Britt's Bakehouse

Kirkwood, MO
  • Cakes & desserts
  • Starts at $4 per serving

Britt firmly believes that just because you’re gluten-free doesn’t mean you don’t deserve good cake. So, she makes really, really good cake. Britt was diagnosed with gluten intolerance in 2009. After briefly mourning her beloved gluten, she resolved to continue to find joy in baking and create delicious gluten-free baked goods. Britt's Bakehouse opened its doors in 2019 and has been baking people happy ever since!

A little difficult to communicate with over email, but once the ball is rolling everything was seamless. Cake was delicious and so moist! Kept in our fridge for a week and was still good the whole time. Can’t wait to save the rest of our cake for next year!

DJ shark attack DJ’d our wedding and did an amazing job. We had so many friends say that we had the most people constantly on the dance floor than they’d ever seen at a wedding before! Paige was awesome and continued to check in throughout the night on what songs we wanted to hear and if the vibe was good. Communication leading up to the day was also so great and they were all so quick to answer any questions. Highly recommend

Imagine Thanksgiving. You're prepping the turkey, trying to find the fancy bowls, answering 1,000 questions from your fiance. Then the doorbell rings - you're letting in guests, taking their coats, trying to stop the dog from running out the door. Then SHOOT, the TURKEY! You sit down for dinner exhausted, you have one glass of wine, and then it's time to clean it all up. You realize you didn't even get to talk to your mom, or your brother you rarely see. Your wedding day shouldn't be like Thanksgiving. You should be able to enjoy every single second. With Complete, you CAN!

Complete Weddings Events St. Louis made our wedding day feel effortless, even though we know how much work was happening behind the scenes. From start to finish, they communicated with us in a way that felt personal and fun, while also being incredibly thorough about every detail. On the day of, our coordinator wrangled so much to keep everything running smoothly and the staff weren't afraid to go with the flow when we needed them to. One of our favorite moments was watching our videographer take such good care of us—he even carried my plate at dinner so I could enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics. Their attention to detail and great vibes made our day really special, and we felt so supported the entire time. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat to any couple planning a wedding in St. Louis. The photographers and videographer were so fun when we were off doing our couple photos. The DJ and Photo Booth made the reception so much fun. It was such a great day! (The photo is one I snagged when the groomsmen were getting photos taken, they used the space super well!)

She listened to my endless ideas with confidence, scoured the internet for hours looking for decor I could snag, showed up while I was always running late, and never once made it feel like it was too much.

Simply Sweet Sensations LLC and Jair were a dream to work with for our wedding desserts. From our first meeting, Jair had great communication and really listened to what we envisioned for our cake, cupcakes, and dessert shooters. The final products exceeded our expectations - the cake was elegant and delicious, the cupcakes disappeared quickly, and the shooters were a huge hit with our guests.

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!

Richard was our DJ and I could never be able to recommend him enough. If you are reading this and you are a bride I'm begging you to book with this company and Richard specifically. He saved my wedding day and did so much more than just DJ. When it started to rain during my photos I started to panic and he was right there with a drink in hand and words of encouragement. He held an umbrella over our photographers head the whole time so she wouldn't mess up her camera. My husband was having trouble holding the train of my dress and he helped him out and carried it too. He was like a built in groomsmen! He offered to help in anyway he could. Not only that but the dance floor was amazing! He played all our request, kept the dance floor going without making the guest feel obligated. The guest complimented the music and how fun it was and even my mom was out there busting a move. It was so much fun and just the perfect music. I truly can't explain how much this man did for us but I would book him all over again in a heart beat! He also snapped a few pictures of us with the photographer and put them on the cover of the DJ booth. Our guest could see sneak peaks from that were just taken. It was wonderful!!

As the groom’s mom, I wasn’t sure how much I’d care about the video and photos. But now that I have them, I realize it’s something I’ll cherish forever. Seeing my son smiling, dancing, holding his bride’s hand, it makes me so proud and emotional. They captured him in a way I’ve never seen before, so happy and full of love. The video was just beautiful, I cried like three times watching it. The photos of us together as a family are already framed in my living room.

