Dan Moore from DJ Shark Attack was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met him, he exceeded all of our expectations. Not only was he an amazing DJ who kept everyone on the dance floor all night, but he was also one of the most genuine and thoughtful people we’ve ever met. We had a special request for a unique entrance into our reception, and Dan completely nailed it. He went above and beyond to make it exactly how we imagined, and it turned out even better than we hoped. On top of that, we asked if he could include last names during the wedding party introductions—something he doesn’t normally do—and he took the time to learn and pronounce every single name correctly. That level of care and attention meant so much to us. He also made a real effort to connect with all of our guests and made sure everyone was well taken care of throughout the night. While my husband and I were off taking sunset photos, Dan got us plates of food and even kept them warm—something we hadn’t thought about, but he did without hesitation. Dan wasn’t just our DJ—he was a huge part of what made our day so special. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens, cares about your day and delivers it on every detail, DJ Shark Attack is the way to go. We couldn’t recommend them more!!!

We cannot thank Ultimate Beats ENOUGH for the fun they brought to our wedding reception!! We had over 300 people at our wedding, and Martin kept the dance floor rocking all night long. There was never a dull moment when it wasn't jam packed with friends and family having a fantastic time! We are over a month after our big day now, and we are STILL getting compliments from our guests for the "amazing DJ" we had at our reception who played "all of the right tunes"! My husband and I also greatly appreciated their flexibility in letting us curate the playlist for the evening. This definitely set them apart from other DJs we spoke with! We are already looking for the next excuse to hire Ultimate Beats for an event again! They are incredible and so easy to work with! Also, we asked for the CO2 cannon in our package which was a HIT. Just something extra to spice up the fun. Ultimate Beats also provided the photobooth for our photo guestbook!

I am a professional DJ from Festus, Missouri. I am also blessed to be a husband and a father to two amazing kids!​ At the beginning of my career, I worked full-time in radio as an on-air talent. After a few years in the radio industry, I was given the opportunity to expand my abilities with companies such as ESPN, Fox Sports Midwest, & one of the top DJ Companies in the STL area! Eventually, after years of hard work, I decided to offer STL couples everything they had been dreaming of for their big day! So, in 2021 I launched my own DJ business... Matt Baer Media!

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not recommend a better DJ for our wedding! We got married April 5, 2024 (so sorry for the delayed review!) and Matt was so helpful from day one of talking with him. We live in FL and he’s in Missouri, where we had our wedding and he was always quick to answer my emails and I never felt like all of my questions were ever bothering him. Matt met with us a few times to go over the songs, lights, expectations, and organization of how the songs fit into the sequence of our special day. He made the process so easy and made himself available to meet in the timeframes that we able to fly home and at a place that was convenient. Since he helped reduce stress in the beginning planning stages and he’s so personable, I knew he would be a great fit for our wedding! And… he was a wonderful DJ! The music was perfect, he didn’t play anything that we didn’t want to hear and everything that everyone loved! We picked out most of the songs we wanted during the evening and he played them without question, plus some perfect fitting songs that the guests would love! We are pretty picky people and Matt did a great job fulfilling the DJ role with our requests and making the night just absolutely lovely!!! There were no instances of equipment/technology failure, which is always a plus, he showed up early to set up and his pricing was better than other quotes I received. His voice was clear and professional, appearance was wedding appropriate, and execution of his DJ skills to make our night magical filled with great music and dancing was fantastic!!! Thank you, Matt for playing your role in making the best day of our lives so memorable!

We are a husband and wife photography team based in St. Louis MO and available worldwide. We absolutely love what we do! Our main focus is to tell a story through the images we take at your wedding. The day will go by so fast and we want you to have a collection of images to relive each moment. We are always seeking clients who share our more laid back personalities, and enjoy the less traditional posed photos. Our style may not be for everyone and that's ok.

Rachel Myers Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was comfortable, efficient, and showed a true understanding of what we were looking for. The quality of their work was simply excellent - the photos they captured were stunning, unique, and thoughtful in their approach. Rachel was so in tune with me (the bride) and the whole vibe of our wedding. Even though she had used our venue with various other couples before, she still had captivating and original ideas that resulted in truly beautiful and memorable shots. Rachel and Charlie are incredible people with a fun and creative approach. They collaborate well and will do whatever you ask, while also suggesting their own exciting thoughts. They played with the moment to find that interesting but perfect shot that gave our photos a beautiful and unique perspective. They are genuinely a kind, caring, and happy couple that love what they do, and it really shows in the incredible service and final product they deliver. We couldn't be happier with our decision to have Rachel Myers Photography capture our special day.

Looking back, it was the absolute best decision and we’re SO glad we went with Allyssa! Our entire bridal party was so impressed with Allyssa and her team. She made any decisions that came up, solved numerous problems, kept everyone on track, and most importantly, made sure everyone could be present in the moment.

