Ok, so first of all I love Phil. He is an amazing and beautiful person! I personally got to help assist him at a couple of weddings. So I have seen him in action many times. I can say without any doubt in my mind, he is the best! I have been to many weddings, some as his assistant, some as a guest where they had a different DJ, and some as a guest where Phil is the DJ. Phil will always get the crowd dancing and ensure they have fun! I have been to weddings of friends and no one dances. It is the saddest thing. I have yet to see that at one of Phil's weddings. I am so excited to say that we booked Phil & Mary for our special day! Our original day was September of 2020, but due to COVID we're pushing it back to May 2021. Phil & Mary were very flexible with our reschedule and I honestly don't know how they have any availability. With this kind of talent, they should be booked every day of the year. You will not regret booking Phil Birdsell Entertainment! read more

Very professional and entertaining. They Really helped everything go smoothly and kept our event on track

Phil and Mary are truly amazing and have so much passion for making pur wedding so much more than anticipated! The communication and planning were all so easy! They were helpful when we were stuck and so patient! Thank you both for everything!!! read more

Phil was absolutely wonderful to work with! My husband and I could not rave more about Phil as a DJ and as a person in general. Very friendly, easy to work with, has great personality, and he truly just wants to make you happy on your wedding day. Super professional and someone who has been in this business for a long time. I can't even begin to describe how many little "extras" he just throws in just because. Very thoughtful and super happy we had him as our DJ. He takes pics just as an extra and makes a photo album for you, and he also throws in a free CD of all your wedding songs. What a cool guy! He also went out and bought a matching tie just to go with my wedding's color scheme. Talk about dedication. What other DJ would do something like that? Phil was nothing short of amazing again and again. We both highly recommend Phil. He is an awesome DJ and he totally tries to understand his customer's view instead of trying to impose his own. He does offer suggestions when needed and has a whole list from all of his years of experience to help guide you in choosing all of your wedding songs. Wonderful, great DJ and a really cool guy. Thanks Phil!!! read more

Great experience working with Phil and his wife. They spend a lot of time working with you to make sure your wedding timeline and song list is exactly what you want. They both did a site visit of our wedding venue which was also really helpful. Again, thank you for helping make our Wedding a great time for everyone! read more

DJ Phil is the BEST!!! We hired Phil for our wedding and he was phenomenal! He came highly, highly recommended to us by our venue, wedding planner, and pretty much everyone else we came in contact with (our priest, included!). We were not disappointed at all! He was so easy to work with! We could email him any questions and he quickly responded; even when I requested the weirdest compilation of songs for the daddy-daughter dance, DJ Phil never judged, but was 100% on board! He even sent me a copy of the song so I could have it. He was awesome!! We're sooooo happy we hired him! Thank you, DJ PHIL!!! read more

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. read more

Phil was our wedding DJ, he worked with us many months prior to our wedding to ensure it would be a success! Our wedding turned out wonderfully. Phil even sang one of my mom's favorite songs to her and gave her a rose. Top notch DJ! He followed our weddings songs list to perfection! His dedication and hard work do not compare to any other DJ out there! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Phil. When we first started planning we weren't even going to have a DJ. I left that decision up to my fiance. He was the one who found Phil. We were having a backyard wedding and Phil sat down with us and planned everything out and picked music with us. Made me feel very comfortable with the music planning process. During the wedding he kept everything moving and on schedule. That alone is worth its weight in gold since we didn't have a wedding coordinator. During the reception he really "made" the event. From the jeopardy music when my bridesmaid got a little long with her speech to really engaging everyone to get them out on the dance floor Phil is a total professional and excellent MC. Everyone is still saying that it was one of the best weddings they have been to and we couldn't have done it without Phil! read more

The DJ for our wedding backed out at the last minute and Phil stepped in and did a superb job. He knew all the ins and outs of our multicultural wedding (Mexican and Vietnamese) and had a huge selection of music and anything we could think of, we had. Super professional, and even got out on the dance floor to get the party started! Phil really made our event magical, and we couldn't have done it without him. He even took pictures for us, and sent it to us the day after the wedding! It's great to see some pictures right after and remember our special day. read more

Phil was a great DJ. Here are some highlights: (1) We met beforehand for about 90 minutes and went over all the songs. He even had numerous sound effects for different parts of the reception which made it super fun. The way he had everything set up, we knew he would be great even before the wedding started. (2) At the reception, he talked just the right amount. This is very important! He talked enough to keep everyone engaged and to be on time with our schedule, but he didn't talk too much to steal all the focus away from the wedding party or the guests (we've seen many weddings "ruined" by an overly aggressive DJ). (3) Execution was perfect. He brought all the equipment. Songs were great. No technical issues. 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. read more

