Sept 2022 Bride and Groom

We enjoyed working with Adrian for our September Toronto wedding! As a couple planning a Toronto wedding from out of town, he made things easy with 2 advance planning calls, and prompted us for program, sample playlists, entrance music ahead of the wedding. He’s a good communicator which was super helpful for us. He gave us good suggestions along the way, and also provided guidance on what worked well with weddings and what did not. I appreciated all his recommendations. The day of was very organized—he was on time and ready to go! His equipment looked very up-to-date as I believe he is a sound engineer for many years. He did a wonderful job with the entrances and the reception music overall. We were kinda stressed about the first dance because we are not good dancers! But he worked with our music and faded out at the right time to some faster music for others to join the dance floor. I would definitely recommend Adrian for any future event!

He made the party a party!

Adrian was fantastic! He was reliable, personable, and really read the room to keep our crowd on the dance floor all the way through to closing time! We gave him a playlist on Spotify of songs we loved and he curated a great list to play during cocktail hour and dinner. He also helped edit our processional song to cut down the instrumental part so we could time our arrival to the altar just right. I would not hesitate to recommend Adrian for your wedding.

Smith/Potts Wedding August 20 2022

Ikan Productions made our special day even more amazing with his commitment to making sure everyone was having fun on the dancefloor. Adrian played every single song on our request list and more. He has the perfect sense of what songs we wanted to hear and understood when to play them. He was playing all the classics. When we discussed what our first dance song would be with Adrian he was helpful and encouraged us to go with a song we loved. We weren't sure at first if people even knew the song (You and I by John Legend) but Adrian said "it's perfect" making us feel good about our song choice. He can really play any genre of music. My family can dance all night and Ikan Productions definitely had the party going all night!!! We had a blast!!! Adrian goes above and beyond to provide the best service. He sets up all of his own high quality equipment and is totally professional. He's the best wedding dj we could ask for on our special day! Super cool guy too!

Perfect Experience

Adrian was a professional. Despite the ongoing pandemic he was able to setup the sound for our wedding and stream it live to our friends and families who couldn't be with us in person on our special day. I heard great reviews from our streaming viewers that the audio was clear and it was not muffled and distant like a lot of other weddings. I would definitely recommend Adrian for your wedding.

Nothing short of amazing!

Working with Adrian was an absolute pleasure. He was professional, knowledgeable, and more than accommodating with our requests. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and all my guests kept remarking on how great the music was! The reception turned out to be the party we had envisioned. Thank you so much Adrian, for helping to make our day unforgettable. We will not hesitate to recommend your services!

Phenomenal DJ

Look no further, Adrian is fantastic! We could not have asked for a better DJ to play at our wedding. Adrian is flexible, responsive, organized, and has good music taste. He followed our program ad played the requested songs at the appropriate time. He knew which songs to play when to keep the guests moving. 'Twas a pleasure working with Adrian, and we hope to work with him in the future!

The Perfect DJ

We knew we were in good hands from the moment we connected with Adrian. He possesses a calm demeanor that will put all your wedding planning stress to rest. He is professional, prompt, easy to communicate with and will go the extra mile to make your wedding day special.

We wanted to incorporate some non-English music, and despite not knowing the language, Adrian was able to accommodate our requests. Like a work of art, Adrian made everything work and blend seamlessly. Everyone at our wedding loved the mix of songs and it was magical to hear our favourite songs being played throughout the night.

Adrian addressed all of our needs and was very easy to communicate with. We would recommend his services without any hesitation.

Craig and I clicked with Adrian from the moment we met him. Adrian is an easy going, laid back professional who made this portion of our wedding smooth as possible. He followed up immediately with any requests we had, provided us with a guide for song selection and was very helpful with any and all questions we had. Adrian was extremely accommodating to our constant changes and last minute requests, which we are very thankful for!

Adrian, we were thrilled to have you DJ our wedding, every song you played was on point and kept the dance floor full all night. Thank you for providing the perfect soundtrack to our wedding!

Adrian was amazing! We highly recommend him for any of your entertainment needs. His attention to detail and ability to engage a diverse crowd was a pleasant surprise. He incorporated all of the music that we requested and was able to generate a playlist that was both appropriate for the event and very much in line with our taste in music. He was an integral part of a team of vendors that made our wedding day a magical one and we cannot thank him enough.

Adrian is true professional and pays attention to detail. We really enjoyed working with him as he is a perfectionist, and someone who really plans to ensure that your wedding day is perfect. Adrian makes the effort to check out the space prior to the big day so that there are no surprises, and he is there early to set up and do sound check.

His skills are unparalleled and we received a lot of compliments. He was very attentive to the our taste in music and gave a lot of great advice when we needed help in choosing songs during the beginning of reception. Once Adrian understood our taste in music, he just ran with it and it was amazing.

Thank you so much for making our wedding day amazing!
