Meet DJ

Ian Parker

Ian Parker


Lead DJ

After playing live music, running restaurants, and dabbling in DJing ... Ian decided it was time to pursue live entertainment for a living. And what a good choice it was, as Ian is one of our most experienced Lead DJs.

Covid may have added to the decision by derailing the restaurant business for a period of time, but that turned out to be a good thing, as Ian excels as a DJ. He's a great listener and extremely prepared. He really gets to know his couples, then puts in the extra time to truly personalize their event.

As you may guess from his days running a restaurant, he's also able to think on his feet and improvise if needed also. But his attention to detail and ability to connect with couples means he has a plan. And Ian's always going to make sure the client's plan becomes a reality. We know he'll serve up the wedding or event you've always wanted and truly make things a huge success.

What people say about Ian…

  • "We are extremely happy that we booked Carolina DJ Professionals for our wedding! Our DJ Ian Parker had great communication, professionalism, and he was very helpful in the planning process.

  • "DJ Ian was absolutely fabulous to work with! He went above and beyond to make sure he could execute the party that we envisioned. We asked him to meet an additional time the week of the wedding to finalize some details and he was very happy to do so. We gave him some complicated song changes & transitions throughout the entire wedding day & he nailed it 1000%!!"

  • "We had DJ Ian and he is truly gifted in the art of DJ’ing. Not only that but he is also extremely personable & adaptive. We had a storm shift cocktail hour inside & he rapidly executed his fallback plan as if it was the original all along! Ian was able to read the room & create a dance party like we have never seen! It was a fantastic time, made possible by a phenomenal DJ."

  • "DJ Ian kept our dance floor going ALL NIGHT! He met with us three times before our wedding day to get the vibe of the type of party we were going for and he delivered. His setup – from speakers to lights – created the perfect atmosphere for the reception. Ian was also just a super nice guy and easy to get along with. We loved working with him and Carolina DJ Professionals."
