Holly Sent on 11/04/2024School Event - Amazing
Manna Music DJ was simply put the best dj for our event. Mark was beyond professional and so kind. He made sure to have all the songs that we requested and if he did not have them, he downloaded them immediately. Mark's equipment that he brought including lights were perfect. I will never go to another dj for one of my school events. -

Phil was the DJ at our friends' wedding years ago, he blew us away. Phil knows how to mix, knows the latest songs, and knows the classics. He knows how to work with other professionals. Most recently he was the DJ for my nephew's wedding by my recommendation. Everyone was out on the dance floor. I'd change the date of an event before I'd try another DJ! We have been at other weddings where DJs are unprofessional, don't know what they are doing, or have poor sound systems. You don't realize it but the DJ can make or break the day, it is really worth it to find a great DJ! -

Stephanie Sent on 10/15/2024The best!
Phil was awesome to work with! He’s professional, experienced, detail oriented, and easy to communicate with. The music portal is very user friendly and we had lots of phone calls and a meeting before the big day. We had an idea of what we wanted played but he helped fill in some blanks and he really knocked it out of the park! The dance floor stayed packed the whole night. From guest arrival to cocktail hour to dinner & the reception, everything was perfect. I’m getting so many compliments on the music and that’s all thanks to Phil. He made our night so special. Don’t hesitate to book with Manna Music! -

We really couldn’t have wished for a better experience with our DJ. From the very beginning Phil was very responsive and helpful. He gave great tips during the planning process, explained everything to us, and even coordinated the ceremony flow. It seemed like he really wanted to get to know us as a couple. We really felt he went above and beyond and felt like he was part of the family. Our dance floor was packed all night and everyone raved about the music selection as well as the transitions between songs, he even came dressed to impress. We wouldn’t change a thing. Our day simply wouldn’t have been the same without experienced, caring vendors like Phil. -

Kelly Sent on 11/28/2022Phil was Amazing! PACKED Dance Floor
Phil was everything we could ask for in our wedding DJ! Took the time to get to know us ahead of the event and what kind of music we liked. Was very detailed from the name pronunciations (Had some tough names and he crushed it) all the way to the last song. It was a perfect night and Phil helped make sure of it. It was the most packed dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG. Highly recommend! -

ABSOLUTELY recommend Phil w/ Manna Music for your DJ needs! Our original DJ completely ghosted us the day of our wedding and Phil literally saved the day!! He was at the venue and ready to go in less than an hour! Everyone said they wouldn't have even known there was an issue because he did such an amazing job. He got all of our songs down for the cake cutting, entrances, bouquet toss, etc. and was able to read the crowd for the rest. The dance floor was NEVER empty. We were amazed at the wonderful job he did with no time to prepare. Thank you so much Phil for saving our special day! -

Nicole Sent on 08/28/2022Phil/Manna Music is a Dream DJ!
If you are looking for a perfect 'soundtrack' for your upcoming event, BOOK PHIL FROM MANNA MUSIC!
10 years ago, my cousin hired Phil for her wedding and it was the first time my entire family was on the dance floor at a wedding. Even my 70 y/o Grandmother was busting a move. We had so much fun, I had always hoped he would be available for whenever I got married.
THANKFULLY he was!
Phil was wonderfully professional and went above and beyond in making sure our day was set up for success. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, he made sure to ask any and all questions the make sure we all knew what to expect, corrected and updated audio files that I inadvertently corrupted, AND was able to get all my relatives back on the dance floor.
I can only speak for Phil, but I know all his other DJ's are wonderful to collaborate with as well!
Thank you Phil for making our day spectacular! -

Mark Warner with Manna Music tied our entire Wedding together beautifully, from the Ceremony to the Reception! He was so organized and efficient that I was completely worry free and had all of the confidence in him, from the time I began planning to the very end of the event. I would highly recommend his services! -

Jess Sent on 06/01/2022Manna Music is Amazing!
From the first conversation I had with Phil, I felt confident I had chosen the right DJ for my wedding. He listened so well and thought of every detail that I didn't. He takes his time to make sure everything he is doing is the way you want it and when it came to wedding day everything came together so well and I received many compliments on my DJ! Phil even set a part time out of his schedule to visit my venue weeks before my wedding to make sure he knew the venue well, so set up would go well without a hitch on the actual day. I will be recommending Manna music to all my friends for their future weddings! -

Manna Music was outstanding. I would recommend him to anyone. He was so easy to work with and made our wedding vision come true. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was exactly how we wanted it to be. He kept everyone dancing all night with a wonderful variety of music for all guests! -

He was very accommodating when we moved our date to the following year. Reviewed music choices as well as when to play them. Our guests absolutely loved him as well. He was professional, on time, helped to keep me on track, honored requests from guests. He easily got the crowd involved and on their feet. -

Kirsten Sent on 09/27/2021Amazing experience!
Phil is a phenomenal DJ! People were on the dance floor all night. He took the songs that we requested and added to the list, making a playlist that fit perfectly with our tastes. I received SO many comments on how wonderful he was throughout the night (and after)! Thank you for a great party, Phil, and for letting us be a part of your birthday too! :) -

