Maryland Dc Wedding Dj Phil Petersam

I have experience with crowds that range in age from children (pre-teen) all the way to senior citizens, and can accommodate the ethnic diversity of your crowd. You are in control of the "Do's & Don'ts" in regards to music selection.  I believe that the quality of the sound, and the assembly of good selections can make any event a wonderful time for all. Thank You for taking the time to review my information, I look forward to meeting with you and assisting you with the details that will make your celebration one which you and your guests will recall with fond memories.

 

Dear Prospective Client, let me introduce myself, my name is Philip. Your event is of the utmost importance to me that I will do everything necessary in my power to make your day a day you will remember with great memories for years to come.  I have been a DJ for over 18 years, and have a wide variety of experience from birthdays, to weddings.  I have a sound system that is comprised of JBL Speakers, and a Crown Amplifier, which have been matched together for the proper sound. I have purchased these particular pieces for my sound system, based on comparisons to three major commercial sound companies. I feel that these speakers, and this amplifier, give me the best sound. I am confident that no matter how small or large your venue that my sound system can accommodate it with the perfect volume levels. I am a Digital or Computer DJ, because I can offer my clientele a much more extensive music collection, at all events. By being computerized, I can offer each and every client a very diverse, and extensive music selection. Available at many locations, I have wireless internet with the capability of accessing music by request that I might not have in my onsite database. I maintain an active collection of over 100,000 songs, and I prepare for each and every event with the utmost planning and attention to detail.

Thanks for your DJing services! Everything was awesome.

I absolutely LOVED Phil! I loved the music he played! He didn't feel like a stranger in the corner, he felt like part of the friends/family! He was very easy to talk to and very helpful with everything! He is a genuinely nice guy and a great DJ!

Phil did an awesome job with our wedding reception. He was very helpful over the phone and email in the planning phase leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, he got the party going quickly and had a lot of people on the dance floor. Guests submitted song requests prior to the wedding and made requests at the reception. Everything flowed very smoothly and we had a great experience with DZ Entertainment. It was great to know that they had the music taken care of as we were making the final wedding preparations. We will recommend DZ Entertainment to others in the future as well as use them again ourselves. By the way, there were several brides-to-be as guests at the reception. They talked to Phil about their upcoming weddings as well. I think that alone speaks volumes for this group!

We think Phil was fantastic listened to every thing that my husband, Aubrey, Marc and myself asked him to do. the music choice was fantastic. Most of our music selection was played and the music that he chose was very appropriate. Everyone said that it was great not to have to sit and wait for \"their type\" of music to be played. The dance floor was always full. Phil Did exactly what we asked him to do. Please thank him again for us.

I had some reservations about you and DZ Entertainment as Elise was doing all of the ground work and I believe, picked you out of a hat!:-). Additionally, I neglected to focus on the music until the very last week prior to her wedding. When I realized that the music was the most important element of her reception I started to move. Unfortunately for you,  I became the Micro-Managing Mother of the Bride From Hell. I really had no idea of your style, I was fearful that the music would not reflect their taste and playfulness.  
Wow!!! You provided an incredible experience for these two rather unique and special people and all of our guests.  You were classy, appropriate, humorous and the musical choices could not have been better! You managed the reception in a way that reflected someone with sensitivity to the room and a great deal of experience.  I could not have been more pleased.  Because of you the atmosphere really reflected all of the love in the room and the personalities of the bride and groom. I will go out of my way to recommend your services and will remember you for any future events that I host. I am very grateful. Thank you from the heart

