    Exceptional Service

    Phil & Mary were wonderful to work with! We met and created a plan together and the day of the event flowed beautifully! So grateful we chose them and we'd do it again if an event should arise! :-)

    Thank you Rene! You and Harrall were wonderful to work with. Loved your music selections and you guests did too!

    Wedding day 5/31/25

    Phil was an excellent dj and very thorough. We met multiple times to go over the music and how I wanted things to flow. I would recommend Dj Birdsell to any bride!

    Thank you Erin, Mary and l had great time planning with you and then DJ and MC'ing on your wedding day. We love to see you and your guests have a great time. Take care and God Bless! Till we meet again. 🎶😊❤️👍

    They put in so much time and dedication to make your event perfect!

    Phil & Mary did an AMAZING job! We would highly recommend! We wrote down the songs that we wanted and Phil & Mary went over every song with us during our meeting and made sure it was a good fit. I felt confident in asking Phil questions about the wedding because he has done so many of them. He made us a timeline that was very detailed that we followed instead of our day of coordinators timeline. Phil & Mary made sure we were ready to move on to the next thing so we didn’t feel rushed. They came out to dance with us and Phil just made it so much fun! We would highly highly recommend them for any event! They’re amazing! And they put in so much work to make your event perfect!

    Overall awesome DJ

    Phil and his wife are super responsive from the initial phone call, to the pre-wedding planning meeting, and the day of coordination. It made the day go by smoothly and all requests for the timeline were met I always dreamed of one big dance party and everyone was on the dance floor thanks to Phil!

    Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Rachel for the great review. It was a pleasure meeting and planning with you and Alan and giving you that big dance party that you always dreamed of! Have a fantastic Honeymoon!

    Amazing pair!

    Such an amazing experience. Mary and Phil know how to organize, communicate and deliver. They made the entire process seamless and easy considering everything else that is needed to be worried about during this special time. Mary assisted my bride as well during the ceremony to grand entrance. Both were both extremely personable during the entire experience and made our special day easy and fun. Will certainly recommend them to my friends and family. They were both accommodating and listened to us. Thank you both very much!

    Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment's reply:

    Dear Kris and Sahara,
    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you two, and a lot of fun seeing your family and guests really enjoying themselves!
    Mary and I wish you all the best for what your future holds.

    Can't Recommend Enough!

    You will not regret hiring Phil! Phil is not only so nice and responsive, but he is also so professional. My husband and I were so reassured by his professionalism. Phil not only took our recommendations into consideration, but he knew exactly the right music to play to get people on the dance floor. He was the DJ for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and everything went so smoothly. Not only that, Phil's wife, Mary was there to help. Phil and Mary are such a great team and so fun!! They are a big part of why our wedding was such a good time. I even received positive comments from the guests. Please do yourself a favor and hiring them. I cannot recommend them enough!!!

    Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Brooke!
    You and Gustavo were such a pleasure to work with! Best Wishes and God Bless you both on you journeys in life as husband and wife!

    Star Wars Themed Party

    We hired Phil Birdsell to DJ our party at the Nugget in Sparks, NV. We were celebrating the end of our regional choral convention with a Star Wars themed "glow-in-the-dark" dance for 200 women. Phil and his wife, Mary were the perfect fit for our group who wanted a mix of pop/dance music from many eras. Phil was professional, timely, thorough, and affordable. He tailored the music and evening events to our party theme, and joined in the Star Wars fun too. His sound equipment was professional and perfect for the large ballroom. He was flexible with some last minute changes to the program and encouraged everyone to participate throughout the night. We danced the night away and didn't want it to end!

    Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Cyndi!
    It was so much fun doing your party!
    May the Force Stay With You!! We have April 20th penciled in for next year.

    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! 🎶👍🎶

    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!

    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!

