DJ Ian and Eli were amazing! We would hire them over and over again, they definitely made our wedding a party and provided a perfect mix of music that suited all our guests! Everyone had such as great time and only heard positive things after our wedding!

Time of our lives
Had the absolute best time at my wedding because of Ian and the lifetime entertainment team. It was beyond fun and exceeded my high expectations. The music set the vibe for everyone to be on the dance floor having the time of their lives!

Best Entertainment/Dance Party! Best DJ + team!
Ian came highly highly recommended from friends who have had him for their weddings. He also worked with my photographer in the past (@oliviafaith) who had nothing but great things to say as well. Ian is down to earth, punctual and professional. My husband and I knew from our first phone call that Ian was our guy because it felt like we were talking to a family member from all the things we had in common. We're Filipino and when we described the vibe we were going for and the type of parties we throw, he said "say less." We put together a short playlist of some songs we loved to give him an idea, but really let him take the reigns because we trusted him as a professional. And man, did he and his team understand the assignment! Our guests were on their feet the whole night and it truly felt like we were in our own nightclub. It's been 4 months since the wedding and people are still raving about the music and dancing. We loved his whole team, including his sons who helped a great deal! They truly felt like we were a family reunited. If you're a couple looking for a good time, who loves early 2000s R&B/hiphop/dance/house music/reggaeton AND understands how Filipinos get down (line dancing tracks on deck), Ian is YOUR guy. Thanks Ian for making our wedding the best party we/our guests have ever been to! We love you!

So grateful!
We met with Ian fairly early in wedding planning and despite the time that passed, he nailed our music style PERFECTLY the day of. Our guests are still raving about him and our MC as months go by. I had very specific things I asked Ian to include such as group entrances, a tribute to my father in law, a TikTok, some songs and without much details Ian was able to include everything in our reception seamlessly. We are so grateful to Ian and the Lifetime Entertainment team for making our large wedding still detailed and intimate thanks to his music and his seamless
flow of all our reception requests. On top of that, he wasn’t there just to work - you could feel that he truly CARED for us the bride and groom. HE IS THE BEST! Thank you Ian and lifetime entertainment for everything!

Look no further than Lifetime!
Ian and his team at Lifetime Entertainment brought the party to our wedding reception. Since the beginning of our planning process, Ian was incredibly attentive to our wants, perfectly understanding not only of our vibes but that of our respective cultures (Guyanese and Filipino). He was incredibly transparent and collaborative with us, communicating with us and our venue effectively every step of the way. Ian even helped me achieved the song cuts I wanted for my dance with my father. On our wedding day, the Lifetime Team masterfully provided the audio hookup for our ceremony, then quickly flipped the ceremony space for reception—with not only a DJ booth with our engagement and wedding photos on display, but also uplighting and towers in an hour’s time. We also used Lifetime for our photo booth, which our guests loved and returned to multiple times throughout the evening.
Look no further than Ian Ali and Lifetime Entertainment for your next event!

Guaranteed to make your wedding amazing!
Stop searching for any other DJ, and PICK IAN. He is not one of those DJs that stick to one playlist, one genre, for the entire evening. He is amazingly talented at reading the room, and getting people to run to the dance floor! Whether it be slow love ballads, jersey club, or Filipino line dancing, Ian had me, my husband, and our friends and family partying all night. So many core memories occurred on the dance floor, and it was all thanks to Ian!

Best DJ ever, not only in NJ!
All of our friends recommended DJ Ian Ali, and we surely learned why from our first contact with him. He is super responsive, very welcoming, very professional, and very clearly has a love for his craft. We gave him some of our ideas and key songs for our special day, and he used that to fill in the rest, and really hit everything! He offers more than just music - check out his add-ons! We included a few of his add-ons such as the sparkulars, etc! It really added to the vibe we were going for! He also was flexible day of, when we changed things last minute, and he was able to accommodate. He made our day that much more special! All of our guests were raving afterwards as well. Thank you again DJ Ian!

Best choice ever
We went with Ian and his team at Lifetime Entertainment based off a recommendation from a friend and would make the same decision time and time again! We met with Ian briefly to discuss what we were looking for and I don't understand how he took that level of information to the perfect soundtrack for our wedding. The team was super easy to work with, guided us through anything we had questions about, his setup was gorgeous with screens and some sparklers, and my guests haven't stopped messaging me about how fun the dance floor was.
If you're looking to book at DJ for a wedding, I don't know why you'd look any further from here. 10000/10!

