    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!


We dress professionally and appropriately for your reception. Typical wedding attire includes dress slacks, a button-down shirt, vest and/or sport coat with a tie. Our goal is to look polished and complement the atmosphere of your celebration.
Absolutely—when you want us to. During planning, you decide how guest requests should be handled: requests welcome, limited requests that fit your preferences, or no guest requests. Your musical preferences always come first, and the DJ maintains discretion to keep selections appropriate for your celebration and dance floor.
Yes. Lasting Memories Entertainment is fully insured with up to $2 million in coverage. Documentation can be provided to venues when required.
Professional setup and breakdown are included in our reception packages and do not reduce your contracted entertainment hours. Our standard pricing applies throughout our primary Lawrence, Topeka and Kansas City service areas. Events outside our standard markets may require an additional travel fee based on location and event requirements.
Yes. Dance-floor lighting is included with our reception entertainment, with additional options such as uplighting, multimedia displays, projector support and expanded sound/lighting production available depending on your event. We can scale the production to your venue, guest count and reception needs.
Versatile, polished and crowd-aware. With 15+ years of professional DJ/MC experience and 200+ weddings, we know every reception is different. We work across Top 40, R&B, hip-hop, throwbacks, country, rock, Latin, pop and more, using your musical preferences as our foundation while reading the room throughout the celebration.
We typically arrive approximately 2–2½ hours before your contracted reception start time. This allows us to unload, professionally build the DJ area, position and test the sound system, prepare dance lighting, test microphones, organize cabling and review final details before your reception begins. Setup time does not reduce your contracted entertainment hours.
Lasting Memories Entertainment specializes exclusively in wedding reception entertainment and does not provide ceremony audio or ceremony DJ services for new bookings. Cocktail-hour music can be included when it is part of your contracted reception coverage and entertainment area. By focusing our equipment, preparation and attention on the reception, we can concentrate completely on the celebration after “I do.”
As DJs, we don't “learn” songs like a live band, but we absolutely prepare requested music in advance. Couples can provide must-plays, formal-dance selections, favorites and do-not-play songs during planning. We ask that final music selections and important entertainment details be submitted at least 21 days before the reception so we can properly prepare.
