing and keeping our day exactly the way we wanted. Not once did we feel like we weren’t on track or on schedule thanks to him. Made our day so much more smoother and worry free. -

Madison Sent on 09/16/2021The 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. -

Kelly Sent on 08/29/2021Fantastic DJ!
Phil was the absolutely the BEST DJ to work with! He is extremely dedicated to his work and wants to create the perfect environment for your wedding day. We appreciated Phil’s attentiveness and all of the support he gave us throughout the whole wedding process. We got married during the pandemic and our plans got changed and moved multiple times, but Phil was so accommodating, flexible and even was a DJ for us for both of our weddings. We are so thankful for him and appreciate his dedication to making our wedding day(s) the best experience ever! Trust me, you will not be disappointed with Phil as your DJ! We look forward to working with him in the future when we have important family occasions! :) -

April Sent on 04/07/2021Hire him...like right now!!
Working with Phil from Fantastic Five Entertainment was a stress free, fun experience! He made our wedding day a one to remember and was so detail oriented, never missing a beat (pun intended)! I was incredibly detailed about the songs I wanted played during the ceremony down to the minute/seconds and Phil executed it absolutely perfectly - it was a dream! Phil continually went above and beyond to make sure our day was absolutely perfect. I loved working with him because he was so on top of everything, reliable, always on time and responded very quickly and always willing to chat over the phone. On top of everything, we had to reschedule our wedding twice due to covid and he was incredibly accommodating going above and beyond to make our experience memorable despite multiple hiccups with covid! Phil made the process so seamless and was just a joy to work with. Phil’s playlists had us and our guests seriously dancing alllll night long. I 100% recommend his services. I will be hiring him for anniversary parties to come! -

Phil was so responsive and understanding throughout the whole process. He walks you through each step, and was one of the most invested vendors on our team. We knew we could depend on him to deliver a fun and smooth time for all! And plus, my father said he liked his voice! He's the best of the best DJ's out there! We received so many compliments from family and friends about our amazing DJ. Please hire him! :D -

Quinn Sent on 12/03/2019The most fun we've had dancing. Ever.
Music and dancing were top priorities for our wedding. Phil did an incredible job playing our favorite music throughout the reception and keeping everyone on the dance floor for our 4.5-hour dance party. From our initial meeting until after the last song at our wedding, Phil was very professional and considerate of our wishes. He made sure to familiarize himself with how we envisioned our celebration and offered thoughtful suggestions to make it even better. He carefully reviewed our timeline because Phil is not only a DJ, he also keeps the reception moving by directing guests where they need to go, announcing toasts and dances.
When it came time to party, Phil had everyone on the dance floor by reading the crowd and seamlessly mixing the greatest dance songs. We had an absolute blast and multiple guests raved about the music, saying it was the most fun they've had dancing. At the end of the night, Phil asked if we had a final song request. We had a hard time thinking of one because all of our favorite songs were already played!
Also, make sure to look at the different packages offered by Fantastic Five. Our package included set-up in three different locations, including sound for the ceremony, which was perfect for our venue with separate areas for ceremony/cocktail hour, dinner and dancing. The uplighting was also great for photos and made the dancing room really feel like a party. Overall, Phil and Fantastic Five are amazing! Phil is truly an expert DJ and takes his job seriously while prioritizing your fun and happiness. -

Katie Sent on 11/26/2019Perfect preparation and execution - book phil montes!
I cannot put into words how incredible Phil Montes is. He exceeded any expectations I had of what a DJ is or what a DJ does. He took such pride in our entire event - ceremony, reception and after party. I had complete confidence that what Phil said he would do, would be done and done right. He did not disappoint. Also, I want to point out that there was no hint of "cheesy MC", he was professional, caring and a complete chameleon, catering to our style and vision. Phil is the full package. No questions asked, he is worth every penny and more. BOOK HIM. -

Lexi Sent on 03/04/2019Fantastic five is fantastic
Phil,
We rarely, if ever, take the time to leave reviews for really any service. However, in this case we were inspired by an exceptional experience to help get the word out to anyone looking for the perfect wedding DJ. Fantastic Five Entertainment and our DJ Phil Montes were an absolute life-saver, not only on the day of our wedding with setting the exact atmosphere we were looking for, but also with the excellent customer service we received in the days leading up to the wedding. Phil is a true professional in the sense of the word. He instantly spotted the stress the wedding planning was causing my wife and went above and beyond to help calm her (which by the way made my life a whole lot easier). After every meeting with Phil, we left knowing we were taken care of and the wedding jitters would fade away. In our opinion, the music and setting the right atmosphere is one of the most important parts of wedding to get right and keep everyone in the proper mood for each moment during the wedding. Our biggest fear was that our guests would get bored, and no one would be dancing. Phil expertly put together a playlist based off our eclectic music preferences and song choices that blended together perfectly to create the perfect reception that kept the celebration going much later than we anticipated. Our vocabulary is too limited to fully describe what an he amazing job he did for us. All we can say is HIRE HIM. He provides far more value than what you pay for and will make your wedding just as magical as he made ours.
Sincerely,
Jake and Lexi Campbell

