We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ than Matt for our wedding! He was so easy to work with from start to finish. We loved having the opportunity to meet Matt prior to the wedding to discuss details, it really made me feel like he wanted to get to know us and you can tell he truly cares about his work!
Our guests said they loved the music and vibes throughout the night. He played the perfect mix of songs and every transition felt seamless. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests on how much fun they had dancing!
He seriously played every song I would’ve picked out myself.
Matt was a true professional—easy to work with, responsive to our requests, and so talented at reading the crowd.
The Photo Booth he provides was a hit, everyone LOVED it, picture quality was spot on and he even had a bunch of props.
If you’re looking for a DJ who brings energy, talent, and professionalism, we highly recommend Matt.
Thank you for making our wedding night unforgettable! Matt & Kelsey Sexton
Matt is a wonderful DJ! He was so easy to work with and helped pick music for my husband and I when we were short on time. Matt was very well versed on the reception schedule and checked in on us throughout the night. He took the time to understand my husband and I to figure out what we wanted for our wedding day.
When my mom and I met Matt and his wife at a wedding show, we instantly connected. Matt was very laid back, and not a pushy salesperson. As soon as we had our venue and date booked and finalized, Matt was the first person we reached out to check availability. We were able to book Matt Baer Media as our DJ and it was such a great choice. Matt was very responsive, professional, friendly, and reset my portal password for me more times than I care to admit since I kept forgetting the password. I had an initial call right after booking with Matt to go over contract details, various text/email communication, and my now husband and I had a meeting about one or two weeks prior to our event to finalize everything. Every time Matt was so polite and genuine. I knew he wanted to help make our day special. The day of was wonderful. Matt did an AMAZING job with our ever changing timeline. He was willing to be flexible and share the game plan with our other vendors when needed. Matt had people out on the dance floor and the music choices were great. Many of our wedding party complemented Matt on his job well done, too. We were very happy with our choice to book Matt and highly recommend him. He helped to make our day perfect!
From the first moment we reached out while searching for a DJ, Matt stuck out because he responded quickly and was personably professional. He was understanding and patient with us due to an unforeseen circumstance on our end, but was there when we were ready to book. Then as we got closer, we got to sit down with him to talk through the day and he helped guide the conversation to ensure we didn't miss or forget anything. The portal we used to line out the day was user-friendly and he utilized the information exactly as we intended. Finally, it was wedding day and if it wasn't for Matt, our day would not have gone as smoothly as it did. During the in-person meeting, we talked through the timeline, and on the day of, Matt ensured every mark was hit so time didn't get away from us. Throughout the evening he would check in with me and/or my fiance/husband to make sure everything was going as we hoped. He went above and beyond for us and made our evening stress-free and fun.
We absolutely loved working with Matt for our wedding! He is so nice, genuine and skilled! He did exactly what we wanted and really got to know us! Working with him is like working with a friend. He makes things so easy and he’s so kind! He even checked on us throughout our reception! If we ever need a DJ for an event, we will definitely work with Matt again! Hire Matt! You will not be disappointed!
Matt is organized, experienced, and just easy to work with. Calm under the pressure of wedding day change-ups and able to go with the flow of the unexpected. Several guests made it a point to come tell me how awesome he was as well. BIG THANKS!!
The BEST DJ! Ask for the cyclone to dancing queen transition, unforgettable!! Matt was so helpful in the planning process, and helped make our day so special!!
Wonderful job at keeping the night on schedule and helping us with our wedding time line prior to the day. Great vibes throughout the night and keeping people dancing!
Matt was the best DJ we could have ever asked for! We loved working with him, and he was so open and helpful to us during our wedding planning process. He made sure the wedding night was well planned out, played all of our favorite songs, and was able to get everyone on the dance floor. We are so thankful that we picked him, and would recommend him to anyone that is getting married. He puts his heart and soul into his work and you can definitely tell he cares. Which meant to the world to us after all of the stress of dealing with various other vendors. I never had one single issue come up with Matt. He is amazing!!!
Matt did an amazing job with our wedding! Matt spent the time to walk through our timeline prior to the wedding, worked with our venders to make sure everything went according to plan, did an amazing job MCing the evening, and kept our dance floor PACKED all night. Any questions we had were always answered ASAP via text, or call. With just a few song suggestions and music preferences, he created a playlist that fit our vibe perfectly. He also brought tons of lights to transform our venue after dinner. Matt is a true professional and there is no one else I would recommend to DJ / MC a wedding in the St. Louis area! 10/10
Matt was the absolute BEST DJ! He had the perfect vibes for the entire night - no one left the dance floor! He was awesome to work with. We had the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in 3 different rooms, which all needed music, and Matt was so accommodating with that and everything else we needed. We had many compliments from our guests about him as well. We highly recommend Matt!! He really made it a fun and amazing night!
Matt is awesome ! He is the best DJ we could have went with and we are so happy we choose him. He is so easy to talk too, extremely professional and has such a calm energy with him. Our guest loved the music he played and the entire atmosphere was so fun! We all had a blast and can’t thank him enough for making our day even more special .
