Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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
From the first moment we reached out while searching for a DJ, Matt stuck out because he responded quickly and was personably professional. He was understanding and patient with us due to an unforeseen circumstance on our end, but was there when we were ready to book. Then as we got closer, we got to sit down with him to talk through the day and he helped guide the conversation to ensure we didn't miss or forget anything. The portal we used to line out the day was user-friendly and he utilized the information exactly as we intended. Finally, it was wedding day and if it wasn't for Matt, our day would not have gone as smoothly as it did. During the in-person meeting, we talked through the timeline, and on the day of, Matt ensured every mark was hit so time didn't get away from us. Throughout the evening he would check in with me and/or my fiance/husband to make sure everything was going as we hoped. He went above and beyond for us and made our evening stress-free and fun.

The Rebel Wedding Planner

  • Serves Carlinville, IL

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
From the very beginning, Victoria took the time to get to know us as a couple, what mattered most to us, and what we love about each other. She was committed to understanding the nuances of our vision for our big day and bringing it all to life. From selection of vendors to coordination of every detail, big and small, we felt calm, relaxed, and confident throughout the process under Victoria's guidance -- the whole experience was truly a joy. Our wedding day was as beautiful, special, and quite frankly perfect as we could have possibly imagined, and we owe much of that to Victoria. Victoria's job isn’t easy but she sure does make it look effortless. We owe every gratitude to Victoria for helping us to start our marriage together surrounded by nothing but joy.

Rachel killed it as the DJ for our reception. When we met with her before the event, she asked so many great questions and helped us think through things we hadn't even considered (it was really helpful!). She did an amazing job of blending the different vibes of the night seamlessly, while guiding us and our guests along the way and keeping everyone engaged. On the dancefloor, every song was a banger. I don't think I stopped dancing for 2 hours straight. We got so many compliments from our guests about her and the song selections. Would highly recommend her to anyone!

Working in the wedding industry for over 10 years as a bridal makeup artist I specialize in Natural & Soft Glam wedding makeup thus being preferred by brides looking for classy, timeless and natural looks and being awarded many different certificates and accolades throughout the years.

I cannot express enough how incredible my experience was with Cristal as my hair and makeup artist for my wedding.

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.

Lexi Harrington Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style

  • Serves Carlinville, IL

It's true what they say — when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed storytelling photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its authentic beauty. Let's hike a trail, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's capture your love for everything that it is. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

My wedding was a little atypical, we planned the entire thing in less than two months, had a crowd of 30 family members present, and had EVERYONE take an hour car trip into the National Park for our ceremony. The photographer who would capture all our wonderful memories was by far the most important vendor to me, so Lexi was the first person I booked! And thank goodness I did because I couldn’t have picked a more wonderful person to handle the uniqueness of our celebration than her. Lexi dealt with one date change, two location changes, and much more as my husband and I went through the decision making process in our short timeline. Lexi handled it all flawlessly, and showed up ready to help make our day special even in the middle of her own pregnancy! She traveled from states away, and made the Indiana Jones-esque drive into the mountains, to go above and beyond to shoot for us. Not only that but she got our preview out in less than 24 hours from the close of our reception, lightning speed! She was so kind and helped us feel comfortable and natural for two people who have never taken professional photos before. I would recommend anyone to Lexi for their wedding/elopement!

Luna + Co Events

  • Planner
  • Offers 4 services
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Carlinville, IL

Luna + Co is a St. Louis-based full-service event design and wedding coordination company dedicated to creating unforgettable moments for you! We combine creativity and organization with a collaborative approach to ensure your event is one of a kind. We specialize in weddings, but love to plan any and all of life's celebrations.

