Hiring Kara as my photographer was one of the best choices I made about my wedding day. She is incredibly organized, focused, and efficient, and that was evident from our very first meeting. Leading up to our day I had plenty to stress over, but I never once had to worry about photography because I knew Kara was on top of it. She created a detailed wedding timeline that my day of coordinators utilized as well as all of my other vendors. She knew all the spots and poses to get my dream wedding photos, and even helped my videographer to capture amazing footage as well. She is an extremely talented photographer and I would absolutely recommend her for anyone's wedding.

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.

As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional vendors and Cassidy is on this list! She is professional, kind and easy to work with on behalf of the clients and through the details and changes that come with wedding planning. On the day she is prompt, classy, discrete and confident in directing wedding party members to get the best shots. I look forward to working with Cassidy again and will continue to recommend her to my clients.

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.

Rebecca Stephenson Photography

  • Photographer

  • Serves Columbia, IL

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.

We wanted someone that got what we were doing, and understood our personalities. We're laid back and fun-loving people but we still work hard and we hoped for great results from whoever we chose as a photographer. Rebecca was exactly that! Fun and easy-going, which led to GREAT candids, but also incredibly hard working, detail oriented, and diligent to get great photos despite very limited time. Because of this, we not only had those fantastic candid photos that were important to John and me, but we also had great formal shots with our families that were important to our parents and grandparents.

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

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.

Hollywood5 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Columbia, IL

Specializing in weddings and other celebrations, Hollywood5 is a high energy dance and rock St. Louis, MO. wedding band. This talented team is well versed in the art of getting people dancing. This band works hard to surpass expectations and create a memorable night for couples and their guests. From current pop to classic rock, this five-piece band is dedicated to providing you and your guests with a range of upbeat music styles. From your heartfelt first dance to keeping your crowd entertained, the band can play songs to suit every occasion.

Months since our wedding, we've been getting compliments on how much better Hollywood5 made our reception. They had our guests dancing all night long, they were interactive like only a band could be, and easy to work with. Dan was effective with communication throughout the planning process (with tons of great pointers for how the music should go) and a natural at M.C.-ing the evening, even with a complicated, multi-roomed table plan, ever-changing COVID guidelines, and last minute changes. It was worth every penny! If you're a fan of a good music selection, performed organically by talented and experienced professionals, then we cannot recommend Hollywood5 enough. Catch one of their shows advertised on their website or just reach out to them!
