Soon after we married in 2021, we started this business knowing how important music is on your special day, just as it was for us. We have a passion for providing not just a fun presence, but a music lineup suited to your specific wants and personality. We also spent most weekends going out so that Chris could sing karaoke. This is our passion and we love hosting private and public shows.

Many DJs and Karaoke hosts stand behind their booths and simply crank out the songs. We’re different. Applauze is dancing with the music while DJ/KJ Chris is your Wobble and Cupid Shuffle. Grandma may be tapping her foot and singing and wishing someone would ask her to dance, or if you want to sing a duet to calm your nerves, Chris will join you. Chris brings the party and drops it like it’s hot! (Not the microphones… they are too expensive:)

When you hire Applauze Entertainment, you not only hire our music services, but you hire marketing and advertising through our social media page and website. Our website has SEO (Search Engine Optimization) that will be linked to events in addition to our attention to promoting on other event sites. When you hire Chris and Alayna Ladner, you receive more than just DJ and Karaoke… you receive a give-and-take business friendship. We appreciate our clients and our clients appreciate us!
