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.

We are always up for any task you hand us and go above and beyond, no questions asked. We love the people that trust us with these important moments in life!

I'm a very organized person and loved wedding planning so l wasn't sure if I needed a wedding coordinator. After attending a few weddings that didn’t have one, I realized we definitely needed someone to be the point person on our wedding day to help with the planning, timeline, logistics and everything else. Looking back, it was the absolute best decision and we’re SO glad we went with Allyssa! Our entire bridal party was so impressed with Allyssa and her team. She made any decisions that came up, solved numerous problems, kept everyone on track, and most importantly, made sure everyone could be present in the moment. My husband and I haven't stopped talking about how flawless our wedding day was and how Allyssa and her team played the biggest part in that! Allyssa has a ton of experience and it shows. She's kind, calm, thoughtful and professional. I can't recommend AEE enough!

St. Louis, MO
  • Planner
  • Offers 3 services
  • Starts at $3,200

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.

My wedding had several vendors and required a great deal of communication and execution.

Katie Forbis | St. Louis-based, available anywhere | In my 18+ years of experience, I have found that the absolute best photos happen when couples are fully present in the moment - enjoying each other, their guests, and themselves. For this reason, I take mostly hands-off approach on wedding days. I do my best not to interfere with the events of the day, or direct the events of the day - instead, I document them as they unfold.

The beauty of Katie's photos speak for themselves--they are emotional, artistic, and eye-catching. But what you can't see in the photos is what an amazing person Katie is. She's exactly who you want to have around you on your wedding day. She is calm, easygoing, and confident, and her photos strike the perfect balance between artistic vision and candid spontaneity. It was amazing how she captured our day while still allowing us to be fully present with each other and our guests. We just can't recommend Vein&Vessel enough. - Nick and Norah

Created by master artists, Paige Smith and Kayla Moelk, we are an agency, representing a collective of published, award-winning, professional freelance makeup artists and hair stylists. Our makeup artists are all proficient airbrush artists, and our hair stylists are all proficient in bridal updos and styling.

Overall, I had a great experience with my stylists. I had one do my hair and one do my makeup. The trial went great, they listened to my thoughts, and helped adjust as needed. I felt very confident after it! On the day of, they did amazing! My makeup artist even redid my eyeshadow before I looked at it because she wanted to make it better. Both my hair and makeup stylist took my notes from my trials. I’ve never felt more beautiful! They then went on to do part of my bridal party and they all looked amazing! My only complaint is that the third stylist who just did hair ran behind and went out of order without me knowing. This delayed my getting ready photos almost an hour, as she was behind finishing and then took quite a while to clean up. She was still cleaning up as I was getting into my dress. She also complained about there being no elevator, which I understand is annoying but there was an option to go around the building and not down the steps and the complaint is not something I needed addressed to me on my wedding day. However, she did do wonderful work and the hair styles all look great. I definitely would still recommend this vendor!!

Photography became personal to me through loss and the reminder that life is fleeting. After losing two of my best friends in high school, photos became more than images. They became memories I deeply treasure. I’ve been a self-made photographer since 2019, and in 2020 I spent a year in Atlanta second shooting luxury weddings, refining my craft and style. I later moved back home to Salem, IL to be close to family and now proudly serve the Southern Illinois and St. Louis areas, capturing meaningful moments with intention, joy, and heart.

Rachael is so great to work with! She is personable, fun, and laidback. She kept the session fun and captured amazing shots. Her work is incredible! I highly recommend her!
