Alex was my DJ for my wedding reception and did a great job! Our friends love to dance, and Alex helped keep the dance floor packed. He played mostly early 2000s music, which is exactly what we asked for. From the initial consultation to the last song, we're happy we went with Elite Pro DJ!

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
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.

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.

We hired Rachel as our DJ and Day of Coordinator for our September 2024 wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our wedding simply would not have been the same without her.

She was flexible, prompt, and wasn’t afraid to take charge of the situation. On top of the coordination, Rachel was a thoughtful and energetic DJ and emcee! She had a great dance floor going and nothing ever felt out of place. She gave us great music suggestions and worked with us on the vibe.

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.

Their extensive play-list and freshness keeps the crowds coming back for more.

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!

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

DJ Obie “The Hype Specialist” rocked our wedding reception! The name does not lie! He got people dancing, learning new moves, playing games, and most importantly, he brought people together through song and dance. It was very special to see people getting down, letting loose, and smiling. I even sent DJ Obie choreography for a group dance, and he took the time to learn it and dance with us! If you have the opportunity to have him deejay your wedding or special event, take it! You will not regret it.

I will be there to help you and answer questions along your planning journey, then crush it the day of and provide you with an epic party. Let DJ Jeremy B help you “Make Memories Through Music”!

Awarded Best of Zola
Just let me START by saying, I am a true customer who hired DJ Jeremy B for my daughter's wedding at Walnut Hall Estate in Carrollton, IL on November 16, 2024. Not a friend, not a relative, just a mom hiring a DJ. I have not been paid in any way for this review... it is 100% our honest experience. My daughter had been to a prior wedding at that venue and loved how Jeremy kept the guests dancing so he was unanimously their choice! Forward to the planning stages... my future son-in-law is a fan of Marvel and DC Comics, particularly Batman. My daughter had an idea of playing "The Batman" by Michael Giacchino for her wedding march and even chose a wedding dress that had a cape to give it a classy "Gotham" vibe. The programs were Newspaper "Breaking News" announcements also with a Gotham vibe. DJ Jeremy took that idea and CREATED a remix for the wedding march. I knew nothing of this until my daughter called and said, "MOM!!! You have to hear this... the DJ created my walk-in song and it is PERFECT! I cried it was so perfect!". She drove to our house so we could listen to it on her phone... OMG AHMAZING! The evening of the wedding, the ceremony started and after the attendants (all 8 sets) walked in, the doors shut... then a quiet drum build up to the doors swinging open to this big boom of a climax of the remix with my husband and myself walking her down the aisle. I WAS SO MOVED and it was SO PERFECT... I just can't even tell you. Jeremy is SO VERY TALENTED... he KNOWS the "feel" you're going for and NAILS it! Not to mention he's got this handlebar moustache that is just edgy and super cool. Our Groomsmen were commenting, "I want that stache!" You want the BEST DJ?... hire Jeremy! You will NOT be sorry...and if you do...ask to hear that song!! It is just crazy good.
