Tim & Tracy Merry's Wedding Wire Review of Kansas City, MO Wedding DJ & MC Peter Merry with MERRY WEDDINGS

Tim & Tracy Merry’s Review on Wedding Wire

Married: June 29th, 2019
Location: Rein Fire Ranch in Ravensdale, WA

Family-like DJ!

We may be biased, as Peter or Merry Weddings is my (now) husband’s cousin, but he made our wedding AMAZING! From the ceremony music, to the grand entrance, to the reception, everything he did was above and beyond. Days before the wedding, Peter met me at the venue so we could practice my walk to the music to figure out cues. He worked with us for months leading up via FaceTime to make our wedding vision come true. We honestly could not be more happy with having had him as our DJ! We completely recommend Peter to anyone looking for a superb DJ who takes weddings and turns them into masterpieces.

Peter is the most incredible DJ/MC that I have ever seen or worked with. My husband and I booked him for our Kansas City wedding in June 2018… and, (from our amazing team of vendors), we would have to say that Peter was the best decision we made. Peter is the most dedicated MC. During the first meetings, he will work with you to understand details about your wedding and how to personalize the entire reception. From there, we worked with him on planning the entire night! Not a detail was left out and it was EXACTLY what we wanted and more!! Peter helped us to get our family and friends included in the evening, take a group photo with every guest piled on the dance floor, celebrate birthdays of a few guests, and took care of every worry we may have had about the evening running smoothly. If you are looking for a DJ/MC who is worth every penny, Peter is your guy. Our reception, was FUN, everyone danced the entire night, and people have been talking about the wedding nonstop. I can’t think of how the night could have been better….. and it’s all thanks to Peter.

If you’re looking for an amazing DJ who does WAY more than just be a “DJ” in the Kansas City, MO area, look no further than Peter Merry! From the very initial point of contact, Peter was very personable, caring, and warm. He’s a clear communicator and he has excellent suggestions – something that is often more than welcome during the planning process when you’re busy just trying to keep your head above water! He helped to coordinate BOTH our rehearsal dinner and the day of our wedding, collaborating effortlessly with me and my wife. He also adds his own special flare to the “traditional” wedding approach, and helps to ensure that your wedding day is truly FUN. I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat.

Married: October 28th, 2017
Location: Shannon Creek Barn in Olsburg, KS

The best decision of our wedding planning process was hiring Entertainment Director and Legend, Peter Merry with Merry Weddings! I am still on cloud 9 from our wedding in October and we have Peter to thank for that. I knew from my first conversation with Peter he was going to help me plan the wedding I wanted and imagined. I told Peter I wanted a fun, energetic and memorable wedding weekend. Man did he deliver just that! He is worth every single penny and much more!

I saw Peter was based in Kansas City, but he travels for his clients. He traveled from Kansas City to Manhattan/Olsburg, KS for our wedding. The planning process with Peter is smooth, organized and most of all FUN! He has an organized timeline planned out to help with the ease of planning all your wedding needs. This timeline helped keep me on track and eased my stress – it was such a huge help. Your big day will be personalized down to every detail you request.

Peter helped with the planning and entertainment for my rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception. You don’t need an outside wedding coordinator when you hire Peter! He helped with extra details and even ran a few errands to pick up supplies I had forgot about. I was so thankful for that!

Our reception was AMAZING! From the hilarious grand entrance (our family and friends are still talking about this) to the dance party, and our surprise choreographed dance. Which Peter helped put together the dance mix track we wanted for this. He also has some fun surprises he does for his couples throughout the evening, however I want to keep this a surprise. If you want to find out what they are, well you will just have to book him. Our friends and family said our wedding was the best and most memorable one they had ever been to. My husband and I would like to think that’s because we are “kind of big deals”, but let’s be real – Peter is the “big deal”. Our best wedding ever would not have been possible without him!

Luke & Tomi Winston’s Review on Wedding Wire

Married: October 14th, 2017
Location: Chrisman Manor in Oskaloosa, KS

Peter and his wife did an amazing job with our wedding. If you want a DJ who actually wants to get to know you and your wedding party this is your guy.

He isn’t just a DJ but basically the wedding planner as well, from creating the itinerary to making sure everything runs smoothly. There was never a lull where people were just sitting around not knowing what was going on.

