⭐️ Phil was the perfect DJ for us! He knows how to read a crowd and keep the party going. I was pretty specific on the vibe I wanted music wise and he nailed it. He made sure the music was personalized to us. I was nervous about audio for the ceremony since it was outdoors, however, he was prepared and ensured everyone could hear our officiant and vows. He is also a great MC to keep things moving! I’d absolutely recommend Phil to any Bride looking for a fun and professional DJ. ⭐️

🤩 Glowing review from the Appels 😍
What an amazing wedding with an amazing couple!

🎧🎉 It’s been a minute and we have a lot of new followers so allow me to reintroduce myself 👋🏾

I’m Phil, a wedding and event DJ with a passion for mixing fire mashups and bringing back the unforgettable vibes of 2000-2010 throwbacks. Whether it’s for a bride and groom’s big day or an epic event, I’m here to make it unforgettable!

✨ I started this journey when I was just 13, spinning beats in my friend’s backyard for middle school parties. That was the beginning. From skating rinks to college parties, and then the club scene, I kept leveling up—eventually managing and producing with artists like Dorrough Music (remember “Ice Cream Paint Job”? Yeah buddy!) and the underground Texas icons, Yung Nation.

💍 In 2014, my path took a new turn when I met my wife, Melanie, who was busy bringing glam to weddings. We dreamed up “Man and Bride,” our wedding business, blending her hair and makeup magic with my DJ skills. Now I’m honored to be spinning at 40+ weddings a year, even as a side hustle! 🤩

To all the brides and grooms out there—let’s create a soundtrack for your big day that you’ll remember forever. 🎶

💃HOW TO KEEP YOUR DANCE FLOOR PACKED! 🕺

⬇️⬇️⬇️

1️⃣ Bride + Groom and bridal party on the floor first! You start the party off and the rest of the wedding guests will follow 🙌

2️⃣ Props! People are more likely to dance when they have something in their hands or on their person. Whether it’s glow tubes, silly hats, sunglasses, or giveaways! 😎

3️⃣ Trust the DJ! Your DJ (should) know how to take the guests on a musical ride. Give the DJ time to work their magic 🪄

Year 8️⃣ anniversary dinner recap. If we could summarize what marriage has taught us so far:

1️⃣ Work hard & treat yo self 🥂

2️⃣ Vent so you don’t blow 🤯

3️⃣ Expect evolution, changes come ↪️

4️⃣ Dream together no matter how far-fetched 💭

5️⃣ Make margin for what matters ⏰

6️⃣ Body language can speak louder than words 🗣️

7️⃣ Outdo one another in acts of love 💗

8️⃣ Healthiness breeds wholeness 🤲

••
We get to see couples on the happiest day of their lives! We love it!

Do whatever you can in your marriage to continue pursuing and loving one another 😍 Always think back to that day you said ‘I do’ 🥰

Thank you all for letting us be a small part of your journey together!!!

What’s one thing marriage has taught you so far?!