Ally was without a doubt the most important piece to our wedding!! She was so important during the planning process and brought up so many good tips and tricks I would never have thought about. She gave us a perfect timeline to work from and allowed us to go about our day blissfully happy while keeping us on track with everything we had planned. We had a lot of moving parts on our day including lots of DIY decor, desserts, flowers as well as setting up a champagne tower and coordinating our guests here and there for our first dance on an outside dock - she made it all happen! She also coordinated everything with the vendors and took a huge load of the work off of me. I’m sure she put out a lot of fires we never even knew existed. She seamlessly set up the reception of my dreams and broke it all down following the reception. She quite honestly had our backs throughout the whole process and was so down to earth and extremely nice/fun/easy to work with! On top of it all, she took beautiful pictures and videos of the reception all set up as well as our first dances with our parents! None of our guests took videos of our dances and it would have been heartbreaking not to have them! She seriously thought of it all - do NOT hesitate to hire Jovial! We couldn’t have done it without her!!

New to St. Louis and planning a wedding was a stressful combination. We did not know what vendors to book for our wedding day, or have any family or friends in the area with recommendations, so we went with a company called George Street Photo and Video. Thank God we did, because they put us in touch with Brooke who went above and beyond my wildest dreams!!!! From day one, Brooke was a joy to work with. Neither my husband or I had been in front of a camera before for any type of photoshoot, and we felt awkward and uncomfortable ... for about 2 seconds. Brooke made us laugh, talked us through poses and how to make them look natural, and took a lot of time and care to get to know us. Needless to say, we were thrilled with her work and went into the wedding day feeling calm and confident that she would capture our day perfectly. Between the engagement shoot and the wedding, Brooke was easy to get a hold of via text and email. She is responsive and full of excellent ideas. With 100 weddings under her belt, she has a wealth of knowledge. TRUST HER to make decisions, and she will blow your mind with the final proofs. She gets to know you intimately, finding out what matters most to you (like family backstories and tradition) and what your vision is. Best yet, she is able to execute it with precision amidst the chaos of wedding day. Her kindness, passion for photography and storytelling through this medium, and organization skills are unmatched. She is the kindest soul, and someone I hope to stay in touch with to photograph life's greatest moments in the years to come. Brooke, thank you for everything. You are one of a kind, and we are blessed to have met you!!!

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.

Hey there! Welcome to Lebeaux weddings and events. I'm a Day of Coordinator with 7 years of experience in the St. Louis Wedding biz. I'm here to take ahold of your existing plans and turn them into a stress-free reality. I love to talk through your vision, reach out and we can set up a quick call or email to discuss further.

Rachel Lebo is an absolute pro when it comes to weddings. When my husband and I first got engaged, I felt like a deer in headlights - so many calls to make, venues to see, and things to arrange. Our very first decision, and quite frankly our best decision, was to hire Rachel. She understands that planning/coordinating a wedding is a daunting task, leaving couples feeling drained and overwhelmed. But Rachel is the cure for all of the stress. My husband and I opted for "the curated experience" on her services menu, with an add-on for a longer timeframe (more of a traditional planning of the whole thing). 10/10 I cannot recommend it enough. Rachel was very communicative, responding to emails promptly and never leaving us guessing. She is happy to call vendors and venues on your behalf, and for me, as a fairly anxious person, this was a huge relief! We told her we wanted Halloweenish/Medieval/Western inspired wedding, and she didn't even bat an eyelash. Together, we planned a wedding for 120 people at St. Louis' historic and haunted Lemp Mansion, a venue which she helped us pick out. With strong background in fine art and DJing, Rachel is extremely detail oriented, employing her signature answers-to-all-questions spreadsheet called "the document." This shared spreadsheet wrangled all the moving parts of the wedding (like contacts, dates, and and everything in between) into a singular location where we could follow along with constant updates. This came in clutch especially during the week of the wedding. With nearly a decade of wedding industry experience under her belt, Rachel dotted every i and crossed every t. Our wedding was PERFECT. Not a thing was out of place. Even when it rained as our outdoor, but covered, wedding was getting started, Rachel was loaded with a contingency plan. We had queer, Jewish ceremony, with many of our guest (and us included) falling under the LGBTQ umbrella. We felt so safe and supported by Rachel! She made sure we got to celebrate exactly how WE wanted to. Rachel Lebo is rising star in the world of wedding planning and coordinating. Our big day felt special and smooth, with Rachel guiding our guests, our wedding party, and of course ourselves. On top of her offering excellent customer service, Rachel is just such a delightful person. She is hilarious, kind, and just wants everyone to have fun on their big day.

Chelsey has taken my graduation photos, engagement photos and wedding photos and all of them have been absolutely amazing! I absolutely love how natural her photos are, yet so incredibly stunning. Not only is she so incredibly talented, she is so sweet, kind, communicative and ensures that she has an understanding of what you want. She is also extremely knowledgeable about the best spots for shoots, shots that are now some of my core memories and will always ask for input on any other shots you could possibly want.

I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was with Cristal as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. From the very first interaction, she was amazing at communicating and made me feel completely at ease. I gave her free rein on my makeup, with only the guidelines of creating a romantic look that would highlight my features, and she absolutely nailed it. I shared a few pictures of my dress with her, and she not only helped me decide on the perfect hairstyle but also executed it flawlessly. The entire process felt so natural and enjoyable, almost as if we had been friends for a long time. On my wedding day, she truly felt like part of the family, and her presence added so much warmth and joy to the occasion. If you're looking for a talented, kind, and genuinely caring hair and makeup artist, look no further than Cristal. She has a remarkable gift for making you look and feel your absolute best on your special day. Thank you, Cristal, for making my wedding day so magical and memorable!
