Hello! I’m Ian Bernal, owner and bilingual Spanish-speaking DJ of I.G.B. Entertainment, specializing in unforgettable wedding celebrations and private events.
Based in Northern Virginia for over 15 years, I’ve had the honor of creating incredible music experiences that bring families and friends together.

“I.G.B. Entertainment was amazing for us! My wife and I had a fantastic experience working with Ian. From the timeline planning to his professionalism and how easy he was to work with, everything was perfect. Even when I made a mistake during the ceremony, Ian handled it seamlessly. He was incredibly reassuring in stressful moments, and everything turned out better than we ever imagined. Thank you for being part of our special day! Ian truly elevated our event as a professional MC and entertainer. The uplighting and MC services were perfect additions to our night. We can’t thank you enough for making our day more incredible than we ever dreamed!”

“Ian made sure to ask my wife and me about our ‘play’ preferences, and he wasn’t the stereotypical DJ who just sticks to heavy DJ-style sets. He was a fantastic master of ceremonies who didn’t draw too much attention to himself, yet still created an incredible atmosphere from the relatively small list of songs we provided. I’m Italian and my wife isn’t, and he seamlessly mixed Italian music throughout the night along with all the disco classics we love!”

“Ian was absolutely amazing to work with. From our initial discussions through the end of the wedding, he was professional, responsive, and patient. He went above and beyond with his setup, accommodating our unique needs by creating two separate sound zones with appropriately sized speakers in different locations. He even did us a favor and included a special dance that created an unforgettable experience. I would recommend Ian to anyone and everyone!”

“My husband and I booked I.G.B. Entertainment for our wedding this past May, and we couldn’t have been happier. Ian was incredibly attentive and accommodating to our busy, on-the-go schedule. He made everything happen seamlessly! We had several chances to talk with him before the wedding, and he even checked in afterward. He was very responsive, easy to work with, and truly made our wedding extra special. He followed our music lists, stayed true to our preferences, considered the tastes of everyone in the wedding party, and was so thoughtful throughout the entire process. He kept the energy high all night and was the perfect choice for our celebration. Definitely book him for your event — you won’t be disappointed!”

“Ian did a fantastic job DJing our wedding. Everyone was ready to dance when the time came — even after the COVID years, no one held back! He was very attentive to the different vibes we wanted to create throughout the night and perfectly matched the atmosphere for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing. The flow of the evening was smooth, he wasn’t intrusive, and he was able to engage guests of all ages. He knew exactly how to read the crowd, mix the right songs, and keep people on their feet. We would recommend Ian to anyone looking for a DJ who is easy to work with, detail-oriented, and responsive to your vision. Thanks again, Ian!”

They made our event amazing and handled our mixed-culture celebration beautifully. Highly recommendPosted on Alexandra HaleyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently worked with Rachel and Ian of IGB Entertainment at Archer Old Town Alexandria, where Ian DJed a wedding and received fantastic feedback from both the couple and guests. They are incredibly easy to work with, highly professional, and deliver truly top-tier service.Posted on Chanee WillisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian and Racheal were by far the best decision we could’ve made! They came highly recommended by our wedding venue and they provided everything we asked for! From start to finish, a most pleasant experience! If you’re in the DMV and looking for a vendor, book I.G.B Entertainment NOW!Posted on Kimberly GunzingerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DJ Ian was absolutely amazing for our wedding event! He had all the music and then some for our playlist requests and he kept the guests entertained even when the dance party was not in full swing. I had a lot of comments from guests that we had the best music playlist they have ever heard at a wedding. No joke next day I had to ice my knee all day from all the dancing that went down! Also, added bonus, my first dance song felt really long and understood my nonverbal cues to cut it short which I really appreciated! Racheal was my event coordinator and she too shined and was amazing! She took time to meet and plan with me in multiple occasions over a span of a year and everything ran smooth and was beautiful. Literally the perfect wedding only complaint is I didn’t have enough time with my guests. I highly recommended this amazing team and would have IGB Entertainment cater all my events!Posted on Kimberli Olguin-ArellanoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian was our DJ and he did Phenomenal! We specifically needed a DJ who was BILINGUAL and knew the mix of music we were putting in our playlist so he could mix it well. I also wanted to make sure that the DJ came with awesome lighting and knew how to blend the music together so it wasn’t just playing to the end every time or cutting out at the best parts. He delivered 5 stars on all fronts! Everyone at my wedding raved about how good the DJ was and how well mixed the genres were (for reference we did a lot of Latin pop, norteños, reggaeton, duranguense, and had to mix it with American pop, 80’s music, some rock, and american dance music.) IGB is a must have at your bilingual wedding.Posted on Diana GarciaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. DJ IS A LEGEND – Had Grandma Twerking (Almost)! We booked Ian for a birthday bash and WOW—he turned our party into a full-blown dance floor frenzy! From throwback jams to current hits, the playlist was so good even the neighbors wanted to crash the party (and honestly, a few did). The transitions were smoother than a fresh jar of Skippy, and the bass had our snacks vibrating off the table. He took requests like a champ and somehow made every song feel like the perfect choice. 10/10 would party again. If you're thinking about booking this DJ, DO IT. He knows what he’s doing. Your future self will thank you.Posted on Greg and JackieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ian was the DJ for our wedding in May 2025 and we could not recommend him enough! He dj'd both our ceremony and reception and things went perfectly thanks to his help. Before the wedding, he sent out a number of helpful forms to make sure we had picked songs for every part of our day. He played every song we asked for (and skipped the ones we asked not be played) and our guests had such a great time! He was professional, on time, detail oriented and so very kind (not to mention his a fun, upbeat personality). He was also such a great value. My sister recommended Ian for my wedding (he DJ'd her wedding 4 years before) and I am so glad she did! Thank you Ian for the most magical day!Posted on Bex BassetTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rachael has been the repeat DJ for our shows and delivers spectacular performances. She takes on the unique challenge of playing pre-selected music, and curating her own selection to play between recital pieces. We will definitely keep having her back.Posted on Jeff PutiyonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Rachel was a joy to work with and provided outstanding food! We had a work thanksgiving luncheon for 20 and it was amazing! The food was delicious and well presented. I will definitely be using her in the future. Kudos to you and your incredible cooking skills! Thank you so much Rachel, you're awesome!Posted on amy marieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently hosted a 40th birthday celebration in our home and truly I don’t know what I would have done without Racheal! She made everything related to planning food for 75 guests spectacular! Her excellent communication from the very start of planning, menu ideas, flexibility, and thoughtfulness turned a stressful process into one that was enjoyable. And of course, most important, the food was absolutely wonderful - we still have people 3 months later mentioning how great it was! She and her team seamlessly laid out the beautiful spread, replenished and cleaned up - a true gift to anyone who has hosted a large, home event! Thank you for all you did, Racheal!
