Hey, St. Louis! 👋🏾💍

I’m Andre Arkade (@AndreArkade) and welcome to Weddings By Arkade! After years of DJing concerts, special events, and celebrations, I’m excited to give the wedding side of what I do its own home.

My approach is pretty simple. Your wedding should reflect YOU.

That means taking the time to understand your musical tastes, creating the right atmosphere for your guests, and making sure everything from the introductions to the last dance flows smoothly.

I’m a faith-centered DJ who specializes in clean, family-friendly entertainment. Whether your playlist includes Gospel, Christian R&B, Hip-Hop, throwback classics, or mainstream favorites, we’ll work together to create a celebration that feels authentic to you.

I’m based in St. Louis, Missouri, and available for weddings throughout the surrounding areas.

I’ll be using this page to share wedding music ideas, planning tips, behind-the-scenes content, and more.

If you’re recently engaged or planning your wedding, I’d love for you to follow along!

And if you’re looking for a DJ, my DMs are open. 🎧

DJing @yesugod’s Gospel Skate Tour got me thinking…

What would a Gospel skate mix sound like if it blended Christian Hip-Hop, R&B, Gospel, and JB Skate culture? 🛼🔥

This @kierrasheard blend is part of the answer. 👀

And honestly… this isn’t even the craziest mashup in Gospel Skate Sessions Vol. 1. 😮‍💨🔥

Comment 𝐒𝐊𝐀𝐓𝐄 and I’ll send you the link!

Had an amazing time preforming at the @1kphew concert. Never thought I’d ever do that!

I really enjoyed all the artists who also killed it and chopping it up with them. It never felt like networking because we were all talking to each other as real people and trying to build community. We were just asking real questions about how we grew up, what church we go to, and everything along those lines.

Grateful to @gullymark314 for being the connection who made this happen!

All the high quality pictures here were taken by @mediabywyattboyer
Hit him up for pictures at your show!
