Jenna the dj kept the party hopping all night! She literally was so great in ensuring the guests were kept in the loop the entire night. The couple loved x files and she was made aware and went out of her way to play the x files theme song as a surprise for them. Also, there was an inside joke with a cardboard cutout of Danny Devito. When they did a couples dance she even joked about how if someone didn’t have a partner they could dance with Danny. She was very personable and even helped clear plates in her free time. In addition, there was an issue where the hired officiant didn’t show up on time. I called Live Events as a back up and the owner Dennis told me he was an hour and a half away at another wedding but would come immediately. He rushed to our aid even when I told him the other officiant finally showed up. He showed up ready to help in any way he could. This company is top notch in all they do. Professional, polite, friendly, fun and ready to exceed your expectations. The only mistake you could make on your wedding day would be not hiring them.

Nicholas was the best wedding DJ service we could have ever asked for. Leading up to our wedding, Nicholas was very easy to work with and had very good communication. We were able to have all of our questions and concerns taken care of before our wedding. On the day of our wedding, Nicholas did a SUPERB job DJing! Our favorite part about Nicholas is that he does not simply just play a Spotify playlist and calls it good. Nicholas actually mixes songs together and he does an amazing job doing so. I had so many of my friends coming up to me on the dance floor saying, "HEY, DUDE!! THIS DJ IS AWESOME!" The DJing Nicholas does is amazing by itself, but Nicholas also does an amazing job MCing our wedding. He knows when music should be played, and how to keep everyone engaged at the wedding whether its him directing everyone's attention to the cake cutting or the first dance. There was one part at our wedding where we had our guests congregating at our venue before our outside ceremony started. This was something we never planned for before. We originally thought guest would take their seats outside. Nonetheless Nicholas realized what was going on and instead of guests talking with no music on, Nicholas started playing fitting wedding music for the guests to be greeted to in order to create a welcoming atmosphere. It sounds small but this was such a nice touch that he did. We didn't even have to tell him to do this. It really goes to show that even if your wedding plan doesn't go the way that you want, Nicholas will be able to adapt to any situation. The Ceremony itself was done perfectly. We had a handful of songs for him to play as well as some back up songs if some parts of the Ceremony took longer than expected. Nicholas was able to execute the Ceremony flawlessly. Nicholas is the whole package. He is very skilled at DJing and MCing, he is very kind and easy to work with, he provides a lot of his own equipment, and he does all of this at an amazing price. I feel like we should have been paying him 4x for what he charges. He is an amazing DJ and a gentleman. You can tell he really cares about all of his clients. You cannot go wrong with Nicholas!

From the moment we met with Franco, we knew we were in good hands for our wedding. We quickly vibed with him and had similar music tastes. From start to finish, Franco kept the energy high! One of the biggest worries for any couple planning their wedding is whether or not the guests will enjoy themselves. Well, thanks to Franco and his Show Me Sound team, that worry was completely alleviated since our dance floor was packed the entire night. Franco had a keen sense of timing, knowing exactly when to slow things down for those heartfelt moments and when to ramp up the excitement to keep the party going strong. His ability to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly truly made our reception unforgettable! Beyond his musical talents, Franco was also incredibly professional and easy to work with. He took the time to understand our vision for the evening and executed it flawlessly.

Having won the 2020 St. Louis Post Dispatch’s “Readers Choice Favorite Band” award as well as the “Best Wedding Band” by the Perfect Wedding Guide’s Vendors’ Choice Awards six years in a row, musicianship and style is the reason Griffin and the Gargoyles has played to packed houses for many years. Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

Griffin & The Gargoyles came together last minute to play at our wedding. We had another band lined up that canceled five days prior and while I was upset at the time, I lucked out! They are hands down the best, most fun and entertaining band you could hire! They will get the dance floor moving and it will be a blast all night long! Look no further. If you are reading this, then you should take my advice and book them already!

We cannot thank Ultimate Beats ENOUGH for the fun they brought to our wedding reception!! We had over 300 people at our wedding, and Martin kept the dance floor rocking all night long. There was never a dull moment when it wasn't jam packed with friends and family having a fantastic time! We are over a month after our big day now, and we are STILL getting compliments from our guests for the "amazing DJ" we had at our reception who played "all of the right tunes"! My husband and I also greatly appreciated their flexibility in letting us curate the playlist for the evening. This definitely set them apart from other DJs we spoke with! We are already looking for the next excuse to hire Ultimate Beats for an event again! They are incredible and so easy to work with! Also, we asked for the CO2 cannon in our package which was a HIT. Just something extra to spice up the fun. Ultimate Beats also provided the photobooth for our photo guestbook!

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!

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.