    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)

    The Best of the Best

    My husband & I met Phil & his wife on a cruise some years ago & was immediately amazed at his talent, his knowledge & experience of the music industry. We became close friends & recently when one of our granddaughters was planning her wedding I said “it will be Phil for the DJ/MC or none” because I know how he cares about each bride & groom. This wedding was planned from out of town so he took as many zoom meetings as necessary. Phil takes all the worry out of your wedding. He can lead you from start to finish with any type of music you request . He keep’s everything flowing smoothly. He is a very experienced professional, very energetic & caring. You can’t go wrong in having Phil as your DJ/MC. I highly recommend Phil Birdsell Entertainment.

    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!

    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 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!

    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.

    Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment's reply:

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

    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!

    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 new wife and I couldn't have asked for a better DJ at our wedding! Phil was amazing! He made us fee like family in every planning meeting. He took care of EVERYTHING! He couldn't have made this process any easier on us. We had a smaller wedding with about 100 guests and he had everyone involved and on the dance floor having a great time all night! He almost made the ceremony run so smoothly with the music. We couldn't have wished for a better DJ than Phil. He was AMAZING! I would recommend him to ANYONE that would ask.

    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.

    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.

    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!!!!

    Phil Is the most fun and professional Dj I have ever met. He made my wedding day unforgettable. Every single one of my guest were saying how amazing he was. He Got everyone to dance all night long and kept everything flowing so perfectly. He also takes pictures for u and sends them to you. I wouldn't choose anyone else beside Phil Birdsell. He makes sure everyone is have a great times and gets on the dance flor with u and teaches the guest how to dance to songs like cha cha slide and cuspids shuffle. I give him 5 Stars on everything and wouldn't have changed a thing. I would recommend using Phil Birdsell for any event that u need a DJ.

    I love Phil. He is awesome, so easy to work with. 1st: No idea is too wacky for him.
    2nd: One month before the wedding he gets together and designs with you and your fiancé the ceremony and the reception music. My wedding was flawless. Even with our crazy idea of old western theme songs. Thank you so much Phil.
    All the best to you - Alisha and Bill Hurdle

    We all thoroughly enjoyed Phil's personable and friendly approach to providing his service with a passion. His willingness to accommodate all of our ceremonial and reception audio needs was most helpful. He was willing to help with the videographer's direct wireless feed from his ceremony system, a laptop slideshow feed to his reception system, and provide flexibility while keeping our reception lively and loads of fun. Everyone, and I mean everyone, that was there to share our day had an absolute time of their lives. He was a delight to work with and was considered extended family where we have everlasting fond memories to share forever.

    Phil is a gem, he really was exactly what we had hoped for in a DJ And MC. Friendly, knowledgeable, prompt (so much so than even we were!), and so much fun.

    Phil DJ'ed our wedding and we were very lucky to have found him. He was friendly, kept the party lively, even kept us on schedule throughout the night!

    We met for an hour and a half before the wedding to plan song choices and general layout. He was exceptionally helpful in guiding us to pick the music for the whole night, getting to know our preferences and style and putting together a great song list that everyone at our wedding could enjoy. He was also able to get some lesser known songs and to edit them perfectly for our ceremony. What is really great about Phil is how well he works with people. We felt at ease with him immediately, and he truly has a gift for communicating effectively and warmly with people, which is exactly what you want when planning your big day!

    Night of he was very enthusiastic and energetic. Everything we could have hoped for in a wedding DJ and more. He definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. He and his assistant were attentive throughout the night and helped out wherever they could, stepping in to carry heavy items for some of our elderly guests and even helping out when one guest fell and needed attention. Our family and friends all gave overwhelmingly positive feedback to us, both during the wedding and after about how much they enjoyed Phil's MCing and how helpful he was the whole night.

    Sorry for the long overdue review Phil! Thanks again!

From initial planning stages straight thru til last call and packing up and removing all his sound systems and lighting, he was nothing short of perfection!! The guests all loved him!! I would give him the highest possible kudos in every single category!

