Our DJ Justin kept everyone on the dance floor. We received numerous comments that he was the best DJ they had ever seen.
Our wedding would not have been nearly as fun if Justin had not been the DJ.
Justin was amazing as he motivated and directed the guests throughout our reception event. Maybe the best DJ ever! He definitely made our wedding super special. Thank you Justin!

We really didn’t know what to expect with our DJ as we’d been to other weddings that seemed like the DJ could be a little hit or miss, but with Justin, it was a hit!! He did such a phenomenal job. Things got so hectic leading up to the wedding that we hadn’t had a chance to talk prior to our wedding. We filled out our online questionnaire/profile and just hoped for the best. Justin certainly delivered! The music was spot on, the transitions between different songs we requested, to particular covers of songs, he nailed it. We had many guests who had never done La Marcha before and we weren’t sure how it would go over, but he set it up perfectly. Our guests loved it and so did we! Hands down would book with Complete a billion times over!

We hired Complete Wedding for our dj, and everything was great! Gabriel was our dj and he did a great job listening to our requests and suggesting music. We gave him a spotify playlist that he was able to incorporate into the reception playlist. Everything flowed nicely and everyone had a fun time dancing. He was very interactive with the guests but not pushy, which was great.
There was one song mix up during the ceremony where the songs that the family/bridal party walked down to and what I was suppose to walk down to were switched and I didn't realize it until the doors were to open for my walk. I understand part of this was my fault with communication as I had to change the songs in the ceremony and didn't follow up. It wasn't a big deal and no one would have noticed except my fiance and I. The ceremony still went well and everything else in the ceremony and reception went off without a hitch. Overall, Complete Weddings did a good job as our dj!

Photo Booth was late and was not setup when promised. Our DJ interrupted us every 5 min during our reception to ask questions we had already gone over during our phone call. We had a dinner playlist, but only 2 songs were played then he changed the music. We specifically said NO requests, and yet he went around to every table giving out his business card and pieces of paper for song requests. We also did not want a DJ to teach us how to dance, and yet he was out there teaching. There was zero communication between Justin, Ian (DJ) and Suzie (Photo Booth coordinator). Really disappointing. We would have been better off playing our playlists on our own speaker system. We gave them more than enough information (playlists, timelines, list of announcements, etc.). It should have been impossible to screw up, and yet here we are. Overall, our DJ did play the important songs at the right time and played some good dancing music. It is really upsetting that we made choices as a couple and they did not follow through on most of them. We do NOT recommend hiring them for your event!

Complete Weddings + Events helped to make my son's special day as smooth and easy-going as we hoped. Our meeting with Justin, Kate (photographer), and later on, LJ (DJ) and Susie (Photo Booth), was informative, and it greatly helped put our minds at ease about the wedding day. Justin explained services to us in detail, and Kate helped put together a wedding timeline for us - which was a great help. LJ is a superb DJ; not only is he very personable with everyone, he kept the reception energy alive and played our requested music right on queue at pivotal moments during the wedding. Kate is very charming and a wonderful photographer; she has an amazing sense of knowing when and where to capture the right moments. Susie was a treat to work with; she handled the busy Photo Booth with ease and helped make it fun for everyone. Thank you all for your gracious help in making the wedding day a success! - Anna

We hired Complete for photography and DJ and were beyond pleased with both! Kate was our photographer and she was upbeat, helpful, knowledgeable and a really fun person to have at our wedding. She has a lot of energy and enthusiasm and knew exactly what to do in all circumstances. Wil was our DJ and OMG-we just loved that guy! He helped me work out a timeline beforehand and, since I didn’t know what I was doing, it was invaluable! He had great ideas and was a dream. He coordinated with us beforehand and helped us pick music etc-in fact we just let him pick some songs for key portions because he knew better than we did and he was spot on. He picked great music and read the crowd to keep them dancing all night. We just loved him and have been raving about him ever since.

Justin was great to work with through the contract process and he paired us with a DJ that was absolute perfection! Will kept the party going at our wedding and even brought hats for my husband and groomsmen to wear during the YMCA dance! It was so fun. He was attentive and helped to keep the reception on schedule and even came to make sure my husband and I had received food. The dance floor was never empty and we had an absolute blast. Highly recommend!

