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!!!

Keagan was the BEST - we are so thankful we had her help! We used the a la carte options for set-up/take-down day-of our wedding. But Keagan went above and beyond and helped make everything run so smoothly! Set-up would have been a nightmare without her. She totally saw my vision, and took care of everything so I could enjoy the day without thinking about decorations/logistics. THANK YOU Keagan, this was the best money we spend on the wedding, and if I could do it again I would have hired Keagan as our full-on day-of coordinator. HIGHLY recommend.

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!

Their communication was outstanding, and they truly went above and beyond to capture our day in the way we had only dreamed about. The quality of their work was exceptional - they have a classy, timeless documentary style that sparked so many emotions when we saw the final photos and video. Even though my husband and I can be a bit awkward in front of the camera, Chad and Heidi made us feel completely comfortable and helped us show our true emotions. We loved the drone and video clips they provided as well. Timeless Imagery & Media gave 110% and we are so grateful for the beautiful memories they created for us.

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 absolutely loved Forest Park Golf Course! They were so willing to work with the theme/ decorations we had in mind, and never made us feel like we were asking too many questions or bringing too much decor over! Our coordinator, Tram-anh, was amazing! She communicated well all through the wedding process, and was there to help it run smoothly all night. She kept checking in on us and asking if we needed/ wanted anything, which we so appreciated! The wedding day goes so fast, I definitely recommend having a Tram-anh to help it flow smoothly! The food was AMAZING, and Chef was willing to work with us on a custom menu. We had hot dogs and mini sliders amongst other things, and everyone kept raving about the food all night! If we could get remarried here, we definitely would! Truly a one of a kind night Thank you FPGC for everything you guys do! 3

We worked with Ally as our wedding coordinator, and we couldn’t recommend her more! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, organized, and knowledgeable - especially when it came to our ceremony at the Jewel Box in Forest Park, which is known for having an extremely strict timeline.

I cannot say enough good things about our DJ (Jon)! My now husband and I had some concerns regarding some of our family members and we discussed them with Jon prior to the event. Jon respected our wishes and was so professional about everything. He handled things extremely well. We had an issue with the pastor who married us. We had asked the pastor a week or two prior to the wedding if he would at least come by the reception hall to say the blessing at the wedding (He said yes at the time.), and he no-showed. Jon had announced that the pastor would come up and say the blessing, and of course there was radio silence because we quickly realized the pastor wasn’t there. Once we told Jon that he didn’t show up, Jon said a quick blessing and our meal began. We started the dances, and we could not keep people off of the dance floor. Jon kept pace with the crowd so well and everyone had such a blast! What my husband and I didn’t realize at the time was that my husband’s Uncle Joe had a surprise song picked out for us as well as green Irish polo shirts made for all of us (inside joke) and we essentially had a bit of a flash mob at our wedding. Kudos to Jon for going along with his idea! That was so funny and it made our wedding so special. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and I truly hope every couple is blessed with a DJ like Jon. I don’t think he could have done anything better honestly. You will not find a better DJ in the St. Louis / Metro East area! Thanks Jon!

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!!!

Emily is seriously amazing! We had an instant connection of trust and I knew our photos would be perfect. She was there for me through my entire planning process and helped guide me on any changes we needed. For our engagement photos, it was pouring rain and she had a backup plan asap. She makes the photos feel natural and nothing forced. For our wedding day, it rained yet again and Emily took charge of our wedding day. She creates a timeline for you. She was like my day of coordinator too! She came prepared with everything and anything you need. She made sure the day flowed as smooth as possible.

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.

If we could go back we would have allocated more funds towards her for full-planning services! The best way we can describe Rachel is this: she is a problem solver. She sees issues before they become problems, handles challenges without creating stress for the couple, and does it with a cheerful attitude. There are undoubtedly dozens of things she handled that we will never be aware of because she took care of them before they ever reached us. One thing that stood out to us was how universally praised she was by literally everyone involved in our wedding. Our families, friends, officiant, venue staff, audio technician, caterer, reception coordinator, DJ, and ceremony venue owner/director all took time to tell us how fantastic she was. We GENUINELY heard as many compliments about Rachel as we did about the wedding itself! lol. Some Examples: - She took over converting our ceremony song selections into a format our sound technician could use. What would have been a huge last minute project for the bride wasn’t even an inconvenience because Rachel simply took it on. - At the rehearsal, she managed to keep everyone focused. Despite our families and wedding party being, admittedly, not always the easiest group to wrangle. - We realized at the last minute that we had forgotten to charge our camcorder for the ceremony. Rachel didn’t miss a beat, she got the camera charged, positioned it, and had it ready in time to press play for us. Because of her we can relive our ceremony. - She independently improved our pre-ceremony popcorn stand. Rachel happily filled the popcorn boxes. But ALSO coordinated with the venue owner/director to source display stands that made it look far better and more professional than we envisioned. - She personally distributed bouquets and boutonnieres, and helped pin them! - Rachel coordinated directly with the reception venue so we could avoid entering through a crowded public area. Instead we were able to have a private arrival to our cocktail hour. This was something we never would have found for ourselves and it made a huge difference in our experience. - We got stuck in the crowd durring our reception enterance. Rachel, without skipping a beat, got ahead of us to make a path so that we could continue with the festivities. What would have been a weird moment for us, went smoothly because of her. - We had unexpected guest cancellations that left an entire table empty just before the reception. She found a fix to disguise the table and none of our attending guests even noticed the issue. - She also managed to magically keep our drinks refilled through the night guys!! We never even went to the bar because Rachel personally ensured we always had a drink in hand. - She even found time to play part-time photographer for us! Rachel took it upon herself to capture our big moments. She absolutely did not have to do that, but it speaks to how invested she was in making sure we had the best possible experience. -At the end of the night, Rachel handled collecting decor and loading everything into the appropriate vehicles. Which let us soak in the precious last moments of our wedding. If you’re wondering if Rachel is worth the investment, we promise she is. Book her! It is a gift to yourself. You deserve ease, peace, and the ability to be present on your wedding day. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

Hi, I'm Hamza, professionally known as DJ Apocalypse — a full-time wedding and event DJ with over 17 years of experience.

Experienced across weddings, private parties, corporate events, yacht parties, and more; official DJ for Zales, TJ Maxx, Heidel House, Zouk, Hamilton College, and others. I provide premium, reliable equipment, full backup gear, liability insurance, and professional MC services for a stress-free celebration. Let's create an unforgettable soundtrack for your big day!

Hamza was our dj for our interracial marriage. My side of the family is Hispanic while my husband's side is black. I read some of his reviews before we booked him. My husband and I were worried that our family cultures would clash at the reception so we discussed the situation with him in advance and informed him to play a certain type of music and ignore any requests. He did exactly what we told him to and although we (our immidiate family) had a lot of fun, many of my side of the family didn't like modern music and bugged him and our parents about it. There were 350 guests at the wedding. Hamza told us about the situation and suggested that we should just let him take control. Now, for context, we didn't inform him that the guests wanted Mariachi or Cumbia prior to the event. The event hall didn't had any internet. This guy played the absolute best set playing some of the best hits that my relatives loved. We hired him for 8 hours of reception. But he stayed till 3am giving all of us the best times of our lives. When our guests left and when we told him to pack, he told me and husband that you should have a couple of songs that you both can slow dance to which just made my night. He saved us from a lot of embarrassment and made our wedding extra special. He was on time and his setup was great.