Phil,
I just wanted to finally thank you for the above and beyond amazing job you did DJing for our (Don & Elise Harrington) wedding that took place September 27, 2008. In planning the wedding, my biggest concern and effort was in making the reception a truly fun celebration -- and as everyone knows, that's incredibly tough with weddings when you're planning for a crowd with a variety of tastes and of different generations. Despite my not really knowing too much what I wanted played and my mother's anxious pre-wedding nixing of your suggestions, I can say that I have never had so much fun in my life. You completely tuned into what would get everyone dancing and kept it going all night! Everyone had a blast, if that wasn't already visible :) It's been a month and friends and family are still talking about how awesome the reception was. I've had wedding attendee pros telling me it was their favorite wedding ever. I was so worried I would be too anxious as the bride to feel comfortable dancing with everyone watching, (I've been to weddings where the music wasn't too good and not too many people wanted to dance.. I was dreading something like that happening), but every time I had to stop for photos or even do the cake cutting, all I could think was 'ah man, I want to go back to dancing!'. There were even times where the literal dance floor was filled to the brim and people were dancing off to the sides. You did a noticeably professional job with MCing as well -- I loved when you had my sister announce the bride and groom; that was such a sweet idea. To summarize, the music is obviously the biggest part a wedding reception, and you delivered it better than I could have imagined! I had guests say goodbye because they had to leave only to see them still there to the very end. Our photographer said it was the best wedding she had ever been too (wow)! I was nervous I would be so anxious that I wouldn't have fun but I can honestly say whole heartedly that it really was the happiest day of my life. I can't thank you enough! I'll look to you whenever we or anybody we know needs a DJ again!
Sincerely,
Elise Harrington

Phil did a great job to help make our reception a wonderful experience. Music is very important to Carla and I  knew this part of our wedding was either going to make or break the mood. Phil did a great job with our performance requests and picked great music based on our preferences. I would recommend this service and D.J. Phil to any couple out there looking for satisfaction and piece of mind when it comes to the music for their big day. Do your selves a favor, stop worrying, stop shopping and call DZ Entertainment.

Phil was great! I got SO MANY compliments on the music and how it was one good song after another. The only complaint I got was no one wanted to get off the dance floor and rest so they were really tired by the end of the wedding. The price was right and Phil was fabulous! I would recommend DZ Entertainment and Phil to anyone. My mother-in-law already booked another DJ (Phil was booked) for an upcoming work event.

Phil really helped make the surprise work out.  He suggested that everyone get up and "hide" on the opposite side of the room.  It really worked and my Grandparents were super surprised!   Also he really helped us organize our toasts and the renewal of vows and the cake cutting.  I'm really glad he was there!!!!

I just filled out the form but wanted to add again how pleased I was with the entire process, your assistance, and Phil's.  He called me the night before the wedding to let me know there were issues with the files I sent (names wouldn't come up correctly) but we took care of it the day of and he was fantastic.  Right on time, made sure to check in with me when my cousins were making silly requests, made everyone happy & in a dancing mood, and just generally made the event.  I've gotten many, many compliments on my "awesome DJ" and have made referrals already.
THANK YOU very much!

After the Bride submitted her play list for her wedding to Phil, she completely changed her mind at the wedding and was unhappy about the music she selected.  Upon informing Phil that she wanted a totally different selection of music played, Phil wasted no time in getting the exact type of music the Bride wanted for her reception. The Bride and the whole wedding party danced the night away forgetting that they were unhappy with they're original music selections.
Phil to the rescue, thanks Phil. :-)

Just a note of appreciation for the excellent work Phil did at my daughter's wedding reception at Kurt'z Beach July 15, 2006. I enjoyed the way he made us all feel welcome, followed the script my daughter left him and played music that did not interrupt the guests. He was truly an experienced professional. I would recommend Phil and your organization to any parent seeking a quality DJ for a wedding event even though they do not personally know your firm nor could get to Pasadena Maryland to meet with you ahead of time.

Played a great, mixed selection of music that would appeal to all of the age groups and, especially, the birthday girl. I was also pleased with the willingness to accommodate the requests from the kids.

Dear Phil,
Where can we begin to express our sincere gratitude with the way you handled our Wedding Reception.  Your appearance was nice, and your presence on the microphone was excellent, introductions were handled perfectly.  I couldn’t have done it better myself, considering you did them without any specific instruction, awesome job, thanks. Your choice for making suggestions regarding music selections after meeting with us was incredible.  It was as if you knew us for a long time. After meeting us you were able to pick music that made our day perfect.  On a final note we would like to thank you for the tasteful selections you played during the cocktail/dinner hour. How incredible it was when the time came where is was time to dance it was like everyone was shocked out of their chairs and onto the dance floor, you knew the music to get all ages on the dance floor. We received so many wonderful comments, we will be recommending you to all our friends, co-workers, and our family will definitely hire your services for holiday parties and future weddings.  Thank You very much for a great job and giving us a day we will remember for many years to come.  We knew after meeting you that our reception would be handled exactly as we wanted but didn’t know where to begin.  Best Wishes in your years to come, we will be in touch.  Many Thanks