Justin handled the logistics and business side of our booking, and Robert Lara (aka DJ Esquire, who is actually a lawyer by day and just DJs as a fun hobby) handled the party--terrific service and one KILLER party!!! Justin helped us source our first dance song, which was helpful, and Robert worked with us to get a playlist--and he stuck to it. :) Robert's MC'ing skills are also very noteworthy--energetic, fun, professional yet entertaining, and not cheesy like some can be. This guy knows how to run a party, and he had our crowd dancing until the wedding had to end (due to hotel rules). As a matter of fact, the dancing crowd spilled onto the carpet area and this party was jamming all night long! We also hired a band for some live music, but we also wanted a DJ for certain hits. Robert worked seamlessly with the band and the party never stopped in transition--that's key. 110% AWESOME. DJ Esquire is where it's at!

Complete did an amazing job with our wedding. From the beginning, Justin was communicative, enthusiastic, and a great listener. He was transparent about pricing and the DJ, photo booth, and lighting services Complete would provide at our wedding. At the wedding, DJ Annie did an excellent job. She played great music appropriate to the different stages of our ceremony (e.g., tasteful and modern during dinner, energetic and "clean" during the early dancing, big time hits later in the dancing). Annie DJed the first dances expertly, handled the many requests from the bridal party professionally, and was very receptive to us (bride and groom). Marissa did an outstanding job with the photo booth. She provided a fun environment, helped troubleshoot issues, responded to guests' requests, and by the end of the night put together a wonderful photo book for us complete with all the photo strips and hand-drawn designs on each page. We couldn't be happier with Complete's services, and would wholeheartedly recommend the company as a whole, and the individuals with whom we worked, to anyone.

At our wedding, we had a photo booth, DJ and photographer through Complete. Professionalism and customer service was excellent! Each person contacted us prior to our wedding to check in and make sure all questions were answered and that we had all the details worked out. When the day came, everything went so smooth and everyone enjoyed the photo booth and DJ. Justin, our DJ, was so great and worked with us the entire evening. He went above and beyond! Liz was our photographer and was so much fun. She had some good ideas and also made sure we got all the shots in we wanted. We will defiantly call Complete again for future events!

Well we had a little bit of a rocky start. They had missed a phone appointment we had scheduled. A week later I get a call from the owner and he more than made up for it. They gave me an incredible deal. They worked well with me all the way up to my wedding, answering any questions I had. On the wedding day, David was unbelievably amazing. He was professional and had everything set up and ready to go on time. The whole evening he kept coming and checking up on my husband and I. He even got us our champagne for our toasts because we were too busy. Every reuqest we had he was quick to accomdate us. I was honestly shocked that he kept checking up on us but it was so amazing, it really helped our night go smoothly.

Complete Weddings & Events were our DJ for our event and they were great to work with from beginning to end. Justin was terrific in helping us figure out what services worked with our budget and also once we got closer to the date he helped us narrow down our long list of song choices which ones were just perfect for our special moments, even looking for and purchasing certain songs that we really wanted. The night before our wedding my husband and his family suffered a tragic loss and we were forced to cancel at the last minute. Complete worked with us and our Wedding Planner to reschedule on a later date and they were very understanding and extended our contract out to the new date. Our DJ was LJ, he was terrific in keeping everyone entertained even dancing himself to get everyone out there dancing. Justin even stopped by the reception to make sure we didn’t need anything and that LJ was doing good for us. Both Justin and LJ went above and beyond what we ever expected! If we ever have need for DJ services Complete and especially LJ will be our first choice. There aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are to all our vendors but especially LJ for making sure everything ran on schedule and everyone had a wonderfully fun time even getting all the non -dancers out there dancing. Thank you LJ & Justin!!

DJ was horrible, she played very little from our playlist that she was given. She kept unplugging the jack from her phone causing feedback. She was not interactive with the crowd. Just an overall bad experience. I would not recommend this company.

The music was good, they let us plan most of what we wanted. We liked that we got to give a playlist of music for our guests to listen as they were entering the ceremony. The playlist for the wedding was great too. Our only complaint was that when we asked our DJ to make a couple of announcements for us the DJ did not turn the music down, so people couldn't hear about the Photo Booth or when we were cutting the cake (which my parents missed). Other than that it was fine.

