The roster
Who are Elevate Entertainment’s DJs?
Elevate Entertainment’s DJs range from DJ Broc and DJ Apollo on the Artist tier to the Premium certified talent pool. Each one is an Elevate-Certified™ DJ who is also your MC.
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.
Artist: our headliners.
Booked for the performance itself, and trained for weddings and corporate rooms alike.
Artist
ArtistDJ Apollo
Apollo reads a room quickly and adjusts his music, energy and engagement in the moment. He builds dance floor momentum through strong musical programming and engaging MC work.
ArtistDJ Davis
Davis plays a versatile open-format style and thinks on his feet, choosing songs for the people in the room. Planning with him is easy.
ArtistDJ Brandon
Brandon asks what you want played and when, then keeps guests of all ages on the dance floor.
Exclusive: wedding and corporate specialists.
They perform only for Elevate, each with a personal brand and a review record of their own.
ExclusiveDJ Kassie
A vocalist with a strong background in performance, Kassie has a theatrical, high-energy presence and helps guests feel comfortable and fully engaged on the dance floor.
ExclusiveDJ Ian
Ian asks questions to get to know you and raises points you hadn’t thought of. On the night he is your hype man, and last-minute changes don’t rattle him.
Elite: hosts who run the event.
They earned the tier on performance and their own following, and the couples they have played for request them back.
EliteDJ Courtney
Courtney pairs a professional approach and attention to detail with a warm, friendly atmosphere, so your event feels like a night among friends.
EliteDJ Stefan
Stefan takes a refined, structured approach to every event. He moves confidently through music from the 1950s to today and connects multi-generational crowds.
EliteDJ TJ
TJ is polished, attentive and well spoken, so you feel guided, supported and at ease.
EliteDJ Ray
Ray caters to the couple and adapts in real time to keep the energy moving. He has deep song knowledge and keeps steady control of the dance floor.
Premium: our certified talent pool.
Premium
Premium DJs are Elevate-Certified™ and DJ at our standard, on their way up to Elite, Exclusive and Artist.
Tell us your crowd, your energy and your vision for the night. Our team learns which Premium DJ fits it and, once you book, assigns your DJ about four months before your event.
Premium DJs include Rasel, Tatum, Carter, Emily and Owen.
Four tiers
What do the four Elevate Entertainment DJ tiers mean?
The four Elevate Entertainment DJ tiers are Premium, Elite, Exclusive and Artist. On Premium, we match you with the right DJ from our big pool of Premium DJs. On Elite, Exclusive and Artist, you choose your DJ, and we hold your pick for your night. The tier you book shapes where your number lands; How pricing works explains how. 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.

The 12 disciplines →The standard
What does Elevate-Certified™ mean for an Elevate Entertainment DJ?
Elevate-Certified™ means an Elevate Entertainment 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. Certification is one of the ways we keep our promise, Your Event Made Perfect.

★★★★★“DJ Apollo was wonderful! He made our wedding run so smooth, and he absolutely killed it on the dance floor! I could not recommend more!”
★★★★★“Stefan was amazing! Our wedding wouldn’t have been the same if it wasn’t for him. He truly made our wedding fun!! He made sure to call us beforehand in order to get to know us better and further understand our music taste. I didn’t have to give him any recommendations, and he exceeded our exceptions! I’m so grateful for this team! Thank you for making this process so easy!”
★★★★★“We would highly recommend Elevate Entertainment for your wedding or event! They were extremely organized and very professional. We especially loved DJ Ian and our live saxophone player, Jackson. They really knew how to keep the party going and all of our guests had nothing but good things to say about the night.”
★★★★★“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 had such a seamless experience with Elevate from the booking to our wedding day. Our DJ Courtney truly brought a fantastic energy to the day, we didn’t have an empty dance floor at any point during the night, it was electric!”
★★★★★“My husband and I were so excited for Elevate to DJ our wedding. When we find out we had Kassie we were super excited to meet her and after our Zoom meeting to walk through our day, we knew we would have the most perfect and smooth day! Kassie got the crowd going by dancing with everyone, the music choices- EVERYTHING! We wish we could have a wedding every weekend to party the night away with Kassie as our DJ!”
★★★★★“After attending a friend’s wedding DJ’d by Broc with Elevate Entertainment, my now husband kept Broc’s business card in his wallet for almost 3 years until we finally got to have Broc DJ our own wedding! He met or exceeded every expectation we had and was so easy to work with.…”
★★★★★“Elevate Entertainment is a step above the rest. Broc and his team made our wedding reception a true celebration. Broc asked us how much energy we wanted at our event and he brought it. Not only does he do his job as a DJ, but he also continued to check in with us throughout the night and ensure he was doing everything he could to make sure we were having the BEST time of our lives. Cannot recommend them enough!!”
★★★★★“We had the best experience with Elevate for our wedding in September 2023! Kassie provided ceremony sound and reception music and she absolutely nailed it…”
