Phillip Mills
Experience:
I’ve been in the event and hospitality industry for over ten years. During that time, I’ve officiated more than 100 weddings, DJed for over seven years, and worked thousands of events, with a focus on weddings and corporate events. I’ve also planned and hosted over 10 local concerts.
DJ STYLE:
I’m an open-format DJ with a deep passion for all styles and genres of music. I enjoy blending diverse sounds to craft the perfect vibe for every event. The artistry of DJing excites me, especially when it comes to wordplay and creative transitions. In my personal time, I'm a huge John Mayer fan. If I were to mix my own party, you'd find me spinning throwbacks and deep cuts that bring back memories.
Career Highlight:
One of the most exciting moments of my event career was serving as the official photo and 360 booth provider for the Maryland Governor's Ball, an event attended by over 10,000 guests.
GO-to hype song:
It really depends on the crowd, but "Can't Stop Me Now" by Queen and "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus are always a hit.
Guilty Pleasure music:
I created this mashup of Michelle Branch, LFO, and Vanessa Carlton that never fails to get me pumped.
Favorite Food:
I'm a huge pizza fan! My local favorites are Matthew's, Johnny Rad's, and Frank's.
Random fact:
I keep a notepad filled with all my favorite quotes. I often go back to read them to put life in perspective.
favorite movie:
Wedding Crashers & Wayne’s World.
Proudest moment:
My proudest moments include marrying my incredible wife, the birth of my son and daughter, and purchasing our Phil Phest Events office space.
what is success to you:
To me, success is finding happiness in my marriage and seeing my children thrive, growing up to be kind, good-hearted people. Everything else that comes my way is just a bonus.