Phil was great for our wedding, he had a great list of appropriate songs for each moment in the wedding. He was also enthusiastic and set the pace and tone for the wedding. Thanks again Phil. read more

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) read more

Phil is AWESOME, SUPERB, VeRY Professional and CARING. He was the best Vendor we had for our wedding. As I look back right now, he deserved to be the highest paid vendor in our wedding but in reality he was the most affordable and he was more worth it than any other vendor. He not only served as a DJ to our wedding but he also helped us in so many other details of our wedding even if we had a wedding coordinator. You can also see in his work ethic that aside from being so professional, he is also a caring person that loves what he does and wants his customers to be 100% satisfied. Phil took some photos during our wedding and even sent us copies of it. And those pictures are priceless moments even our photographers did not capture. Thank you Phil for everything. I hope you will continue to spread the love and joy you offer to your customers through your hard work and professionalism. read more

Phil recently DJ'D my daughters "Debut" ( in the Filipino culture. ..equivalent to a Bar /Bat mitzvah ) He is very professional kind , attentive and fun...He gets involved, he gets out on the dance floor and keeps the party moving. Phil is a sincere man and his fee is unbeatable.... I will continue to use and recommend Phil to all my friends and family....We are lucky to have this man in our community... Remember Phil....We have 2 more daughters to go.... we shall see you soon... Thanks for a great time.. read more

Hire Phil for the best wedding of ANY size you could possibly imagine! We had only 43 people at our backyard beach wedding, and Phil packed the dance floor all night! Not only that, he took amazing pictures, MC'd the whole wedding, and became a family legend. Initially, he was out of our pricing budget, but based on his reviews I splurged for what I knew (as the bride) would be one of the most important parts of our day. I would do it again 100 times over!!! Phil, the Spatacco-Ryan clan are some of your biggest fans!!! read more

Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment - Phil took so many great photos of our day!!! - DJs Near Me

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! read more

We booked Phil as the entertainer and DJ for our wedding. He had been recommended to us by our venue and several others so we decided to meet with him. We liked him immediately. We knew he would be great to work with. Phil is the perfect mix of professional and friendly and had great reviews by the couples who had previous used his services. Well, we got everything we expected and so much more!!! Phil is fabulous!!! Phil kept everyone entertained and everything flowing throughout the night. Our long and detailed planning session with Phil a month before our wedding was well worth it. He knew exactly how to get one event flowing to the next. Guests knew exactly what was going on and didn't miss anything because of Phil. Phil is so fun. He even got out on the dance floor and taught a country line dance to our guests. Our guests commented that they thought that we knew him because of the ease and level of friendliness in our interactions. He even took pictures and emailed them to us the next day. That was great because we wont get any pictures from our photographer for a month or so. He even went a step further to send us a thank you card with the photos he took printed out for us. If you have an event coming up, book Phil!!!! You will get fantastic entertainment from a really awesome guy at a steal of a deal! Thank you so much for being part of our celebration and keeping us (and our guests) entertained and organized during the whole event!!! We are huge Phil fans! read more

This guy is as good as it gets! First of all, Phil is just a cool, friendly, and sincere guy. He made our wedding so much smoother and I can tell he really LOVES what he does. While shopping around for different Dj's, he was the ONLY one to take the time to set up a meeting and get to know us personally while other dj's just asked us what kind of music we wanted to have played. He's very detailed and took the time with my wife and I to figure out Exactly what songs we liked and what songs should be played at certain points of our wedding. He basically coordinated the flow of our wedding ceremony And reception. Phil made sure we had nothing to worry about and we got so many compliments from guests about him. As far as the entertainment goes, there are dj's that play music and there then there are guys like Phil who also entertain. I've been to many weddings and I was quite bored once I got to the reception. So The one thing I wanted at my wedding was for everyone to be up and on the dance floor. Phil does a great job of doing that! He keeps everyone engaged throughout the evening! I would DEFINITELY recommend Phil for anyone that needs a Dj/MC. You cant beat his prices for the amount of work this guy puts into your event. WE MISS YOU PHIL!!! -Jon & Nessa read more

I met Phil at a bridal show and I must say he is extremely professional! He was the only DJ there dressed up in a suit and tie, very articulate, and geniunely nice! He had emailed me to see if I was still interested in booking him for my wedding, in which case I was all for when I saw his amazing track record and reviews. The only thing keeping me from booking Phil was that I needed an emcee that spoke Cantonese and Mandarin as well. He lightheartedly replied "I don't think I'm going to be able to learn Cantonese and Mandarin by wedding time". =) Still, he wished me well and hopefully I will have a need for a DJ in the future, because I would book him, and I guarantee everyone who does won't regret it! read more

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. 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! read more

