As surprising as it may sound, if your guests aren’t entertained they may leave a lot earlier than you’d like. You didn’t just spend months of your life agonizing over every little wedding detail for that. A skilled wedding DJ works to gain the trust of your guests and lead them to an experience that makes them want to stay and celebrate. Broc Barton of Elevate Entertainment does all that he can to help guests tune out the rest of the world and focus on having a great time. He explains, “My role is to understand the guests and draw them out into an experience. The term ‘DJ’ is fundamental. If I could choose any title, it would be experience architect.” elevate entertainment elevateentertainment.com 417.893.0435 Broc's headshot by X Brad Zweerink Photography Image above BY X adam + Dawn Photography [Our Elevate DJ] did a phenomenal job keeping our guests entertained and multiple people complimented them. Everyone had so much fun! They help run everything. From the order of the ceremony, to the games, to the caterer, to the cake... They cover it all! I didn’t have to worry about the logistics. They checked in with us multiple times to make sure we were okay and see if we needed anything from them. Let’s face it. Weddings are STRESSFUL! Our DJ was essential for maintaining my sanity. ~ Shian VonHolten