Justin was so welcoming to my ideas and what we had in mind for our wedding. Once the big day hit, we found out a few hours before our reception that our venue had flooded the night before. Needless to say it was a panic finding a new venue with only a couple hours. Once we found a new venue to host our reception, everyone pitched in to get the space ready. Not only did Justin at Complete get all of his equipment set up on time but he was running around bussing tables and helping to decorate so that we could get the party started on time. He went above and beyond what he was hired to do, something that is very rare. Once the reception started he was spot on with everything. He played all the music I had requested in our previous meetings, got involvement from all our guests with a dance I had requested which made for wonderful memories!! All night our guests were commenting on how "amazing" our DJ was. He felt like part of the family and not some cheesy, annoying DJ. We were beyond pleased with the price, product, and most of all the professionalism of Justin and Complete. They helped give us the reception of our dreams!!

First of all, both Matt and Justin are AMAZING! They both bent over backwards to get us a great price, returned pretty much all calls VERY promptly, and talked me through everything that needed to happen.
The DJs came highly recommended and I can definitely see why- Manuel, our DJ, was very outgoing, personal, and funny. He kept the party going- for the most part. Maybe we weren't specific enough, which is entirely possible, but he kept the "oldies" going a little too long (we had originally emphatically agreed with his plan to play oldies for a bit at the beginning of the reception for older guests), and that dragged a bit. He also didn't take a lot of requests, even though we were fine with requests and encouraged them. But overall, he was great and even helped me with a special surprise for my husband!
We also got a photo booth through Complete- Ryan, our operator, was very funny and helpful, and the photo booth was a HIT!
Overall, I'd highly recommend Complete!

Our DJ was Justin and he was awesome! Everyone we worked with at Compete was great. Justin played great music and really kept the crowd going. He even helped keep the kids entertained. I highly recommend Compete Music and Justin!

We could not be happier with our experience with this company. Only once we had trouble reaching them to finalize plans, but otherwise their online services were user friendly, payment was easy, and the night moved along and was full of dancing just as we asked.

The DJ they sent out was nice, but definitely didn't listen to our requests. I asked him to take requests from my guests and he said he would put request cards on all the tables. That didn't happen. Instead my guests went up to his table and frequently were told he couldn't play their requests. We also had a short break where my husband and I went to take sunset pictures and the DJ was asked to play some stuff for the kids to dance to and he told my mother it wasn't time for dancing yet. Everyone had fun, I wouldn't say he ruined my wedding or anything like that, but I really don't feel like he gave us the service we paid for. $950 for a DJ, you expect someone who will do what you ask.

After quite a bit of research, we settled on Complete Music to DJ our reception. Overall, we were really happy. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars for service is because we had provided our first dance song on CD (multiple copies) and our DJ had a hard time getting it started. I was really nervous that it wasn't going to work at all, but after about 4 tries, he got it to work. Other than that, we had a great time and the DJ that was selected for us was a perfect fit with our personality.
Complete Music does a great job of asking what type of music you would like to hear and the type of personality you're looking for in a DJ.

I had been told that if I went with Complete that they would be more than just a music DJ. That was not the truth for my event. One I had spent hours on the phone with my DJ setting up the timeline and other things but he did not follow the timeline whatsoever. We were late for the grand entrance but that was my fault but then after dinner we were supposed to do cake cutting and toasts it wasnt until my grandmother came up to me and said she was going to have to leave that I noticed it had been a long time since dinner. Unknown to me we were now 2 hours behind schedule!!!! I had to go to the DJ and ask him to start the scheduled events! The schedule may not seem important to some but because he didnt keep to the schedule both our grandparents and my aunt/uncle and cousins left because it was getting so late. Also when he came and set up he moved the table from the corner I had set it up in to right in front of the doors that we were doing the grand entrance through. When my now mother-in-law went and told him this he said "well its already set up here" thankfully my mother-in-law is a strong woman and did not stand for this and the table was moved. I will say he made great selections for the music and kept the atmosphere great all night thats the only reason they didnt get 1 star. If you want just someone to play great music they are the DJ for you but if you want a party DJ they unfortunately are not.