THE BEST DJ- From a Wedding Planner
I've worked over 150 weddings and let me tell you, Matt is THE BEST. He curated the PERFECT atmosphere for our wedding reception. Music is a huge part of our lives, so the right DJ was a big deal. Not only did Matt CRUSH it, everyone was sweating from dancing all night, he also checked in multiple times and assisted in keeping the timeline flowing. He was so kind, responsive and fun. I can 100% say my wedding day wouldn't have been as awesome without Matt!
I cannot say enough great things! Matt is an absolute dream to work with. Very enthusiastic with our guests, incredibly kind, and just absolutely wonderful in making sure your reception stays on track with your timeline! I can’t recommend him enough!
Matt DJ'd my wedding back in October 2022 and I'm so happy we picked him! He was very professional from start to finish. He made the wedding planning process a breeze. He listened to any requests we had and followed through with making the night fun and memorable. He played the ceremony music outside and transitioned to the indoor reception with zero issues. We had a mixed crowd with family, church friends, and friends that wanted club music and he was able to deliver a great experience to everyone there. Thank you Matt for all the work you put into our wedding. You were absolutely wonderful and Tim and I appreciate it :)
Me and my wife liked Matt enough that we are both writing reviews for him. He was stellar at our wedding. Very professional he follows through on everything you need him to do. Everytime we needed something small changed, Matt was there and made it run smoother than you could imagine. His prices are great for the value you get. He has a very easy to use website that he sends you a link for which allows you to really customize your wedding the way you envision while also giving him the ability to do his thing and keep the night rolling and dance floor poppin! Seriously my wife said it right when he says it feels like a close friend is DJing your wedding. He was spectacular. I've had over 10 wedding guests compliment him after the wedding and its Monday and the wedding was Saturday! Seriously. Couldn't have asked for more.
If I could give 6 stars, I would!! Matt is the kindest, coolest dj in the industry. He is very knowledgeable and professional. His prices are fair, and you know exactly what you’re getting for your budget. The website he uses to put your preferences in is super user friendly- and he’ll make sure he plays music you want- and avoid the songs you don’t. He’s great on the mic and it genuinely feels like your close friend is djing your wedding- except this friend knows what he’s doing. Brides- you won’t be disappointed- he’ll make everything for your special moments perfect!! Seriously, book Matt.
(Matt if you read this let’s all get together soon! We’re sad it’s over)
Matt was amazing to work with. He is very friendly and genuine, which are amazing qualities in an MC and DJ. His music selections were on par and he knew when to slow it down or keep the party going.
Matt is literally amazing! Everything was perfect, music was spot on. I feel like I got super lucky having him as my DJ. He always came up to me, not a busy time during the wedding, to make sure everything was good to go and to reassure me! Cannot say enough good things about him!
Matt DJed my wedding last week and did an absolutely amazing job. He's super enthusiastic about his job, and it shows. He was great about proactively communicating to make sure that everything went according to plan, and we got lots of compliments on both the music and his friendliness. Matt did a great job taking our music preferences and translating them into a great playlist -the dance floor was packed all night! I would highly recommend him to anyone.
Matt DJ'd for my wife and I's wedding this past August and we couldn't have been happier with him! Every step of the process he was incredible. He was both personable and professional and truly helped our wedding day go incredibly smoothly. He took our music preferences into account and just ran with them and there wasn't a single song that felt out of place the whole night. We had multiple people compliment us on the music and it truly was great. He was also so easy to work with, he worked with the venue to get everything figured out and we never had to give him and direction the whole night. Even when we did our last dance with just my wife and I he left the room so that we could truly be just the two of us which was something we hadn't asked him to do but made it all the more special. It's the little moments like that that just proved to us he was the perfect choice for our day and I would recommend him to anyone who's looking for a DJ!
My husband, Tyler and I recently got married in May 2022 and we were lucky enough to have Matt Baer DJ both our ceremony and reception! In my opinion, music can make or break a wedding, and given my husband and I are BIG dancers, it was a super important aspect of the day for us. Matt was very responsive throughout the planning process, and I had so much fun chatting with him the week before to discuss all of the details! Matt is so incredible to work with, I had LOTS of specific requests that he executed so effortlessly. Matt's playlist was the PERFECT balance for all ages, and he was easily able to read the room & adapt to the guests as the night progressed. I've had so many people tell us it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to, and that is HUGELY thanks to our wonderful DJ! Thank you so much!
Circumstance didn't let Matt DJ my fiance and I's wedding but we had such a good experience with him through the process that we felt compelled to leave a good review. After doing a lot of interviews and vetting, Matt was at the top of our list on account of being very reasonable with his pricing and more importantly we felt like we knew what we were getting with his services which was not the case for a majority of the other companies in the STL area. I have no doubt Matt will take great care of any couple (and their guests) that decides to hire him.
Matt is everything special and made our day special. The first time we spoke with Matt on the phone, we knew he was the one. He was calm, kind, and assured us that he would take care of us. Everyone at our wedding loved Matt. He played all the songs we wanted and more. He dedicated his time to our very special day. We are incredibly grateful we hired this awesome DJ and cannot wait to have him perform many more events for us.
Blessing & Tim
Matt was our DJ on 11/6/21 and wow, did he blow us away! Before the wedding, Matt took our likes and dislikes and really stayed true to them for the wedding. He had the dance floor PACKED all night, and even included a game of Thunderstruck. Everyone had the best time to hit after hit. I couldn’t recommend Matt enough! He truly made our night a great party!!
