True Professionals
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ideal Media! Their services were an integral part of making our wedding day truly magical. The smoke effect for our first dance was breathtaking, creating a truly enchanting atmosphere. Our pre-wedding music video looked stunning on the 7x7 projector screen, and the personalized monogram was the perfect touch. The green uplighting added a warm and elegant ambiance to the entire reception.
But what truly sets Ideal Media apart is their incredible dedication to their clients. When it looked like our DJ might not show up, Ideal Media stepped in as our backup, ready to save the day if necessary (but luckily it wasn't) and ensuring our celebration went off without a hitch. Their professionalism, responsiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond exceeded all expectations.
I wholeheartedly recommend Ideal Media for any event. They are truly the best!I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ideal Media!

Wedding Lighting and Draping Services
Ideal Media provided three amazingly executed services during my client's wedding. From beautiful uplighting and elegant sweetheart table draping to their 360 photobooth, each aspect of our event was done so well! Guests were wowed and we look forward to working with them again in the very near future. Thank you!Ideal Media provided three amazingly executed services during my client's wedding.

Amazing, Couldn’t be better
James was amazing. He helped make our wedding perfect. There was a torrential downpour right before our outside ceremony and his outside gear got wet but he still managed to be ready on time and hit all his cues. He was polite and professional and so easy to work with. The reception was amazing even with my wife and I making a couple last minute changes James accommodated everything we needed and more. He kept the party going and had people dancing the entire event. He really made our wedding experience so much better and I would highly recommended them to any person looking for a top notch DJ who will go above and beyond.James was amazing.

It was a pleasure having James work with us during our wedding ceremony and reception. We did not meet with him in person until the day of the wedding, but just through our communications online and on the phone it felt like we knew him.
He was extremely prompt in responding to our emails and he would also arrange phone conferences so that we could discuss everything in more detail. James was also extremely organized! He provided us with a sample reception timeline, which made it easy for us to select the music that we wanted during the event.
James did an excellent job throughout the reception. He kept us on schedule, all while ensuring that we all had a great time! He did an excellent job of judging the crowd and keeping the party going. Our wedding guests are still talking about how much fun they had!
If we ever have any events in the future and are in need of a DJ, we would definitely give James a call again.

What an awesome collaboration!
I plan weddings and events and need trusted, reliable vendors to call on for specific needs. I have called on James of Ideal Media twice. In both cases James was always calm, positive, and professional and addressed my every concern, modification, adjustment, etc. He is such a joy to work with and always makes sure that I am pleased. He is now my go to for everything he supplies.I plan weddings and events and need trusted, reliable vendors to call on for specific needs. I have called on James of Ideal Media twice.

My now-wife and I were struggling to find a last minute Pipe & Drape vendor two-weeks leading up to our wedding after our initial vendor bailed on us. James (owner of IMDJLD) was extremely helpful in two ways:
He accommodated a request to move our Pipe & Drape from our ceremony room to our reception room at minimal cost. Other vendors we received quotes from tacked on exorbitant extra fees for the request but James was more than happy to work within our budget and required logistics.
While we only used their Pipe & Drape services...from receiving quotes, follow ups, to confirmation and timely setup and breakdown, we could not recommend James or Ideal Media more!My now-wife and I were struggling to find a last minute Pipe & Drape vendor two-weeks leading up to our wedding after our initial vendor bailed on us.

DJ James was very professional. We received quick responses via text and/or email. He is a very nice guy. He made time to come out before the wedding to walkthrough our venue with us and the wedding coordinator. Not to mention he is an awesome Dj! The dance floor was popping all night long. In the weeks after the wedding, a lot of our guests praised his skills. Thanks again James! We will continue to suggest your services to anyone that asks.DJ James was very professional.

James was one of our vendors who was easiest to work with. He was extremely responsive throughout the planning process, knowledgeable, and willing to go with the flow on the day of. We really appreciated that James was able to handle both lighting and music for multiple events at our wedding. He was able to keep a diverse crowd at a Catholic-Hindu wedding dancing for the whole night, respected our playlist requests, and had very helpful suggestions during the planning process. During the wedding reception itself, he was very communicative and gives you as much or as little control as you want. We would definitely recommend his services.James was one of our vendors who was easiest to work with.

We found Ideal Media online, and could not have been happier with James and his services!! Our wedding reception looked so pretty with all the uplights, and James did the set-up and breakdown with no issues. He was very responsive to all emails, and we spoke on the phone several times prior to the wedding. He worked with us each step of the way, and was very open to changes.
