About
Thanks for visiting our page! Ideal Media is the ultimate wedding DJ and event production company servicing DC, MD, & VA. With over 15 years of experience in the wedding industry, we have the skill and professionalism to exceed all of your expectations!
As a DJ and event producer for the current companies and individuals I have the pleasure of working with, I am always ready to give my clients exactly what they want while applying my own creativity and style. I'm aware that I'm responsible for setting the mood for small and large groups of people at one period of time. With most functions being extremely critical, like weddings, I always make sure that I'm prepared when someone's most important day is in my hands. Being a DJ is not meant for everyone because it takes precise timing, multi-tasking, constant awareness, and a lot of “behind the scenes” work. I'm perfectly fine with that because I love my profession and contributing to a great experience. I work with an awesome team, and our only goal is to have successful events. When it comes to designing events, Ideal Media's aim is to create a masterpiece out of your vision.

Client review #1 - James...what can I say....THANK YOU a million times over!!!! I had many good feedback and nice compliments about you. I'm thankful I found you. Ron could not believe how I found you and he couldn't have been more impressed with you. Sometimes he gets a bit skeptical about people advertising on the internet, and also not ever having met you for any meeting about our event...he wasn't quite sure how you were going to "perform"...but he was definitely PLEASED! I wish we had more parties planned so we can have you again. I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know that will need a DJ. When my daughter gets married...guess who I'll be calling on????? Thanks again James. Sincerely appreciative! Sara and Ron
Client review #2 -Wonderful DJ, did an excellent job! I hired James to do my wedding last April, he did a wonderful job! He met with me and listened to all of my needs up front. He even created a great first dance mix for my husband and I! We hired him for his dj services and uplighting, the uplighting looked beautiful and I got tons of compliments on his work! He did the music for both my ceremony and my reception, and even had every ceremonial song right on que. I definitely would recommend him! Nicole M.
