How the night ran
How did Jake and Reagan’s wedding night run?
A June wedding at The Oliver Building, booked in February. Five hours with Ray as DJ and MC, a light bar behind the booth. A crowded floor, and a giant pretzel for two.
What they wanted
Jake and Reagan booked Elevate in February 2026 for Saturday 6 June 2026 at The Oliver Building in Kansas City. The room they danced in has brick walls, iron columns and a plank floor under strings of bulbs.
How the night ran
Ray’s report gives a 5 pm start. He ran the night as DJ and MC from a white booth against the room’s white wall, with a column speaker on each side. The photograph at the top of this page has the two of them dancing alone while guests watch from their tables.
How it turned out
The dance floor frames put the bride in the middle of a crowd, arms up, with guests dancing around her. Later, the two of them pulled a giant soft pretzel apart at a table of pretzels and cheese cups.
