As a coordinator, I start working with you as soon as we sign a contract. I send you helpful tips, organization sheets, etc. I review all the details you’ve put into your day and make sure nothing is missed!

Catherine was SO wonderful to work with. She helped me put all the moving pieces together and honestly worked so well with our photographer and everyone involved in our wedding. She really helped the day stay on track and made sure everything moved along the way it was suppose to. If you’re hesitant on needing someone the day of to help you coordinate, just do it. It’s one less thing on your mind! I would ABSOLUTELY recommend!

Let's just say that Kara is exactly the type of person you want by your side on wedding day (and throughout the wedding planning process)! My new husband and I got to know Kara & Daniel very well, as we were a Covid couple and had to postpone our wedding for a year. From the moment I met with Kara through our wedding album, I can say with confidence: she is extremely organized, superb with communication, an incredibly talented photographer & goes above and beyond as your right-hand-woman on wedding day. Definitely do your engagement session with Kara & Daniel - our engagement photos were stunning and perfect to use for save the dates, invites, & wedding day decor. When Covid hit, Kara was super supportive and empathetic. She allowed me to lean on her to talk through the rescheduling process. When we picked back up a year later, it was like we hadn't missed a beat. She is SO helpful in creating a day-of timeline and communicating with vendors. She also diligently kept an eye on the weather & covid protocols and developed plans B, C, D, etc. for anything that popped up. Kara was always there to reassure us that everything would be amazing! And, it most certainly was. On the wedding day, everything was flawless. My new husband and I literally floated through the day. We sat back and watched the events unfold knowing that Kara was there to capture all the special moments. The bulk of photos we took before the wedding/reception and we finished earlier than expected because Kara & Daniel had everything ready to go (as well as umbrellas & several weather apps to be sure we wouldn't get stuck in a summer storm). During the wedding is where Kara really exceeded any expectation I had for a photographer - she just stepped in and helped me in every way. She held my train, changed my shoes, worked with our planner & DJ, played interference when I was swarmed by guests, and calmed my nerves when I got anxious. She is so enthusiastic and kind, but on wedding day she got down to business! That's exactly what you want when you're corralling family & rowdy guests. Oh, and the photos? They are jaw-droppingly gorgeous! We look like celebrities and the quality of her photographs are extraordinary. Thank you Kara & Daniel for everything over these past two years - we'll be forever grateful we had you by our side through the whole process & there to ensure we had (& will remember!) our best day ever!

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

Words can't even begin to express our complete adoration, immense gratitude, and delight in working with Cassidy! We had originally booked her for our larger wedding that was postponed due to COVID-19 and she made the rebooking process so easy and reassured us during a very stressful time. We ended up moving forward with an intimate wedding on our original date and she was the first person we reached out to. She was an absolute dream and source of endless enthusiasm and support as we reimagined and redesigned our day. She totally got our vision and seamlessly integrated into the day to capture everything as it unfolded. She beautifully captured the emotion and joy between us and our families. We love that the photos have that "real life, but better" look that will help us preserve the feeling of the day rather than the stuffy look of traditional wedding photos. Our families can't stop raving about how gorgeous the images are. Cassidy, we love you and are so so appreciative to have had you work your magic! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime.

With over 20 years experience creating incredible and unforgettable moments, Brock Elmore and Let’s Celebrate DJs + Videography are the people to see for professional event DJ services in the Edwardsville and St. Louis area. From the very start of the planning process until the last guest leaves the dance floor, we continuously strive to exceed your every need.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Let's Celebrate DjsVideography to DJ our wedding was one of the best decisions my husband and I made. DJ Brock far exceeded our expectations. Not only was he an incredible DJ, but an MC as well. I had very specific wants and on top of that list, Brock was tasked with dealing with a multilingual wedding. He led the ceremony perfectly, from smoothly transitioning the songs to announcing family members but still keeping the romantic ceremonial environment. We then moved onto cocktail hour, which again was a smooth and great transition with no hiccups. Once the reception came, as soon as he started the music, the dance floor never cleared. We were dancing the entire night away, we loved it, and the guests really enjoyed themselves. Brock did an exceptional job at transitioning between English, Russian, Hebrew, and music in other languages. He did not understand a single word out of the songs that were not in English but managed to do a brilliant job at mixing all the different types of music together to make it sound very cohesive. My family was very happy with the way Brock had the night going and my guests couldn't stop talking about how much fun they had, how much they enjoyed the music, and ultimately did not want to stop dancing to leave. My husband and I 1000% recommend Brock and Let's Celebrate DjsVideography for anyone looking to hire for their wedding day.

Landolfi Quartet

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Alton, IL

From a Pope to a Prince, Landolfi Quartet has truly played for the best! Landolfi is the most sought after string ensemble in the St. Louis area providing music for wedding ceremonies and receptions, dinners, parties, corporate events, TEDx, a postage stamp unveiling, and even visiting dignitaries.

