DJ Shark Attack was an absolute hit at our wedding! Their communication was clear, responsive, and professional from the very start. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - they kept the dance floor packed all night with their high energy and seamless execution. When we had to adjust the timeline, they handled it smoothly without a hitch. We were so thrilled with their performance that they were the first call my parents made when planning their 50th anniversary party next year. I would book DJ Shark Attack again in a heartbeat.

If you are even thinking about hiring a wedding coordinator, stop looking and book Desiree and her team immediately. She was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she was organized, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive to every detail. She made my mom, husband and I all feel heard and took every idea we all had and was able to combine them to create something we all loved. But what really set her apart was how much she genuinely cared about making our day feel special and seamless. She handled things before we even knew they needed to be handled, kept everything running smoothly, and somehow made the entire day feel calm and joyful instead of stressful. Because of her, my husband and I were able to fully enjoy every moment of our wedding day. We didn’t have to worry about timelines, vendors, or logistics—she had everything completely under control. She anticipated needs, solved problems instantly, and made sure every detail came together perfectly. She also brought such a warm, positive energy that made the whole experience even better. Our family and wedding party all commented on how amazing she was and how smoothly everything ran. Our wedding day was truly the best day of our lives, and she played such a huge role in making it that way. We are so grateful for everything she did and could not recommend her more highly.

We hired Martin for our NYE wedding and he did not disappoint! He was very easy to work with and responded quickly. Martin kept our dance floor full all night long with mixing songs and beat matching. We added cold sparklers for our midnight toast and it was such a hit! We also used Ultimate Beats photo booth and it could not have been easier. Highly recommend!!

Chris was an absolute angel. Our original DJ double‑booked and cancelled on us last minute, and Chris stepped in without hesitation. Within hours of our first call, he had a full portal set up for us to add our favorite songs/playlists to and upload our entire wedding timeline so he could get familiar with every detail. The week before we had a final zoom call to confirm everything was set and ready to roll. He was the most organized DJ I've ever worked with. On the day of, he was personable, fun, and struck the perfect balance of interaction with our guests. He kept a smile on his face the entire night, and our reception was better because of him. My husband and I are beyond thankful for how he turned a stressful situation into one of the best parts of our wedding.

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!

If you’re looking for an engaging, professional team to bring your wedding vision to life, look no further! I had the pleasure of working with Trinity Griffin Events (TGE) for day-of coordination at my wedding last October, and the experience was outstanding. My primary coordinator was Nikki, with Trinity serving as my secondary coordinator—both were incredible. Our package included support starting 90 days before the wedding, helping my husband and me stay organized and on track as the big day approached. That guidance made a huge difference in easing stress throughout the planning process. TGE also handled the setup and breakdown of our décor, which allowed me, my family, and friends to stay fully present and enjoy the celebration without worrying about logistics. From our very first meeting through post-wedding follow-up, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine warmth truly stood out. If I had to do it all over again, I would choose TGE in a heartbeat!

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!!

I launched Allyssa Elaine Events in 2016 and have been spending the last few years in awe of what I get to call my job. I have planned, coordinated, and designed over 250 weddings since our beginning and we are already booking fast for next year! Here at AEE, we are dedicated to giving quality service, building relationships with clients, and providing the best experience at every event. We are always up for any task you hand us and go above and beyond, no questions asked. We love the people that trust us with these important moments in life!

TLDR: My friends and parents told me "brides don't get to remember their wedding because it's too stressful". I remember EVERYTHING thanks to Allyssa and so do my family and friends. It was an amazing flawless experience strictly due to her. We purchased the full package wedding planning as my husband and I are both physicians, and boy was it worth the . She helped us from start (finding a venue) to finish (literally packs things into your car during the wedding). Planning a wedding seems so daunting and she made it seamless. She recommends reliable vendors, contacts them, sets up appointments for you, and even goes to the appointments with you. She helped me make many of the decisions (there are just too many lets be honest). I said this to her during most of our meetings, there would be no wedding without Allyssa. The wedding day itself went off without a hitch. She has a meticulously planned itinerary that is realistic and so helpful. As a bride, you don't have to think or worry about anything because she does all that for you. It's like being a guest at your own wedding--stress free and good times only. She has a tackle box filled with oopsie-fixers for anything that may go wrong... my husband spilled taco on his shirt and she got it right off. She thinks of everything, is somehow everywhere at all times, and has everything under control. She is calm, cool and collected under pressure; which is a MUST HAVE on your wedding day. On top of being all this , she is a great person. She is so nice, funny, and friendly! I loved hanging out with her during the process. My husband couldn't make it to many of the planning appointments, so Allyssa went with me!! It's like having a best friend come along who also has great taste and knows everyone. If you're on the fence about getting a wedding planner, the answer is simple--HIRE ALLYSSA. If you want to remember every detail of your wedding--HIRE ALLYSSA. And, in my case, if you want there to be any wedding at all--HIRE ALLYSSA. I just love her!

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.

Great energy. Beautiful product. Great communication. Brandon and his team were amazing to work with from the first introductory phone call until the end result was delivered. They cared for our night like we were family. Brandon's sincerity is unmatched and couldn't have asked for a better company to work with. We are grateful to have met!

Chloe was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Her communication was clear, fun and easy-going, making the entire process really enjoyable. The quality of her work is simply gorgeous - her compositions and use of color are stunning, and she provided great pose suggestions that resulted in beautiful, natural-looking photos. Chloe captured all the memories we wanted from our engagement shoot and wedding day, as well as so many special moments we didn't even have time to see on our big day.

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.

Amazing DJ, he was on point all night, from the arrival and set up, to the very end... the night was absolutely wonderful. He carefully followed our specific playlist while still reading the room perfectly, which made the night feel completely US. The music set the tone for every part of the evening, and the dance floor was full of love, laughter, and nonstop fun.
