    Phil and Mary are the best!

    Phil and Mary were absolutely wonderful to work with! They are professional, fun, and enjoyable to work with before and during the wedding. They kept our special day on schedule, kept everyone in tune with the goings on, and got everyone dancing! I have been to multiple weddings where few people dance and it's rather uncomfortable. This was not our wedding! EVERYONE Danced! Phil and Mary can read the room and play what's appropriate and when. They are a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend them!

    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.

    Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment's reply:

    Thank's Garth for the great review! It was fun putting your music together for the banquet and seeing the reaction on people's faces during the awards! 🎶👍🎶

    A Flawless Hire and Experience

    We are SO glad we hired Phil, him and his wife are not only an amazing team but are true skilled professionals. The whole process from beginning to end was dare I say...EASY! Which is not common for planning a destination wedding on your own. They helped make our wedding so special and we danced all night long. Our families aren't big dancers but Phil did a great job of trying to keep people on the dance floor in a way that wasn't cheesy or obvious but was done in a way that shows the art of being a great MC.
    We also had a live violinist who he also had to coordinate with and that in of itself was seamless. If there was one vendor we definitely didn't have to worry about being prepared or organized it was Phil which was amazing.
    I would recommend hiring him to all of our friend and family, although that isn't really required since he proved himself to be a truly skilled DJ. I am so lucky to have found him and his wife to make our day truly special.

    Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment's reply:

    Thank You Micheala for your fantastic review. It was a pleasure to plan with you and Christian and be such a special fun part of your wedding day! It was "Heavenly"! Congratulations again!

    Thank God for this couple. They were more than happy to accommodate mine and my husband's particulars wants for our wedding. The wedding moved along faster than we thought and Phil and Mary were awesome with adapting and keeping things interesting and fun!

    Epic entertainment!

    Dj Phill is an excellent MC and DJ! We got married on 10/10/2020 with about 50 guests in attendance. Due to COVID-19 we weren't able to meet in person before the wedding, but several emails and zoom sessions before the wedding we had a plan for the music and general flow of the evening. Phill had us fill out song selections of song that we love and a Do Not Play list. He was able to accommodate our uncommon song requests and true to there word nothing on out do not play list was played. They kept us on schedule for the speeches (even wiped down the mic with sanitizing wipes in between speakers) and dances. They had some wonderful recommendations for us with cake cutting music and they got our parents dancing thriller. From start to finish our guests were able to enjoy music for a flawless evening. I highly recommend DJ Phill entertainment, they're exceptionally professional. (Sorry for the late review. #newlyweds#forgetful)

    Phil Birdsell can entertain a crowd of any age! He is versatile and talented and really engages his audience. We hired him for a birthday/retirement party and had people from 0-80 + years of age. Everyone enjoyed him! His voice is absolutely amazing and his personality is perfect for making the party or event so much fun! I would certainly recommend him to anyone!

    Phil is THE BEST!! From helping with song choices, MC'ing the nights events, and keeping all guests on the dance floor, he is the one to choose. Not only does he have years of experience but he gets to know his clients and personalizes the event specifically for them. He did not disappoint. Phil even made us a Wedding CD with all the music from our day!! What a nice touch!!! If you want to be satisfied and your guests too, then Phil is the one for you!!

    Hi, Phil! I hope you're reading this! If you're looking for a great DJ, stop wasting your time and book Phil. The reason I love reviews is because they helped us find the best vendors for our wedding. Here is why we loved Phil so much; he has an inviting presence, he is hilarious, and he engages the crowd. EVERYONE at our wedding had a blast, and a great deal of that is owed to Phil. He also takes the time to make sure every single request is met and discussed at length, and he goes the extra mile to ensure everything will come out perfectly. Thank you for everything, Phil!

    Love, Shirley & Jeremy

    Phil was recommended to us by another happy couple and I am SO glad that they connected us! From our initial phone call Phil was super genuine and easy to work with. You can tell he really cares about each wedding that he does and wants you to be happy. He takes the time to meet with you and not only talk through your music preferences but also what feel/vibe you want for your wedding. And then he makes it happen! My husband and I really wanted a fun, lively dance floor and we were blown away with the party that Phil kept going all night long! We will never forget seeing all of our guests out there on the dance floor and Phil made that happen for us. Added bonus- he's fairly priced! Thank you Phil for the high quality service and priceless memories!

    Clearly hands down one of the best. From our first meeting with Phil over 10 years ago we knew we made the right choice for our Wedding DJ. During that first meeting, we discussed what we definitely wanted to hear and what music should absolutely be not played.

    Phil adhered to all of our wishes and offered great suggestions and advice.

    Fast forward 10 years later and we hired Phil again for our 10-year anniversary party. There is no doubt that we made the right choice. The music was excellent and Phil was very instrumental in getting everyone up, dancing and having a good time.