If you are thinking of booking a string quartet, book Landolfi Quartet. We booked them for 4 hours for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Their communication leading up to the wedding was great and I had no concerns going into the wedding. We chose specific music for the ceremony, the general category of modern music covers for the cocktail hour, and the general category of classical music for dinner. They absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful they were, and they especially loved the modern music covers. If you want something unique, I highly recommend the modern music covers. Multiple guests took videos of the group playing and days after the wedding we are still hearing about how everyone loved this quartet. Everyone thought the quartet was well worth the money and personally I thought they were very affordable for professional musicians. Having Landolfi Quartet was one of my favorite parts of our wedding and I would recommend them without reservations to any future bride.

I'm Rachel! Here, as an artist, to help the couples who want a unique and special-to-them wedding. I'll be the best fit for couples that want to play around with the limits of tradition and think outside of the box. I came to STL to get my MFA and fell into Wedding DJing on accident. 6 years later I'm in love with love, planning, and weddings. I come from the vendor side of things, so I truly know what vendors have to offer and who can do it best. I'm also largely involved with the art scene in STL and that means I can connect you with vendors that are also on the more avant-garde side of the wedding biz.

Honestly, working with Rachel Lebo is a joy. She makes all decisions feel easy and stress-free. Her attention to detail, reliable execution and attentiveness is so professional. I always felt like I was in good hands. She also made it so fun with her sense of play. It added another level to the experience.

Hey hey! I'm Becca and I’m probably the most camera-shy person you’ll ever meet! I admit, becoming a photographer is an interesting choice for someone who isn’t good in front of the camera, but I believe this weakness is the exact reason why I’ve become a candid and authentic photographer. Since I would hate for anyone I work with to feel uncomfortable, I’ve perfected the art of making you forget all about the camera. You’ll get to know me on a personal level and working with me won’t feel like a business transaction – but rather like hanging out with a friend who happens to be really good at capturing you just the way you are.

Rebecca was INCREDIBLE! My husband and I get very uncomfortable in front of the camera. Cue Rebecca, photography angel. We booked engagement and wedding photos with her and we are ridiculously happy with all of our photos; they are natural yet stunning AND you can tell we are having fun. Rebecca also was 100% down for anything when our wedding plans changed last minute and rolled with the punches all day on our wedding day (late flowers, late bridesmaids, you name it!) which helped keep me calm and stress free the whole day. Hire her, hire her right this second!!

I’ve always been a romantic, a dreamer. From watching my favorite movie of all time (Titanic) to daydreaming about meeting Prince Charming in a trip across the sea (even if I have to travel back to the 18th century to meet a ruggedly handsome Scotsman *cough cough*- big Outlander fan here.). I’ve always been in love with love. Fortunately, I've been able to give all of my creative energy and love for the arts to my photography. I’ve been photographing people on one of the happiest days of their lives for nearly a decade now and I still can’t get enough.

Emily was AMAZING! I couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her, she made our day such a breeze. Planning a wedding is so stressful, but our pictures were something I did not have to worry about. Her prep work reassured me she knew exactly what I wanted. Our pictures turned out incredible! Not only did she capture our day exactly how I imagined, having her by our side made me at ease. She kept to the timeline, she was efficient, and not to mention a blast to work with! I can’t say enough good things about Emily. If you are anything like me and worry yourself sick, book Emily because you will not worry one bit! She is such a breath of fresh air in the midst of a busy, chaotic day. And after it’s all said and done, you will end up with pictures of your wedding day that make you smile every time you glance at them! Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Kenessey Studios

Kenessey Studios is a mid to high end wedding & portrait photographer based in St. Louis MO. We have been working in the St. Louis area for several years now and really enjoy the people and venues in the area. Our style of shooting is a mixture of candid and posed shots that I think covers the bases for a large percentage of clients.

Shawn took our wedding photos last summer and he did a beautiful job. We felt so lucky to have a photographer who not only prepared us for what to expect but also put us at ease throughout the day. He gave us a ton of creative ideas for photos and was so patient with everyone. He made both our families feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is saying a lot! But what we really loved was how amazing the photos turned out. We were completely wowed at the quality of the photos - he caught everything we wanted and so much more. They are a beautiful reminder of love we felt on our wedding day.

We will be here for you every step of the way during planning and we also coordinate your big day so everything runs smoothly without any hitches. Well maybe only one “hitch”😉

I honestly don't know where to begin from the beginning Heather was amazing. She was extremely helpful when touring and her prices are fair and the venue is gorgeous. Heather and Hope had amazing communication throughout the process we had it booked 2 years in advance and I always felt like I knew what was going on. At our kick off meeting to discuss vision and florals Heather saw my vision and ran with it. She did a better job than I could have even imagined. It looked straight out of a style shoot the perfect coastal garden vibes that fit the theme so well. We both have creative mindsets and I had 100% trust in her the entire process. The day of Heather was there to manage and issues and just make sure everything went smoothly and myself including my guests can say it was the best wedding we've ever been too. I still have guests a month later complimenting me on my day and how it was the most fun wedding they've attended. The flow of the venue leaves for so many cool memories and the decor is extremely customizable. 10000/10 recommend this venue!

