DJ Shark Attack was an absolute hit at our wedding! Their communication was clear, responsive, and professional from the very start. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - they kept the dance floor packed all night with their high energy and seamless execution. When we had to adjust the timeline, they handled it smoothly without a hitch. We were so thrilled with their performance that they were the first call my parents made when planning their 50th anniversary party next year. I would book DJ Shark Attack again in a heartbeat.

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.

Cannot recommend the Franklin enough for a wedding! We had the ceremony and reception there for a summer wedding in July 2024. The venue was renovated beautifully but kept historic (there are many photo ops). The team was professional and extremely helpful in every way. Our guests raved about the atmosphere, food, and drinks. The room was flipped quickly during cocktail hour. The food was served efficiently, and they accommodated all guest allergies. They kept us on schedule and really made the day go smoothly. We were able to take advantage of all their resources. You’re in good hands with the Franklin and their team!

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
Matt provided his services for my husband and I this past weekend for our wedding, and we have nothing but good things to say! When I started wedding planning, the two most important vendors to me was our DJ and photographer. After lots of research and talks with other DJs, I found Matt and I’m so glad I did. He listened to what we wanted and was super professional during the whole process. During our reception, I told him multiple times that I needed him to play something I didn’t know so I could get a break. We highly recommend Matt Baer Media for DJ services and even the Photo Booth. It was a huge hit at our wedding.

Forest Park Golf Course was an easy choice for us. Everything is so organized and the package details are clear. You get the whole package here including ceremony space, reception, food, bar, and so much more! They also provide a “preferred vendors” list which helped tremendously to narrow down our other vendor choices. Maddie was our venue coordinator and she was very easy to work with! She was always quick to respond and keep us in the loop on things. Another great part of this venue is that they will set up your decorations for you, you just need to drop off your stuff the week before and they will take care of the rest!

I launched Allyssa Elaine Events in 2016 and have been spending the last few years in awe of what I get to call my job. I have planned, coordinated, and designed over 250 weddings since our beginning and we are already booking fast for next year! Here at AEE, we are dedicated to giving quality service, building relationships with clients, and providing the best experience at every event. 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!

Allyssa is the best. She really has it all together. We used her as our day of coordinator and when we had our meeting with her 30 days out from our wedding I swear all the stress flew off our shoulders. She handled all the correspondance with our vendors and kept a running to do list for us so we knew what had to be done, which helped us stay on top of everything. She showed up to our final walk through and helped answer all the questions, she had detailed documents and folders on Google that we collaborated on, she was timely and communicative and overall wonderful. Any time I had a little panic moment, I would text Allyssa and she would respond immediately, helping relieve any anxiety I had. She helped organize everything at the rehearsal, and day of, she was fantastic. Our parents and bridal party were even blown away by her ability to keep everyone in line and stick to the schedule perfectly. She thought of every detail and made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING day of, she told me what to do, where to be, and what was happening. She went above and beyond and helped put flowers in my hair before the photos. By the time the evening was over, she had our cars packed and moved to the proper spots, all of our stuff organized for us, and my purse, phone and keys were in my hand. I was in awe!!! We didn’t have to worry about where any of our stuff was and there was literally NOTHING missing. She even mailed our marriage license back to the office after the wedding. She truly did. not. miss. Allyssa is kind, organized, punctual and truly incredible. Our wedding day went perfectly and I don’t think it would have been as great without Allyssa. Booking her was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. We would recommend her to anyone!!!

  • Serves Shipman, IL

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.

I'm so happy I could cry. My wedding photos are so dreamy and magical. Rachel and her husband really emphasized finding the perfect lighting and every single picture is stunning. They're such wonderful people, and I felt very comfortable around them. Rachel is laser-focused and made sure we got every shot, while checking in to make sure we weren't feeling overwhelmed and giving necessary posing instructions. She even helped zip up my dress and pin in my veil. My favorite part was when we were on golf-carts to the next location and she shouted "STOP! The lighting is beautiful," and she was right - we got some of the best pics from that spot. We had 2 zoom calls with them beforehand and Rachel helped us with our timeline, which was so helpful. She's very responsive with emails and her estimation of 5 weeks to get photos after the wedding was exactly correct. We didn't lose our deposit with them when we pushed our original wedding due to the pandemic. Even our engagement photos turned out amazing. I cannot recommend them enough.

I cannot say enough good things about our DJ (Jon)! My now husband and I had some concerns regarding some of our family members and we discussed them with Jon prior to the event. Jon respected our wishes and was so professional about everything. He handled things extremely well. We had an issue with the pastor who married us. We had asked the pastor a week or two prior to the wedding if he would at least come by the reception hall to say the blessing at the wedding (He said yes at the time.), and he no-showed. Jon had announced that the pastor would come up and say the blessing, and of course there was radio silence because we quickly realized the pastor wasn’t there. Once we told Jon that he didn’t show up, Jon said a quick blessing and our meal began. We started the dances, and we could not keep people off of the dance floor. Jon kept pace with the crowd so well and everyone had such a blast! What my husband and I didn’t realize at the time was that my husband’s Uncle Joe had a surprise song picked out for us as well as green Irish polo shirts made for all of us (inside joke) and we essentially had a bit of a flash mob at our wedding. Kudos to Jon for going along with his idea! That was so funny and it made our wedding so special. Overall, it was a wonderful evening and I truly hope every couple is blessed with a DJ like Jon. I don’t think he could have done anything better honestly. You will not find a better DJ in the St. Louis / Metro East area! Thanks Jon!

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 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.

We hired Rachel as our Day of Coordinator for our September 2024 wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her. One of the first recommendations I make to someone getting married is to hire a coordinator for their wedding - and this is entirely because of our experience with Rachel. She prompted us on the right questions for things we never would have considered, and was a huge help in guiding us on the timeline of events. She executed everything with a cool confidence, and we received so many compliments on how fun the wedding was and how smooth the event went. Rachel made herself reachable to our close friends and family, and made sure that we got to enjoy our day and not be tied up in all the logistics. She was flexible, prompt, and wasn’t afraid to take charge of the situation. Highly recommend for your needs - big or small!

Chloe was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Her communication was clear, fun and easy-going, making the entire process really enjoyable. The quality of her work is simply gorgeous - her compositions and use of color are stunning, and she provided great pose suggestions that resulted in beautiful, natural-looking photos.

I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was with Cristal as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding. From the very first interaction, she was amazing at communicating and made me feel completely at ease. I gave her free rein on my makeup, with only the guidelines of creating a romantic look that would highlight my features, and she absolutely nailed it. I shared a few pictures of my dress with her, and she not only helped me decide on the perfect hairstyle but also executed it flawlessly. The entire process felt so natural and enjoyable, almost as if we had been friends for a long time. On my wedding day, she truly felt like part of the family, and her presence added so much warmth and joy to the occasion. If you're looking for a talented, kind, and genuinely caring hair and makeup artist, look no further than Cristal. She has a remarkable gift for making you look and feel your absolute best on your special day. Thank you, Cristal, for making my wedding day so magical and memorable!
