Real nights, real rooms

What does a real night look like, hour by hour?

Your DJ reads the room from dinner to the last song. Drag through one real wedding, in the order it happened.

  1. The bride and groom laugh together at the head table over dinner

    Dinner

    Your DJ keeps it low, so the toasts land.

  2. The groom leads the bride onto the floor under black roof trusses, guests seated at tables behind them

    The floor opens

    Songs everyone knows come first, so the first dancers have company.

  3. The bride throws one arm up in the middle of a crowded dance floor

    Peak

    Your DJ reads the floor and keeps one song rolling into the next.

  4. The couple walk out hand in hand between two lines of guests holding sparklers

    Send-off

    The last song plays you out between two lines of sparklers.

One real wedding at Industrial Grove, 2022, in the order it happened.

More nights, start to finish: Erica and Alex at White Iron Ridge, Evan and Libby at Finley Farms, and every case study.

Two rooms, one standard

Is it weddings, corporate events, or both?

Both, with the same team and the same standard. At a wedding, one Elevate-Certified DJ runs the music and the microphone, and sound, lighting, musicians and the booth come on one contract. At a gala, awards night or holiday party, one host runs the room and nobody hands it off at the door. Elevate is the official DJ partner of Missouri State Bears Athletics.

Everything, one team

What do couples actually book, besides the DJ?

Most of our events add at least one more part of the night to the DJ and MC. Here is what those events actually ran.

DJ and MC

One Elevate-Certified DJ runs the music and the microphone, so your night has a rhythm and a coordinator on the mic who makes everything flow effortlessly.

“DJ Ian was our DJ, and he was absolutely incredible! He’s organized, energetic, responsive, and truly goes above and beyond. As a Type A bride who had a million notes and little details, I appreciated that he took the time to write everything down and made sure every single request was executed perfectly.”

“My husband and I hired DJ Apollo for our wedding last weekend. We were relieved when he met with us prior to our wedding and he created our timeline for the big day. We were happy with our experience- from structure to the energy he infuses into an event to make sure meaningful memories are made.”

“I would without hesitation recommend Elevate, specifically DJ Kassie, to anyone! She understood our vision perfectly and helped create the most spot-on atmosphere for the day. We ended up making some on the fly adjustments because our timeline was running a bit behind, and she made it so seamless NONE of the guests noticed.”

“We booked Kassie as our DJ/host and Alaina was the attendant for our photobooth for our wedding reception, they were both fantastic! I highly recommend using Elevate for any party, they made the process easy and Kassie even took the time to help me make a schedule for the night and checked in with me to make sure I was able to enjoy the entire night!”

“My husband and I booked Elevate Entertainment for our wedding. After discussing our options with Ian during our consultation, we decided to book with Elevate and with Ian specifically. He made us feel at ease, and we could sense that he would create a lively and enjoyable atmosphere.”

“We used Elevate Entertainment as our DJ for our wedding back in October and had the pleasure of working with Kassie. She was incredibly personable and easy to talk to, and she took our vision and truly ran with it. Throughout the night, Kassie checked in with us several times to make sure we didn’t need anything. She even got out on the dance floor to teach our guests a line dance, which everyone loved!”

“Would put 6 stars if I could. Mike AKA DJ Apollo had our dance floor going till they kicked us out of the venue, he was amazing at reading the room and giving everyone what they wanted to hear. Not only that, he went above and beyond working with every vendor on timelines, coordinating for smooth transitions for every part of the night.”

★★★★★

“I would recommend DJ Apollo without any hesitation to anyone looking for entertainment at any kind of event. He frankly handled the job of multiple vendors all at once. From creating the wedding day timeline to getting us back on schedule when, as is inevitable, schedules don’t go like we plan, to keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long, he was the best vendor choice we made for our wedding.”

“Kassie was the most amazing DJ! I knew from the moment I met her that I had my DJ soulmate. She made sure that I was the number one priority during my wedding. Just when I thought she had played every single song that I was thinking of, she would play another banger that was on the playlist in my head.”