    Phil was an amazing DJ/MC and he helped to keep the party going all night long! All of our guests enjoyed the music he played, which varied greatly as we had several generations at our wedding. The dance floor was constantly full of guests dancing and having a good time, all thanks to Phil. Phil was always so responsive to emails and calls and very organized. During our planning meeting he walked us through everything and put my mind at ease. We interviewed several other DJ's before we met with Phil but as soon as we walked out of our first meeting with Phil my husband and I both knew we loved him and he was the person that we wanted to hire for our wedding. We loved working with Phil and would reccomend him to anyone who is getting married soon!!

    Phil was amazing! We had a detailed consultation before our wedding that really made us feel like we made the right choice. He took care of everything and kept the wedding flowing, I didn't have to worry about a thing. If you are looking for a fun, caring, detailed, and organized DJ I would defiantly recommend giving Phil a call.

    We had a wonderful experience with Phil. Our guests were on the dance floor all night! While we got married in California we actually live out of the state so all of our correspondence with Phil was via email and phone up until the wedding day. He Skyped with us for 3 hours to go over our wedding day schedule and details that we would not have thought about. We definitely recommend him.

    Phil was an absolutely amazing DJ and we honestly could not have asked for better! Everything flowed so seamlessly from the ceremony through to the reception and everybody had such a blast!!! We had people tell us that the ceremony was just the most whimsical, ethereal music for the setting and to be able to pull off that AND the amazing party music (and awesome lighting!) that followed at the reception is just something not many could pull off the way he did. It was simply perfect, what an amazing emcee! Not only that, but he went above and beyond to make sure everything went to schedule and flowed the entire time without a single hitch. If you asked me, I couldn't find even one tiny thing to complain about because everything he accomplished ran flawlessly and we are so happy we chose him for our wedding! From our friends to the grandparents to the kids, everybody had a great time on the dance floor! Thanks so much Phil! You really did bring the fun to our wedding :)

    Great sound, professional, awesome DJ. Most importantly, he was a great MC for the reception. He talked just the right amount to make the reception both entertaining and responsible (keep up with schedule). We got so many compliments from our wedding guests about our DJ that we knew we hired the right guy. I highly recommend Phil to DJ your wedding or any other event.

    Phil provided everything we needed before the wedding, during the wedding, and after the wedding. He went above and beyond in so many ways. He made us feel very comfortable and answered all of our questions. He was honest and his contract was very clear. We are extremely happy that we chose Phil to be our DJ. He generously met with us in person to go over the music for the entire day and he even sent us a CD copy of all of the main songs from our special day. We listen to the CD all the time now! Phil also sent us pictures that him and his assistant took throughout the night! Some of these pictures are our very favorites. We are very pleased with the quality of service and value we received. We received many compliments from our wedding guests and we had to add a time extension at the end of the night. Phil was flexible and met this request with ease, he kept the party going and we had the best night! To the couples searching for a DJ, I encourage you to consider Phil. We definitely recommend him!

    Woo hoo!!!!! Phil Birdsell is the best DJ you can get. His genuine care and talent are highlighted by his ability to excite a crowd, cater to the couple's interests, and bring joy and happiness to all age groups. Phil was an exceptional part of my wedding, and I'm sure one of the main reasons our guests said it was the best wedding they'd ever been to. Email or call Phil - he is extremely responsive, and professional in answering any and all questions you may have. Then meet him in person with your fiance, so you can both see for yourselves how much Phil puts passion and love into his profession, and you will both begin to grasp how much Phil will be a crucial part of your wedding and the FUN he exudes. I have the highest recommendation for Phil Birdsell, he goes above and beyond every single step of the wedding (pre-, during, and post) and will guarantee to exceed your expectations. Phil Birdsell will create a phenomenal DJ experience for you and your wedding guests.

