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.

Working with Desiree from Something Blue was truly one of the best decisions we made for our May 2026 wedding! As a former event planner myself, I know too well how much goes into preparing and ensuring everything runs smoothly day-of while managing client needs and Desiree exceeded every expectation! From our first meeting, she was calm, reassuring, kind, incredibly organized, and always one step ahead. No matter what came up, whether it was having difficult conversations with vendors or last minute changes, she handled everything with such grace that I never had to worry. She created a sense of calm throughout the planning process and on our wedding day, which allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy every moment. We had some circumstances change about 2 months before our wedding which led to asking to increase Desiree’s involvement in the planning process and she was so incredibly gracious and flexible with us. Having her as the main point of contact for our vendors in that last month was a huge asset! What stood out most was how genuinely invested she was in making our day special. She listened, anticipated our needs, and made us feel supported every step of the way. It's rare to find someone who is not only exceptionally good at what they do but is also such a wonderful person to work with! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is thoughtful, personal, organized, and an absolute joy to work with, I cannot recommend Desiree and Something Blue highly enough. Thank you for making our wedding day everything we hoped for and 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!

We had the pleasure of working with Heidi for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day itself, Heidi was professional, personable, and incredibly talented. She captured every special moment with such an artistic eye and attention to detail. The way she managed to blend into the background while still getting those perfect candid shots was amazing. Our wedding album is a treasure trove of memories, beautifully edited and filled with shots that truly reflect the emotions and joy of the day. We especially loved how she made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which is no small feat. Her patience and creativity really shone through, and we are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who can deliver both exceptional service and breathtaking photos. Thank you for making our day even more memorable!

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!

Venue considerations

  • 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!

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 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!

Brooke did amazing. Since day one when we first met during our engagement photos. She communicates very well and made sure we were happy with our shots. Shes excellent with something I call “over communication”. It’s a good characteristic/quality to have. When someone wants many yes, no, maybes, etc from you… stuff is always crystal clear. We had multiple meetings with her over zoom/Google meets to keep things clear for our wedding day. Everything was planned out with our photos, family photos, bridal party, etc. not only did she did a great job, she was more of a friend and someone we could rely on during our most important day of our lives. She was right there by our side and was an essential piece to how successful our wedding day went. We’d recommend Brooke to anyone looking to have some organized, on top of it, and great at what she does!

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.

Like a lot of couples, we had a mix of fleshed-out ideas and vague ideas, and Victoria helped us come up with a beautiful wedding that felt personal and unique to us. My only regret is not leaning on her more, since I know she would have found exactly what we were looking for and saved us a lot of stress. Victoria had excellent vendor recommendations, but we never felt pressured to hire anyone just because she said we should. I would recommend her to anyone planning their wedding in St. Louis!

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.

We hired Rachel as our Day of Coordinator for our September 2024 wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her. One of the first recommendations I make to someone getting married is to hire a coordinator for their wedding - and this is entirely because of our experience with Rachel. She prompted us on the right questions for things we never would have considered, and was a huge help in guiding us on the timeline of events. She executed everything with a cool confidence, and we received so many compliments on how fun the wedding was and how smooth the event went. 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. Highly recommend for your needs - big or small!

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.

Hi, I'm Hamza, professionally known as DJ Apocalypse — a full-time wedding and event DJ with over 17 years of experience. I specialize in high-energy, personalized receptions with seamless live mixes tailored to your style, keeping every guest on the dance floor. 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.
