Jenna the dj kept the party hopping all night! She literally was so great in ensuring the guests were kept in the loop the entire night. The couple loved x files and she was made aware and went out of her way to play the x files theme song as a surprise for them. Also, there was an inside joke with a cardboard cutout of Danny Devito. When they did a couples dance she even joked about how if someone didn’t have a partner they could dance with Danny. She was very personable and even helped clear plates in her free time. In addition, there was an issue where the hired officiant didn’t show up on time. I called Live Events as a back up and the owner Dennis told me he was an hour and a half away at another wedding but would come immediately. He rushed to our aid even when I told him the other officiant finally showed up. He showed up ready to help in any way he could. This company is top notch in all they do. Professional, polite, friendly, fun and ready to exceed your expectations. The only mistake you could make on your wedding day would be not hiring them.

Guy Michel Music

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,000
  • Serves Lawrence, KS for additional fees

Hi, I’m Guy Michel – I believe music should move people—not just fill the silence. My goal is simple: create the perfect soundtrack for your celebration. With over two decades of experience, I’ve learned how to read the room and flow with the energy. Whether it’s setting a romantic tone for your walk down the aisle, adding elegance to your cocktail hour, or turning things up as the party unfolds—I adjust the vibe in real-time to match your moment. My style is anything but traditional. It’s not just about playing music. It’s about creating an experience your guests will talk about long after the last note fades. Let’s make magic

Mr. Michel is definitely a smooth operator. He knows how to work a room well. He knows how to get people to engage, and he knows when to blend into the background. He doesn’t act like a rockstar, even tho he easily could demand that type of attention based on his accomplishments. Simply a pleasure to work with.
