    12/10 for Phil!

    Phil went above and beyond throughout the entire planning process and wedding itself! He had an initial meet & greet page to share all of his services, packages, and generally let us get a feel for his style to make sure it was a good fit.

    From there he passionate and invested in our event. He checked in several times leading up to the wedding (in a brief and efficient way) to make sure we were prepared and on the same page. Phil goes above and beyond being a DJ - he makes sure the event is running smoothly and helps with transitions, etc.

    He also allows you to be as hands on/off as you want to be with the music. We personally. shared a few playlists so he could get a feel for our style, but trusted him to take it from there.

    When it came to the wedding - he crushed it. He read the room and made some tweaks throughout the night, kept the energy up, etc. There was never a moment people weren’t dancing once it got started.

    Thanks again Phil!!!

    Unforgettable Memories: PPE Sets the Standard for Weddings!

    We had the pleasure of working with Phil Phest Events for our wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, creativity, and an unwavering commitment to making our special day even more memorable.

    The photo booth they provided was an absolute hit! Our guests couldn't get enough and it was busy all night. The quality of the photos was outstanding, and the setup was seamless. It added a whole new level of fun and engagement to our event as used the photos for our guest book!

    Phil Phest Events didn't just provide a service; they created an experience. Their attention to detail and willingness to customize the booth to match our wedding theme was exceptional. They truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect.

    Moreover, their team's friendliness and enthusiasm were infectious, creating an incredibly positive atmosphere that resonated with everyone.

    We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Phil Phest Events for weddings and corporate events. They are masters at what they do, and their dedication to customer satisfaction is unmatched. Thank you, Phil Phest Events, for contributing immensely to our special day!

    Excellent DJ

    Phil and his team were amazing! Neither of us are huge music people, so we loved that Phil was able to give us some song suggestions and play music based on the vibes throughout our wedding evening. Phil was very personable, eager to learn more about our wedding vision, and responsive.

    Best DJ Ever!

    From the PowerPoint presentation Phil had created during our first Zoom to the epic set list he created that kept all of the guests out on the dance floor, PhilPhest Events went above and beyond all of my expectations. All of the guests from my wedding said Phil was the best wedding DJ they’ve seen! I really appreciated the way he worked with my coordinator to keep the evening flowing smoothly. A true testament to his professionalism is the fact that my wedding coordinator (who had never worked with him before) ensured she had his business cards at the end of the night and said she planned to recommend him to her future brides.

    Amazing wedding experience with philphest

    My August 2023 wedding experience was nothing short of AMAZING with Phil. His attention to detail, knowledge about weddings, and DJ/Emcee services , presentation, and ability to keep all of your guest on the dance floor are only a few of the reasons I would recommend him to anyone! I did the whole
    package with Phil! Dj/Emcee, Intelligent lighting, upgraded sound system, but my FAVORITES were the photo booth and THE COLD SPARKLERS, they are an experience every bride should have! Thank you Phil for making our night unforgettable!

    Wedding DJ/Officiant

    Phil Phest made our wedding planning process much easier than originally though. Most of our stresses were eliminated the very first visit due to Phils outgoing personality and customer centric mindset. He catered to our requests and went above and beyond to incorporate his own ideas thorough his vast experiences which made our special day that much better.

    Highly recommend Phil Phest!!!

    Amazing DJ services!

    Can’t recommend Phil enough! Our planner recommended him for our 5.6.23 wedding and he was super professional and communicative the whole way through. I also loved the helpful tips he emailed in the lead-up to the wedding and the suggestions he made to my husband and I during planning calls — including the idea for a private last dance.

    On the day, he helped everything run smoothly and kept the dance floor bouncing! Multiple guests commented that they had never been to a wedding where people were out on the dance floor the whole time. Go with Phil — you won’t regret it!

    The best Dj!!

    Phill was by far the best decision we made for our wedding! Not only was he our DJ, but also our officiant and the provider of our photobooth! Phill made everything so easy and answered all of our questions faster than we could ask them! He made our planning process easy and our wedding a blast! The dance floor rocked all evening, and our photobook was filled with memories!

