"We truly enjoyed our special day and feel that your role in both our ceremony and reception made the meaningful details stand out. Thank you for going many extra miles to make sure the job was done perfectly. You never once told us something was impossible, even if never done before; instead you found a way to do it...and did it well. You were truly professional and courteous in all circumstances, yet we could still count on you to have fun. Your advice on sound for the ceremony was priceless and your presence at the reception perfectly balanced. Our guests had a great time. We'd like to thank you and Premier Sound from the bottom of our hearts for an unforgettable contribution to the happiest day of our lives. You can ask us for referrals any time!"

"Thank you so much for making our wedding day complete. There is enough to worry about on your wedding day, but you took the stress out of our reception. In fact, we didn't have to worry about a thing. Your service was surprisingly affordable, and most importantly, you kept everybody dancing and happy. I will definitely recommend you. Thanks for an amazing day!"

"We needed a last minute DJ for our wedding. Premier Sound came through. All of our guests were talking about how great the music was. And the DJs were both very professional. I can't thank you enough. We had family and guests from all over the world and you helped to get music together that everybody enjoyed. I am still getting compliments on our reception. It really means to much!"

Who are the DJs of Premier Sound & Michael Lauren Weddings?
Mike W. Age:32
Owner/DJ
Ready to break the stereotype? As a DJ in Kansas City, Mike began Premier Sound to deliver the highest level of service possible to his clients, without the baggage associated with your typical DJ experience. A truly professional service with the focus on clients needs and tastes.
Starting out working all types of events, from packed arenas to intimate weddings, Mike has since transitioned Premier Sound and its group of talented DJs to focus more on non-wedding events. Why?
Mike believes that your entertainment should be specific to his clients needs. The services needed for a corporate event are vastly different from a wedding. As such, Mike has developed a service specifically for couples on their wedding day, and put his name on it. Michael Lauren Weddings. This service is for brides who want more than just a guy in a tux showing up playing the same old music, telling tacky jokes, and treating their wedding like any other event. In fact, its far more than just a DJ service. How so? Most Wedding planners might help to plan the walk down the aisle, but stop short of the reception details. In addition, many brides have forgone the traditional coordination and planning services altogether. So he wanted to develop a service to address more than just music.
"There is just so much more to a reception than people realize." Says Mike. "Either couples are overwhelmed at where to begin in planning a great wedding reception, or nobody tells them how important it is beforehand and they find out the hard way. Either way, nobody steps up to help them, and the end result is a disorganized event that falls far short of its potential."
Mike continues, "Coordination services are included in all of my DJ services. It's far more full service than the typical DJ experience."
What makes it different? Mike explains, "So a normal DJ might show up and play what he wants for 4 hours and go home. And you might find somebody to do that for less money because they don't treat what they are doing seriously. For many DJs, it's just a hobby. But think about your typical experience at a wedding. What was your impression of the entertainment? Were the guests blown away or were they looking at the clock? Was everything organized, or did the Bride and Groom feel awkward, wondering what was supposed to happen next? Were there special moments throughout the evening, or was it boring and average? We work with couples every step of the way to make their reception unique and fun. We offer face-to-face support*, so there is no miscommunication along the way. We work on the music selection together, the order of events, and so on. We really strive to go above and beyond."
On pricing: "My services are priced competitively for both my DJs who handle event services at Premier Sound, and my personal full service wedding packages with Michael Lauren Weddings. And I think our reviews speak volumes about how happy our past clients are."
Crystal W. Age: Not telling!
DJ/Consultant
Mike's partner and bride of 11 years is his secret weapon in making all of his weddings a huge success. She has an ear for music, and can read a crowd like no other. These two things are vital to keep the dance floor full, and all of your guests happy. Add to that her expertise in lighting and sound, and she proves invaluable in helping to create a seamless and elegant event.
Asked what she likes most about being a DJ, Crystal says, "Watching the Bride and Groom. Weddings are so romantic. I love helping to create memories."
Crystal has also DJ'd other events, including fashion shows, upscale clubs, and special events.
Jeremy L. Age:34
DJ/Coordinator
Jeremy epitomizes what the Premier Sound brand is all about. Helping to create a personal experience, he can take any reception to the next level.
A longtime partner and music officianado, Jeremy is a solid DJ with great MC vocal skills. If you are looking for a professional DJ who can cater to a wide audience, this is it.
Another great trait? Jeremy remains cool under pressure; a great quality in a professional DJ. "I've never had a problem during an event that I haven't been able to handle." Says Jeremy. "The key is to stay focused and keep the flow going, even if something happens that is unexpected."
Peace of mind is a key part of the Premier Sound experience. Knowing that your DJ is up to the task of adapting to the unexpected is priceless.
Do you really even need a DJ?
Are you still up in the air as to whether or not you really even need a DJ for your Wedding? It's not uncommon to think about other alternatives.
You've probably invested considerable time and money into planning your wedding, renting your venue, buying your dress, hiring a photographer, ordering food, and other details for your Wedding day.
It might seem like just another expense that you can't afford. But before thinking about hooking your Ipod up to your stereo and hitting shuffle, think about this. A recent survey conducted asked Brides what they would have done differently if they could go back and do their Wedding day over. An overwhelming majority said that they underestimated the importance of a good DJ.
Have you thought about who will help you to plan your reception? Will you be able to find an adequate sound system? What about microphones? Do you have the right music for your grand entrance, your first dance, or even when you cut your cake? Most importantly, will your guests remember your wedding as an amazing and special day?
More than just playing music, a professional DJ helps to coordinate the entire event from start to finish. They provide MC and announcement services. They use professional sound and lighting equipment. And with years of experience, an attention to detail, and professional equipment, we can transform it from ordinary, to extraordinary.
Instead of looking at it as just another expense, consider the importance of your Wedding day. Can you afford not to put the investment into it that it deserves? We invite you to compare our services to other DJs in the Kansas City area. We are confident you'll see why so many brides have chosen Michael Lauren Weddings by Premier Sound.
