“Creating and delivering excellence; from concept to execution!”

 Owner JASON D. KIPP


When you are making your decision to work with a particular professional or company, one of the first things you consider is the expertise of that individual or company. You want to know that you are working with the absolute best! At JDK Entertainment, you will work directly with the owner himself; Jason Kipp. JDK has always been, and always will be, a privately run production and management firm. The reason for this is simple; "I believe in personal interaction with every client to make sure the job is done right" - Jason Kipp. Over the last 21 years, Jason has amassed an extensive resume in the entertainment, events, and marketing industries.
