Springfield Team Lead: Kassie Seyer
Kassie Seyer brings a unique combination of artistic expertise and operational excellence to her role as Springfield Team Lead. With a Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theatre and five years of event experience, Kassie has established herself as both an Elevate-Certified™ Exclusive DJ and accomplished Energy Architect.
“Kassie embodies everything we stand for at Elevate,” says Broc Barton, founder of Elevate Entertainment. “Her artistic background, combined with her genuine passion for creating extraordinary moments, makes her the perfect leader for our Springfield operations.”
As both a certified DJ and professional vocalist, Kassie offers clients hybrid entertainment experiences that seamlessly blend live performance with expertly curated playlists. Her background in theater, vocals, and dance brings an additional layer of showmanship and precision to every event she orchestrates.
Kassie’s journey with Elevate began as a bride-to-be seeking entertainment for her own wedding. After experiencing Elevate’s exceptional service firsthand, she joined the team and has since become not only a top-tier performer but also the company’s Team Lead for Springfield, overseeing all events and performances.

“Ian’s natural charisma and problem-solving abilities make him an invaluable asset to our Kansas City partners,” notes Barton. “His genuine heart for service and technical expertise create the perfect combination for building strong vendor relationships and delivering exceptional client experiences.”
