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!!!

Desiree has truly been a joy to work with, from the moment I got engaged until after wedding day, she held my hand every step of the way! 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. Through it all, she made my vision come alive on wedding day more than I could have ever imagined!

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 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!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
TL;DR: Hire Rachel. Seriously! If you’re wondering whether a day-of-coordinator is worth it, the answer is yes. 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.