Best dj out there!
All I can say is - if you are thinking about booking Lifetime Entertainment for your wedding, do it! Wedding planning can be veryyy stressful and working with Ian was such a breeze, he is so professional and easy to work with. He and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day. Our guest were blown away during our first dance when we were dancing on the clouds & had the sparklers going - it just made everything even more special. My family loves to party and the dancefloor was full all night long!! Having our montage on the screens throughout the night was a special touch that our guest also enjoyed. But I think the biggest hit had to be the photo booth! The guest loved it & it's such a fun way for them to take photos that they can keep to remember our special day! I made the best choice by going with Lifetime Entertainment, they exceeded my expectations and I truly enjoyed working with Ian and his team!

Best Wedding DJ!
DJ Ian is THE BEST - highly recommend just booking with him right away! We got married in June 2022 and people are still raving about the wedding vibes and the music that was played. We specifically asked for early 90s/2000s hip hop, R&B, and also filipino line dancing and Ian did just that for us. Throughout the night everyone was on the dance floor. We even ate less just because the music choices were so good and we were constantly running to the dance floor. He's incredibly easy to work with and an overall great guy. Highly recommend!! Thank you Ian for making our wedding dreams come true!

The best team!
We couldn’t have asked for a better team for our wedding. DJ Ian and MC Eli were amazing and kept the party going all night. DJ Ian was also excellent in communicating with us from start to finish. He also coordinated with one of our other entertainers to provide a seamless entertainment experience. Aside from music, we were very impressed by the many options for add-ons that left our guests in awe. Our family and friends loved the photo booth. Our first dance was made even better by the dry ice that gave us our “dancing on a cloud” moment as well the sparklers that really added the extra wow factor. The flat screens that displayed photos of us throughout the whole night really gave it that special touch. I would highly recommend anybody to book them for your next event.

We had the pleasure of working with Ian and his MC Mike Burns for our wedding in May. Ian was easy to work with during the otherwise stressful planning process and accommodated us moving our wedding 2x during Covid without issue. Ian and his team catered the music to our crowd and had people up dancing from the minute they entered the room! Our guests we’re having so much fun we had a hard time getting them to sit for our introduction! Our guests are calling it ‘the wedding of the century!’ Thank you Ian and Mike for making our day so fun and memorable! Truly appreciated! Laurie & Isaac

Best wedding entertainment package, real DJ included ;)
My husband and I got married 12/19/2021 and couldn’t thank Ian and Mike/DJ M-POS enough for their love and support. They are very personable and professional. Extremely understanding of immediate changes, they really saved the day helping to rent flat screen tvs to help with our best man’s speech the day of the wedding. While my husband was devastated without his best man by his side, I can see how much it meant to him to hear that speech. Outside of that, they’ve played the best music I’ve heard at any wedding, and I’m happy to say it was at mine. Definitely not some standard wedding playlist, which I’m forever grateful! Nothing like a real DJ to get it done right :) I highly recommend.

Outstanding Experience for our Wedding
My wife and I got married on June 12, 2021, and we had booked Ian and his team for our DJ and MC package. Ian is such a wonderful person to work with and my wife and I agree that booking him and his team was one of the best decisions for our wedding reception. While planning all services for our wedding day, my wife and I spoke with numerous DJs. None of them could match the perfect combination of high-quality services, fair prices, and the friendly, caring, and empathetic personality that Ian brings to the table. Although we did not meet with Ian in person prior to our wedding day, we could tell that we would have a wonderful experience based on the active communication we had with Ian. Whenever we had questions, Ian was prompt in responding. If we were uncertain about anything, Ian would help us by providing suggestions that were tailored toward our preferences and our type of wedding reception. If anything needed to be addressed, Ian would walk us through the process. Ian told us he would be available pretty much whenever we needed to talk to him as we approached the wedding date, and he was readily available to speak with us on the phone. On the day of our wedding reception, everything ran smoothly. Ian understood our music selections and preferences, played everything in a timely manner, and had everyone dancing pretty much all night. Our MC, Mike, got everyone pumped up helped ensure that everyone had a blast all night long. Our package also included a monogram, sparkulars, dancing on the clouds, intelligent lighting, a photobooth, and three screens, and everything worked out perfectly. My wife and I had the opportunity to meet Ian in person on the day of our wedding and he made us feel so comfortable as soon as we met him. Although we just met him, we felt like we had been friends with him for years. If it was possible to give him more than 5 stars, we would. We have no regrets and would highly recommend Ian and his team to anyone who is looking for DJ/MC services for any type of event. Thank you, Ian, for helping us throughout this entire process and for providing us with such an amazing experience on our wedding day. We truly appreciate you and hope to see you again some day!

Absolutely amazing
Wow! Where to even begin. Ian, our DJ, and Eli, our MC, absolutely killed it at our wedding on 11/21/21! Lifetime Entertainment was recommended to us by our day-of coordinators, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Ian worked with us to put together playlists of music genres that we wanted at our wedding, had amazing special effects like dancing on the clouds and sparkulars, but most importantly, kept our family and friends dancing all night long. It was such an amazing night and a large part of it was due to Ian and his team!
Eli- you were a great MC! Thank you for being so engaging with our audience and for keeping the energy high all night long!