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 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!

We truly can’t say enough good things about this venue. From the food and service to the coordination and attention to detail, every aspect of our reception exceeded our expectations. We chose the Magnolia Package, and the food was absolutely incredible. We selected the duet entrée with the stuffed chicken breast and filet, served with gratin potatoes and asparagus, and our guests are still talking about it weeks later. Wedding food doesn’t always have the best reputation, but this was genuinely one of the best meals we’ve had at a wedding. As someone with multiple serious food allergies, I was especially grateful for the care the team took to ensure I could eat safely on my wedding day. They took my allergies seriously from the very beginning, which allowed me to relax and fully enjoy the evening. Our coordinator, Tram-Anh, was exceptional. Her calm, organized presence throughout the planning process and on our wedding day helped us feel completely at ease. She was flexible, responsive, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life rather than fitting us into a rigid package or timeline. We dropped off our decorations beforehand, and she thoughtfully set everything up exactly as we had envisioned, somehow making it even better than we imagined. The bartenders and service staff were equally fantastic. They kept everything running smoothly behind the scenes while making sure my husband and I always had what we needed. We were concerned about long bar lines, but adding the Veranda Cooler bar worked perfectly. I don’t think I saw a single guest waiting for a drink all night. If you’re considering The Courses at Forest Park, just book it. You won’t regret it.

I'm Alyssa, and I'm so glad you found your way here. My love for the wedding industry began in 2021 when I had the privilege of planning my own wedding. From that experience, I discovered my passion for all the details—big and small—that make a wedding day truly special. Whether it's helping you choose the perfect venue, picking the best caterer, or working with a florist to bring your vision to life, I’m here for it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I first started to plan our wedding I was not sure I needed a wedding coordinator but boy was I wrong! Having Lyss for our big day was a game changer. She handled so much- from helping keeping every timeline on track, to setting up decor, to steaming dresses and providing Bobby pins to bridesmaids, my niece ripped her dress and she pulls out a sewing kit and helps fix it, she even saved me with deodorant at one point throughout the day. Another thing I loved is that she took pictures behind the scenes so the next morning when I woke up I had pictures to look back on instead of waiting weeks for my photographers photos. She helped my family with clean up at the end of the night too. She never missed a beat and made it where myself and my family members weren’t running around completing tasks and could actually enjoy the day. She is professional, communicative, kind, and someone you can trust on one of the biggest days of your life. Would recommend her a million times!

From the moment we booked C5 Events & Décor, their communication was fast, clear, and great. Chaneyll and her team were incredibly knowledgeable and their work was simply beautiful. When we fell behind on our planning, Chaneyll stepped in and got us right back on track, setting up a client portal that helped us stay organized throughout the process. On our wedding day, Chaneyll's professionalism and attention to detail ensured everything ran smoothly, and we were able to truly enjoy ourselves without any stress. C5 Events & Décor is truly top-tier, and worth every penny. I would highly recommend them to any couple planning their dream wedding.

My name is Rebecca, a St. Louis native with a deep love for this city and the stories that unfold here. My husband and I have been together for over 16 years, and I’m still completely in love with him, so I truly understand the kind of love you’re celebrating. It’s what drives me to create images that feel genuine and lasting, giving you something meaningful to hold onto for years to come.

Rebecca and her assistant, Anna were absolutely amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better pair of photographers for our special day. They were out there on the dance floor enjoying the night and making sure every detail was captured. They have become people we can call our friends throughout our engagement, birth of our baby and our wedding day. Thanks so much!

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 truly do not think our wedding would’ve been half as amazing as it was without Eili! She started with us once we picked out our venue and really made sure our decisions were fit within our vision and our budget every step of the way. From design, to the timeline, to connecting with our vendors before, all the way up until the end of the night she was truly a lifesaver. We didn’t use a coordinator for my sister’s wedding and a lot of things fell on to my family. My Mom was the first one to notice how much help Eili was because not only did she take stress off of me, but a ton off my parents as well. She even stepped in and helped bartend our welcome party! 100/10
