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!

His forms for your likes,dislikes, and picks for the ceremony was very detailed and clear. I loved info dumping on them. I loved that we had a meeting a week out from the wedding discussing all the songs we wanted used and the timeline so we were all on the same page. On the wedding day, he got all the songs correct (which I was super nervous about cuz the music was SUPER important to me). And throughout our reception, he helped my husband and I stay on track with the timeline. He checked in often, which I appreciated Music wasn’t too loud during dinner which was great. And the fun lights he brought for the dance floor transformed the space. Would definitely choose him as our dj 1000 times over! Recommend for sure.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired DJ Rachel for our wedding reception in October 2022. From our first call through the event, we enjoyed the experience and appreciated her support! Rachel was very helpful during the planning stage. Her thoughtful questions helped us determine what we wanted from the evening, and Rachel gave us key input on the schedule of events. Rachel thought critically about the energy of different events we wanted (ex: group photo, cake cutting, table dash) and provided suggestions for best flow. Rachel was organized, responsive, and communicated clearly. We appreciated Rachel's suggestions on how to pick songs for our "want to play" list - it was a fun trip down memory lane, and probably our favorite part of wedding planning! On the day of our event, Rachel's leadership made the day go smoothly. Rachel was prepared, organized, and energetic. She seamlessly guided us, the other vendors, and the wedding party through the evening, and gave the wedding party notice on the next events (like their speeches!). This allowed us and our wedding party to focus on enjoying the day instead of the schedule. Rachel encouraged us to try a "Table Dash" - going to each table of guests for a quick photo while one song plays. It was so fun, and Rachel's willingness to try this idea (and seamless execution) was critical to making it happen. This also allowed us to get at least one photo with each guest, a treasured memory. Rachel's mix of experience, enthusiasm, and calming presence helped the first few hours of our wedding run smoothly. During the dancing time, we could not have been more happy with how DJ Rachel performed. Her energy was so fun and kept our guests dancing all night! Rachel read the room to keep things flowing and played the perfect mix of throwbacks, slow songs, and hits from our list of songs. We appreciated how DJ Rachel was thoughtful of the guest age/types regarding explicit and mature songs. DJ Rachel had high quality equipment and lights, including speakers for the outside garden area and two microphones. Multiple guests asked us if DJ Rachel was in the wedding party, and also asked where we found such a great DJ. More than one guest said "best wedding DJ ever", and we agree wholeheartedly! Rachel also supported our "vow renewal", a surprise for our guests! We would not have done this without Rachel's support and encouragement, and it was a blast! One example from the dance floor - DJ Rachel played "Copperhead Road" and led the dance floor in the line dance. The dance includes rotating so a different part of the dance floor is the "front" throughout the song. DJ Rachel ran around the dance floor to lead as the group turned, so guests could always see her to follow the line dance steps. I have never seen a DJ put in that much effort - it was incredible and helped people really get down the steps and have fun in the dance. Just one example of how DJ Rachel went above and beyond to make the day successful. Rachel made working together remotely easy. We planned our wedding from out of state, and Rachel was integral to making this successful - phone calls, zoom calls, a google doc were all tools that Rachel used to facilitate the long distance planning. Rachel also accepted Venmo which made paying easy (no need to remember a check!). On important days like your wedding, you need a high quality team in your corner to help make the day run smoothly and meet your expectations. Rachel is that partner! We highly recommend DJ Rachel!

We collaborated with Emily to curate the music selection for our ceremony, and she proved to be a fantastic partner throughout the process.

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

Cuarteto Guataca is AMAZING. Every single member of this group is an absolute joy to work with, and their talent is beyond words! Cuarteto was our wedding band, and I don’t think anyone sat down the entire reception! Hire them now!!
