Life is about experiences, declare Leslie and Brandon Westfall, who own and operate Studio 636 tanning salon and wellness spa in O'Fallon, Mo., 'by day,' and Party Razzi Entertainment on nights and weekends.
They just celebrated the salon/spa's 13th business anniversary, and have been operating the entertainment company for the past 14 years.
"Originally started as a DJ business, we realized during the pandemic that people wanted to still celebrate but with only other people they knew, or perhaps just their immediate families. So, we added a 20-passenger bus," explains Leslie. "Our party bus has a built-in, walk-up bar with mixers and bartenders; guests bring their own alcohol."
They also provide music entertainment services, via Brandon as DJ Greezy, for weddings and special events, such as for the recent Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America, St. Louis Chapter's 2023 Gala 2023 at The Chase Park Plaza Royal Sonesta. They've also provided music for events such as the Wentzville Pumpkin Chuckin & Bullying Prevention Resource Fair. Their son, as DJ Valentino, also gets in on the action.
As a wedding planner, Leslie says she adores gatherings with themes. "My goal is to someday own a hall. Until then, my basement is filled with decorations," she quips.
Until Leslie gets her retail hall, she coordinates bus outings with fun or seasonal themes, such as Dad's Day Out during June going to a cigar bar, gaming-related lunch spot and driving range. She also plans for comparable Ladies' Nights Out. She says they just hosted Pumpkin Patch bus drives, a 70s/80s Gala at a St. Louis downtown art gallery, and a first-ever Thrift and Sip outing on Nov. 18. "We had a big hats theme, and stopped at a variety of thrift stores to have wine, charcuterie and snacks. So much fun," she adds.
Currently, Leslie is planning Christmas Lights bus-hosted events on Dec. 2/3, 9/10 and 16/17. From three buses, she says they'll be serving warm cookies and cocoa, along with a scavenger hunt bingo game. "The whole bus can be rented for a private group, or join with a few other bus guests," she explains.
New Year's pub/bar crawl bus events are next.
Additionally, they rent motorized Slingshots, which essentially are three-wheeled motorcycles or sometimes called autocycles because only a valid driver's license is needed to drive the vehicle. Brandon says they offer three Slingshots. "Rent one today, you will not regret it," he adds.
