Andreia Sent on 05/08/2025The Best Wedding Entertainment!
We cannot say enough incredible things about DJ Phil, his team, and the entire entertainment package they provided! The amazing energy, professionalism, and sheer talent were beyond anything we could have hoped for and always knew we would have from day one. The team's attention to detail and ability to blend our musical tastes with crowd-pleasers was a hit. Everyone had a lot of fun.
But it didn’t stop there – we also used his photobooth, which was a huge hit with our guests. It was sleek, fun, and fully equipped with props and prints that people are still talking about! Everyone loved having a fun keepsake from the night, and the booth was constantly buzzing with laughter and great energy.
Adding to the magic, the live saxophonist and percussionist brought everything to the next level. The sax added this smooth, sophisticated layer to the music that gave our cocktail hour and dance sets such a unique, upscale feel. And the percussionist? Amazing choice! The live beats added so much life and rhythm to an already amazing night.
Every element was perfectly coordinated, and you could tell they were true professionals who love what they do. It felt like more than just entertainment – it was an amazing experience from the first time we met with Phil.
If you're on the fence about booking this team, let this be your sign: do it. They turned our celebration into something unforgettable, and we’ll forever be grateful for how they brought our vision to life. Thank you for making our wedding the party of a lifetime! We can't wait to have a reason to use you all again! -

If I could leave 10 stars in this review I would. Our experience with The Specialists Entertainment was absolutely incredible. DJ Phil and his crew were so professional and responsive and truly gave us a magical wedding day experience. They truly have a passion for what they do and that shines through in their work. We cannot recommend them enough for your wedding! -

Maria Sent on 08/16/2023A DJ To Remember!
If you want nonstop bangers all night long, go with The Specialists! I was first introduced to Phil and his team over a decade ago when he played a friends' wedding. Since that wedding, both my best friend and I have hired The Specialists for our own big days!
The Specialists provide a DJ experience that is memorable. Not only will your guests have wonderful music all night long, but there are special touches that Phil will incorporate into the night to make it unique.
Phil worked with us on pricing and had a plethora of additional services we could add. We used their uplighting (which was synced up to the music!!) and opted for Dancing on the Clouds. I had very specific requests for the pre-ceremony playlist that he was very open to. He also is not afraid to use his many years in the business to offer suggestions to widen your perspective and enhance the evening.
It has been nearly a month since we got married and guests are still talking about our DJ. We are so happy to have had this incredibly professional and unique team at our wedding. Worth every penny! -

Theresa Sent on 12/22/2022The Perfect DJ Experience for Our Wedding
My now-husband and I first reached out to The Entertainment Specialists because they are one of the DJs for the New York Red Bulls - and with both of us being season ticket holders, we were very familiar with their stadium-crowd work. We were thrilled to find out they also have a bunch of wedding experience. Phil was wonderful - he was very professional and easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and worked with us to figure out what add-ons would be best (or may not work well) for our wedding. The day-of team consisted of a DJ, Phil as the MC, a photobooth attendant, and a professional saxophone player. We were a bit hesitant about the sax at first but he was worth every penny! He handled cocktail hour and then joined in on most songs throughout the rest of reception. The Specialist Entertainment nailed our playlist and fully honored our do not play list. They perfectly read the room and we cannot recommend them enough.
(I know this is supposed to be a DJ review, but I couldn’t forget to mention how cool the photobooth was, and that our guests were able to choose the size of print they wanted to take home with them!) -

I had the most incredible experience with Phil & his team. From the music to the sax player to our photobooth everything was beyond any of our expectations. He had people on the dance floor the whole night and was incredibly helpful on my wedding day! -

Danielle Sent on 06/16/2022Run, don't walk to book Phil!
Four years ago, our friends had Phil DJ their wedding, and my husband and I had talked about him ever since. Fast forward to getting engaged and we knew we had to book him! Phil was wonderful to work with, and takes special attention to detail. We used him for our ceremony, had Danny the saxophonist play at our cocktail hour, and then had Danny and the percussionist (who’s name escapes me but we absolutely loved him!) at our reception. Danny sang and played the sax through dinner, which was amazing! Once dinner was over, the party really started! We didn’t give Phil much direction of what we wanted played through the night, but he absolutely read the crowd and the dance floor was packed all night, which was all we wanted! The most personal touch was when Phil made sure to play our second choice for our first dance song (we were indecisive) towards the end of the night, which meant so much to me.
Thank you SO much to Phil & company for making our night so amazing! Our guests (and the waitstaff!) raved about your services, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice!

