If you are planning a wedding, read this FIRST!…read more I am a high functioning OCD type of person, and when we decided to get married with only 2 and a 1/2 months notice I went into overdrive planning. We identified a location and starting tasking friends and contacting vendors within a week, but I quickly started to get overwhelmed with the amount of effort. I was trying to juggling working full time, traveling for work and planning a wedding with next to no notice when my best friend begged me to find a day-of wedding coordinator. I turned to trusty Yelp to help me out and was sad to see the lack of reviews for wedding vendors. However, I did find one review for Buffee Ann and saw I could contact her for a quote. She quickly replied and when I decided not to move forward was sweet in her response to my poor life choices. Only a few days later I changed my mind and she encouraged me to skype with her before making another bad decision. I am so glad I did! From the start Buffee was energetic and encouraging while also allowing my strong personality to dictate as much as I could of the planning process. I have to say at the end of the day, hiring Buffee to help me out was the BEST IDEA EVER! If you're planning a wedding, get help from the very start. Buffee offered suggestions for vendors after we ran into challenges with a few of ours, and we realized she would have been a savior if we had used her from day 1. She worked with our bartending service to help resolve a difficult issue and found me someone to help with my hair (which received numerous compliments). Buffee even offered to add some much needed make-up to my very ungirly self. To say she was a fairy godmother would be an understatement. If you're looking for help with planning anything, go no further. Buffee Ann will take care of you, be your cheerleader, and provide excellent suggestions for local vendors.

But finding Buffee and Magical Moments was a huge stroke of luck. She helped us figure out exactly what we want. It was the perfect mix of making sure we got the wedding that we specifically wanted but she also knew when we were unsure about something and she always pushed us in the right direction. We both really cannot say enough good things about Buffee. She made our wedding, something both of us always dreamed of but figured we could never have, the most amazing day of our lives. We're an LGBT couple and especially living in the midwest you never really know how people are going to be or if they'll even want to help you, but Buffee and Magical Moments made our wedding seem so important to them and made sure we found the vendors who would best serve our needs. If anyone ever asks me for advice on wedding planning I'm sending them to Magical Moments immediately.

The Nations best DJ has made his mark in Kansas City!!…read more Peter Merry with Merry Weddings made our reception more entertaining than we could have wished ! And your guests will thank you for it. They have raved to me still to this day how much they enjoyed the dj. Starting from the early meeting months in advance to get all of your thoughts and ideas in line. Peter offers a lot of different options and will personalize any thought that comes to your mind. He guides you through the entire process from every song for entrances, special requests and surprises in between, to the last dance. Every point has a purpose and it opens your eyes to what a good dj is and can do. Peter made this aspect of wedding planning fun and stress free. I can't stress enough how a good dj will really turn your reception into the party and atmosphere you want! Thank you Peter!

The rehearsal…read moredinner went so smooth because he knows what he is doing and was prepared when he got there. The wedding day went even better! Peter made the day go so smooth and he had people laughing out of their chairs from his wedding party introductions. He had everyone out on the dance floor afterwards too. Peter did an incredible job and made our wedding day that much more memorable. I have been to plenty of weddings where the DJ kind of just ruins the reception because he either doesn't know what to say, the music he plays sucks, or he pronounces the names wrong. Not okay. The experience you get from Peter surpasses any DJ at any wedding I have seen or been to. He is truly one of a kind. Thanks again Peter!

I can't recommend Decemeber from Soirée Event Designs high enough! We were planning our wedding…read moreceremony and events on our own up until a month and a half prior to the date. As the date became closer, we started to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the details. I received Decemeber's information from a friend, and from our first interaction, she was a true professional! Because we were less than two months from our wedding, Decemeber moved to schedule our face-to-face meeting quickly. The introduction discussion was well organized and she walked me through all of our vendor details, wedding party, must-haves, etc. My fiancé and I thought we had covered all our bases, but it was obvious after our discussion that there were many other details we needed to address. Decemeber made this feel like a breeze, and immediately helped wrap up finishing touches and assembled a "day-of" timeline. She began coordinating directly with our vendors, to eliminate the stress from the groom and me. Because of all the work Soirée did up front, the day of our wedding was well executed, relaxed and most importantly fun! As the bride, I didn't have to worry about who needed to be where and when. Decemeber had all of this outlined for us. She even found a new hairstylist two weeks before the wedding, after I decided to make a last minute change! From the first phone call with Decemeber to giving her a hug at the end of our wedding reception, she made wedding planning a stress-free process and our day was executed to perfection! (And if there was a hiccup, she handled it and we never knew) On top of her professionalism, Decemeber is a joy to work with to plan a major event.

If you're looking for a wedding or event DJ in the Kansas City area, look no further than Fernando…read moreProductions. They have the best event DJs in Kansas City. As someone who's been a bridesmaid 8 times, I know first hand entertainment can completely make or break an event. As with most things, DJs are very much a you-get-what-you-pay-for kind of thing. DJ Fernando & his staff are well worth it. They will create an unforgettable night, no matter the crowd. These are highly-trained professionals in "reading a room" and elevating a party. Additionally, they have easy-to-use software for curating your must-play, do-not-playlist and MC timeline. From the minute we met DJ Jared, we knew he was our guy. His personality is electric. He listened to & respected us. We felt heard & taken care of. We trusted him, & still do. We would hire Fernando Productions again in a heartbeat. Thank you DJ Jared for curating us a night we'll never forget.

I would discourage anyone from hiring Max Johnson with Fernando Productions and share the following…read moreopinions about them: 1. Our daughter, the bride, requested in writing several "DO Play" songs that were not played even after requested again by her verbally during the event as they had not been played. One song that was never played was noted as "my family plays this at every wedding." 2. Max thought he had played one important song we had requested and sent us a video of it but that was not the song we had requested. 3. Also, I understand Max was asked beforehand on 3 occasions to play only family friendly songs. He did not honor that request and played some songs with the F bomb, N word, and other vulgarity. Our daughter had to ask him to stop playing one song in the middle of it. 4. After myself and my wife spoke, he acknowledged me but not the Mother Of The Bride. After I contacted Fernando, he apologized and noted we did not put 3 asterisks by the bride's "DO Play" requests as his contract stated. She was not reminded beforehand that she had to do that for her requests to be honored. He also said Max forgot to write "family friendly" in his notes. However, it was readily apparent there were many young children present so it would seem he should be family friendly with his song list. Fernando initially only offered $100 refund and eventually $250 (about 9%) but $500 if agreed to not write any bad reviews. We opted for the $250 option so other brides could be told of our experience.

One of my best friends was getting married and needed a DJ for the reception held at Longview…read moreMansion in Lees Summit, MO. He had not planned well so it was something they forgot to do until a month before the wedding so we got on Google and searched for local DJ's. We called a few listed and most were somewhat rude stating they needed advance notice or wanted to charge twice as much for the wedding. We got a hold of Steve Weller at Kahuna Sound and he referred us to his partner who was extremely helpful and even helped us plan the music, lights and entire sound system with microphone for the wedding toast. At the reception they were very professional, arrived early and setup, let us provide some of our music and took requests from guest (sober and not so sober) throughout the night. The sound system was good, the lighting was perfect and the DJ helped make the evening a success. I recommend Kahuna Sound for any event, wedding or DJ need since they were professional, affordable, honest and exceeded our expectations.

He talked when he needed to and all the other times played great music. Everyone was dancing! A lot of people came up to him asking for requests or change of song and all I noticed was excellent patience. The pricing was great! Much more reasonable than other places we looked. Everyone had a wonderful time. I would recommend them and only them.
