Your Kansas City DJ

Who are the Elevate Entertainment DJs in Kansas City?

The Elevate Entertainment DJs in Kansas City are Elevate-Certified™ DJs across four tiers: Premium, Elite, Exclusive and Artist. DJ Apollo, DJ Ian, DJ Stefan, DJ TJ and DJ Ray work from Kansas City, and every tier carries the Performance & Show-Up Guarantee. We serve a 3-hour drive around each of our offices, and further by request. Elite, Exclusive and Artist DJs also travel from their home market when you want them, and any travel cost is already folded into the price you get in your Entertainment Design Session. Every tier is Elevate-Certified in the same 12 disciplines of DJing and MCing. The higher the tier, the stronger the DJ in all 12 and the more experience behind them: Premium DJs deliver a great night, and Artist DJs are the best we have in every one of the 12.

What does Elevate-Certified™ mean for my Kansas City DJ?

Elevate-Certified™ means your DJ passed Elevate’s own training. DJs train in Elevate U on the 12 core disciplines of DJing and MCing, for weddings and corporate events. The program runs four months, and experienced DJs move through it faster. Nobody skips it. Every DJ then passes evaluations and successfully DJs a first event, and then becomes Elevate-Certified™ and starts DJing for clients.

Start with what every booking already includes: the DJ and MC as one Elevate-Certified™ person, state-of-the-art, premium-grade equipment and dance floor lighting. Prices start at $1,500. Most couples spend between $2,500 and $7,500. Highly produced events can run up to $25,000. Where you land depends on the tier you pick and the add-ons you keep or leave out, and the design session builds one number that fits. Before you trim it, weigh what guests remember. In surveys from 2001 to 2003, 81% of guests said they remember the entertainment most, and 93% of brides said they wished they had put more toward it. Some of our couples say the same in our client testimonial films.

What happens if our Elevate Entertainment DJ in Kansas City cannot make it?

Every DJ booking, on every tier, carries the Performance & Show-Up Guarantee: we show up and perform, with a backup DJ, backup equipment and a 100% show-up record. On Elite, Exclusive and Artist, you choose your DJ, and we hold your pick for your night.

What if my Kansas City date is already booked with Elevate Entertainment?

One booking does not close the date. Elevate Entertainment has 20+ Elevate-Certified™ DJs across four tiers, so more than one Elevate DJ can be on a Kansas City date at once. We serve a 3-hour drive around each of our offices, and further by request. Elite, Exclusive and Artist DJs also travel from their home market when you want them, and any travel cost is already folded into the price you get in your Entertainment Design Session. The date check at the top of this page gives you a first answer.

Will Elevate Entertainment actually get back to me?

Yes. A real person will text you within the hour, and the date check at the top of this page gives you a first answer before anyone calls.
