About DJ Phil Does It

DJ Phil Does It

Professional Event DJ

I'm an event DJ serving Central Texas with more than 18 years of experience rocking parties. I love taking requests and work long hours to custom tailor music selections to the mood of my clients' events. I bring all of my own gear so, if you give me a power outlet, I can start a dance party. I also MC receptions and can run sound and microphones for ceremonies and presentations.

My (1) taste, (2) mixing abilities, (3) vast vinyl record collection, and (4) experience mixing vinyl are the things that separate me from other local professionals. If you love vinyl records, ask about my "Vinyl Record Bar," a service that no other local DJ or event company provides.

We could not ask for a better DJ for our wedding day than DJ Phil Does It. Phil captured the vibe we wanted for our big day perfectly by listening to our requests, helping to organize our thoughts and bringing some flare to the event. From the beginning, Phil was so easy to work and eager to hop on a call. He worked with us to get to know us and what our expectations were to accommodate a few special requests (like mashing a couple of songs together for a special groom's performance). Overall, Phil created the type of overall ceremony/reception we wanted. We absolutely recommend hiring Phil for a wedding or any event that you’re looking to have a DJ set the mood and keep the party going.

DJ Phil Does It was HANDS DOWN the best wedding DJ we've ever had the pleasure of dancing to. From the early conversations in listening and noting the songs we wanted (and didn't want) to hear, to his professionalism throughout the event, to his uncanny ability to read the dance floor and throw songs in that we didn't even know we needed to hear, we just couldn't have been any happier with what he brought to our special day. We couldn't recommend Phil any more, and know that he will bring his magic to your event just as he did for ours.
Best DJ Ever!!!

I've known Phil for about 20 years, since he first started DJing parties in college. He's perfected his DJ skills over the years and I was stoked to have him DJ my wedding this past year. Phil completely tailors the tunes to suit your preferences. He's amazing at selecting music to get people on the dance floor, and he will surprise you with his brilliant mixes, like when he transitioned Ginuwine's "Pony" into Mary Lambert's "She Keeps Me Warm" at my gay millenial wedding. He's also got all the equipment and expertise to run sound for whatever you need, including karaoke! Plus he's just an all-around kind, generous, and fun person to work with.

I had the pleasure of hiring Phil for my Dallas wedding , since my wife is into vinyl records and he offered a vinyl bar as an add on where your guests can peruse several boxes of vinyls that You've curated for the event. Phil is incredibly well versed, with vinyls covering music from reggaeton to 60s pop. He's also very professional, giving us well designed spreadsheets asking what music we'd like for each part of the ceremony, things to play and what not to play, and other special requests. All of this was nice, but wouldn't mean anything if he couldn't actually dj. I was actually a bit worried, given how mild mannered and quiet he is. Happily, I was proven very wrong. We had nothing but great music all night, excellent transitions, everyone was dancing all the way to the end. All for a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend Phil enough for any event you are planning, this guy can read a crowd and can mix music with the best of them.

To weddings I wear a black or dark blue button-up shirt and dark slacks.

If an event is further than one hour's drive from North Austin I will ask for a $50 or $100 travel fee depending on the distance. I do not charge for set-up and break down. Clients only pay for the duration of the event from when music (or sound) first begins to the end of the event.

My clients have the opportunity to be as hands-on or hands-off with music selections at their events as they choose. I send a music request checklist to every client who books me. Clients can give me permission to accept requests from their guests (or not) and can complete a "do-not-play" list to avoid hearing songs or genres they don't like.

Yes, I can run sound and microphones for your wedding ceremony and play music for cocktail hour.

Yes, I have a $2 million general liability insurance policy.

I can always provide dance floor lighting free of charge. I provide uplighting for an additional fee. I do not provide a photo booth service.

I arrive at a venue at least two hours before I have to run any sound or play any music. So, if your guests will be arriving at 3:00pm for a wedding ceremony at 3:30pm, I will arrive at the venue by (at latest) 1:00pm to begin setting up to play pre-ceremony music when your guests arrive at 3:00pm.

For an additional fee I will bring two curated bins of vinyl records (and a case of 45's) from my private collection to your event and invite guests to dig through them, pick out records, and make requests. Depending on the styles of music you are into I can pack the bins with rock, pop, R&B, soul, funk, 80's, and more.

Yes, absolutely!

In order to book me, in addition to returning your completed and signed contract, you will have to pay a 25-30% deposit/retainer. Your remaining balance will be due the day before your event.
