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

Meagan from Something Blue was such a steady, thoughtful guide throughout our whole planning process. She kept us organized, stayed on top of every detail, and somehow made everything feel easy. On the wedding day she went above and beyond, from hemming a groomsman’s pants to helping decorate our ceremony cross at the very last minute—no hesitation, just done. Every meeting with her was professional, comfortable, and genuinely helpful. Our day ran smoothly because of her, and we truly felt taken care of. We’re so glad we chose her. Highly recommend.

There is no better DJ than DJ Martin. He had us fill out a questionnaire that helped guide us through planning our entire wedding day and ultimately the absolute BEST PARTY ever! I have never seen so many people on a dance floor as I did at our wedding reception. Instead of a head table, we put the DJ façade on the stage where the head tables would have been so that he was the center of attention. Ultimately, it was the best decision. He was able to be close to the dance floor, feel the crowd, and have a good time. He also listened to us on our music choices and guided us on things we were unsure of. We highly recommend Ultimate Beats Entertainment.

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!

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 Myers Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, their communication style was comfortable, efficient, and showed a true understanding of what we were looking for. The quality of their work was simply excellent - the photos they captured were stunning, unique, and thoughtful in their approach. Rachel was so in tune with me (the bride) and the whole vibe of our wedding. Even though she had used our venue with various other couples before, she still had captivating and original ideas that resulted in truly beautiful and memorable shots. Rachel and Charlie are incredible people with a fun and creative approach. They collaborate well and will do whatever you ask, while also suggesting their own exciting thoughts. They played with the moment to find that interesting but perfect shot that gave our photos a beautiful and unique perspective. They are genuinely a kind, caring, and happy couple that love what they do, and it really shows in the incredible service and final product they deliver.

Rachel played PERFECT music despite our lack of clear directions. We hired her as both DJ and day of coordinator and she knocked it out of the park on both fronts, making our tables and room beautiful, coordinating with all of our vendors, helping us to figure out logistics we hadn't even considered, and figuring out a last-minute makeup artist when ours fell through. The music was great and she hosted a fantastic party. We were actually able to enjoy our own wedding, thanks to Rachel! Hire her, you won't regret it.

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.

Hi, I'm Ally. I thrive on crafting beautiful events and honing in on the details that make each wedding truly one-of-a-kind. My goa is to ensure that every couple's special day is infused with their unique story, making their dreams come to life in the most magical way possible. My adventure in wedding planning began in 2022 and I've since had the priviledge of collaborating with many couples, transforming their visions into stunning realities.

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. From the moment we booked the venue, Ally guided us through ceremony timing and logistics, putting our minds completely at ease knowing she would be running the show. Our rehearsal was efficient and perfectly organized thanks to her direction, and on our wedding day, she went above and beyond. As the venue coordinator, she was able to access the space early, set up all of our decor beautifully, and ensured that everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and we owe that to Ally’s calm, collected presence and attention to detail. She truly has an amazing eye for design and what looks best in a space. Whether you need help with coordination, planning, or decorating, you’ll be in great hands with Ally!

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.

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. If you need a reliable photographer, Chelsey is your gal!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Cristal as the hair & makeup artist for my recent wedding, and I cannot express how incredible she was throughout the entire process. From the very beginning, Cristal went above and beyond in her preparation, ensuring that every detail was meticulously planned. She took the time to understand exactly what each of us wanted, listening carefully to our visions and bringing them to life flawlessly. On the day of the wedding, Cristal's dedication truly shone through. She was not only professional and skilled but also incredibly warm and personable, making everyone feel at ease. She even provided thoughtful touch-up kits, which were a lifesaver and kept us looking flawless throughout the event. Cristal quickly became more than just our makeup artist; she became a friend. Her passion and talent are evident in every stroke of her brush, and I would highly recommend her to anyone considering a makeup artist for their special day.