You can have the perfect venue & perfect food, but if your DJ doesn’t keep the party going and flowing smoothly that will be all the guest think about. You truly don’t realize how important a DJ really is until you go to other weddings, and it is amazing how much of a difference it is. You can tell when a DJ just shows up and doesn’t even know the groom and bride’s names until he reads it off the piece of paper (usually gets it wrong I might add).

And we are so grateful for his wife, she literally cleaned up paint off carpet. Made sure everything was in the right place, and even setup our ceremony as it had rained and needed to be moved inside the day of.

You can really tell these two love what they do, and will give you 100% of their dedication to making sure your day goes off without a hitch.

The Nations best DJ has made his mark in Kansas City!!

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!

I never realized before that a Dj does more than just hit the play button on an iPod connected to some speakers. A DJ really can turn your reception from needing a lot of booze to get your guests on the dance floor, to everyone feeling recognized and wanting to get on the dance floor because they’re having such a good time!!

Peter Merry of Merry Weddings was more than I ever could have asked for or expected. Whatever ideas I had about what a DJ should be at a wedding don’t even come close to how wonderful Peter was! He made my wedding reception a piece of cake. Everything ran incredibly smoothly because of his leadership and guidance, keeping the timing of the wedding down to a tee. He was entertaining, played a great mixture of music, and kept everyone in a great mood! I would recommend Merry Weddings to everyone!!!!

Peter is amazing! Growing up , I attended a number of wedding Peter did and I knew when my day came I wouldn’t have a wedding without him. He’s a magic maker. He kicks the party off and keeps the party rolling. He is organized and on top of everything including things you wouldn’t even think of. Thank you so much for all the memories on our special day!!!

Peter Merry is a man who needs no introduction….because he’s the one that gives it. We hired Peter for both my mom’s 60th birthday and for our wedding, and we could not have been happier. Peter knows how to have a great time, how to keep an evening moving along in the right direction, how to keep people interested and not feel like they are being pressured by a cheesy DJ. He is very professional, and knows what he needs to do and get’s it done.

Location: Parker Ranch in Trabuco Canyon, CA

One of the best DJs in the business! Peter is very professional and on top of things. The rehearsal dinner 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!

If you are planning an event specifically a wedding – Peter Merry is absolutely fantastic. He is easy to work with and customizes your special day the way you envisioned it and makes suggestions that you can choose to use or not. My husband and I could not be happier with the level of service, commitment that Peter Merry brings. After our wedding reception, I thought to myself “Can we do this (reception) again? We had such blast celebrating with friends and family. I have even thought of calling Peter for our future anniversary to see if he’s available to help us make our anniversary a special celebration for us. If you select Peter Merry, you won’t be disappointed. Not to mention several of our guests said it was “the best wedding reception ever”…just like the title of his book. Planning a wedding can be a stressful time so take away the stress by hiring Peter-with his expertise you will be happy you selected him.

Married: May 22nd, 2011
Location: Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club in Mission Viejo, CA

Hands down, Peter was one of the best parts of our wedding. One of the first things my husband and I said after we left the wedding was “I couldn’t have imagined having anyone else as our DJ”. Peter is extremely talented at what he does and goes above and beyond to make sure your wedding feel unique and personal.

You cannot compare Peter to a “typical” DJ. If you do so, you will be very alarmed by his prices. They are well beyond that of anyone else we looked at. However, after going through the wedding, I would highly recommend budgeting to have Peter at your wedding. You won’t be disappointed. Peter completely made our reception and our officiant (Don Johnson) totally made the ceremony. A large majority of guest told us it was by far the best wedding they’ve ever been to. I think a large portion of that had to do with the location, Don Johnson and Peter Merry.

I went to a wedding a week after ours and it was interesting to compare DJs. Peter works with you to make everyone at the wedding feel appreciated. He makes everyone feel welcomed. He also plans it so there is very little down time. There is always something to do or see. At no point during the wedding did I see anyone sitting at their table looking “bored”. You honestly can’t even call Peter just a DJ, because he does so much more than that. He organized our rehearsal, came to our rehearsal dinner, ran our ceremony, did the music for the cocktail hour, presided over the rehearsal (organizing most of that) and used his expertise to make sure every single detail was absolutely perfect.

