If you want nonstop bangers all night long, go with The Specialists! I was first introduced to Phil and his team over a decade ago when he played a friends' wedding. Since that wedding, both my best friend and I have hired The Specialists for our own big days!
The Specialists provide a DJ experience that is memorable. Not only will your guests have wonderful music all night long, but there are special touches that Phil will incorporate into the night to make it unique.
Phil worked with us on pricing and had a plethora of additional services we could add. We used their uplighting (which was synced up to the music!!) and opted for Dancing on the Clouds. I had very specific requests for the pre-ceremony playlist that he was very open to. He also is not afraid to use his many years in the business to offer suggestions to widen your perspective and enhance the evening.
It has been nearly a month since we got married and guests are still talking about our DJ. We are so happy to have had this incredibly professional and unique team at our wedding. Worth every penny! -

We can't say enough good things about Phil and the incredible job he did at our wedding! From start to finish, he went above and beyond to make our special day absolutely unforgettable.
First off, Phil supplied the most amazing music that kept the party going all night long. His selection was spot-on, and he knew exactly how to read the crowd and keep the dance floor packed until the clock struck midnight. The lights changing throughout the night added such a vibrant and energetic atmosphere, making the whole experience truly magical.
Now, let's talk about the saxophonist Danny that he brought to our wedding. Wow, what a talent! Dany not only played the saxophone like a pro but also blew us away with his beautiful voice. During the cocktail hour, his jazz performances created the perfect ambiance, and our guests couldn't stop raving about him.
It's no surprise that our guests loved Phil so much that some of them were already asking for his contact information for their own events. Phil's music selection and his ability to create a fantastic party atmosphere were simply outstanding. He kept the energy high, knew just the right songs to play, and made sure everyone had a blast.
What impressed us even more was Phil's exceptional control of the party and his seamless facilitation of all the ceremonies, including speeches and the horo dance. He worked closely with our coordinator and the venue to ensure everything ran smoothly. Phil's professionalism and expertise were evident throughout the entire process.
Not only did Phil deliver on the day of the event, but he also went the extra mile leading up to it. He helped us with numerous decisions, offering professional referrals and invaluable advice. His guidance made a significant difference in making our wedding a success.
To sum it up, we wholeheartedly recommend DJ Phil to anyone looking for an exceptional DJ and entertainer. He exceeded our expectations in every way and played a significant role in making our wedding the best night of our lives. Thank you, Phil, for your incredible talent, dedication, and for making our day so memorable!

I had the most incredible experience with Phil & his team. From the music to the sax player to our photobooth everything was beyond any of our expectations. He had people on the dance floor the whole night and was incredibly helpful on my wedding day! -

My now-husband and I first reached out to The Entertainment Specialists because they are one of the DJs for the New York Red Bulls - and with both of us being season ticket holders, we were very familiar with their stadium-crowd work. We were thrilled to find out they also have a bunch of wedding experience. Phil was wonderful - he was very professional and easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and worked with us to figure out what add-ons would be best (or may not work well) for our wedding. The day-of team consisted of a DJ, Phil as the MC, a photobooth attendant, and a professional saxophone player. We were a bit hesitant about the sax at first but he was worth every penny! He handled cocktail hour and then joined in on most songs throughout the rest of reception. The Specialist Entertainment nailed our playlist and fully honored our do not play list. They perfectly read the room and we cannot recommend them enough.
(I know this is supposed to be a DJ review, but I couldn’t forget to mention how cool the photobooth was, and that our guests were able to choose the size of print they wanted to take home with them!) -

World class performance
If you want a world class performance look no further. With decades of experience and professionalism we knew we had to hire “The Specialists Entertainment” all the way from New Jersey to our wedding in Ocala, Florida. Phil Santos and his team will give you and your guests a performance to remember the rest of your lives. -

Four years ago, our friends had Phil DJ their wedding, and my husband and I had talked about him ever since. Fast forward to getting engaged and we knew we had to book him! Phil was wonderful to work with, and takes special attention to detail. We used him for our ceremony, had Danny the saxophonist play at our cocktail hour, and then had Danny and the percussionist (who’s name escapes me but we absolutely loved him!) at our reception. Danny sang and played the sax through dinner, which was amazing! Once dinner was over, the party really started! We didn’t give Phil much direction of what we wanted played through the night, but he absolutely read the crowd and the dance floor was packed all night, which was all we wanted! The most personal touch was when Phil made sure to play our second choice for our first dance song (we were indecisive) towards the end of the night, which meant so much to me.
Thank you SO much to Phil & company for making our night so amazing! Our guests (and the waitstaff!) raved about your services, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice!

Phil provided the following services: ceremony music, cocktail hour, reception music, uplighting, personalized gobo and the photo booth. Phil did a great job balancing our very different styles of music. He met with us to carefully plan out certain music for the ceremony as well as for our entrance to the reception. Phil did a great job reading the crowd and played music for all generations to enjoy dancing to. He played exactly the type of music we requested . I literally danced my ass of the entire night . We had many children as well as adults that enjoyed the photo booth. Everyone had a great time. His services exceeded our expectations! -

Phil was beyond phenomenal from our first meeting until days after our wedding. I think it’s safe to say that I had the most contact with Phil throughout the entire planning process than with any other vendor. I would highly recommend The Specialists Entertainment for any time you need a DJ, especially weddings. Phil and Frank truly made our wedding amazing. He worked with me personally, through several phone conferences, to make sure that our GoBo monogram, ceremony music, reception entrance music, first dance music, and reception music was absolutely perfect (yes, I was the bride who needed certain songs to start at exactly 26 seconds). They truly understood the importance of music choice throughout the whole reception and made sure not to play anything that we considered tacky or “typical wedding music.” We gave them some genres to work with and they nailed it. My husband and I had a personal moment when we took some staged first dance photos in the ballroom before opening it up to the guests. Out of nowhere, Frank started playing our first dance song, which I really thought was a beautiful, sentimental touch that not a lot of DJs would pick up on or do. The entire night, our dance floor was packed. Every single one of our guests, young and old, continue to comment on how great our DJ & MC were. These two work incredibly well together and really know how to keep the party going. From day one we felt like they truly cared about us, which is one of the most important aspects of running a great business. If you want the best party, high energy, and great music, you’ve come across the group that will make that happen. Thank you Phil & Frank, you guys truly made our night one we will never forget!!!
