Amazing DJ
Absolutely the best! You can tell he is a seasoned professional. The dance floor was constantly flooded with people of all ages. From the wedding party walking into the venue to the very end he was energetic, fun and kept the party going.

Groom of the wedding
From the moment we started planning, Lasting Memories Entertainment brought so much energy and excitement to our wedding day. The DJ kept everything running smoothly, even when we made last-minute changes to our schedule, and never missed a beat throughout the entire event. He knew exactly what to do at all times and kept the party going without any hiccups. His professionalism and charisma made him a joy to work with, and he's honestly the only DJ you need to consider in the Douglas County area. We felt confident our day was in reliable hands, and he delivered on every front. If you're getting married in Kansas City or the surrounding area, book Lasting Memories Entertainment – you won't find anyone better.

DJ Biz is THE BEST!
On behalf of all of GPACAC and MOACAC, we are so thankful to have come across Markus. He was professional, communicative, and one of the best DJs I have ever interacted with. We wanted to bring Coachella to Kansas City and boyyyyyy did he help bring that vision to life with our very own, MOchella. Thank you so much Markus for making our night amazing and for helping us create lasting memories that will go with us for a lifetime! Kudos!

Our favorite DJ
DJ biz always brings the party wherever he goes. Whether it’s an event or just a night of music at my favorite bar he’s great at reading the room and knowing what kind of musical vibe to bring. My friends and I never stay in our seats long and dance the night away!

The Heart of Our Celebration
DJ Biz was far more than just a vendor for our wedding—he was the architect of our party's unforgettable atmosphere. From our very first meeting, his focus was on understanding our story and musical taste, not just playing a standard playlist. On the day-of, his professionalism was a relief. He handled the timeline and cues for our ceremony and speeches perfectly, allowing us to be fully present. But when it was time to dance, he truly shone. DJ Biz has an incredible talent for reading the room. He masterfully blended our requested classics with current hits, kept the energy high, and knew exactly when to change the pace to keep everyone on the floor—from our grandparents to our youngest cousins. What sets him apart is his genuine, unselfish love for bringing people joy. His positive energy was contagious. We’ve lost count of how many guests have asked for his contact information, all saying it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding. If you’re looking for a DJ who will invest in your vision, execute flawlessly, and ensure your dance floor is the place to be all night long, your search ends with DJ Biz. He didn't just play music; he created the joyful, connected feeling we wanted for our day. Thank you for everything!
