6 West Michigan Entertainers I Love Working With

  • 4 min read

In this industry, talent is important, but who you are offstage matters just as much. The best events happen when performers are not only great at what they do, but also easy to work with, kind to the crew, and genuinely excited to be there.


These are the entertainers I love working with in West Michigan. They are friends, collaborators, and professionals I trust completely. They show up prepared, they read the room, and they make every event better simply by being part of it.


1. Aerial Ashley

Aerial Silks | Lyra | Champagne Pour Performer

Aerial Ashley is my favorite person to share a stage with. Her aerial silks, lyra, and champagne pour performances bring an immediate sense of elegance and awe to a room. The moment she goes up, conversations stop and phones come out.


What makes Ashley special is her adaptability. Whether the ceiling is massive or the space is more intimate, she adjusts beautifully and still delivers a performance that feels intentional and refined. During cocktail hours, her atmospheric performances break the ice instantly. Guests gather, ask questions, and connect with each other through the experience.


She brings grace, strength, and presence in a way that people remember long after the event ends.

2. Will Juggle

Comedy Juggler | Stage Performer

Will Juggle is pure fun in the best possible way. His comedy, juggling, and audience interaction make him an instant favorite wherever he performs. He has a character that feels approachable and playful, and people genuinely root for him from the moment he steps onstage.


Behind the scenes, Will is an absolute pro. He is easy to work with, flexible, and incredibly likable. Event planners love him because he makes their job easier, and audiences love him because he makes them feel included.

If you want a performer who lifts the energy of a room, keeps it family friendly and keeps people engaged from start to finish, Will is it.









3. Tyler Grey

Close Up Magician | Wedding Expert | Sleight of Hand

Tyler Grey is one of my favorite close up magicians to watch, which is why he is a regular guest performer in Amaze & Amuse. His sleight of hand is smooth, modern, and incredibly strong. The reactions he gets during walkaround magic are priceless.


Tyler is fantastic for weddings, cocktail hours, and corporate events where you want to get people talking early. Guests walk away laughing, stunned, and immediately telling someone else what they just experienced. He is reliable, professional, and someone I trust completely in front of an audience.

Brynn Cummings is one of the most inspiring young performers I know. Watching her perform on America’s Got Talent was incredible, and seeing her live in Los Angeles during the competition was something special.


Her ventriloquism is sharp, creative, and confident well beyond her years. Kids connect with her instantly, and adults are just as impressed. She is especially powerful for schools and family events because she shows young people what it looks like to fully commit to a passion.

Brynn brings joy, talent, and inspiration to every stage she steps on.

5. Andy Beningo

Comedian | Corporate Entertainment

Andy Beningo is one of the funniest and most dependable comedians I have worked with. He is clean, clever, and knows exactly how to keep a corporate audience laughing without making HR nervous.


Andy is nationally touring, has a comedy special, and consistently delivers strong performances whether it is a ticketed show or a corporate event. We have worked together in multiple settings, and every time the audience walks away talking about how much they enjoyed him.

On top of that, Andy is one of the nicest people you will meet. He is professional, easy to work with, and a genuinely good guy and family man. That combination is rare and valuable.


Live Band | Indie Pop | Event Music


BRENA is one of those bands that instantly elevates the room. Their sound is modern, polished, and approachable, which makes them a great fit for corporate events, ticketed shows, and private gatherings where you want live music that feels intentional, not background noise.


They know how to read a space and match the energy of the moment, whether that means creating a laid-back atmosphere or bringing things up a notch. Beyond the music, they are professional, easy to work with, and thoughtful about how their performance fits into the overall flow of an event. Recently saw them at a wedding and they were such a fun time!

BRENA is the kind of band that people ask about afterward, which is always a good sign.