    Phil Phest Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review! It was truly a pleasure working and getting to know you two. Your dance floor was packed the entire time and it was so fun to be there. Wishing you both many years of love!

    A Must Hire

    We used philphest for our wedding on 10/29/22. What a great decision. The team did an amazing job and we never had a worry . We booked the officiant , DJ and photo booth . Saved us money this way as well. I really can’t say enough about how personalized our service and dj experience was. The photo booth was also a huge hit . When people weren’t on the dance floor they were at the booth having a blast . It was a great idea because as I was pulled in so many directions that day , when I received a digital copy of the photos I cracked up. My guests truly had fun and it made me happy.

    Highly recommend!

    Phil was amazing as our wedding DJ. He took care of our ceremony and reception music and MCed the whole night. He kept everyone on the dance floor all night and we had a blast. My husband had some very specific things he wanted and Phil brought them to life. He had plenty of suggestions and recommendations if you were stuck on something. I also love that his company offers so much more than just a DJ. He worked alongside and communicated with all of our vendors and even followed up with us after the wedding was over!!

    The dance floor was packed ALL NIGHT LONG!!

    We hired Phil from Phil Phest Events to DJ our wedding and reception. We knew we didn't want certain things (including an overzealous emcee) for our wedding and Phil delivered exactly the right amount of engagement to help our wedding ceremony and reception go smoothly and to keep the dancing and party vibes going. Phil got to know us and our music tastes and added some beautiful personal touches for us - like our reverse anniversary dance and shouted out birthdays, far-traveled guests, and anniversaries. We had a group photo taken at the start of the dancing so all the guests were on the dance floor and most of them stayed there all night! It was high energy all night and so many people remarked how they'd never been to a wedding where so many guests danced! I attribute that to Phil's skills! It was a memorable party and I would 100% recommend Phil Phest for a professional DJ for any event!

    Phil Phest Events's reply:

    Hello Alex! Thank you so much for the amazing review! I had so much fun at your wedding, you two and your guests were so much fun. You could truly feel the love that day. I love how you made everything uniquely you. Wishing you both many years of love, health and wealth!

    Exceptional Service for our Wedding Day!!

    From day one, Phillip was friendly, responsive, professional and paid attention to EVERY detail to help make the planning process stress free! One of the best aspects of Phil Phest is the multiple services offered. We hired Phillip for Officiant and DJ services and also booked a photo booth, which was a big hit with the guests! Phillip made a custom logo that printed out on each picture strip that perfectly matched our invitations, which was a detail we absolutely loved and we were able to print out multiple copies of each picture to cherish forever. Phillip and his team did an amazing job to seamlessly put together every aspect of the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They truly helped make our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!! We highly recommend hiring Phil Phest for your wedding day!

    Phil Phest Events's reply:

    Hello Esther! You rock - thank you for the great review! It was a pleasure working with you two. I loved working The Heron Room - such a unique space and great vibe. It was a honor to officiant your ceremony. You two looked stunning with your beautiful dress and his white suit! Your wedding pro team was top notch as well. It was such memorable day. Wishing you both many years of love! :)

    Best Decision Ever!

    We hired Phil for our May 2022 wedding, he was the best decision we made. Leading up to the wedding, Phil was so nice, organized, offered wonderful suggestions, and made us feel so comfortable, like we have known him prior to hiring him! During the wedding, he was on time, organized, helpful, played the absolute best playlist, read the crowd, did everything we asked, and made our night unforgettable! After the wedding I have received multiple compliments about Phil from our guest!!! He leaves the best memory and impression on your wedding day! This will be one if not the best decisions you make for your wedding. Happy Dancing! Cheers.

    Phil Phest Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the glowing review! What can I say about your day?! Your crowd was energetic and fun from start to finish. I don't think I've played that long after the ending time! I had such a great time. You two have the chillest vibe and it showed with the love in the room for you two.