Hiring Luna Co was one of the best decisions we made in planning a 250-guest wedding in only six months! We knew we wanted to do a lot of the planning ourselves and were initially reluctant to use a professional planner/coordinator, but with Luna Co's partial planning option, we got the best of all worlds and an incredible value for the many services that Alexandra, Jazmin, and Sophia provided. The Luna Co team kept track of our vendor contracts, joined calls with vendors whenever we wanted them to, and helped keep us organized with regular check-ins throughout the planning process. They offered recommendations, advised us on logistical questions, and focused on what was most important to us. For example, we had 20 kids at our reception, and the Luna Co team helped us come up with a "kid zone" and coordinated with our caterer to make sure kids' meals were ready a little before the adults ate dinner. On our wedding weekend, Alexandra joined for our ceremony rehearsal, and I don't know what we would have done without her. We had an interfaith (Catholic Jewish) ceremony, so it was a little outside everyone's comfort zone and there was no real template to follow, but Alexandra took charge in the most kind yet firm way and made sure everyone knew what was happening and all of the items we needed were organized and stored safely. It honestly relieved so much stress that day knowing she would be on hand for the ceremony itself. And then on the day of the wedding, we were truly able to just be present and enjoy the moment with our loved ones, because the Luna Co team handled everything behind-the scenes. That included an impressive turnaround reception setup (since we couldn't access our reception venue until later in the day), troubleshooting various misplaced decor materials, and gracefully finding spots for two surprise (but wanted!) guests. Throughout the process, the team was prompt, responsive, and professional. They were easy and fun to work with. We know our large guest count and unique venue made our wedding logistically challenging, but the Luna Co team was always encouraging, positive, and found ways to make things possible. We would highly recommend Luna Co to anyone and everyone!

I have been a wedding photographer since 2011 & love being a part of my couple's lives. I enjoy getting to know clients on a personal level so I can really document who they are as people & as a couple. I am one of those people who rarely meets a stranger & love becoming friends with new people wherever I go. On a personal level, I have the cutest mini Aussie who is my pride & joy! I am close with my family & have some of the most wonderful friends.

We hired Studio 637 Photography to do our wedding photos in an outdoor setting. They came out beautifully! We are both pretty uncomfortable with being photographed let alone having an audience while we do it but Brooke was just wonderful.

Our wedding at the Forest Park Golf Club was absolutely outstanding! Lexi was stellar helping us when we first visited, learning about the different package options, and finding out that we could make the dream of having our wedding reception in Forest Park come true! Maddie did more than we could ever have hoped for as our coordinator, helping us with decorating ideas, arranging all of the details, and getting everything set up perfectly on the day of the reception. We made some additions the week of the wedding that the club accommodated seamlessly. They made everything as easy as it could have been. Our photographer was in an accident on the wedding day (oh no!) which pushed back the timing of the wedding. We arrived later than planned at the reception. Maddie was waiting outside with golf carts so we could immediately dash away for pictures at the Grand Basin- after she made a quick dash into the club to bring out some emergency finger nail tools! And the pictures around the Grand Basin: sunset reflecting on the water behind us… so beautiful! And the food! The drinks! The service! Everything was absolutely outstanding. Me and my bride never got our own drinks- the servers were frequently asking us for anything we would like. It truly exceeded the dreams we had of what our Forest Park wedding reception could be!

You deserve a day filled with laughter and joy, surrounded by the people you love most and vendors who feel more like friends. When you hire Tony Mellinger, not only do you get a photographer who’s committed to capturing your day in a way that’s uniquely you. You also get a friend.

Tony was all in from the get go when we pitched the idea of a Colorado adventure wedding to take the Jeep up a mountain to get married. We had complete trust in Tony to choose and surprise us on the final location the day of - and Tony did not disappoint! Tony discovered a mountain top view that only locals really knew about. To say he went above and beyond is an understatement. The day of the wedding he both of us feel so at home and comfortable with everything that was going on that it all just felt easy, natural and effortless. Tony single handedly provided us with an unforgettable day, an amazing wedding video, quality photos that were ready in a timely manner.

  • Serves Carlinville, IL

My name is Courtney and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in the midwest of the United States and available for work worldwide. My inspirations and approach to my work are largely influenced by my studies in filmmaking, my deep appreciation for the nostalgic, my curiosity for nuance, and my strong personal relationship with love and friendship.

Awarded Best of Zola
I've hired Courtney twice now for documenting my family and both times she was able to capture the essence of our family in such a calm, playful, beautiful way. She somehow brings out our most authentic selves and I'm forever grateful to have these photos of my kids growing up with me in the photos too! She captures the tiny ways I connect with my kids that I'm already nostalgic for. Like the way my baby crawled up the stairs and I followed closely behind. As parents we must follow them up the stairs 10000x times so it's mundane but the fact that she even thought to get low to his perspective and photograph it means I forever have this beautiful photo of what being a mother looked like. And then the next time the kids were older and she was able to both maintain a calming energy AND work with their hyper energy. I love the way she sees the world. Can't wait to hire her again.

