Dan has grown an incredible business with DJ Shark Attack! He was organized, asked great questions, accommodated our requests, and kept our whole wedding day running smoothly. When you book DJ Shark Attack you get incredible music and a hype reception, but you also get unreasonable hospitality! Dan had drinks waiting for us at our reception table, checked in on how we were doing, and ensured all names were pronounced correctly. In short, he made sure our special day was truly special.

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!

Venue considerations

  • No on-premises lodging options
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
We got married just over a week ago at the Franklin after booking nearly 2 years ahead of time and genuinely can not say enough about how amazing this venue, management, and staff were. When we met Christina and Danny on our tour we pretty much knew immediately that the Franklin was perfect for our wedding day not only because the venue is absolutely stunning (which it 100% is) but also because of how much Christina and Danny cared about their work and making our day special. Leading up to our wedding we had our tasting which was so much fun and felt like an event in itself, we worked with Cate and Emily (members of the Franklin management team) on our final details which made the day go so smoothly, had our decoration set up (they were so accommodating with time and giving us access to anything we needed, it made everything so easy), and lastly our rehearsal which Emily helped lead and with her guidance we were in and out in no time with all of the knowledge and practice we needed for the big day! And as if all of that wasn’t amazing our wedding day was so perfect largely because of how much work the franklin team put in for us. They helped us with anything we asked and worked with our vendors beautifully. The food was fantastic, Emily helped with day of coordination and was flawless, and the rest of the team was onsite almost the whole day. Our guests (and us of course) were so blown away by the venue and the team. If you have a wedding coming up PLEASE check out this venue and meet their team you will not regret it!

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
Matt provided his services for my husband and I this past weekend for our wedding, and we have nothing but good things to say! When I started wedding planning, the two most important vendors to me was our DJ and photographer. After lots of research and talks with other DJs, I found Matt and I’m so glad I did. He listened to what we wanted and was super professional during the whole process. During our reception, I told him multiple times that I needed him to play something I didn’t know so I could get a break. We highly recommend Matt Baer Media for DJ services and even the Photo Booth. It was a huge hit at our wedding.

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 and Charlie were the absolute best wedding photographers we could have asked for. Rachel was super easy to communicate with leading up to our engagement session and the wedding itself. She was extremely helpful. She’s the exact kind of bubbly and positive personality you want there with you on your wedding day. She and Charlie had my husband and I (neither of which are very comfortable in front of a camera) feel so comfortable, and we ended up with the most beautiful photos. I could not recommend Rachel enough. If you’re looking for a high quality, professional, fun-loving, and overall fantastic wedding photographer, Rachel Myers is where it’s at.

Rachel made herself reachable to our close friends and family, and made sure that we got to enjoy our day and not be tied up in all the logistics. She was flexible, prompt, and wasn’t afraid to take charge of the situation. On top of the coordination, Rachel was a thoughtful and energetic DJ and emcee!

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.

Working with Victoria was 100% the best decision that we made for our wedding planning process. Absolutely worth getting the Ambassador package! From the very beginning, her attention to detail was above and beyond. She truly took the time to listen to what we wanted and came up with a venue and vendor list that was absolutely perfect for our wedding celebration. She is very well organized, professional, knowledgeable, and adaptable - and carried out our Indian wedding to perfection. We are so incredibly happy with how everything turned out. Our guests were amazed at how smoothly the wedding day flowed and the attention to detail. We had an absolutely amazing time and there was nothing we had to worry about at all - everything was just taken care of! We were truly just able to focus on each other and enjoy our wedding day, all thanks to Victoria.

We were terribly disappointed when COVID caused us to cancel our 200 person wedding. In the midst of terrible uncertainty (remember those very early days of the pandemic?!) we planned a micro-wedding with just our parents as witnesses. Every bride dreams of her wedding day, and all of the special moments that go with it. We are so incredibly fortunate and thankful that Emily captured every single one. From the detail shots, to the getting ready images - despite our big day looking nothing like we'd originally planned - Emily documented the experience beautifully. After the ceremony, we headed off to key Kansas City landmarks where Emily took the time to pose and primp us so we looked our absolute best. The photos turned out so wonderfully, we got extra large prints that we proudly display in our hearth room. For couples looking for someone who will effortlessly capture the candid moments, and pay close attention to all of the details for those classic posed portraits, Emily Owens Photography is absolutely the right choice!

Simply Sweet Sensations LLC was a wonderful vendor for our wedding desserts. Jair and her team were incredibly helpful and patient throughout the entire process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the wedding cake they created was absolutely beautiful and delicious, and all of our guests raved about how much they loved it. The cupcakes I requested also turned out exactly as I had envisioned, with the colors and details being perfect. Jair and her team worked with us up until the very last minute to ensure that everything was exactly right, and she even checked in on us to make sure our numbers were correct and the cake was exactly what we requested. I really appreciated the opportunity to do a tasting as well. I highly recommend Simply Sweet Sensations LLC to any couple planning their wedding - they helped make our special day even sweeter!

I’ve been working in the Wedding industry with Brianna for many years, and I’m always thrilled for my clients when I see her name on the paperwork. It’s an assurance that my clients are going to begin one of the most important days of their lives with an artist that is patient, kind, knowledgeable and enjoyable to be around. This makes all of the difference on a day as stressful as your wedding. Brianna goes above and beyond, and should be one of the easiest decisions you make when planning your special day or any other event requiring her services.

Rice + Co. Events was founded in March 2022 as Charley Rice Weddings with the vision of bringing intimacy and personality back into weddings. Charley was ordained by the American Marriage Ministries that same month and began performing ceremonies shortly after. In January of 2023, she began accepting coordination clients as well. Since then the business has grown almost entirely from word-of-mouth. Currently, Charley Rice Weddings offers three comprehensive officiating packages and two comprehensive coordination packages in addition to event rentals, honeymoon planning, and other add-ons.