Phil was awesome, he worked extremely hard to get every detail of our wedding reception perfect. He made sure everything was timed perfectly and collaborated with our caterer and event coordinator very well. He is always easy to get in contact with about any details. The night transitioned smoothly and our guests truly enjoyed his entertainment. He had great ideas and did a good job intertwining two different cultural backgrounds so that everyone had a good time. read more

Phil Birdsell DJ MC Entertainment - DJ Phil Birdsell capturing our wedding dance scene on 10.10.15 - DJs Near Me

No other DJ/MC compares to Phil!!! We wanted more out of our DJ than someone who would simply play music in the background for our wedding. Fortunately we found Phil, who went above and beyond by not only doing a great job as DJ, but more importantly, managing the flow of our wedding as an MC, and providing tons of enjoyment for our guests as an entertainer. From the start, Phil spent hours helping us put together a perfect plan for the night, and was very helpful providing recommendations where we needed them. He was also very flexible and respectful of our budget, which we really appreciated. When it came to the big day, we just sat back and enjoyed as he took care of everything! Phil is a born entertainer and has such a passion for his job. Don't look anywhere else for your DJ--you won't be disappointed with Phil!! read more

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! read more

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! read more

I hired Phil to DJ my wedding and had to cancel last minute. I ended up still having a party for all my friends and family that flew in for the weekend. Everyone had a great time and loved the music. He kept us dancing all night long. Would definitely recommend if you are in the market for a DJ! read more

Phil did an excellent job DJing our wedding! He is truly a professional and is dedicated to his work. His passion for entertaining shows in all aspects, as he is an MC, a DJ, a host, and a professional. ALL of our guests danced at our wedding, and some of them NEVER dance! Phil got the crowd going and everyone had a fantastic time, including my bride and me. Thank you, Phil! read more

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! read more

Phil was truly a find. I found him on Yelp and hired him based on my initial conversation with him and his reviews. In that conversation, I noticed he was a keen listener and seemed intent on learning what we were looking for. He turned out to be FANTASTIC! He DJ'd our party in Ojai. He set the exact tone we were looking for. Our guests could not stop dancing! WE danced and sang from beginning to end. He made the party. He was able to weave in what we had requested with reading the crowd and adjusting as a pro. I got tons of compliments for him from my guests. Even the bartenders in the venue had to join in in the dancing. Thanks, Phil! I would hire you again in a flash and recommend you wholeheartedly! read more

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! read more

I used DJ Phil for my daughter's wedding and I was so pleased with his professional and awesome way he handled everything. I would highly recommend to anyone. No regrets at all. Great! read more

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! read more

The best DJ in Los Angeles by far! He hosted my wedding and helped with the timeline. Made everyone dance and laugh! The music selection was perfect! He even took great photos and sent the the day after the wedding! Thank you Phil you'er the best! read more

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. 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. read more

We definitely would recommend Phil. We planned our wedding from out of state and despite not being able to meet Phil in person until our actual wedding day, everything went smoothly. He was very access via phone and email and always responded promptly. Our guests were on the dance floor all night! We skyped with him a couple weeks prior to the wedding to go over day of schedule and details and we were very very pleased with his professionalism. When he suggested having 2 dances after our first dance we were a little on the fence about it, but went ahead with it anyway, and were so happy we did. It seemed to set the tone for the night. A great DJ is a must at a wedding, and he was at ours. read more

We hired Phil for our company party and I asked for 80's music theme with a mix of current dance songs...Phil did an amazing job. He got the crowd up, moving, and participating...he got our entire group in a conga line and even handed out maracas. He MC'd our event as well and played appropriate background music for our little "king & Queen Crowning" event. I was told by everyone that this was the "Best Party Ever!!" We couldn't have pulled it off with pout Phil!! He is the perfect mix of professional, kind and easy going we could have asked for. Will definitely use his outstanding services again. read more

Phil was the DJ at our wedding April 2014. He was amazing! He is very personal and pays a lot of attention to detail. We enjoyed coming up with our wedding day music with him. He helped us pick out all of our music. Music that touched our hearts as well as music that would work for all ages. Many of our guest approached us after the wedding a raved about him. He was outstanding!!! He helped our wedding flow with no issues. When it was time for all the events, he was the best at directing everyone. He even reminded us to eat! We will never forget Phil! He is highly recommend in our book! I want to throw another party just to use him again! read more

Highly Recommend!!! 5 stars are not enough to describe the impeccable job that Phil Birdsell did in my mother in law's Old Hollywood theme party. He impressed all us with his amazing talent, not only as a DJ but he is also a great entertainer and sang beautiful songs for her and all of our guests. He definitely make the party so great. Thank you Phil for an incredible job. read more

26 years ago Phil sang at our wedding reception, entertained and engaged the guests! It was a lovely evening!