Micah Sent on 03/01/2019The best night of my life!
Phil of Fantastic Five Entertainment is of EXCEPTIONAL quality. His attention to detail, his patience, and his generous character made my wedding immaculate. Phil kept all of our guests smiling and did everything exactly as planned- the guy was even kind enough to check in on my wife and I throughout the evening offering us drinks and other wonderful options during the reception. He even discreetly collaborated with my wife to surprise me with wedding games! I simply cannot recommend him enough, he is without any doubt the best DJ and event organizer in the state of Arizona and I strongly believe him to be of the best in the country. My wife and I did A LOT of research and Phil was recommended to us by multiple parties. Waste no time in looking elsewhere- Phil of Fantastic Five Entertainment is the DJ you’re looking for. -

Alisa Sent on 01/21/2019Phil is professional, experienced, and knows how to start a party!
My husband is from New Jersey and has attended countless weddings, sweet sixteens, bar mitzvahs, and has a number of friends that are DJs. Its basically a right of passage for an Italian Catholic from New Jersey to think he is an expert on what to expect from a DJ. He and I both agreed that Phil exceeded all expectations, from the very organized and meticulous way he helped us plan and execute our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music. To the way he structured meetings, his organization skills, attention to detail, and how much he helped settle my husbands nerves the day of our wedding. Phil knows how to read a room and create a fun and lively vibe. Our reception was so much fun and attribute that to Phil. Phil is a class act with a great deal of experience and it really showed on his execution the day of our wedding. One of our wedding guests and close friends used to be a professional DJ in the Tucson area and was also really blown away with Phil and said he now has someone to refer people to.
We would recommend Phil and Fantastic Five Entertainment without hesitation to anyone looking for a premium DJ at reasonable price point who brings a aura of confidence, industry knowledge, ease of working with, and who really runs a tight ship the day of the event.

Phil was wonderful to work with! He was very professional, organized, and helpful in giving us advice and tips on what he has seen at other weddings as far as flow, timing, songs to choose from, etc. He was an excellent MC and kept the dancing going for the whole reception! I would definitely recommend him for any wedding. -

Melissa Sent on 12/10/2018Perfect Wedding Experience
Phil was absolutely amazing from day one. He was professional, kind, and knowledgeable about all aspects of weddings.
Every meeting with Phil was well spent. Our questions were answered, ideas were given, and great conversations arised. He also made sure the meeting place was convienent for all of us, so no one had to drive half way across town to meet.
When it came to the wedding, Phil dressed professionally and showed up early to get everything set up. The music was perfectly timed for the ceremony and our guests continue to tell us how there was never a hiccup or pause in the music.
We had a different and fun reception entrance. Our dreams and ideas were met above and beyond what we could have ever imagined. And I’d highly recommend the dry ice (“dancing on a cloud”). The effects were amazing and it didn’t leave anyone coughing or struggling. The fog stayed on the floor as we entered the room and as we danced.
The music was perfect. He played everything we asked for and more. He kept our friends and family dancing the night away. And he continued to check up on my husband and I, to make sure we were okay and everything was going well.
In addition to being a great DJ, Phil is also fantastic at planning a wedding. He helped us through making a timeline, to making vendor suggestions, and to making sure everyone was at the right place at once.
I’d suggest Fantastic Five to anyone who’s looking for a easy sailing wedding with some kick butt music! -

Phil, from Fantastic Five Ent. went above and beyond to make our wedding planning, and wedding day experience seem seamless to us. We’re positive so much thought and effort went into every detail of our day on Phil’s part because we felt no stress at all, and the music was on point! All of our guests, especially US had the best time dancing the night away. We couldn’t have chosen a better DJ. -

Ladonna Sent on 10/16/2018Five Stars for Fantastic Five!
Phil Montes was the first and only DJ we met with while choosing our entertainment vendor. There was no doubt - he was the perfect fit for our DJ for our wedding day. Very affordable as well with so many offerings. From the first meeting until the very last minute of the evening, he provided exceptional service. He was incredibly professional, accommodating, fun, energetic, personable and a great MC! Only positive things to say about our experience! Phil worked with my younger brother who played the guitar as I walked down the aisle. He also provided my Dad with great care as he prepped him to sing during our ceremony. Phil even went the extra mile to work with our bridal party on entrance songs/dance, proper name announcements and their toasts to help add some fun to our big day. Phil’s ideas and personal flare brought our evening to life, making each moment truly special and memorable. The evening flowed so smoothly, the lighting was just perfect and the music selection kept the dance floor busy all night, which was our goal. Most appreciated memory was our first dance where Phil took 3 songs and compiled them into the perfect combination. We loved it! Guests continue to compliment us on our DJ! Even telling us they have never danced so much at a wedding before! So amazing! So fun! Highly recommend Phil to all!
