It was so great, better than we could've imagined. You were so organized, yet flexible. We didn't have to worry about a thing. The music you played was fantastic, and you kept people going on the dance floor. Thanks again!" Megan Kruse-Graebel Minneapolis, MN "Thank YOU for helping make our big day so amazing!! The music was phenomenal, just as expected. We're really pleased you were able to keep so many people on the dance floor ALL night and I know it was a mix of the awesome music choices. It was great working with you. I'll definitely keep you in mind when I'm planning events for clients... you never know when we'll need a great DJ or pianist :)" Amy Ogburn-Jensen Minneapolis, MN "I cannot thank you all enough for making the special trip to KC for Jared and I's special day! It honestly would not have been the same without you guys. It was everything I very dreamt of and you helped that dream come true. I honestly thought the music took the night above and beyond. At most weddings it is the same old same old and you all brought a fun new flair to our night, it was just great. I loved how you incorporated live into the ceremony/reception and then played the best "party" music to keep everyone on the dance floor throughout the night. It was awesome. Thank you again for everything Phil!! Such great memories!" Terra Sallee-Stricklin Kansas City, MO "Phil was absolutely amazing in every aspect! Entertainment is one of the key elements of a great celebration and Phil definitely delivered. From playing the piano at our ceremony and cocktail hour to being the DJ/MC for the reception, he exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have asked for anything or anyone better! On top of that Phil was extremely professional and helpful during the whole process. He made everything so easy for us and we definitely appreciate that! We would book Phil a million times over again! He helped make our day special not only with his talent but because he is a great person! Thank you Phil!! =)" Eileen Berrios-Varga San Juan Capistrano CA *Check out Phil's Official Website for Latest News & Tour Updates!
