Wedding Crash Kings

Great decision having DJ Philly Phil dj for our party. He showed great hospitality in his promptness, preparation, and participation with guest of all ages. He entertained guests from the ages of 4 all the way to 65 years old. Looking forward to using him and his services again in the very near future.

He did amazing job! I would highly recommend them!

DJ Philly Phil and crew did an amazing job! They definitely brought the entertainment that kept folks at the party over the party was over!!! They were extremely professional, fun and true masters of their trade! I'm already planning on next year and hope that Wedding Crashers is available!

DJ Philly Phil knocked it out of the park as our wedding DJ. Kind, respectful, punctual, and overall a great time. He answered all of our questions and then some leading up to the wedding day. Our guests couldn’t say enough positive words about his music and hospitality. Couldn’t recommended him enough!!

Pros
Very skilled DJ
Good video skills, quick turnaround time
Negatives
As everyone knows, a wedding DJ has an extremely important role of basically running the reception portion of your big day. They need to be engaging, interactive and really on top of everything. Unfortunately, this is my biggest complaint. First of all, it was so incredibly hard to hear him when he was talking in the microphone. He was putting the microphone too close to his mouth and was mumbling. After multiple people informed him of this it still continued. Second of all, he was not taking the lead on running the reception. He did not hype everyone up and provide order to the event. Next, during the reception he never once left his DJ area. When it was time to do our speeches we had to have a groomsmen go to the other side of the venue to get the microphone rather than him bringing it to us. We also had to tell him it was time for the speeches when he should have known given we emailed him a schedule of the event and printed one out for him as well. Then the BIGGEST thing was after the speeches were done he just sat there on his phone. He didn't come get the microphone, he didn't play music to break the silence, he probably didn't even know the speeches were done because he was too preoccupied with texting on his phone. So once again we had to have our groomsmen bring the microphone back to the DJ. This absolutely infuriated me as the bride and so I had to go and have a conversation with him which a bride should never have to worry about on their big day.
We provided him a must play song list which he did not play.
I thought it was common knowledge but maybe I'm wrong but typically at weddings the beginning music is the PG, kid friendly, older adult friendly music and as the wedding progresses you get into more of the rap/hiphop music. Unfortunately, he did not get the memo on that. He started playing engaging, family friendly music which soon turned to music I would not want kids listening/dancing too. We had to have the groom tell him to make it family friendly music.
We also had to ask him multiple times throughout the night to play a variety of songs (i.e. slow song, country song). He was content playing hiphop/rap the whole night. Of note: the groom and myself like hiphop and rap but for a wedding that can't be all you play.
Lastly, make sure you are very very explicitly clear about what you want and confirm multiple times that you are on the same page.
Overall, I would not recommend DJ Philly Phil for a wedding DJ. Other events I think he would do an ok job but unfortunately it may be more work/stress/hassle so use caution.
