    All Generations on the Dance Floor!

    DJ Anthony with Phil Phest was extremely invested in us having a good time. He was able to mix in almost all of the songs I had mentioned even though some were in another language and he had not worked with them before. His MC skills are on point, getting the party amped up. People were dancing till the last song. He gave great advice on timing for father-daughter/planned dances and helped make sure the tunes were cut in/out at just the right time.

    You simply cannot beat Phil and his team!

    We greatly appreciated PhilPhest Events for providing their selfie booth services at our September 2025 wedding. The setup was quick and easy, which made the whole process stress-free on our big day. We absolutely loved our custom photo frame—it was beautifully designed and matched our wedding theme perfectly. Their customer service and communication were excellent from start to finish. We highly recommend PhilPhest Events to anyone looking to add a fun, professional, and well-organized experience to their event.

    Phil is THE BEST!

    Phil & his team are absolutely the best in the business. We utilized Phil as our DJ, photo booth provider, officiant, & we also used his other company (The Crafted Cannoli) for our late night snack. Phil was so kind, attentive, and truly knocked the ball out of the park on all fronts. His communication was stellar & he created so many parts of our perfect day. Through all of the planning, day of curveballs, set up & break down, Phil truly showed up for us. His professionalism and passion for what he does shines through in every aspect of his business. Phil & his team were an immense pleasure to work with & we would choose to work with them over & over again. I couldn't recommend a better DJ, officiant, or overall lover of weddings more than Phil. We truly cannot thank him enough for everything he did for us.

    Jackpot!

    Phil Phest Events absolutely crushed it at our wedding! Phil and his team were total pros from the beginning—super communicative, organized, and genuinely invested in making sure everything went exactly how we imagined. You could really tell they cared about our vision, not just going through the motions. We had them handle the DJ and Photo Booth, and both were top-notch. The quality of service for the price? Honestly blew us away. I would’ve happily paid double for what we got. It felt like we hit the jackpot. The dance floor was LIT the entire night (and not in a cheesy way)—Phil kept the energy up and read the crowd perfectly. He was tastefully engaging, never overbearing, and kept everything flowing just right. Can’t recommend Phil Phest Events enough. If you want your guests dancing all night and your planning process stress-free, he’s your guy.

    ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!

    Phil Phest Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day! We cannot say enough amazing things about Phil! From the very first conversation (that was a chaotic mess with my children, and he didn't skip a beat!) to the last song of the night, he went above and beyond in every possible way! He wasn't just a DJ - he was our hype man, our timekeeper, and an absolute master of reading the room and filling our drinks! Our guests were talking about hosting a party just to hire him! He truly made our wedding unforgettable! If you're on the fence about booking or needing a DJ - just do it! Trust us, you won't regret it!