I would honestly give peter 100 stars if I could. If you can afford him, I would highly HIGHLY recommend him. He is truly an expert and professional. If you have any questions about Peter, feel free to contact me:

Petty Merry absolutely MADE our reception. He was so thorough in covering every possible thing we might need during our meetings with him prior to the wedding. His energy and genuine interest in our satisfaction made us look forward each meeting with him. The evening of the reception we didn’t THINK about a thing – Peter had EVERYTHING covered! He was so on top of it. Even being the control freak and perfectionist that I am – I didn’t have to obsess about a thing, because Peter had it covered. His style and personality made our guests feel welcomed and comfortable and a part of the party – which was exactly what we wanted! Even though my husband and I left the reception an hour before we had to be out of the hall, Peter stayed and played through the hour for all of our guests – they all raved about how great he was and his energy never wavered throughout the night and on into the morning! If you haven’t already made “room” for a Master of Ceremonies – DO IT! It was make all the difference for your reception; you’ll be able to focus on your new spouse and enjoying time with your guests instead of worrying about cutting the cake at 9pm and tossing the garter at 10pm. Peter does all the stressin’ for you so all you’re really left to do is PARTY!

Peter was fantastic. I had a huge wedding and was a bit worried because we were having it in my husband’s backyard and it wasn’t a sit down dinner. Peter was able to have all of our guests attention when we needed it and kept them entertained the entire night. I felt completely confident that our wedding reception would go smoothly because he was in control. He met with us three times before and we knew exactly the plan of the reception, all of our vendors as well knew what would be happening thanks to Peter! From before our entrance to our exit, the party kept going and never stalled. Peter kept us laughing and enjoying ourselves. So many people were dancing and jumping that even the dance floor over the pool broke! (Don’t worry, no one fell in) But that didn’t keep anyone from getting their groove on. He is incredibly professional and always has a backup for anything that could go wrong, even having an extra garter for the silly bride that forgets hers (me!). Peter was recommended to us by a few couples and we greatly recommend him to others. He helped make our wedding a night to remember and we have only heard wonderful things. Thank you Peter!!

Peter Merry was a great DJ and overall MC for our wedding reception. He was easily accessible during the detailed planning sessions and many guests were so impressed at his knowledge of not only us, but our whole bridal party! He kept the flow of the reception moving and exciting, and there were definitely no lulls. He also became a good friend and we were able to share our traditional Korean bowing ceremony with Peter as well, while he made sure he had traditional Korean music. I HIGHLY recommend Peter Merry as a DJ!

Peter met with us two different times prior to the wedding to go over everything in detail for the timeline. He was also accessible by phone or email very easily for any feedback. I felt very confident that he would help make all the events go smoothly. I highly recommend Peter for any event as he will help make it one of the most memorable and best events ever!

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!

If you want to find out what they are, well you will just have to book him. Our friends and family said our wedding was the best and most memorable one they had ever been to.

Luke & Tomi Winston’s Review on The Knot

Married: October 14th, 2017
Location: Chrisman Manor in Oskaloosa, KS

Peter and his wife did an amazing job with our wedding. If you want a DJ who actually wants to get to know you and your wedding party this is your guy.

He isn’t just a DJ but basically the wedding planner as well, from creating the itinerary to making sure everything runs smoothly. There was never a lull where people were just sitting around not knowing what was going on.

You can have the perfect venue & perfect food, but if your DJ doesn’t keep the party going and flowing smoothly that will be all the guest think about. You truly don’t realize how important a DJ really is until you go to other weddings, and it is amazing how much of a difference it is. You can tell when a DJ just shows up and doesn’t even know the groom and bride’s names until he reads it off the piece of paper (usually gets it wrong I might add).

And we are so grateful for his wife, she literally cleaned up paint off carpet. Made sure everything was in the right place, and even setup our ceremony as it had rained and needed to be moved inside the day of.

You can really tell these two love what they do, and will give you 100% of their dedication to making sure your day goes off without a hitch.

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 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!!

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.

Peter is the most incredible DJ/MC that I have ever seen or worked with. My husband and I booked him for our Kansas City wedding in June 2018… and, (from our amazing team of vendors), we would have to say that Peter was the best decision we made.

Peter is the most dedicated MC. During the first meetings, he will work with you to understand details about your wedding and how to personalize the entire reception. From there, we worked with him on planning the entire night! Not a detail was left out and it was EXACTLY what we wanted and more!!