    We did not have a wedding coordinator to organize our day and keep everything moving on track, so Phil's ability to organize and execute our entire ceremony and reception timeline was invaluable. I cannot speak highly enough of him, I would recommend him to anyone. He came highly recommended to me, and I can see why. If you're at all even considering him, do yourself a favor, and stop your search... you found him.

    I am so happy I choose Phil to DJ my daughter's wedding in Ventura Beach, CA. He was so professional and awesome, everyone was so happy with the music and professionalism he presented himself to the highest level of quality. Very, very happy.

    The most professional DJ Phil Birdsell you out did yourself. July 18th was to be the perfect day for our daughter's wedding but Mother Nature had other plans. Phil started the amazing music planned for the wedding, put on a plastic rain poncho made sure all the guest got into there seats under the tent and entertained till the wedding started. It was a because of Phil keeping everyone up and dancing in the rain that so many of out friends said it was the best wedding they had ever attended... Not many people can say they danced in the rain at their wedding to unbelievable music. Played by the best DJ around So when booking your events make sure you only use the BEST.... Phil Birdsell!!
    Thanks again from the bottom of my heart, you rock!

    I just had my wedding on 7/17/15 and Phil played a huge role! If you want one less thing to worry about for your wedding, book Phil! He was quick to reply to every call and email, so professional, and made our wedding personal. He kept the flow of the night on track and kept people involved. He took the time to make the perfect playlist for us and we honestly couldn't have been happier. On top of all that, he gives your pictures he took that night which is a great treat to have while waiting for the professional photos to come back! We seriously loved Phil!

    Phil was excellent to work with. He was so personable and professional which made our event stress free, allowing us to really enjoy the day. I would work with Phil again for sure and would absolutely recommend him for a Perfect Day!

    Phil is an exceptional DJ and entertainer. We had our wedding in San Diego at the end of June and Phil made it such a special day. He spent time with us about a month before the wedding to set up all the songs that would be played throughout the reception. Our guests had a fabulous time at our wedding and we can credit Phil for making it a PARTY! We first met Phil when he was the DJ for my sisters' weddings 9 and 7 years ago. Since then he has done countless friends and relatives weddings and events. Everyone has such a blast, they can't wait to have him help throw their party too. If you want to work with a true professional who cares about the details and knows how to party, hire Phil!

    Phil was truly amazing. As this was our first, and hopefully only wedding, we were overwhelmed with all of the planning and idea of scheduling our day. Phil did this for us. Not only did he create an entirely custom musical experience that expressed our style perfectly, he scheduled every moment from start to finish. We did not have a day of coordinator because we had Phil and I had a fantastic maid of honor to keep things on track. Phil made our entire day flow so seamlessly. Phil was super gracious and calm as my loud family decided they all wanted to give speeches after I asked them not to. He then got the mic back very politely. He even helped us plan a way for my fiance to get his garter toss without me having to have him go up my dress, something that I was very uncomfortable with.

    I want to have another party so that Phil can DJ, he is worth every penny, and then some. I will use Phil for everything from here on out.

    My wife and I were lucky enough to meet Phil at the Camarillo Bridal Showcase last year, and even luckier to have won a discount on his services. I never thought about the fact that your wedding DJ will be part of your memories forever, but you can tell that Phil does. His one-on-one meetings are always going to be a blast in the midst of two different music tastes (mine and my wife's for example), and it is amazing how quickly and easily adapts.

    As far as the event, well we only had about 50 people at our wedding and there was one common statement made afterwards; There was more dancing at our wedding than most weddings with 200+ people. We both know that we owe that to Phil and is professional ability and experience to maximize the fun.

    Overall, his dedication and passion for what he does shines through and if you are looking for somebody to go above and beyond and take care of your guests, Phil needs to be your first choice--Scratch that, he needs to be your ONLY choice.

    We will love you forever for what you did for our biggest day, Phil.

