DJ

Loved his energy, his commitment to make sure everybody had a good time, he was outstanding. For every single event we have, he will be the first pick.

Truly the BEST in Kansas City. We discovered Peter Merry, owner of Merry Weddings while attending a wedding 3 years ago. The most unforgettable and unique DJ - I couldn't wait to book him for my daughter's wedding on February 27, 2021 . Peter and Audrae Heermann Mayo covered every detail and exceeded all of my expectations. They know what I needed before I even knew! Their tried and true experience helped maneuver through our wedding needs - and their creativity and ability to care about every detail was amazing. The MC/DJ is truly the most important role for a unforgettable and meaningful wedding reception - Merry Weddings in Kansas City will deliver exactly what you hope for and then SOME! In the final stretches of planning, Peter was able to live-stream the ceremony, switch from indoors to outdoors, provide service and attention to details that popped up unexpectant. Peter and Audrae come into your wedding planning as professionals but leave as family. We are so grateful for them!! More...

Truly the BEST. I could have easily written this gold star review after being just a guest at a wedding where Peter was the DJ. But, I am writing this review as the Mother of the Bride and I can truly express how integral, how important and how perfect Peter Merry and Audrea Mayo deliver. Wedding was just last week (February 27, 2021) but I couldn't wait to leave a review!
Exceeding every expectation in EVERY single detail - Peter and Audrae also become part of your family. They work in sync together and know what you need...especially in those moments when you don't even know what you need!
A last minute change (because the Missouri February weather was wonderful) we switched from an indoor wedding to an outdoor wedding. Peter and Audrae not only rolled with everything - they made most of it all possible. They live-streamed the ceremony for friends and family who could not attend. All the while making sure everyone could hear Grandpa playing the guitar for our daughter to walk down the aisle. Our family had several hurdles to overcome due to Covid - and thanks to Peter and Audrae I simply cannot say enough just how professional and how much their TRIED & TRUE experience blessed my daughter's wedding and our whole family.
Peter has amazing connections to other wedding professionals that I wouldn't have otherwise encountered. A total bonus!
I would truly love to do this all over again - just to work with Peter and Audrae again!

There are not enough words to express the level of amazing we received from Peter and Audrae!! Everyone is still talking about how much fun he was! He made our night 100%! The amount of effort and detail he put into every little thing was beyond what we could have asked for! Audrae’s attention to detail behind the scenes blew us away as well! She took care of things we never even thought of! They are nothing short of incredible! More...

Eric is simply phenomenal, he's very personable & does a great job of building rapport & getting to know his clients. He provides planning tools & software to help keep you organized & plan your day from ceremony to reception. My husband and I enjoyed all of our video chats with Eric, he is funny & knowledgeable of the wedding industry & seriously entertaining! Everyone at our wedding couldn't get enough of him, he kept us dancing & made sure to play my favorite songs as planned. The introductions and our Love Story were such funny & special moments I will never forget. There is simply no other DJ & Master of Ceremonies like Eric! More...

Eric seriously knows how to make your wedding day special. He exceeded our expectations by adding so many personal touches of love and laughter. We had an awesome time talking to him during every planning session and could tell he cared about helping to make our wedding amazing. He went above and beyond to layout our timeline; provide resources for music selection and speeches, etc.; learn about our family, wedding party, and guests; and learn about what makes us the couple we are. His music selection kept the guests entertained and dancing and we all had a great time. We never imagined our DJ putting in so much effort before the wedding and can't imagine there is anyone else in the business that does all that he does. We would definitely recommend Eric to any and all of our friends! More...

Booking Peter with Merry Weddings was the absolute best decision we made with our wedding planning. He went above and beyond to make our wedding a celebration to remember. He helped us plan the whole schedule and took extra care to get to know our families and wedding party. On top of being an amazing DJ he also filmed our wedding for us and captured all the amazing moments of our special day. We got married two years ago this month and as I went through my computer to rewatch our wedding videos I was horrified to find I had lost all the files and I was so heartbroken that our wedding videos were gone forever. I reached out to Peter to see if he still had the videos, and to my shock he said he still had EVERYTHING on a flash drive and he mailed it to me the very next day!! Words cannot describe how grateful we are for the excellence Peter puts into in profession and we are thankful for him! And his lovely fiancé Audrae who was there helping at our wedding as well ❤️ More...

Eric literally took a rude silly joke I made - that had no place at a wedding - and made it work for me. I can't even explain the level of professionalism it takes to pull off what he did to inject my sense of humor into a formal event like a wedding . If he can do that for me, he can literally do anything you want for you to make the experience exactly what you're looking for. 10/10 Don't even think about using anyone else. More...

Peter Merry is a true Master of Ceremonies. I've hired him for my Brother's wedding and just recently for my little Sister's wedding. His creativity and dedication to perfection is unmatched, and it shows in the experiences and memories. Peter made each of the wedding truly unique and most importantly unforgettable! By the time you get to the wedding day Peter is like family. You can't help but love how much he loves to serve you, how much he is invested in you and how he will let nothing get in the way of creating a truly magical experience. More...

This is an incredible company. Eric planned our entire event in the meetings we had prior to the day, including a meeting with the vendor. I was able to easily add the songs I wanted through their website. Eric was also very responsive to our questions, even prior to being hired.

Eric and Sergio were on top of the music during the ceremony, and added a sophisticated touch throughout the entire event, including the toasts when they announced the speakers. They juggled the music very well as we had a combination on Indian, American, and Jewish music. They also handled the transitions between events well (for example, from the toasts to the performance, and so on). They were very professional and friendly, and worked with guests and other vendors. I can't recommend them enough!

Q&As

Give your Wedding Party the most personalized introductions your guests have ever seen. After they have been cheering and laughing the whole time, they will be in the right frame of mind to want to dance and celebrate with you for the rest of the night.

As uniquely personalized to each couple and event as possible. This allows me to help my couples/clients create amazingly fun and memorable celebrations that truly match who they are and the love they share.

Those unexpected moments that turn into stories your guests will talk about for years to come. Don't get me wrong, I love the pre-planning where I get to put together a solid timeline of events that will be uniquely entertaining. But being in moment at my events and staying open to inspiration through my extensive Improv training has led to some pretty awesome moments that none of us knew were going to occur. That's the part of my job that I look forward to the most.

Services

I can legally marry you as your Ceremony Officiate. And I can make it a highly personalized Ceremony that can incorporate your values and your sense of humor.

I can skillfully mix a wide variety of music to create a great background ambiance during a cocktail hour or meal and I can also generate a strong dancing atmosphere with new and old hits from all genres that will get all age groups and tastes eagerly involved on your dance floor.

I can serve as the your visible "host" keeping your guests informed with my polished microphone skills while also working with the rest of your cast (Family, Friends, VIPs) and crew (Your Team of Service Professionals) behind the scenes to keep things moving smoothly so your guests never get bored or feel uninformed.

I can give your Wedding Party members a fun "Celebrity Style Roast" as part of their personalized introductions. I can give your Guest of Honor at an adult Birthday Party, Retirement Party, or your C.E.O. at an Annual Corporate Event a fun "Celebrity Style Roast".
