About

We're Your Wedding Planner DJ! We offer the peace of mind you've been looking for!

Ideal Entertainment LLC (Formerly Memories in Motion Event Services) is a Tampa Bay based company that has provided multiple services for over 900 events since 2011. We pride ourselves on being an expert in the wedding industry, and our goal is always to provide the best possible experience for our couples.

What sets us apart is our unique experience as a DJ/Coordinator combo. We work very closely with the coordinator if you have one, but if hiring a hands-on coordinator is not in your plans, then we offer peace of mind that most DJ's either can't or won't provide. In the absence of a coordinator, the DJ is always expected to provide leadership and guidance for your vendors, family, guests, and yourselves, because someone will always need to be in charge and keep everything flowing smoothly throughout the wedding day. Unfortunately, this can lead to chaos and disarray if you hire the wrong person to be your visual and vocal representative on one of the most important days of your life.

Our DJ service offers simplified flat rate pricing for up to 6 hours of service time, which includes everything you'll need from your DJ from start to finish!

We also provide a very unique Wedding Day Management Service as an add-on to our DJ packages for DIY couples. We’ll help create and manage your event timeline, we’ll work closely with you, your vendors, bridal party, family members & your guests, and we'll manage the flow of the ceremony and reception so your special day runs smoothly! We'll even attend and manage your rehearsal if we're available. We work very closely with professional planners, but we're also the perfect DJ for anyone that either doesn't have a planner, or is working with a planner/decorator that likes to work behind the scenes.

We're currently providing the following services for weddings and corporate events in the South Carolina Lowcountry, Midlands, and beyond:
- DJ/Emcee
- DJ/Emcee With Wedding Day Management (This Service is Required for Couples That Don't Have a Hands-On Experienced Coordinator)
- Decorating and Cleanup Add-On Service
- Photo Booth
- Ceiling Draping and Fabric Backdrops
- Beautiful Wireless Room Lighting Starting at just $240
- Wedding Officiant

Please check out the Pricing Tab below or visit our website www.idealentertainmentfl.com for much more detailed info. You can also contact us directly anytime! We hope to be the Ideal professionals for your special event!

Fantastic!

Amazing DJ! We had originally decided against having a DJ, but I am so glad we changed our minds and found Chris. He was such a tremendous help with not only our music (he provides a very detailed document to fill out to make sure everything is just right) but many details of our wedding. From timeline, to ceremony scripts, to rehearsal checklists, Chris has you covered. He was always available for us to reach out to and ask questions. Day of the wedding he was absolutely amazing running around making sure more than just the music was going right (he even ran a water bottle out into the middle of a field for me while getting my photos done). If you want a DJ that is truly in your corner to make sure your wedding day is perfect, Chris is your guy!

Best DJ experience we've ever had

Dj Chris was absolutely phenomenal. We got in touch with him late in the wedding planning process and was able to step right in and also help us with so much more than just the music and entertainment. He helped with our time line and schedule and organizing the entire event. He was beyond flexible. He kept in constant contact with me and my bride to be. He always made sure that at the end of the day we were happy and asked what he could do to make sure we happy. He was also very helpful in keeping our eyes on the prize. He reminded us that no matter how our day went that at the end of the day we would be married to the love of our lives. He is not just an amazing DJ but an amazing man all around. We will definitely be working with him again. Thanks for everything Chris. We love you brother!!

A 5 star rating could never be enough to represent his above and beyond work ethic and personality!

Chris was the upmost professional and amazing DJ we could have asked for! He not only drove across the state to still provide services for us on our wedding due to a last minute cancellation of our original wedding note being able to workout due to unforeseen circumstances, he readily made himself available to us within less than a month's notice to help give us our wedding. He was more than your average DJ by providing us with day of coordinator services at a last minute notice which SAVED our wedding! He even helped decorate our wedding the day of because there were hiccups happening, this man is incredible!!! He is a genuine and kindhearted human, which we just so happened to have encountered and had the great pleasure of working with. Thank you Chris for helping us with everything and going above and beyond for my husband and I on this special day!

Devoted, supportive, enthusiastic, & unbelievably kind.

Chris is truly the best option for a DJ if you live in Greenville, SC! He was unbelievably helpful & kind throughout the whole process. He did so much more than just MC & DJ as well. He made sure my husband & I got our food, ran every song request by me (per my request), & truly so much more. I am sure that Chris did more behind the scenes to help the day run smoothly. Our wedding was perfect & a large part of that is due to Chris. I would recommend him to anyone!

The best decision we made!

We hired Chris for our wedding last weekend. He did an amazing job as DJ and completed many coordination tasks as I did not have a coordinator. Everyone at the wedding saw him go above and beyond for us and our families. He executed what we wanted with the dance floor and showed flexibility with rain schedule changes. He was by far the best vendor to work with, was the most attentive to what we needed and helped the most during our planning process. Having someone who responded in a timely manner to questions and concerns makes a world of a difference when the wedding planning stress hits!

Amazing DJ!!!

Chris did an amazing job as the DJ for our February wedding! He was incredibly detailed throughout the whole process, was easy to talk to and timely in his communication. Chris was always available for questions and worked hard to help us figure out what we wanted (and didn't want) for our reception. His experience and knowledge made him super easy to work with. Chris made a detailed timeline of all the announcements/ music and had us make a list of our favorite songs to play during cocktail hour/ at the reception. I had MANY compliments from friends and family about Chris keeping the dance floor lively the whole night! Additionally, other vendors we had positively reviewed Chris as well and said he was helpful with setting up at the reception. We found Ideal Entertainment to be reasonably priced and well worth the investment! Would give more than 5 stars if possible!!

Absolutely amazing!!!

Having Chris DJ our wedding was the best decision we made! Our guest absolutely loved him and had an amazing time on the dance floor and In the photo booth. Chris truly took the time prior to the wedding to really sit down and talk through what we were wanting and provided a lot of ideas not only with music but layout, time line and coordination aspects. We could tell he truly cared about us and cared about making our day special, which we loved about him!!! He was very professional, constantly communicated with us and was very caring!

Dj chris is the best!

Chris was nothing short of amazing! He was incredibly helpful during the preparation before the wedding and his professionalism during and after the wedding was impeccable. Super organized, very knowledgeable not just about DJing but about the wedding business in general. Truly the best night of our lives thanks in part to his amazing skills! Please book him!

Absolutely amazing! We could have never dreamed for more

This guy goes above and beyond! We had a very last minute cancellation from our dj. We were given Chris’s number and within 5 mins of a call he was running to action! He came in and saved the day. And when I say saved the day that’s an understatement! Very professional, great personality and ability to keep everything moving. He met every single want and need we had. Our reception was beautiful, fun and ran smooth as anything possibly could. No one there could believe that he had not been preparing for days nevertheless an hour or so. I highly recommend ideal entertainment and will definitely use him any time I get a chance!!

Amazing dj & great person

Having Chris as our wedding DJ gave me so much reassurance and lessened my wedding day stress. He is organized and had the whole reception schedule planned out. He already had a decent list of song for each portion of the reception. We had several zoom calls with him since we were about 10 hours away and we felt fully confident in him. The day of the wedding he arrived early and went above and beyond his duties. The music was great and our guests loved his entertainment ideas! Best wedding DJ I have ever seen and beyond that he is a pleasant and reliable person! 10 STARS!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