    Warm regards,

    - Andrew & Kaley (newlyweds)

    Phil was such a perfect fit for our wedding. We were planning our wedding from out of town, and Phil was very accommodating, taking the time to Skype with us for hours to get everything perfect. He's very fun to work with and truly loves what he does. We received a lot of compliments on our music and on Phil's presence and personality as an MC. Several of our guests told us it was the best wedding they had been to, and we think Phil played a large role in that.

    On the planning side, he has worked with weddings for many years, so we took advantage of the guidance he offered with the logistics and flow of the reception. Everything was flawless, and he incorporated some fun elements that made the reception really special and memorable. He was very easy to get in touch with and always responded quickly to our questions. Another nice perk is that he captured some great photos of the night and sent us some prints along with a CD of select music from our wedding. Truly special!

    Phil just DJ MC’d our wedding in August and everything was excellent, exceptional and beyond perfect, thanks to Phil! We had such an amazing time planning and the best time partying with him! He is a true professional and an excellent crowd leader! Not to mention he has a phenomenal voice. We really can’t thank him enough! DJ Phil IS THE BEST!

    After we met with Phil for our initial consultation, we knew we were going to have a great wedding. He was really interested in getting to know us as a couple and really catering the event to exactly what we wanted. He is very organized and professional and overall great to work with. The day of the event, everything went really smoothly and he was very flexible with people arriving late but keeping the party rolling and everyone had a great time!

    Phil was the DJ at our wedding and he was amazing! He not only helped get my husband and I on track with a timeline for our day months before (which as the day got closer I learned how valuable that timeline was!), he continued to keep us on track the day of, played all our selected songs, and MC'ed the event beautifully. He was very prompt in his responses; he always responded to my emails, even my emails the morning of our wedding at 1AM! I had friends and family commenting about Phil days after the wedding saying how great he was. I am so happy we picked Phil as our DJ, don't know what I would have done without him. I definitely recommend him!

    Phil was the Disc Jockey & Master of Ceremonies for our wedding and reception and he was exceptional.
    There was absolutely nothing he could have done to make it better! Originally we were
    thinking about just using our I pod. Wow, what a difference! We were so glad and lucky to have found Phil for our Big Day!
    He was really on top of the schedule for the day and kept things flowing smoothly and fun,
    and without that our wedding would have been stressful!!!! He also knew how to keep people
    on the dance floor and that conga line with the maracas was fun/funny and really got people going! : )
    So glad to have Phil there to make such great memories for us and our guests. Thanks So much Phil!

    Phil was an outstandingDJ! He is professional, personable, dependable, and FUN!! He is a true professional in his field. He took 3 hours of his day to help us plan every detail to our wedding. If there were 2 songs I liked but couldn't decided, he merged them for me!! My wedding march was one of a kind!!! I loved it! He was an outstanding host to our wedding, and helped guide the evening so nothing was over looked or missed! He even noticed we didn't sit and eat so he made sure we sat down to eat!! We highly recommend Phil! You will not be sorry! He is outstanding!

    Phil could quite possibly be THE best MC/Wedding DJ of all time. We were so excited to have him at our
    wedding from the start. He really had us envisioning our entire day during our planning meeting and it
    had me itching to get to our reception so we could dance the night away. We were given compliments
    about Phil by our wedding guests because he got the party started and it didn’t stop until we left the venue.
    Thanks to Phil we have some great dance floor pictures and we hope to party with him again soon!

    Phil did an excellent job for us with all of our sound needs at our rehearsal dinner, ceremony music, and wedding reception! He is a really professional, knowledgeable, and responsive Wedding DJ / MC.

    During our planning meetings, he offered insight and support and a listening ear. He played all the music hubby and I wanted from the 1940's up to the 2010's plus requests, just when we wanted it played. He was great at reading the crowd and checking in with bride, groom, and event manager to keep things rolling right along and timed perfectly.