Peter helped us to get our family and friends included in the evening, take a group photo with every guest piled on the dance floor, celebrate birthdays of a few guests, and took care of every worry we may have had about the evening running smoothly.

If you are looking for a DJ/MC who is worth every penny, Peter is your guy. Our reception, was FUN, everyone danced the entire night, and people have been talking about the wedding nonstop. I can’t think of how the night could have been better….. and it’s all thanks to Peter.

He also adds his own special flare to the “traditional” wedding approach, and helps to ensure that your wedding day is truly FUN. I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat.

Married: January 5th, 2018
Location: Desert Foothills Events & Weddings in Phoenix, AZ

Our situation was very unique with Merry Weddings. Peter road tripped it out to Arizona to DJ our wedding and I cannot say enough good things about him. He made this entire process a breeze. As a bride, I was reassured by Peter that he had this entire part of the wedding handled and he encouraged me not to worry. We were blown away with him… he has some tricks up his sleeves and really kept our guests engaged the entire wedding. Peter had each of our bridesmaids and groomsmen buckled over laughing with his hilarious intros, he timed everything perfectly (walking down the aisle, mic timing, volume levels and jokes). He even helped me when my brother decided to do a speech last minute, he fit that right into our timeline. peter also walked our entire through the ceremony step by step and “really took the bull by the horns” and made my life so much easier.

Peter really took the time to sketch out our vision for our wedding and got to know us on a personal level to see what our musical tastes were like. There wasn’t a single person sitting during our entire wedding. He also catered to every special request we had made this whole “entertainment director”  thing look so easy (which I know it isn’t). If you’re looking for a true professional and class act, I’d recommend Peter to anyone and everyone I know, I only wish he lived in Arizona so all of my friends could use him.

The aftermath of our wedding was filled with compliments specifically geared towards the music and “flow” of our entire wedding. Thank you Peter! We owe it all to you!

The best decision of our wedding planning process was hiring Entertainment Director and Legend, Peter Merry with Merry Weddings! I am still on cloud 9 from our wedding in October and we have Peter to thank for that. I knew from my first conversation with Peter he was going to help me plan the wedding I wanted and imagined. I told Peter I wanted a fun, energetic and memorable wedding weekend. Man did he deliver just that! He is worth every single penny and much more!

I saw Peter was based in Kansas City, but he travels for his clients. He traveled from Kansas City to Manhattan/Olsburg, KS for our wedding. The planning process with Peter is smooth, organized and most of all FUN! He has an organized timeline planned out to help with the ease of planning all your wedding needs. This timeline helped keep me on track and eased my stress – it was such a huge help. Your big day will be personalized down to every detail you request.

Peter helped with the planning and entertainment for my rehearsal dinner, wedding ceremony and reception. You don’t need an outside wedding coordinator when you hire Peter! He helped with extra details and even ran a few errands to pick up supplies I had forgot about. I was so thankful for that!

Our reception was AMAZING! From the hilarious grand entrance (our family and friends are still talking about this) to the dance party, and our surprise choreographed dance.

I never realized before that a Dj does more than just hit the play button on an iPod connected to some speakers.

Oh, and I also need to add. Peter took some pictures and videos throughout the night as well. I am forever grateful that he did, as my photographer and video vendors didn’t capture our wedding like we had hoped. I have perfect video of some very special moments during the evening thanks to Peter.

Why oh why can’t I give more than 5 stars?? Peter deserves 100! Want a fun, entertaining, amazing wedding? Give Peter a call, he’s hands down the BEST. My husband and I had a pretty small wedding in my parent’s backyard and he gave us exactly what we wanted. We have had so many friends tell us it was the best wedding they went to, and it was all thanks to Peter. My sister is going to have him for her wedding in January and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with. I also recommend reading his book, lots of great ideas I hadn’t considered.  For example: I didn’t want to toss the bouquet, I’ve never been a huge fan of that tradition. So Peter came up with the idea of giving it away to the couple married the longest. How sweet can you get? Whenever I hear that someone wants to have a friend DJ their wedding or set up an I-Pod with a wedding mix, I cringe. Having a great DJ who takes pride in their work truly makes the wedding. Skip the cake, skip the table settings, and put some money towards your DJ, you will NOT be sorry. Thank you Peter so much, you made our wedding so memorable, we wouldn’t change a thing!

One of the best DJs in the business! Peter is very professional and on top of things. The rehearsal dinner 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!

