How the night ran

How did Evan and Libby’s wedding night run?

Kassie by name, and a custom monogram. The timeline got a little off. Kassie adjusted. A packed floor, still full at the end.

    What they wanted

    Evan and Libby booked Elevate on 17 July 2025, for a Saturday wedding at Finley Farms in Ozark on 25 April 2026. Their Exclusive tier named Kassie as the DJ and MC, and they added a custom monogram light and an extra speaker.

    How the night ran

    It was not Kassie’s first event at Finley Farms. Her reports and Elevate’s bookings show two private parties and a wedding there before this one. On the night, the timeline got a little off and the grand entrance song changed. Libby’s survey answer, below, tells how Kassie handled it.

    How it turned out

    In her report after the wedding, Kassie named a packed dance floor for two straight hours as the moment of the night. Libby’s survey answer says it was still packed at the end of the night. Two of the answers are below, word for word.

In their own words

What did Evan and Libby say about their night?

“Our timeline got a little off, but Kassie adjusted seamlessly and honestly created even better memories! We pivoted our grand entrance because the original song wouldn't have fit the vibe at that time, she mentioned a song my dad had been requesting which was perfect to get everyone on the dance floor. She kept the party going non-stop and even joined us to break it down. We were getting complements all night about how wonderful she was! My sister-in-law to be even commented how this was the first wedding she had been to where almost no one left early, and the dance floor was still packed at the end of the night.”

Libby · their favorite memory, in our private client survey

“Without hesitation we would recommend Kassie to anyone. She sent such a sweet text the morning of to each of us, went above and beyond to keep us informed and help things run smoothly. Even during the event if she had a song she wanted to play but wasn't sure if it would fit the vibe she'd ask us if it was ok and was spot on every time! We truly could not have asked for a better experience and feel so honored she was a part of the day.”
