Matt Baer Media

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,600
  • Serves Palmyra, IL

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!

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!

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!

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.

Ready to throw the best party of your life? At Complete, Our DJs know exactly how to read the room, hype the crowd, and create those "OMG this is the best night ever" memories. From glow sticks and epic lighting to ceremony guidance and smooth coordination with your vendors, we’ve got every detail covered so you and your guests don't miss a moment. If you're all about fun, zero stress, and a party that people will be talking about for years—throw your hands up, and let's make it happen!

Our DJ, Jake, through Complete was absolutely incredible! He made sure our ceremony, cocktail hour and speeches were able to be heard and then absolutely killed at keeping the party going once the reception started! We were so impressed by how he arranged our must play songs, and how he was able to sort through guest requests to only play the good ones. Post wedding, our DJ is something that all of our family and friends have mentioned being impressed by. We’d definitely recommend! The only drawback was not having access to the dashboard within 30 days of event. This was meant to keep your team organized, but made it tougher for us to keep songs in the spots they were meant to go. Luckily, Jake double checked pre ceremony on the day!

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.

Hi there! My name is Aaron and I am absolutely ecstatic that you found me! A lot of people ask what AGE means - well, my name is Aaron Griffing, and my goal is to elevate your wedding entertainment experience. In 2016, a friend asked if I would be her wedding DJ. I owned a few speakers and it sounded like fun so I said "Sure!" and that was beginning of something amazing. From the beginning, I made the decision that I would remain a one person operation. I am the founder, owner, and only wedding entertainer with AGE Entertainment.

When you meet your wedding vendors and your first thought is, “I could most definitely hang out with you,” that’s when you know you’re making a great call. Meeting with Aaron felt a lot like this. Not only did Aaron manage our wildly different music taste with ease, he also provided endless education on how to help the party feel like a party. I can personally attest that there was a point in the planning process where Aaron had to take the wheel, my brain was overcooked, and he handled our playlists and ideas perfectly. Aaron is the DJ to dance it out with you, to keep that odd relative at arms length, and always be there for you even after your day has ended. We are grateful to have continued to stay connected with Aaron via his professional accounts and would recommend his services any day.

HiMotive Entertainment & Photobooth did a great job keeping our wedding reception fun and upbeat. While their communication was a bit delayed leading up to the event, they were ultimately effective in executing on the day-of. The DJ kept the party going all night with a good song selection, though they did play 3 Taylor Swift songs in a row at the start, which we would have preferred more variety. The MC's ad-libs got a little overbearing at times, but overall they did a nice job sticking to the schedule and making important announcements. We'd recommend HiMotive to other couples looking for an energetic DJ.