    We would not hesitate to hire Phil again. In fact, we have recommended him to a number of our friends and they ended up hiring him and told us they were happy with their decision. Do not hesitate, call Phil today!

    Oh my goodness where do I even begin?! Phil is one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning! Our coordinator had to do hardly anything because Phil basically planned out our whole itinerary! He is amazing at what he does and his positive uplifting energy just makes you feel so good! Just talking to the guy puts a smile on your face, so I knew my guests would have an awesome time if he was there! When we had our meeting to go over the song list, he was so great at helping us visualize it all coming together. Needless to say, the dance floor was never empty! He played all the right songs at all the right times! So many of our guests came up to us and said they had so much fun and it was the best wedding they've ever been to! I know for a fact, Phil played a major part in that! When we returned from our honeymoon, we came home to a nice surprise! Phil sent a personalized cd in the mail with a soundtrack that played on our wedding day. That disc holds memories that will last a lifetime and it was such a kind gesture. I can't express how happy I am with having Phil DJ our wedding! It's been the best experience and I can't thank him enough!

    Phil is the best!! We heard about him from our family friends whose daughters BOTH used him for their weddings! We reached out to him and knew right away he was going to be the one for our wedding. We met him in person and talked for 2 hours and he is just a wonderful human being who truly wants to make your day magical! We walked through the whole night and he helped us make a timeline for our special day.

    Phil goes above and beyond to make your day special. He is not only a great DJ but also a wonderful MC who truly connects with people! He always kept the party going and added his own special touches like singing along with the Elvis songs (he does a great impression!!). He had our timeline out and ready and followed it just like we wanted. He played the songs we wanted and everything went so smoothly.

    Phil also brought an assistant with him and both of them were taking pictures all night. His assistant would walk around and get candid shots of people dancing and hanging out. It was nice to get some extra pictures besides the ones from the photographer. If you are looking for an amazing DJ, MC, and genuinely kind-hearted, fun-loving person, Phil is that guy!

    We were not even sure if we wanted to have an MC at our wedding but we are so happy that we found Phil! He took the time to meet with us so we could discuss our vision for our special day and discuss options for the music and announcements. We wanted to keep our ceremony and reception very simple and Phil helped us do that while still creating touching moments with his music selection and his coordination of the reception kept everything moving smoothly

    Phil was the DJ at my Daughters wedding on 3/11/17 but he is more then just a DJ, he was an MC.
    He did a great job and I received comments from our guests that he was the best they have every seen.
    Some of the comments were about his sound system how they could hear every word when they were saying their vows.
    Phil is very professional, entertaining and will do whatever it takes to make your day special.
    He is simply the best and well worth the money. You will not be disappointed, if Phil is already booked on day of your wedding change your wedding date. He is worth it.

    Thank you for those kind words! It was an honor to be their DJ MC Entertainer!

    During our wedding, we received so many compliments on our entertainer/MC! Phil was very professional and he was such a pleasure to work with. We loved how much he engaged with everyone. You're not just hiring someone to play music, but you also are hiring someone to entertain your guests, and that is certainly what Phil did. Such an amazing job, Phil!!! We loved every second of our wedding!

    Wow! My bride and I were so impressed with Phil’s MC talents at our wedding and reception that giving him five stars is not enough!

    Everyone had such a great time and we have Phil to thank for making that happen! He has a high level of professionalism and experience and it made our special day so smooth and easy. His wit and humor kept us laughing and dancing all night long!

    If you need a MC/DJ and you want to have fun at your event and make it something you will always remember, then you need his amazing skills! Thanks so much, Phil!

    Phil is the reason my almost 80-year-old grandmother made it to the dance floor more than for just slow songs at my wedding. He KILLED it. Everyone loved him; he's become a bit of a folk legend amongst the family. Hire him. He's worth every penny, and he will make your day so, so fun.

    If you want an attentive DJ that truly cares about your wedding day, then Phil Birdsell is for you! Phil thinks about every detail. Phil is very interactive; he will keep your guests dancing all night. When we needed to adjust our time line during the reception, Phil adapted to the changes and created a smooth transition. After our wedding we have had 3 guests ask for Phil’s number and received many complements on our choice of entertainment. I highly recommend Phil! You will not be disappointed. Added bonus - Phil captures and posts many magical moments.

    My husband and I can literally not say enough good things about Phil! We hired him for our wedding and he was beyond fantastic. The awesome thing about Phil is he goes above and beyond his duty and is WAY MORE than just a wedding DJ...he was an MC and all around entertainer. He knows how to connect and make people feel comfortable and let me tell you our dance floor was PACKED the whole night! It was a special touch when he would come out and dance with the crowd himself and the day after the wedding he sent us TONS of candid photos from the days festivities that we aren't going to get anywhere else. We would use Phil over and over again and highly recommend him for your wedding. He will without a doubt help make it a fun and unforgettable evening!!!!! THANKS AGAIN PHIL!!!!