    Everyone had a blast!! His personality is upbeat and sensitive at the same time. I received many compliments from friends, family, and the Venue staff at Arts and Letters Cafe. They want him to do all of their parties! Great Job!

    Our recent wedding was so much fun for me and my guests that people couldn't stop talking about it for days! And it's because of Phil! My friends who normally wouldn't of gotten up and danced at an event actually danced a lot with me. Phil was not only professional but he was he was fun to get to know and made our wedding very personal and had creative ideas to include our 3 children and make our ceremony meaningful and beautiful! I can't express enough how impressed I am with Phil and what a wonderful event he made our wedding! I would highly recommend him to any Bride and Groom choosing a DJ!

    Phil was such a great man to work with. My husband and I were pretty difficult with our busy time schedule and werent able to have much time with Phil prior to our wedding, but that didnt stop Phil from making sure that everything we wanted was going to happen! He was willing to plan through phone calls and emails on a day to day basis and he worked with us in any way possible to ensure we had all the music we wanted. My husband and I are younger (22 & 26) and so we obviously love the latest and greatest music around. Phil had no problem finding every song we wanted, even the no name bands that we liked. He was able to capture the best moments through his music and he got EVERYONE to the dance floor. I believe there wasnt one dry forehead in the house when he was done with us. It was such a pleasure to have the chance to work with Phil! He is definitely highly recommended!!!

    Phil was fantastic. He is so personable, joyful and easily gets the attention of the crowd. We gave him a partial list of songs and the rest of the music he played was perfect. Phil did a wonderful job of transitioning from cocktail hour, dismissing tables, announcing the bridal party, etc. Our wedding took place in Los Olivos at the Figueroa Mountain Farmhouse. He dressed to match our style, sang a stellar Frank Sinatra song to honor my grandfather, and was all around a great guy.
    Not to mention he drove 3 hours from another wedding to fit us into his schedule, amidst the crazy SB Jesusita Fires.
    Bravo Phil, Bravo.
    We recommend your services to all!

    I hired Phil for my wedding & he was great. He not only dj-ed, but he brought lighting for the dance floor, MC'd the night & took some fantastic pictures.
    He was extremely reasonably priced, and he has tons of experience-- in fact one of the reasons I hired him is because he had a lot of experience at our venue,
    which was great because they have a very specific way they want the speakers set up so as not to bother the neighbors.
    He moved the events a long, gave the event some structure and played all of our fave music.
    And, he helped set up our friend that was going to play the keyboard during our ceremony.
    I'd totally hire him again and I could see him being super fantastic at djing a regular party as well.

    I can't say enough great things about Phil and the wonderful job he did for my daughter's wedding ceremony and reception. Phil was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end!!!! I received many compliments that night, as well as, a couple of days after the wedding about how great Phil was. The music wasn't too loud that people couldn't converse. He kept the party going and going. I highly recommend Phil and will use him again!

    Phil was awesome!!! We booked him for our wedding ceremony and reception. He was entertaining and kept the entire event running smoothly. He is very detail oriented and organized and took the time to meet with us to plan our event in detail. He is very friendly and professional and my own mother actually thought he was a good friend of ours because of how well he knew us and the interactions we had with him. Phil's effort to plan and execute our ceremony showed that he really cared about the success of our wedding. Phil went above and beyond by creating a CD of our important songs from the wedding and reception and taking, printing out, and sending us pictures that he took during the event. If you want to ensure that your event flows and you and your guests have a great time, you should definitely book Phil for your event!!!!

    AMAZING! AMAZING!! AMAZING!!! You CANNOT go wrong by hiring Phil!

    On a personal level, Phil is just a terrific guy! He is quick with a smile and always upbeat. He has a genuine heart. I went to five bridal shows, and DJ's there are a dime a dozen--UNTIL I MET PHIL! I knew that he was the DJ for our wedding!