Hi there! Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! We are so excited for you and your partner. We are a bridal beauty team who welcomes ALL love. We have been glamming brides since 2016. We specialize in natural to soft glam bridal looks, but are always up for a full on glam look. Get in touch with us today so we can see what type of look would best fit you.

Ashley was truly amazing on my wedding day! She showed up on time, set up her station and got to work getting all of my bridesmaids ready for the wedding day. I am a hair and makeup artist myself so I chose to do my own hair and makeup, but I knew I needed my bridesmaids and mother to be in amazing hands and they were with Ashley! There is no better feeling as a bride than knowing you can 100% trust someone like Ashley to take care of your closest family members! She has the expertise, professionalism, and beautiful personality any bride would want to have join them on their wedding day! Ashley gave them all looks that they asked for and was very flexible with any special requests. She even came prepared with extra products for me when I had forgotten something of my own! She made sure everyone was happy with their final results before she left which made my sisters and mom feel assured that their look would last all night long. I cannot recommend Ashley enough as a hair and makeup artist!

LiUNA Event Center combines convenience, sophistication, and exceptional service to make your event truly special.

My husband and I could not have asked for a better experience in planning our wedding reception. I don't even know where to begin. Nancy made the booking process absolutely seamless. Molly, our coordinator, was kind, attentive, and professional. We barely had lift a finger! Our decorations were gorgeous, and we used all of the LiUNA's items. Aside from our seating chart, guest book, and a neon sign, we didn't have to bring in or set up a single thing. Molly made us feel like the only couple she was working with. The monthly free tastings allowed us to try many different possible menu items (and, hello, who doesn't love multiple free dinners?!). The food was delicious. Our DJ, who was included in our package, did an excellent job. My husband and I really just wanted to throw a big party for our favorite people, and that was exactly what we got! However, you can really customize your reception with the LiUNA. Had we wanted to bring in our own centerpieces, decorations, etc., we totally could have. Finally, we felt like the price per head that we paid was extremely reasonable. I wish we could relive our reception over and over again. Thank you, LiUna staff!

Laumeier Sculpture Park

  • Venue
  • Up to 500 guests
  • Raw space
  • Indoor & outdoor

Laumeier offers unique indoor and outdoor rental spaces set among the Park’s 105 acres and more than 70 large-scale sculptures. With a contemporary indoor art gallery, rustic outdoor space, historic stone buildings, and manicured flower beds, Laumeier has something for nearly every aesthetic. Photo opportunities are endless! Laumeier is perfect for ceremonies, receptions, showers, rehearsal dinners, post-wedding brunches, vow renewals, and more.

My wife and I cannot recommend Laumeier enough as an ideal wedding venue. We wanted somewhere that granted us the opportunity for an outdoor ceremony in a comfortable, beautiful and stimulating setting, while also having space for an indoor reception with outdoor elements (i.e. patio area, cocktail hour, fresh air mid-reception, etc.). Laumeier is exactly that. With our ceremony in the garden area in the front of the park, our guests enjoyed the shade provided by the trees and the open breeze to boot. They had a blast walking the grounds and admiring the sculptures before and after the ceremony. Being a special place for my now wife during her childhood, it was a true joy bringing things full circle at the park. Reception wise, the Aronson Center was absolutely ideal for our 105 person wedding. With the high ceilings and the huge windows, the space gives a feeling of airy openness, while remining an intimate space to share all of those precious ceremonial moments. The Aronson allowed plenty of personal space for each table as they enjoyed their dinner, drinks, desserts, and conversation, while leaving ample room for the dance floor that was utilized until the very end of the night. The cubby space in the entry way gave us the chance to decorate with many of our personal keepsakes that made the entire environment feel uniquely ours, and Laumeier granted us the autonomy to bring that vision to life as desired. And if the wonder and beauty of the park and Aronson were not enough, the people alone that helped make our wedding possible make this place worth your consideration. Sara Eaton and the folks who make up the rest of the events team are top notch humans. Sara was patient, kind, and clear throughout all communication in each phase of our wedding planning, and was onsite throughout their entire day of. Sara's presence is one that instills a sense of calm and confidence during a process that inevitably comes with nerves and some anxiousness. Marrying my wife would have been a joy anywhere, but I truly do not think the entirety of the day, nor the precious little moments that unfold during such a momentous occasion, would have been the same if not for Laumeier Sculpture Park, The Aronson Center, or Sara Eaton and the rest of the events team. We recommend this place to the absolute fullest extent. -Jimmie and Auri
