In the exciting world of St. Louis wedding entertainment, one company is flipping the script on what couples should expect for their big day. Spin Society DJs are a collective of highly skilled professionals who started in the club scene and transitioned into private events. This group brings genuine mixing talent and high-octane energy to the reception dance floor.
The Origin Story: From Nightlife to Nuptials
Spin Society founder, Chris, began his music journey young, using basic PC software to multi-track and create mixes. This passion grew, leading him to become a successful club DJ in St. Louis. About ten years ago, he noticed a growing interest from people who loved his club sets and wanted that same energy for their weddings. Recognizing a significant gap for quality DJs for private events, Chris partnered with Marco and began assembling a team of top-tier DJs who could maintain a professional face while still delivering the fun, expert mixing of nightlife entertainment—the very thing many couples were secretly hoping for.
The philosophy behind Spin Society is clear and serves as their opening line on every sales call: “We’re not wedding DJs; we’re DJs that do weddings.”

Streamlined Service and a Focus on Expertise
Spin Society embraces a streamlined, one-package approach, realizing that couples planning a wedding already face decision overload. They use their expertise and familiarity with nearly every venue in St. Louis to bring the best equipment for the space, fostering trust with their clients.
Spin Society DJs utilize custom DJ booths and large wooden facades to ensure their setup is visually impressive and complements the wedding aesthetic. They also provide essential services to ensure a seamless celebration, including additional sound for cocktail hours in separate rooms.
Unique Offerings and the Power of Teamwork
The experience provided by Spin Society is built around the idea of a cohesive, enjoyable party, with several unique elements that set it apart in the St. Louis wedding industry. One standout offering is the creation of custom edits for dances. If a couple is planning a choreographed dance or a parent dance featuring spliced songs, Spin Society will mix the track in advance, giving the couple plenty of time to perfect their routine.
Spin Society DJs thrives within the St. Louis wedding community, often referring to other vendors as “friends.” This intentional networking is core to their success, as most of their business comes from referrals from other vendors who trust their execution. Chris highlights that your wedding team is what makes your day, and vendors who work well together increase the chances of a successful, seamless wedding.

Trends and the Single Must-Splurge Item
When it comes to trends, the most significant shift Chris sees is a divergence from tradition. Couples are becoming less traditional, opting to cut out elements like cake-cutting or grand entrances in favor of making the day feel uniquely their own. A trend he loves to see return, which helps build energy early, is the waving of linen napkins during the grand entrance and other ways to lift the energy in the room, leading up to the end-of-night dance party.
If there is one item Chris would recommend splurging on, it is, undeniably, the DJ. He argues that after dinner, the entertainment is the literal make-or-break of your wedding. If a couple wants a big dance floor and a big party, the DJ is where they should focus their investment. While most people don’t remember the food, they will remember the feeling of having a great time and not wanting to leave the dance floor—a feeling directly controlled by the quality of the entertainment.
The experience of booking a premium wedding entertainment service like Spin Society DJs, with its deep club expertise, ensures that the night’s final impression is a memorable, high-energy celebration.