    On a professional level, Phil is so easy to work with and he genuinely LOVES what he does. He takes the time to sit down with you before the wedding and get a feeling of what music you like, how you envision your wedding, what songs are favorites, wedding/reception timing, etc. If you think about it, your DJ is the "conductor" of your wedding. You will be very happy if you hire Phil. Honestly, he was the ONE vendor that I did not worry about "getting it right".

    After the wedding he sends you a CD with your music, and photos that he takes from his viewpoint. He just adds those special touchs that aren't necessary, but so appreciated. He goes above and beyond!

    Thank you SO much Phil! You truly made our magical day, even MORE magical! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND him!

    Phill Birdsell did an awesome job as our DJ at our wedding. From doing the ceremony and reception it was the total package of pure profesionalism, and made the event and our guests have the greatest time. Phils suggestions and knowledge was over the top and we couldn't have hired anyone else that would have done the great job Phil did. Phil knew we had a busy schudule before the wedding and he accomodated it and that really helped alot. We recommend Phil for any occasion wedding to any party if you want the best then Phil Birdsell is your man,. We would recommend him to everyone

    Phil was an amazing DJ. Not only did he work within our budget, but he put thought and effort into making our event special. From our planning meeting to suggesting and sampling many songs for different parts of the ceremony. Our wedding day was crazy enough having to move an outdoor event into an inside one do to rain and lots of it. However, Phil managed to roll with the punches and get it taken care of without adding to the craziness... Which was so appreciated. It should also be noted that he went to the venue prior to the event to familiarize himself with the lay out etc... Which also helped lessen the craziness of the day. Great experience and highly recommended! Thanks for everything Phil!!!

    Phil was an excellent dj. He kept my daughters wedding and reception alive and full of excitement. Phil was recommended to me by 2 friends that were at 2 separate events. I can now highly recommend him.

    Phil was so amazing at our wedding! This is the second time we have used him in the family and we will continue to use him for future events! He is so involved and so upbeat and creating our timeline and playlist for the wedding was so much fun! We wanted the whole wedding to be fun and personal to us and he did that, including playing "Tequila!" during our ceremony! He took his time and we never felt rushed about anything. Then to go above and beyond, he took pictures throughout the wedding and we got some amazing pictures of us and our guests dancing throughout the night! Our experience was another great one thanks to Phil's passion and expertise! Thank you again Phil!

    Phil Birdsell's services are top-notch! He was incredibly helpful in coordinating with us and making sure we had a smooth flow of events during our wedding reception, and provided great input not just on music but also on order of events, wording, and plenty of other details! Phil went far above and beyond what we expected from a wedding DJ.

    He's charismatic, energetic and is all-around easy to work with. I couldn't imagine going to anyone else for our DJ services for the wedding!

    Phil was exceptional! I was referred to him by my best man who saw Phil at another wedding. He is very professional in terms of appearance, having the right equipment, making appropriate announcements and having a large music collection. But what really sets him apart is his enthusiasm in terms of getting and keeping the party going. If you are lucky, he may sing a song or two ;) Overall, a great experience.

    Phil is just awesome and is as good as it gets! Out of all the Dj's I researched and spoke to, Phil was hands down, THE BEST and with a VERY reasonable price! He's not someone that plays just music, but he also entertains and gets your crowd involved. He kept the dancefloor packed and our guests loved him. Never a dull moment with Phil and our wedding Ceremony and reception couldn't have gone any smoother.
    Phil is profressional, very detailed, friendly, and you can tell he has a Passion for what he does!
    WE MISS YOU PHIL! I hope to cross paths with you and see you at the next event! Say Hi to Carol for us too :)

    Phil was the most amazing DJ we could have asked for! He was professional, helpful, and his attention to detail was unbelievable! He took care of everything and made sure the entire night ran smoothly and perfectly. I cannot say enough great things about him. My guests could not stop talking about how engaging he was and that they loved the variety of fun, upbeat music he played. I recommend him to everyone I know!!!