    Glam Photobooth

    I wanted a ‘Kardashian’ Style Glam, black and white only, photo booth for our wedding. I have Phil a few examples, and he made it come to life. Exceeded everyone expectation. He was super easy to deal with, always reachable and truly delivered. He was fun and energetic when interacting with our guests too. I highly recommend him!

    Phil is not only a phenomenal DJ, but is also a phenomenal person to work with! He is very professional, organized, quick to respond to emails/texts, and he really knows how to put on a show! I honestly have nothing negative to say about him! Word of advice, BOOK HIM for your event before you miss out!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Phil and Sarah played such a big role in our wedding. We hired Phil Phest Events for DJ and photo booth services. On top of that, Phil followed a very detailed timeline and made sure everything was happening when it needed to be. Phil sat down with us and let us explain exactly what we wanted. When we weren’t sure, he offered very helpful suggestions. The photo booth was a huge hit. Sarah was so friendly and welcoming to all guest. Our wedding would not have been the same without these two!

    Phil Phest Events's reply:

    Thank you so much for the amazing review! I’m glad the weather held out because we wouldn’t have enjoyed the cows in the back like we did! Your guests brought the dance party! You’re not too bad of a rapper either! Haha. Thank you again!

    Incredible

    If you’re looking for the total package, look no further! Phil literally is the bells and whistles of the business! He was my officiant, DJ and provided our photo booth which his fiancé Sarah handled. I cannot say enough great things about them! He was basically like my wedding coordinator also haha he made sure everything went perfect! You really can’t go wrong with this duo! If you want everything perfect for your event, Phil Phest is the real deal!

    Best DJ , look no further!

    Phil is amazing! I am so glad we booked Phil Phest as our DJ and PhotoBooth. His services were very affordable and he delivered exactly what we wanted. The dance floor was full all night long and everyone had a blast! After the wedding people told me how much fun they had and how well the DJ did! Phil is so attentive and willing to help out in all matters as well! He came to our rehearsal at the venue and stepped up in helping run the show since our officiant was new. We were so grateful to have him there and make everything run smooth! (So if you wanted to hire him as an officiant too I know he would do amazing, the man know his wedding stuff)! The photo booth was awesome as well. He has many backdrops to choose from and personalizes your wedding strips to your liking! I love having the strips to look back on as memories. Phil was also so nice to send a card after the event thanking us for using his services! So look no further, Phil is your guy! You don’t just book a DJ you book a friend!

    Vicki! Thank you for the stellar review! Your wedding was so much fun! It was truly a magical and beautiful day. We can’t thank you enough for placing your trust in us.

    I’ll always recommend Phil Phest!!!

    I’m so happy that Phil was able to officiate my wedding! Since we planned our wedding in just one week, we were not able to meet with Phil beforehand. That seemed to not matter at all though because he was very professional and made my husband and I feel comfortable through the entire ceremony. He answered any questions I had in the days leading up to my wedding in a timely manner. During the ceremony, he kept it simple and sweet, exactly how we wanted it. When it was time for vows and the ending kiss, he moved out of the way so we could get the perfect picture moments.

    I’ll always recommend Phil Phest to my friends and use their other services in the future!

    PHILnominal!!

    We met Phil and Sarah at a friends wedding and instantly clicked with them.

    We basically hired them on the spot for our wedding no hesitations. Phil worked with us for about a year preparing for our special day.

    He showed up and he executed from start to finish along with his wonderful soon to be wife!!

    From selecting our playlist, setting up sound equipment, photo booths and preparing our vows he absolutely went over the top and our day wouldn’t have been as special as it was without him!

    & I’m disappointed I don’t have more photos on my phone but check out Phil sealing the deal for my husband and I and I can’t forget my beautiful best friend getting down! Such a wonderful night! 🖤🖤🖤

    Where to begin?! It was a pleasure meeting the first time at Samantha’s wedding and getting to know you throughout the planning process. Your wedding was uniquely you and we loved it! Everything turned out amazing and we are honored to have played a part. Thank you so much for always lending a kind word and being a pleasure to work with!
