Phil and Mary made mine and my husband's wedding spectacular! It was an awesome ceremony and reception because of them and we're so grateful to God for this wonderful couple. We met with them and they were more than happy to share their story with us and were so eager to get to know us to really personalize our wedding. We saw their hearts to make our special day SO special. So kind and full of love.

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!

Our wedding DJ's were amazing! They were both so professional and extremely helpful from the planning to the celebration. Phil spent many hours with us before the big day helping us pick out the right songs and to create a timeline of events. He had great input and recommendations for songs. He did a great job of controlling the crowd and sticking to the timeline since there was so much going on and we were unable to realize what time it was.
He did an amazing job of getting the party going and encouraging people to get up and dance. All of his equipment seemed to be top notch and sound quality was great. I strongly recommend booking Phil and Mary for your next event.

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!
