When you book DJ Shark Attack you get incredible music and a hype reception, but you also get unreasonable hospitality! Dan had drinks waiting for us at our reception table, checked in on how we were doing, and ensured all names were pronounced correctly. In short, he made sure our special day was truly special.

Something Blue Planning + Coordinating

Planner
Offers 4 services
Starts at $1,000
Serves Carlyle, IL

Something Blue Planning + Coordinating, founded by a mother-daughter team in O’Fallon, Missouri, helps couples across the St. Louis area and beyond bring their wedding dreams to life. Launched in 2022 after years of planning for friends, we believe in one simple approach: your wedding, your vision. From creative ideas and timelines to vendor coordination, setup, décor, and tear-down, we handle the details so you can enjoy every moment. Packages range from day-of coordination to full-service planning, all designed to make your wedding seamless and unforgettable.

“Desiree and the team at Something Blue Planning Coordinating were an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. I am an event planner and very organized by nature, and I realized, just a couple of weeks into planning the wedding, that I needed someone else to be in charge of the day, or I would not enjoy my wedding if I had to be in charge of it. Our reception location and church had day of coordinators on hand to help but not someone to keep things moving, help create the schedule, deal with ALL the communication that goes on between vendors and all the little details you don't think about. Enter Desiree! Desiree was excellent from our first meeting a year out through follow-up a couple of days after the wedding. My husband, who had been along the line that "we could do it ourselves", walked away from our first meeting, saying he was so grateful to have Desiree and didn't realize everything that went into a wedding. Desiree’s communication was quick, easy, supportive, and to the point. The quality of her work and the value she provided was truly top-notch - professional, creative, helpful, patient, and loving. She took the stress off the day and made it possible for me to enjoy the wedding with my husband, TRULY. She was the point of communication for everything that day and she helped me think through all the different processes and how to do things, was incredibly patient and supportive, and was there for us night and day. She ensured we all were doing well throughout the day and kept everyone aware of where they needed to be. I am so glad we hired them and would absolutely suggest you do the same!”

“Planning-Their tool was easy to use and helpful if you have no idea where to start/what you need to cover music for everything. Chris was so quick to respond and helpful with every question i had, even ones i thought were probably stupid to ask. Dj-We were blessed with Richard. Fun to work with, brought the vibes, and went above and beyond getting a few pictures of us to display on his Dj stand. Everyone cried when they noticed them. He even helped us play a prank on my sister/MoH that was against a song we thought would be fun for the ceremony and did a "sound check" with it. It backfired, she loved it. Photo Booth - So worth it. Our venue had one that didn't have printouts and no attendant. We had Sara & printouts through Abell. There was ALWAYS people at it and she kept that line moving. We got a link to all the pictures the next morning. We enjoyed our venue but Richard and Sara brought the fun experience for everyone that really made the night epic. Thank you guys so freaking much for making our day!!!!”

Starts at $1,600

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!

“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.”

We are always up for any task you hand us and go above and beyond, no questions asked. We love the people that trust us with these important moments in life!

“Allyssa is the best. She really has it all together. We used her as our day of coordinator and when we had our meeting with her 30 days out from our wedding I swear all the stress flew off our shoulders. She handled all the correspondance with our vendors and kept a running to do list for us so we knew what had to be done, which helped us stay on top of everything. She showed up to our final walk through and helped answer all the questions, she had detailed documents and folders on Google that we collaborated on, she was timely and communicative and overall wonderful. Any time I had a little panic moment, I would text Allyssa and she would respond immediately, helping relieve any anxiety I had. She helped organize everything at the rehearsal, and day of, she was fantastic. Our parents and bridal party were even blown away by her ability to keep everyone in line and stick to the schedule perfectly. She thought of every detail and made sure our day went as smoothly as possible. I didn’t have to worry about ANYTHING day of, she told me what to do, where to be, and what was happening. She went above and beyond and helped put flowers in my hair before the photos. By the time the evening was over, she had our cars packed and moved to the proper spots, all of our stuff organized for us, and my purse, phone and keys were in my hand. I was in awe!!! We didn’t have to worry about where any of our stuff was and there was literally NOTHING missing. She even mailed our marriage license back to the office after the wedding. She truly did. not. miss. Allyssa is kind, organized, punctual and truly incredible. Our wedding day went perfectly and I don’t think it would have been as great without Allyssa. Booking her was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. We would recommend her to anyone!!!”

We are a husband and wife photography team based in St. Louis MO and available worldwide. We absolutely love what we do! Our main focus is to tell a story through the images we take at your wedding. The day will go by so fast and we want you to have a collection of images to relive each moment. We are always seeking clients who share our more laid back personalities, and enjoy the less traditional posed photos. Our style may not be for everyone and that's ok.

“I'm so happy I could cry. My wedding photos are so dreamy and magical. Rachel and her husband really emphasized finding the perfect lighting and every single picture is stunning. They're such wonderful people, and I felt very comfortable around them. Rachel is laser-focused and made sure we got every shot, while checking in to make sure we weren't feeling overwhelmed and giving necessary posing instructions. She even helped zip up my dress and pin in my veil. My favorite part was when we were on golf-carts to the next location and she shouted "STOP! The lighting is beautiful," and she was right - we got some of the best pics from that spot. We had 2 zoom calls with them beforehand and Rachel helped us with our timeline, which was so helpful. She's very responsive with emails and her estimation of 5 weeks to get photos after the wedding was exactly correct. We didn't lose our deposit with them when we pushed our original wedding due to the pandemic. Even our engagement photos turned out amazing. I cannot recommend them enough.”

Hi, I'm Ally. I thrive on crafting beautiful events and honing in on the details that make each wedding truly one-of-a-kind. My goa is to ensure that every couple's special day is infused with their unique story, making their dreams come to life in the most magical way possible. My adventure in wedding planning began in 2022 and I've since had the priviledge of collaborating with many couples, transforming their visions into stunning realities.

“We worked with Ally as our wedding coordinator, and we couldn’t recommend her more! From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, organized, and knowledgeable - especially when it came to our ceremony at the Jewel Box in Forest Park, which is known for having an extremely strict timeline. From the moment we booked the venue, Ally guided us through ceremony timing and logistics, putting our minds completely at ease knowing she would be running the show. Our rehearsal was efficient and perfectly organized thanks to her direction, and on our wedding day, she went above and beyond. As the venue coordinator, she was able to access the space early, set up all of our decor beautifully, and ensured that everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. The ceremony went off without a hitch, and we owe that to Ally’s calm, collected presence and attention to detail. She truly has an amazing eye for design and what looks best in a space. Whether you need help with coordination, planning, or decorating, you’ll be in great hands with Ally!”

I have been a wedding photographer since 2011 & love being a part of my couple's lives. I enjoy getting to know clients on a personal level so I can really document who they are as people & as a couple. I am one of those people who rarely meets a stranger & love becoming friends with new people wherever I go. On a personal level, I have the cutest mini Aussie who is my pride & joy! I am close with my family & have some of the most wonderful friends.

“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!!!”

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.

“We booked with Rachel about a month before our big day, and even though we didn’t work together for very long, she made SUCH a difference for our whole experience! She’s so kind, super communicative and supportive with whatever we need, and friends/family who attended our wedding described her as being “everywhere where you might need her.” I’d recommend Rachel and Lebeaux Weddings in a heartbeat for anyone who needs day-of services!”