Phil is the best! After our horrible DJ from Admit One Dj Company failed to provide their services to us because of Covid-19, my husband and I came across Phil from the knot's wedding reviews and boy were we happy we went with him. Phil is the most thoughtful, kind, and most fun DJ. When it came time to discus the wedding, Phil personally took us out to lunch to discus exactly what we wanted for our wedding. He honored everything we asked for, even when he had to tell a lot of guest who were requesting music no to honor my husband and mine requests. Phil had our dance floor packed from the minute the party started until the last dance. He is someone I would hire for any event. Phil did not disappoint! -

Pete Sent on 06/22/2019Manna Music - Phil Is the DJ you Want for your Wedding!!
Our DJ, Phil from Manna Music was fantastic!!! My wife and I spent some time presenting & reviewing music with Phil prior to our wedding!! Phil gave us feedback on the music that we requested. He knew what people want to hear & dance to at a wedding. He came thru, people told me that it was the best wedding they have attended. People attending said it was the best place list at a wedding ever. The last song was the Beatles "Golden Slumbers, Carry That weight, The End". We had every one hugging on the middle of the dance floor singing!! I will never forget that. Phil nailed it!!! I would love to have him back again for another event!! Thanks Pete & Cathy!!! -

Gwen Sent on 05/26/2019Phil is awesome!
We are so lucky to have found Manna Music. Phil was the perfect DJ and for a great price! Once dinner was over, our guests did not leave the dance floor. My family explained that at every wedding they go to there is a lull in the dancing where people take a break but Phil had them on the dance floor all night! He was so easy to work with and was such a big help picking songs for different parts of the night. The whole process leading up to the wedding was so easy and organized. He even worked with my maid of honor to surprise me with a rap for her speech. He is such a nice guy and did an amazing job! Thank you Phil!!! -

Caitlin Sent on 11/05/2017Phil is seemingly a local legend. He is such a nice guy and wants nothing more than to please the bride and groom. He knows how to read a crowd and keeps the floor packed. We loved working with Phil! -

Jordan Sent on 09/17/2015Phil has been our DJ for 3 family weddings, so it was no question that he would be the DJ for ours. He is amazing. he knows how to make the party hoppin- and that's why we keep coming back to him. He makes the day about the couple, keeps people on the dance floor, and knows how to make everyone happy.
He has an excellent memory and works hard to make the night special for the couple. Phil truly is the BEST. He works so hard and is a one-man-show. I don't know how he does it all but it's incredible. -

Katie Sent on 10/08/2014Manna music is an excellent company and I highly recommend them! Phil was very easy to communicate with before my wedding and he clearly cares about his job. We got tons of feedback from our guests about how much they liked the music, and we had the time of our lives. Thanks Manna Music! Everything was perfect! -

Mike Sent on 10/28/2013Phil Szaflarski was a consummate professional, having a solid foundation crafted over years of experience. His music library was unbelievably extensive and he was more than willing to purchase songs, at his expense, if they were not in his collection; everything from old to new...if it's playing on the radio today, he's got it! A very passionate individual, Phil was attentive to our needs at all times, including months leading up to and during our wedding. Working hand-in-hand with our reception venue, he made our wedding flow seamlessly. All of our guests knew what was going on and where to be at all times. The big question everyone looks to have answered with DJ reviews is: Was the dance floor full all night?...and we can emphatically say YES! Phil's web presence (check him out on Facebook), online song listening/confirmation platform and dedication to having the best sound equipment on the market to fit your venue (as well as lighting equipment) put him way above the rest. We just can't say enough about how detail oriented he was and how from the first meeting we had, we knew he would always have our best interests in mind...and if you think your guests can't tell that sort of stuff, you're wrong! We had numerous compliments on Phil's DJ skills as well as his interaction with our guests. Our advice is to grab him up as quick as you can! Bring ideas, big or small, to the table, as he wants your event to be a reflection of you...rather than him deciding everything off a blank canvas. Don't be shy to ask questions if you have them. Looking back, my wife and I were so lucky that Phil wasn't already booked up for our big day and I feel like we got a friend out of the deal too. :-)

Amy Sent on 07/14/2013After meeting with several DJs for our wedding, we decided to use Manna Music and I am thrilled that we did! From the moment we met with Phil he made us feel comfortable and within minutes it was easy to see how important it was to him that our day was perfect! Our wedding and reception was at the Joliet Train Station and because of the size of the room and tall ceilings, it can be hard to provide good, clear sound but Phil got it just right! The music was clear and easy to sing along with...which makes people want to get up and dance! My father, who is a hard man to please, is still talking about the great DJ we had and how friendly he was! During the planning process Phil was super helpful and more than accommodating to our requests. We didn't use the traditional songs for our ceremony and he made sure that he had every song we requested on hand. While he was willing to play anything we asked, he gave us is expert opinions on what would or wouldn't work well. We trusted Phil's expertise and he was right on point for everything! We can't even begin to really express our satisfaction with Manna Music. I would highly recommend Manna Music to anyone looking for a DJ. We are holding on to their business card and will definitely be calling for our next party! -