Jennifer Sent on 04/26/2022Excellent Wedding DJ
Phil provided the following services: ceremony music, cocktail hour, reception music, uplighting, personalized gobo and the photo booth. Phil did a great job balancing our very different styles of music. He met with us to carefully plan out certain music for the ceremony as well as for our entrance to the reception. Phil did a great job reading the crowd and played music for all generations to enjoy dancing to. He played exactly the type of music we requested . I literally danced my ass of the entire night . We had many children as well as adults that enjoyed the photo booth. Everyone had a great time. His services exceeded our expectations! -

Phil was beyond phenomenal from our first meeting until days after our wedding. I think it’s safe to say that I had the most contact with Phil throughout the entire planning process than with any other vendor. I would highly recommend The Specialists Entertainment for any time you need a DJ, especially weddings. Phil and Frank truly made our wedding amazing. He worked with me personally, through several phone conferences, to make sure that our GoBo monogram, ceremony music, reception entrance music, first dance music, and reception music was absolutely perfect (yes, I was the bride who needed certain songs to start at exactly 26 seconds). They truly understood the importance of music choice throughout the whole reception and made sure not to play anything that we considered tacky or “typical wedding music.” We gave them some genres to work with and they nailed it. My husband and I had a personal moment when we took some staged first dance photos in the ballroom before opening it up to the guests. Out of nowhere, Frank started playing our first dance song, which I really thought was a beautiful, sentimental touch that not a lot of DJs would pick up on or do. The entire night, our dance floor was packed. Every single one of our guests, young and old, continue to comment on how great our DJ & MC were. These two work incredibly well together and really know how to keep the party going. From day one we felt like they truly cared about us, which is one of the most important aspects of running a great business. If you want the best party, high energy, and great music, you’ve come across the group that will make that happen. Thank you Phil & Frank, you guys truly made our night one we will never forget!!! -

What can I say about The Specialists Entertainment except for exceptional entertainment and service! Phil did my SIL's wedding and it was a no brainer for us to go with him. He treats all of his couples like family, and had us laughing and smiling through every meet. We had some special mix requests and he far exceeded our dreams (he's even re-mixing a song for us that my husband missed during the reception!!). Ahead of our big day, we met in person to go through every little detail, and from the ceremony to reception, every moment was perfect. Phil is the perfect MC and had our guests on the dance floor all night! The uplighting and gobo we had were perfect for our reception room, and our guests made use of the photobooth all night long. The Specialists Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding, and we would 1000% hire them again! -

Phil and Frank went above and beyond. They truly made our night a memorable one. From the day we booked to the night of our wedding they were accommodating and easy to work with. They played everything we had asked for and kept our guest on the dance floor the whole night even during our after party! These guys truly know the ins and outs of the business and it shows. I highly recommend them not just for weddings but for any other occasion you may have! -

Amanda Sent on 06/14/2021Overall Great Experience!
When my husband and I initially had to postpone our wedding in 2020 due to COVID, Frank and his team were extremely flexible and accommodating as we had multiple reschedules. The website provided mapped out our entire night and helped make planning our special day that much easier. We had wonderful comments from our guests on the DJ staff and our dance floor was packed the entire night! Frank and his team did a great job on making our special day, one we'll never forget. -

Philip actually did my Sweet 16 (too long ago) and my dad has used him for several functions so I already knew I was getting top notch service. If music and dancing are important to you, you can’t go wrong with The Specialists. We had percussion, saxophone and vocalist for our reception and it was such a nice touch. Philip is professional, responsive and took plenty of time with us to make sure our night went exactly the way we imagined. Even in a pandemic people were still up dancing having a great time. -

Katie Sent on 04/30/2012These guys were fantastic. Brendan was easy to get in touch with, and flexible with every idea we had - he really wanted to make sure we had exactly the party that we asked for. They kept group dances to the two we requested, and never played another one (which was something we put on our do not play list, so yay!). Phil was a fabulous Emcee, who kept everyone entertained and on the dance floor. I saw family out dancing that I never expected and that is delightful. They threw in some surprises for us as well, including a bait n switch on the Garter Toss/Bouquet Toss combo that may be one of my favorite memories of the entire night. A special nod to Dave, their candid photographer - he took shots during the ceremony that were displayed during the beginning of dinner, and then took shots that popped up on screen all night. Everyone loved seeing them, including me and my husband! In addition, we have all the originals of those pictures now, and they are a wonderful addition to our professional shots. I would definitely recommend upgrading to include this feature - it's such a nice touch, and gives you even more to remember the special day.
I cannot recommend these guys highly enough. All of our guests have said that it was one of the most fun weddings they've ever attended, and I give a lot of credit for that to these guys. Top class. -

My Big Fat Greek Portuguese Wedding
From start to finish Phil created a fantastic atmosphere. Phil’s top priority was for everyone to have fun and he definitely succeeded. We had a big wedding and a Greek band so there were a lot of moving parts. We were concerned that there would be some friction between the band and the DJ. Phil was able to work seamlessly with the Greek band and by the end of the night multiple wedding guests were inquiring about his services. -
