“Keagan was the BEST - we are so thankful we had her help! We used the a la carte options for set-up/take-down day-of our wedding. But Keagan went above and beyond and helped make everything run so smoothly! Set-up would have been a nightmare without her. She totally saw my vision, and took care of everything so I could enjoy the day without thinking about decorations/logistics. THANK YOU Keagan, this was the best money we spend on the wedding, and if I could do it again I would have hired Keagan as our full-on day-of coordinator. HIGHLY recommend.”

“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!”

“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.”

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.

“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.”

“All of our guests could not stop talking about what an amazing DJ Rachel was! She brought so much personality and fun to our event and helped make it truly special! In addition to keeping the dance floor PACKED for the whole night, Rachel acted as emcee and kept the night moving smoothly with announcements, reminders, and helpful information. She is extremely professional and helped us smooth out the details of the flow of the evening during our planning meeting a few weeks before. She thought of so many details we hadn't considered and came to us with a ton of great ideas! We especially loved an idea she gave us for getting photos with every table in a fun and quick way after dinner to keep the party moving! She worked hard to get a sense of our music taste and planned an excellent evening of dancing, and also great happy hour/dinner music that our guests loved. She got SO MANY compliments from guests and the venue coordinator, who said she'd never seen the dance floor so packed for so much of the evening.

Emily even provided a detailed day-of itinerary and revised it as needed as we got closer to the wedding. The quality of their work and overall experience was amazing. Emily is so friendly and we felt so comfortable from the minute we met her. She did an incredible job on the wedding day, arriving early and not only taking amazing photographs and poses, but also keeping us organized and on track the entire day, which was crucial with a party of 20 adults. Emily went above and beyond in every aspect of being our photographer for the wedding day, and I can't picture our wedding day without her.

We instantly became friends, and took the time to get to know me and my wedding vision! She was so fast to respond to any questions I had, as well as being so accommodating. Cristal was willing to go between locations and work with our timeline. We did a trial run, and loved the results along with great recommendations to where I could get the products if I loved them. The hair and makeup for my bridesmaids and I turned out amazing and lasted the whole day! Her artistry and how much she loves her work really shows through.

“We were terribly disappointed when COVID caused us to cancel our 200 person wedding. In the midst of terrible uncertainty (remember those very early days of the pandemic?!) we planned a micro-wedding with just our parents as witnesses. Every bride dreams of her wedding day, and all of the special moments that go with it. We are so incredibly fortunate and thankful that Emily captured every single one. From the detail shots, to the getting ready images - despite our big day looking nothing like we'd originally planned - Emily documented the experience beautifully. After the ceremony, we headed off to key Kansas City landmarks where Emily took the time to pose and primp us so we looked our absolute best. The photos turned out so wonderfully, we got extra large prints that we proudly display in our hearth room. For couples looking for someone who will effortlessly capture the candid moments, and pay close attention to all of the details for those classic posed portraits, Emily Owens Photography is absolutely the right choice!”

“New to St. Louis and planning a wedding was a stressful combination. We did not know what vendors to book for our wedding day, or have any family or friends in the area with recommendations, so we went with a company called George Street Photo and Video. Thank God we did, because they put us in touch with Brooke who went above and beyond my wildest dreams!!!! From day one, Brooke was a joy to work with. Neither my husband or I had been in front of a camera before for any type of photoshoot, and we felt awkward and uncomfortable ... for about 2 seconds. Brooke made us laugh, talked us through poses and how to make them look natural, and took a lot of time and care to get to know us. Needless to say, we were thrilled with her work and went into the wedding day feeling calm and confident that she would capture our day perfectly. Between the engagement shoot and the wedding, Brooke was easy to get a hold of via text and email. She is responsive and full of excellent ideas. With 100 weddings under her belt, she has a wealth of knowledge. TRUST HER to make decisions, and she will blow your mind with the final proofs. She gets to know you intimately, finding out what matters most to you (like family backstories and tradition) and what your vision is. Best yet, she is able to execute it with precision amidst the chaos of wedding day. Her kindness, passion for photography and storytelling through this medium, and organization skills are unmatched. She is the kindest soul, and someone I hope to stay in touch with to photograph life's greatest moments in the years to come. Brooke, thank you for everything. You are one of a kind, and we are blessed to have met you!!!”

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!”

“If you're looking for a photographer for engagement pictures, a wedding photographer, or a photographer for any other occasion - stop looking! My fiance and I were visiting friends in AZ shortly after our engagement and we booked Maggie for an engagement shoot at sunset while we were there. To say that we are are OBSESSED with our pictures is an understatement. Maggie was so knowledgeable about the lighting at that time of day and utilized the whole landscape to get great pictures with different backgrounds, not JUST different poses from us. We didn't stay in the same spot during the session as she continued to create new angles to adjust to as the sun continued to set. I felt comfortable asking "hey can we try this!?" and Maggie was more than willing to get excited with us about capturing the kind of picture we had in our mind. Maggie also gave us alot of direction on how to maybe tilt our head, or move a hand over a little bit, or recognized that the shot wasn't going to be great so she just scratched it and moved to the next idea. This was extra helpful to me because I didn't have to "guess how to model" and I appreciated that she made good use of her and our time. Maggie works quickly to get a variety of poses and landscapes, is willing to travel, and seems to genuinely love what she does. Her excitement and direction made it fun and exciting for us too! 10/10 for our experience with Maggie!”

“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!”

“Katie and the Ellvia Beauty team were an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day. From our first meeting, Katie was kind, thoughtful, and truly listened to understand my vision. Her communication style throughout the planning process was helpful, prompt, and put me at ease that everything would go smoothly.

The quality of their work shows in how they made me and my bridal party look and feel our absolute best.

“We were married at Laumeier Sculpture Park in 1999, so when our 25th Silver Anniversary rolled around this year we decided to do it again!! This park has always been a favorite of ours since high school - so to return to the original spot meant so much to us. The staff at Laumeier are just amazing! They were quick with responses to questions and went above and beyond with the planning. We live out of town and they were gracious enough to meet with me when I came to town a few weeks before to walk through everything ahead of time. The day of, the staff did everything possible to accommodate our wishes and be sure other park goers knew that the space was saved for a wedding. We just cannot say enough about this park and venue for weddings. Beautiful setting, easy to access for all the guests and top notch staff - hopefully we will do it again when the Golden Anniversary comes around!! If you’re thinking of holding a wedding here, please do!! It is a magical place and photos after are so much fun!”

“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.”

“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!”
