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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

The music at your wedding can truly make or break the experience. If you have a sucky DJ it can make for an early end to your wedding. These guys take the guess work out of things and help you through anything from picking songs for first dances to getting the big day perfect. The one vendor on the day of the wedding that after talking with I knew I wouldn’t have to worry about. Equipment is all top notch too!

Landolfi Quartet 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Venice, IL

From a Pope to a Prince, Landolfi Quartet has truly played for the best! Landolfi is the most sought after string ensemble in the St. Louis area providing music for wedding ceremonies and receptions, dinners, parties, corporate events, TEDx, a postage stamp unveiling, and even visiting dignitaries.

If you are thinking of booking a string quartet, book Landolfi Quartet. We booked them for 4 hours for our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner. Their communication leading up to the wedding was great and I had no concerns going into the wedding. We chose specific music for the ceremony, the general category of modern music covers for the cocktail hour, and the general category of classical music for dinner. They absolutely exceeded our expectations. Our guests could not stop raving about how wonderful they were, and they especially loved the modern music covers. If you want something unique, I highly recommend the modern music covers. Multiple guests took videos of the group playing and days after the wedding we are still hearing about how everyone loved this quartet. Everyone thought the quartet was well worth the money and personally I thought they were very affordable for professional musicians. Having Landolfi Quartet was one of my favorite parts of our wedding and I would recommend them without reservations to any future bride.

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.

Thank you to Franco and team for an absolutely phenomenal job! :)

Griffin and the Gargoyles is St. Louis’ premier high-energy party and dance band. 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!

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.

DJ Obie

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 was so fun and easy to work with. Right away it felt like we had known each other for ages. He knew how to match the vibe we wanted and how to get the party started. He keeps it going all night long and gets everyone on the dance floor. He was one of the highlights of our wedding that our guests kept talking about.

He kept the songs rolling, didn’t play the whole song, kept people on the dance floor dancing. He took requests from our guests and fit them in smoothly, and everyone was really happy. Highly recommend!
