Your wedding is YOUR day! At Ultimate Beats Entertainment, our biggest goal is to make your vision come to life. We customize a plan for your wedding, party, or event that incorporates both dance floor-filling DJ sets and live performances. Join together with your friends and family, get down to great music, and make magical memories.

“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.”

“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.

“Do yourself a favor and put your once-in-a-lifetime day in Victoria's hands. Although my daughter and her fiancee had a strong vision of their wedding ceremony and reception, they live out of town with full-time jobs and busy lives. Victoria recommended trusted vendors as needed and most importantly, helped coordinate a complicated timeline. With no "first-looks" and a large bridal party, Victoria expertly and calmly choreographed photography, vendors and family. With Victoria overseeing the details, we were all able to savor the day and witness the bride and groom's vision come to life. We had such a fun night visiting, dancing and celebrating. Thank you, Victoria, for coordinating a magical and joyous night to remember.”

“Our wedding at the Forest Park Golf Club was absolutely outstanding! Lexi was stellar helping us when we first visited, learning about the different package options, and finding out that we could make the dream of having our wedding reception in Forest Park come true! Maddie did more than we could ever have hoped for as our coordinator, helping us with decorating ideas, arranging all of the details, and getting everything set up perfectly on the day of the reception. We made some additions the week of the wedding that the club accommodated seamlessly. They made everything as easy as it could have been. Our photographer was in an accident on the wedding day (oh no!) which pushed back the timing of the wedding. We arrived later than planned at the reception. Maddie was waiting outside with golf carts so we could immediately dash away for pictures at the Grand Basin- after she made a quick dash into the club to bring out some emergency finger nail tools! And the pictures around the Grand Basin: sunset reflecting on the water behind us… so beautiful! And the food! The drinks! The service! Everything was absolutely outstanding. Me and my bride never got our own drinks- the servers were frequently asking us for anything we would like. It truly exceeded the dreams we had of what our Forest Park wedding reception could be!”

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!!!”

Her team was present, friendly, and in full problem-solving mode as we got ready that morning. Her emergency kit came in handy, and she even steamed my dress for me while I got my makeup done. To say that they go above and beyond is an understatement. They tied ties, pinned corsages, tracked down missing earrings, anything and everything that needed to be handled was done so. She was worth every penny and I highly recommend her team to any couple looking for a seamless wedding day.”

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!”

“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!”

“Ellvia Beauty was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day. Their communication was great - they were responsive, easy to talk to, and really made me feel heard when discussing my vision. On the day-of, Ellvia brought those visions to life beautifully. They were very accommodating to some last minute changes and their pricing was reasonable for the high quality work they delivered. Ellvia brought fantastic energy and vibes while flawlessly executing hair and makeup for me and my bridal party. My hair and makeup stayed put all night long even after hours of dancing! I couldn't recommend Ellvia highly enough for helping make our wedding day so special.”

“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!”

From the very first consultation, Nikki and her team were highly responsive, transparent, and thorough in understanding our vision.

Nikki and her team went above and beyond to make sure that myself and every member of the bridal party was not only happy with our hair and make up, but that we felt confident and comfortable - we loved the final looks!

“Tony did both our engagement and wedding photo (and our proposal! a surprise from my husband). I don't know if there's enough words to express how grateful we are that we decided to have him as our photographer. We felt heard the whole way through, he took note of what was important to us, he considered our inspiration pictures, he posed us so that we always looked great, and he kept the whole day feeling light and fun. His assistant photographer Bryson was also incredible. My husband and groomsmen were always laughing and it truly felt like we had hired family to be with us that day. You don't have to look further, Tony is worth every single penny!!! Our families can't stop talking about how good the pictures are.”

“My wedding photos were the perfect depiction of my wedding day. I felt confident and you can tell him the pictures. I had told Sollie that I was self-conscious about how I looked at times. Sollie was conscientious of angles and trying to get pictures she thought look good as well as getting photos that were important to me. She included my family and got shots that were not necessarily planned, but turned out perfect. I have now used her for all of my family photos and photos of my children ever since and don’t plan on changing that. She is amazing.”

“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.”

“Haue Valley was incredible. They were highly communicative with us during the planning process. We took full advantage of their vendor open houses and decor open houses. Most of our decor came from the decor closet, and we had a beautiful wedding. Going into the wedding day, we were already fully in love with our Haue Valley experience. But then we had an amazing day-of team member, and she made us love Haue Valley even more. She was attentive, on top of things and a highly reassuring presence. We could not give her enough kudos for her performance on our wedding day. We have only RAVE reviews for Haue Valley and everyone we worked with.”