If you are planning an event specifically a wedding – Peter Merry is absolutely FANTASTIC. He is easy to work with and customizes your special day the way you ENVISIONED it and makes suggestions that you can choose to use or not. My husband and I could not be HAPPIER with the level of service, commitment that Peter Merry brings. After our wedding reception, I thought to myself “Can we do this again (reception)?” We had such blast celebrating with friends and family. I have even thought of calling Peter for our future anniversary to see if he’s available to help us make our anniversary a special celebration for us. FIVE STARS FOR PETER MERRY. If you select him you WON’T BE DISAPPOINTED. Not to mention several of our guests said it was THE BEST WEDDING EVER just like the title of his book. Planning a wedding can be a stressful time so take away the stress by hiring Peter – with his expertise you will be HAPPY you selected him.

Peter’s expertise and originality allows him to go over the top working with his client’s ideas.  His interaction with the ‘stars of the show” and the guests makes any event a memorable occasion.  Although he specializes in weddings, he is great with any event or party.  His book “The Best Wedding Reception…Ever!”  is a great tool and guide as well and is available through his sites.  I have it, and I find that many of the ideas can be used for other gatherings as well, large or small.  I’ve been to weddings, birthdays and some other events where he has worked his magic, and everyone felt like he was an old friend. He brings everything and everyone together.   Highly recommended!!  You will be glad to have worked with Peter Merry on your memorable gathering.

He truly is a cut above anyone I have ever seen.

It is hard to explain the difference between Peter and others, but when you experience it as both a Bride or Groom or a guest, you can really see, feel the difference.

The Best Wedding Reception Ever! is a great book.

Peter and his wife did an amazing job with our wedding. If you want a DJ who actually wants to get to know you, your family, and your wedding party this is your guy. He isn’t just a DJ but basically the wedding planner as well, from creating the itinerary to making sure everything runs smoothly. There was never a lull where people were just sitting around not knowing what was going on. You can have the perfect venue & perfect food, but if your DJ doesn’t keep the party going and flowing smoothly that will be all the guest think about. You truly don’t realize how important a DJ really is until you go to other weddings, and it is amazing how much of a difference it is. You can tell when a DJ just shows up and doesn’t even know the groom and bride’s names until he reads it off the piece of paper (usually gets it wrong I might add). And we are so grateful for his wife, she literally cleaned up paint off carpet. She made sure everything was in the right place, and even setup our ceremony as it had rained and needed to be moved inside the day of. You can really tell these two love what they do, and will give you 100% of their dedication to making sure your day goes off without a hitch.

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!

Thank you Peter!

Peter is amazing! Growing up , I attended a number of wedding Peter did and I knew when my day came I wouldn’t have a wedding without him. He’s a magic maker. He kicks the party off and keeps the party rolling. He is organized and on top of everything including things you wouldn’t even think of. Thank you so much for all the memories on our special day!!!

A Merry Wedding Indeed!

Man did we make the right call on hiring Peter. What is a wedding about? Having fun and creating a special moment for everyone involved .Peter get’s that 100% and it showed through in every interaction with us. Peter is meticulous and his attention to detail and ability to translate our vision into an incredible experience is at a level achieved by true experts at their craft. the wedding experience is more than a playlist. The preparation, the flow of the days, the experience and feelings of the guests… these are all influenced by each interaction they have during your wedding and who has more interactions with each guest that your MC/DJ?? if you want to create memories that not just you and your spouse remember, but your whole wedding will remember, then work with Peter Merry. It’s 110% worth it. It wasn’t just us that felt this way. After the even for months and even to this day, people bring up how great the MC/DJ experience was. I mean who besides the wedding planner shows up the day before the event to participate and make sure he can support the execution of everything in any way possible?? Peter does and it meant the world to us. Even when we had a fuse blow (the location’s fuse) because we were cranking the jams so hard, he was cool under pressure and and worked through the challenge with grace and charm. A crazy and unfortunate occurrence turned into a fun moment and just like that; it was over and we were back to having a blast. Peter navigated it brilliantly. We are beyond thrilled with the work and service that Peter provided. We tell every single person we can who is about to have a wedding that they should stop any research on MCs/Bands/DJs etc. and just call Peter. Trust us, we’ve seen the alternatives and they do not hold a candle to what you will get by choosing to work with Peter.

Thanks again Mr. Merry!!