Wedding of the year!
I don’t know where to begin with the next level experience DJ Ali and his team will create for you - they are truly that fantastic! We were lucky to have them and they took care of so many details for our Indian fusion wedding in Austin, TX - from our uplighting to music and systems, to our wedding monogram, to our dhol player, the list goes on and on. The best part of their team is how approachable they are and that they truly want to make your day as special as possible. We needed our first dance song edited and Ian not only did that, but during our dance cued cold sparklers as a surprise for us and got real time edits to showcase on our screens in the ballroom during our reception. You want to be able to trust your entertainment team to bring to life the vision in your mind and this team will go above and beyond on doing that! Our entire party was on the dance floor for hours raving about our DJ, our MC and dhol player - saying this was the best wedding they had ever been to!

Look no further for a DJ for your event!
DJ Ian Ali is a family friend, and we've been to various parties/events that he hosted, so we already knew to expect greatness! Whenever you hire Ian, you know that you're going to get a great playlist that gets everyone on the dance floor. We have family members that don't typically dance, and even they had a great time on the dance floor for our wedding. After our event, the one comment most guests had was how great the music was. There was a mix of classics, modern hits and line dancing (per our request) that got both the young and older crowds out and about.
We can't say enough about the emcee, Benny, who knew exactly how to liven up the crowd. With the combination of Ian and Benny, our wedding night was perfect.
On a more personal note, we really got to feel like we were friends with Lifetime rather than another client. There were some emotional moments during the night, and they were both there for us. Throughout the night, we got to catch up or speak on a more personal level about life, family, etc. and those are the moments we truly cherish. We're truly grateful to Lifetime Entertainment for the perfect night, and it's an understatement when I say how personable, professional and legendary they were! We would not hesitate to recommend them for any type of event!

Beyond our expectations!
Lifetime made our ceremony and reception a dream. I had a ceremony that asked for specific music and Lifetime tailored it to what we needed and it was seamless. For our reception we never had an empty dance floor. Post wedding we still have friends and family telling us how amazing our DJ/MC was. We didn't have any engagement photos or photos to use for the display screen in front of the DJ booth so Ian & co. put a photo of our names from our ceremony program and displayed it on the screen!! We didn't ask him to but it was something that we loved and appreciated and definitely goes to show how much they pay attention to details! I wish I could have a few more weddings to use Lifetime again!!!

DJ Ian had us partying all night!!!!
If you want to party for your wedding, you have to hire DJ Ian. Ian was great from the beginning to the end. Planning our reception went so smoothly with Ian.
He was so flexible with the song we wanted and answered all the questions we had. From our bridal party entrance to the last song of the night, the reception was a non stop
party. Dancing on the clouds package is a must if you want to make your first dance extra special. Thank You Ian and MC Mike for throwing the best party at our wedding.

DJ Ian Ali killin' it againnnn!!
We highly, highly recommend you book Lifetime Entertainment for your wedding day. If we could afford it, we would book DJ Ian Ali and his team for every event possible. First of all, Ian is such a great, experienced DJ. We had been to multiple weddings that he also DJ’ed and always had the best time. Everyone was ready to dance all night. Even the music during dinner was a problem (in a good way) because we all wanted to dance instead of finish our food.
The packages are straight forward and Lifetime Ent. has everything you could want from a DJ and entertainment vendor. Ian is very open to song requests and gets to know you and your style to ensure you and your loved ones have a great event. For our wedding, Lifetime Ent. supplied multiple screens with towers, colorful light display, audio including for our videographer to connect to, photo booth, sparkulars, and the fog machine for the “dancing on clouds” effect. If you can, request Benny to be your MC! His vibes were awesome all night and until this day, we keep calling him Benny Benassi. He and Ian kept everyone dancing and it became a night we will always remember. Disclosure: He is not actually Benny Benassi, haha.
There is no question that Ian and his team have been doing this for some time and do it well. Entertainment was a priority in our wedding planning because it sets the tone for the whole night – DJ, MC – all of it. But what struck us the most from the beginning is that Ian is so down to earth and easy to work with. Very professional, he follows up and makes sure you have everything you need. Definitely the heart of the company and we can’t say enough how grateful we are for his time and service!

The best DJ & MC there is!
Ian and his team were the best! I have had the privilege of experiencing his work at a friend's wedding a few years ago and knew that I had to have him as my DJ for whenever I was going to get married. My wedding came sooner than I thought and luckily he was available for mine and my now husband's wedding day! The music was obviously fire, Michael kept the energy up and was very personable with the guests he did interact with. So many guests had a lot of fun with the photo booth as well. Highly, highly recommend Ian and his team for your wedding day and/or event - you will definitely not be disappointed!! We seriously cannot thank them enough!
