I didn't even really want a DJ for my wedding- for me, I couldn't see the benefit of it and I had been to so many weddings where the DJ just made things more awkward and weird. Wow, how my opinions have changed! My first phone call with Ian, he really laid out the benefit of having a DJ and how they can really help with the vibe, the flow and the overall feel of the wedding. Obviously, it's a lot more than the music they play. It took about 10 minutes of talking to Ian before I booked him for my February 2017 wedding. Ian was incredible to work with from the get-go. He was responsiveness, helpful, and obviously offered such a long history of experience. He is the opposite of that stereotypical "cheesy" DJ. He helped me feel at ease with the wedding flow and was respectful of what my fiance and I wanted for the wedding, but also helped me see some of the best ways to keep the ceremony and reception going well. Tony actually ended up being our DJ for the day of, and he was just as excellent! We went through the planning process with Ian and then had Tony be the DJMC for the wedding. He was fantastic- many people commented after the wedding how they've never seen a DJ get so many people on the dance floor. It was a lot of fun for all my guests, especially the older generation to hear songs that they recognized. Definitely don't hesitate to book DJMC Ian for your wedding! You'll be so well taken care of. read more

This guy is a stud. I booked Ian for our wedding after talking with him for over an hour discussing what we were looking for. My wife and I had several conversations with him that all were hours long. He never made us feel rushed or anything. Extremely personable and an awesome personality. Honestly felt like the whole time I was talking with a long time friend. The day of the wedding came and he was there with plenty of time to set up and acted as our coordinator to ensure eveything stayed on time. Several times as I was setting up the venue with my groomsmen, Ian checked in and helped calm my nerves as I was freaking out a little with trying to make eveything perfect for my bride. All through the night he was a great entertainer. He kept the music pumping, and there was never a dull moment. My wife and I could not be happier. There is no doubt we made the best choice for our wedding. I will never hesitate to use him again or refer him to anyone in need of a dj. read more

If I could give him 0 stars I would, I dont know how he gets all these wonderful reviews when this man is a con artist. To make a long story short this man cancelled on my wedding 4 days before! He does not like when he isn't in charge of the reception, and he gets mad when you change your mind and want something different. He is BEYOND rude to other vendors, and has a very interesting sense of entitlement. Constantly throwing how much he is liked and how many "awards," he has. After all this he cancels on me and doesn't give me my deposit back, after he is the one who decided to terminate the contract. Stay away from this guy and find someone who has your best interests in mind, not his own. read more

Where to start?! We are so grateful we found Ian and he truly made our wedding ceremony and reception PERFECT! Ian was incredible from the initial inquiry through the planning and song selection to the day of and during the entire wedding. He answered all of our questions and took us through our wedding timeline so we knew exactly what to expect before our big day. On our wedding day he acted as coordinator and made sure the cake and catering was set up and worked so well with our officiant and photographer the entire evening. He made sure my husband and I were having fun and knew what was next and kept our guests out of their seats, dancing. We had so many compliments on what a great night it was and how much fun everyone had. We didn't want the night to end and Ian was a major part of that! Hope to work with him again soon! Thanks Ian! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! This DJ has no respect for his customers. They were reserved with deposit in hand A YEAR IN ADVANCE, and then, after cashing all payments, CANCELLED on the bride and groom 4 DAYS BEFORE THEIR WEDDING!! It is unbelievable that a DJ would do this to a couple right before their wedding day! Absolutely unacceptable! DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOU! read more

Ian did a spectacular job having Tony DJ at our wedding. He was extremely detailed and made certain we had all of the songs we wanted played at our wedding! I would highly recommend DJMC Ian B to anyone looking to get married! I recommend contacting Ian! read more

My aunt (who works in the wedding industry) suggested Ian to us after he DJ'd her nephews wedding and she said he was great. Knowing her expertise, I contacted Ian and the rest is history. He was extremely easy and helpful to work with and always replied quickly to any questions we had. Our wedding was a huge hit and I know part of that was due to Ian and the energy he brought to our special day. read more

DJ Ian B was awesome. We connected immediately. He called me and we talked several times for a few hours, not only being a DJ but coordinating the wedding and reception. Very knowledgeable about all aspects. And then the worst happened. He was injured. A DJ who worked with him was available. Tony. He picked up where Ian left off. Amazing. He put my fears to rest. Tony stepped in and took over. Coordinating like the expert that he is. My husband had said. We don't need a DJ, no one will dance, I will play my IPOD. I laughed. EVERYONE danced all night and no one left early. We are still hearing about our wedding was the best they had ever been to. Tony had everyone up and dancing. Don't hesitate to hire them. You will be the lucky one. read more

Stay far away from DJ Ian ! Unless you want to deal with a DJ who lacks professionalism.

