    Ian is simply the best

    Ian was phenomenal from beginning to end. He played everything we asked him to and anticipated what the dance floor needed. Ian's song selection kept the party going all night long for the young and older people trying to dance. He played hit after hit. I would highly recommend Ian for anyone planning a wedding.

    The best wedding DJ out there

    DJ Ian is the best wedding DJ on the market. We used him for our wedding and we were left so impressed. We even had our guests say how impressed they were with him. He is very organized, works well with the other vendors, and is great. Super flexible and communicative. Gives the option to create your own playlist and then he works based on wedding vibes and atmosphere so he can add songs as the night progresses. He had our guests on the dance floor ALL Night. Prior to the wedding, he makes sure to meet with the bride and groom to go over ceremony and reception details. 10/10 experience working with him.

    Ian was an incredible DJ! From his utmost professionalism, to his song selection, to his ability to lead the reception and MC the entire evening, he had the dance floor of 300 people packed the whole night! We HIGHLY recommend DJ Ian.

    Perfect Reception with Digital Sound Services

    We had a wonderful reception and Digital Sound Services was a huge part of that! Ian was highly responsive, helpful, and professional throughout our wedding planning process. He was open to our song suggestions and took all of our preferences into account. During the wedding, our timeline went smoothly, in part due to his announcements and attention to detail. Our dance floor was so fun and always full! We couldn’t recommend Digital Sound Services highly enough and are very grateful to have chosen this vendor for our wedding day!

    Ian Lade - Exceptional DJ

    Ian Lade, could not have done a better job as our DJ. He setup calls with us several times before our wedding to ensure that there would be no surprises on the big day. On our wedding day, he made sure to meet with us in person to ensure that there were no questions/concerns.

    During the wedding ceremony, the sound was perfect. Ourselves and the officiant were able to be heard very well. During the cocktail hour/dinner, Ian had a great playlist that set the mood well. Finally, once the dance floor was opened up, Ian had a great mix that he approved with us, to ensure that the dance floor was always packed and full of fun.

    We can not recommend Ian Lade enough to any couple lookin for a DJ.

    The best DJ for DMV area!

    If you want a DJ who will bring the dance and party, thoroughly communicate and listen to you, read the vibe of the room perfectly, have flawless fading between songs, all without breaking the bank, Ian Lade is your guy! From our very first call with Ian, I knew within the first 2 mins he was going to be excellent. His skill and experience is evident, and he asks all the important, detailed questions that I hadn’t even thought about. Our guests danced all night and Ian was a huge contributor to everyone having the best time! Ian absolutely blew it out of the park at our wedding, exceeded my expectations and perfectly managed the atmosphere of the room. 10000% recommend.

    Absolutely perfect time and Ian made it easy

    Ian was incredible for our wedding! We communicated back and forth to find the right music for certain aspects, and he helped us with songs that are "normal" for certain experiences. So typical songs that are in the "dancing" time, and we got to pick specific songs that were meaningful for us. It was an incredible experience that he made smooth and simple!

    Best Wedding DJ Ever!

    We reached out to DJ Ian based on our wedding venue's recommendation, and couldn't have been happier with the result. DJ Ian was responsive and professional, his fees were reasonable, and he was attentive in noting our musical tastes and preferences. On our wedding day, numerous guests of all ages came up to us to tell us that DJ Ian was the best wedding DJ they'd ever experienced, and we couldn't agree more! We loved working with Ian and would recommend him to anyone.

    Best DJ We've Could've Asked For

    Top notch performance and experience working with Ian from start to finish. Ian is extremely personable, responsive and exceptional at what he does. Our wedding from ceremony to reception went off without hitch and that's in large part due to Ian's preparation with micing up the officiant to his defending of our "no requests" stance. All the warmth and charm you could want, Ian provides. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ for any type of event!

    Ian is the BEST

    Ian is the best person you will ever meet. He was so easy to work with and always so quick to respond. He is open to making you a playlist or using whatever playlist you may have. He played every song we asked him to and steered clear of the songs we didn't want. Hiring him for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. 10/10 would recommend!

    Great Wedding DJ!

    We highly recommend Ian Lade as a DJ for your wedding! He took the playlists of music we provided and turned it into an incredible evening of fun that all our guests were talking about for days! It was incredible seeing so many people of different generations all joined together on the dance floor having a great time! He also helped make sure the mics and speakers for our ceremony and reception speeches were set up perfectly for all our guests to be able to hear what was going on. You definitely will not be disappointed picking Ian for your event!

    So much more than a wedding DJ!

    Ian is absolutely amazing! As the MOB, I didn’t realize before what a huge impact a skilled DJ has on the flow and vibe of a wedding. Ian patiently talked through every component of the wedding before the event ensuring that he understood the exact nature and order of all of the components of the ceremony and reception. He prompted us to iron out some details that we hadn't thought of with his thoughtful questions. At the reception he made sure that everyone knew when important moments were happening. He kept the flow and the vibe of the whole day upbeat and on track! He also did a fantastic job keeping people having fun and on the dance floor. Ian is charming, professional, a lot of fun and ON IT! His adorable British accent added a nice touch to the occasion too! I can't recommend him enough. He was an integral part of making my daughter's big day everything she had hoped for!

    Impeccable service, and the dance party was hopping!!

    Ian Lade is a music mixing genius and helped us carry out the most fantastic wedding day for my son and daughter-in-law! I have been in the wedding industry myself as a wedding photographer for over 14 years, and there is no one I trust more than Ian Lade, to provide a flawless music and sound experience on a wedding day. From making sure the mics at your ceremony are working well, to making sure the dance floor doesn't miss a beat, he will make sure your day is unforgettable in the best way possible!

    He is a seasoned professional and handles everyone he encounters with a grace and class that are sometimes lacking in this category, but not with Ian. If you are considering hiring Digital Sound Services, do not hesitate. You don't want to lose this vendor to another couple! He is the best of the best!!

    Fantastic DJ!!

    Ian was amazing to work with. He is a great communicator and organized a phone call the week leading up to our wedding to make sure he understood what we wanted. He also did a good job at making song suggestions when we were lost. Ian knew how to read the crowd and played music that was perfect for the younger and older guests. He created a great atmosphere for our wedding and we are so so thankful to have hired Digital Sound Services!

    Ian helped guide us though making music choices and took the time to get to know our preferences in our meetings leading up to the wedding.

    Awesome and Friendly DJ!

    I loved working with Ian for my wedding this summer. We had a few phone calls over the past year talking about what songs my husband and I wanted, were able to submit a wedding playlist to give Ian a taste of our music, and he even helped us edit our first dance song to take out a bit we didn’t care for. He always responded quickly and was flexible with any of the changes I made. Highly recommend!
