"PAR Entertainment was absolutely amazing! Phil exceeded all of our expectations. He was very professional and arrived very early in order to be able to set up and be ready for all of our guests to arrive. He used the list of songs that I have requested which was very important to us. The price was also very good! I was very lucky to stumble upon his name and anyone looking to hire a very professional dj for a great price should definitely hire PAR Entertainment!! He made our daughters 1st Birthday a very memorable experience!"

"Philip was early for the event and was ready when the event started. I chose my husband's favorite songs (about 4 hours worth) making sure he would have enough time to mix em. Out of the hundreds of songs I picked he played less than 10. Most of the songs he played I do not even know nor does my husband. I got a lot of feedback saying, while the DJ's personality is awesome the music was not great. No one barely danced. The event was supposed to end at 4 but people started leaving at 2:45. His voice was barely audible and the music was subpar because it failed to fill the room that was sizable. My husband commented, "you get what you pay for", I wish I did not skimp."