We hired Ian to DJ my daughters wedding! He did an exceptional job, kept things in track. He spent lots of time with my daughter and son in law getting things just perfect, from picking songs to the time line, made excellent recommendations. She was very happy and so were her father and I. I went to a dear friends daughters wedding and saw Ian in action. I told my daughter about him and at first she didn't want to spend the money, but knew how important a great DJ was to the special day. Once she talked to him, it was a done deal! Thanks Ian, you helped make my daughters wedding day special. read more

We hired Ian B for my daughter's wedding and reception. He did a fantastic job! He played the right music at the right time and at the right volume. The flow of the entire evening was sooo smooth under his expert guidance and great MC voice! read more

Ian was the perfect choice for our wedding. My bride and I couldn't have picked a better DJ/MC. He made our lives easy from day one of contacting him through the wedding and after. 11/10 and would recommend him to anyone. read more

DJ Ian was amazing at my wedding!!! I'm so happy I chose him for my big day! If your looking for someone who has great energy, reliable, and takes care of his clients than I highly recommend DJ Ian! I can't wait to use his services again! read more

Ian was great at offering up suggestions for getting the crowd happy and hyped throughout the reception. We were able to fill out song requests for every important mini-event and write down titles and artists of "must-play" songs. He worked well in communicating with my day-of coordinator and wedding photographer to sync up the timelines and let me have a worry-free day to enjoy my celebration. Amazing service and kept me on budget. Thank you for the enthusiasm and memorable wedding day. read more

I don't even know where to begin, DJ Ian is the BEST DJ. He was so professional, an amazing coordinator and made sure everything was good and everyone was having a good time. I had a little melt down and he started making me laugh and I forgot about it lol I made sure he ate and he himself was having a great time, I would definitely hire him on the spot next time we have an event :) If anyone is looking for a DJ, DJ Ian is the man to hire :) :) read more

Ian was outstanding!!!!! We hired Ian as the DJ for our wedding and we have nothing but great things to say about him. From start to finish he was always on his game and was always proactive at keeping us informed on what he needed from us and on his plan for the wedding. It's obvious that Ian has a lot of experience with weddings, and helped guided us through a lot of the coordination pieces of our wedding. Our wedding ceremony went very smoothly with the music perfectly timed and transitioned. When it came time for the reception, Ian had created an excellent music selection from our music preferences we had given to him prior. When ever a song seemed to not be to the guests' liking, Ian was quick to change the song for a better response. Overall my wife and I highly recommend Ian's services, and are extremely grateful for his hard work at making our wedding day perfect. Thanks again Ian!!!! read more

This is probably my first yelp review ever...I always hesitate to write reviews but reviews were so important in my wedding planning, and Ian was so incredible I had to do it. I LOVED Ian and can't imagine a better DJ/MC for my wedding day! My wedding was on 11/12/16 and I started looking for my DJ in June. Being in SF planning for a socal wedding, I had to take a leap of faith picking my vendors and just feel so incredibly lucky to have found Ian. Ian was professional, energetic, and extremely organized. I felt like he always had my back, sent me ceremony and reception profiles early on, and even suggested fun games for my guests (which they loved!). He had been at my venue (University Hills Community Center) and made great suggestions for how to arrange our rentals at the venue. Music is NOT my forte (or my now-husband's) but Ian made me feel at ease because he was so confident and experienced. Honestly, what completely sold me was when we finally met Ian (after we already hired him) -- he went out of his way to meet with us the only weekend we were in Irvine on August. After that visit, even my husband said he felt Ian's upbeat energy and that I made a good choice (the highest praise if you know my husband!). Ian just has a contagious positive energy and good spirit, great ideas for a fun time, and awesome personality. In the month before our wedding, Ian spent HOURS talking with me, making sure all the details of our timeline was set, that I felt good, and even gave me honest advice about our key songs (I am very indecisive). He made me feel so confident about our day and how smoothly it'd go, I really didn't have to worry about a thing. We ended up having the wedding of our dreams and couldn't be happier. So, if you're reading this and trying to pick your DJ, you are lucky if Ian is free on your date and you should PICK HIM!! Ian, THANK YOU for the incredible memories and for just being you!! You're the best and I hope to get to work with you again!! read more