Hi everyone! I'm a portrait and wedding photographer based in St. Louis, MO and Nashville, TN, but I love shooting destinations too. I love romance and capturing authentic love stories in photographs that you will cherish the rest of your life. My style is elegant, classic, and candid. I love capturing those emotional, happy, and joyful moments that unfold when no one is looking. Since 2014, I have photographed over 200+ beautiful weddings, and I can't wait to photograph yours.

My videography company has worked with Zoe several times over the past few years and each and every time is an absolute pleasure. Obviously, Zoe's work speaks for itself; it's beautiful and touching and some of the best we've seen. But the real treat that you may not anticipate is the working relationship with Zoe. She's extremely detailed but laid-back and accomodating. We've never had any scheduling issues when working together and if we did, I have no doubt that it would be resolved immediately. She's always been very cordial to our team, as well as other vendors, and will provide you an extremely smooth wedding day with no stress and plenty of smiles. We can't wait to work with her again and I know you'll have the same feeling if you make the wonderful choice to trust her with your most important memories. You will not regret it!

Congratulations on your engagement! Planning a wedding can be very stressful but we strive to make this the easy part. We like to call ourselves "licensed wedding morning coordinators". We travel to your location and can handle weddings of any size. Sit back, relax and let us take care of all the details. Our style can be described as timeless and classic. We feel the way you look on your wedding day should be just as important as saying "yes to the dress".

I don’t think I could say enough wonderful things about Kelly and Hannah. From the start, Kelly was very quick to communicate back with any questions I had about her services. I used Kelly and Hannah for o site hair and makeup for myself, 2 mothers, and 3 bridesmaids. They were on time, kept account of their schedule, and made changes/additions as requested. The bridesmaids LOVED their looks, and they’re a picky crew :) as did the moms! I love that Kelly’s style enhances your natural beauty while also making you look fabulous. I wanted to look like myself, but the best version of myself. She came through! Also she does spray tans and it gives THE best glow. 11/10 would recommended Kamco to anyone.

Piazza Messina 

5.0

Cottleville, MO
  • Venue
  • Up to 350 guests
  • All-inclusive
  • Indoor & outdoor

Piazza Messina is the perfect marriage of rustic & modern Tuscan décor in a beautiful natural setting. Piazza Messina includes 8,000 + square feet of private event space situated on 14 ½ acres of agricultural land. Featuring a bistro, ballroom & both an indoor & outdoor bar, our venue overlooks a beautiful four-acre lake. One of the most unique features of Piazza Messina is the seamless transition from an indoor to outdoor setting, including a wraparound covered portico with a view of the lake. Outdoor amenities includes accent lighting, fountain, pergolas, firepits, beautiful natural landscaping & our own "Luccheti d’Amore." Piazza Messina offers a “destination” type setting without having to travel hours away. Lakeside Wedding sites are offered on the property, as well as a bridal cottage to get ready for the big day on-site. Situated in quaint, historic downtown Cottleville, our property is conveniently located on State Highway N and very secluded, surrounded by groves of trees.

I can't say enough great things about The Piazza Messina—it was absolutely perfect. From start to finish, everything went smoothly, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Planning our wedding was a breeze, thanks to Avery and Mark. They were so responsive and made sure we felt comfortable every step of the way. We never felt overwhelmed or stressed, which is a huge win, especially while in the middle of our last year of college. The staff were incredible—quick, efficient, and super friendly. They took care of everything so seamlessly that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Jeff met my parents when they visited the venue for a meeting and they mentioned how friendly and easy he was to talk to. They knew what we needed before we even asked. Since the venue is owned by Russo’s Catering, the food was fantastic. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how delicious everything was. The bar service was equally impressive; drinks were served smoothly and they even included our signature drinks. The ceremony was stunning because the venue itself was gorgeous, and we even had the delightful surprise of deer peeking through in the background. It added a magical touch that our guests are still talking about. Even though we weren’t there to see it, we heard the cleanup was done in record time. The staff’s efficiency was clear, and it was great knowing they handled everything so well. I even got to talk to Justin who was overseeing our event and was ensuring every detail was how we wanted it. Overall, The Piazza Messina made our wedding day truly unforgettable. If you’re looking for a venue with fantastic service, amazing food, and a beautiful setting, this is the place. We’re so grateful for everything they did and couldn’t recommend them more!

The Venue at Maison du Lac opened in 2018 on a former llama farm. The historic Stone House that hosts the wedding suite was built in the 1840s, and gives rustic charm and elegant glamour for every couple to start their day in style. The additional lake cottage gives both of the engaged partners a space to prepare for the day with their wedding party. In The Venue, we can seat up to 300 in a beautiful, modern space with centerpiece options available. There are multiple ceremony locations, including The Overlook beside the lake and the chandelier-lit barn.

From the moment we first reached out to The Venue At Maison Du Lac, Jessi was incredibly responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions. The venue communication helped make our planning process easy and stress free. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful, with a lovely dock on the lake, bride/groom suites and amazing ceremony and reception spaces. Jessi worked seamlessly with our vendors to ensure our day ran smoothly, and we were thrilled with how everything turned out. This venue truly helped bring our wedding vision to life and we couldn’t be happier with the service we received there. The Venue At Maison Du Lac is truly a special place, and we highly recommend it to any couple looking for an idyllic wedding location.