I cannot say how great a job Will with Complete Music did at our wedding reception!
Complete Music is a reputable, established DJ service and their performance and customer service is superb!
From the moment we met them at a wedding expo till the moment my new hubby and I left the reception, cheered on by our friends, Complete Music was fabulous.
I should mention that of all things I wanted at my reception, I wanted family and friends to have a really good time and actually fill the dance floor.
My wishes could not have been fulfilled in a better way!
Will, our DJ was incredible. He met with my then fiance and I at a coffeshop and went over every detail of song choice and timing with us. When we did not know what to choose or how to do something, his suggestions were perfect. He had of course thousands and thousands of song choices and helped us pick out personal songs for special moments. We left some of the general fun songs up to him and his choices during the entire evening were spot on every time.
Will himself was very knowledgeable, kind, personal and he was excellent in every way, even down to how impeccably dressed he was the day of the wedding. We enjoyed working with him a lot.
We got a ton of compliments after our wedding on how much fun it was and how everyone loved the dancing. The dance floor was literally filled the entire night, with people of all ages. Not just our young friends, but our parents and older relatives and coworkers. People had a ton of fun. We laughed and danced and totally got lost in the moment.
This was all possible, because a good DJ is the person who keeps the schedule on track. Will knew what time dinner was, when to begin the first dance, when to start the cake cutting, etc.
He came to us several times during the evening and asked us if we wanted to stay on schedule or do this before that or when we would like to do our final walk out. We had an entire schedule beforehand, but things always go a little differently and he was flexible and cared about what we really wanted. He was a wonderful MC, with just the right voice and perfect timing.
I've been to weddings where the DJ did not seem to care and played songs like a robot, regardless of how lame the party atmosphere was. Not so here! He was attentive, had excellent choices and we found out later how great the dancing was long after we left.
All in all, go with Complete Music. Even better, ask for Will. I may go as far to say that this was the best choice we made for our wedding day, out of all our vendors. They are that good.

Complete Music did a great job with the music for our ceremony and our reception and even let us add another hour at the reception since everyone was still wanting to dance. Great service, very professional.

I was very happy with the DJ, but the price seemed a little steep to me. Max, the owner, is great and really cares about getting what his customers want. The DJ was well prepared and dressed appropriately. He also consulted with us (my husband and I) as well as our photographer and caterer to make sure that everything went smoothly.

Our DJ was very helpful in helping us figure out our timeline for the day. He even helped us learn dances. He was a blast at our reception. When we first set up with them they let us pick a budget and stuck with it and we still got everything we wanted.

Complete music was fantastic! They arranged everything that I desired and the DJ was perfect to orchestrate all the activities making them fun and run smoothly. I added some personal touches to my first dance song and Complete Music made it happen. Will definitely work with again, everyone had so much fun!

Complete music sent Will to do our dj work. He listened to all our requests, helped keep the energy up, and even showed some guests how to line dance. It was a great experience. At the end of the night he also presented us with a gift, a disc of all the special songs that were our dances. Now thats a great vendor!

Max, the man in charge, is all about YOUR day as the bride. Best less-stress man out there. He was amazing. I had the feeling that the DJ was a little green. When someone requested a country song, he kept on with only country music until someone begged for a little more variety. Very nice man, though.

Complete Music did a good job at my wedding. The staff and DJs are all very helpful and friendly. They prepared very well for my wedding an knew what was supposed to happen that evening. They did experience some equipment problems that night.

We were disappointed in the overall service of this service. We booked them almost a year in advance because we had heard such good things about them. They did not contact us until 3 days before the wedding to go over playlists, entrance songs, etc. They day of the reception they were to have speakers set up in the lobby to play music during the cocktail hour - this was not done even though I spoke with the DJ while he was setting up the reception. He assured me he was going to do this next, but never did! He did not get "control" of the room to announce the wedding party, so it looked really sloppy. He did do a good job after that of getting people out on the floor, but refused to take requests except from the groom, even though he was told it was ok. Plus, the DJ was hitting on one of the bridesmaids (married one at that!).

Our DJ from Complete Music was very professional and made sure that he kept the evening moving for us not only at the ceremony but the reception as well. He was constantly checking in with us to make sure we were ready for the next part of the event and asking if there was anything he could help with. Our only reservation in booking with the company was our initial consult with the owner. He was very good at talking up his company, but when it came to the nitty gritty details he did a lot of sidestepping. If you go with this vendor, read the contract carefully and know what you want your DJ's role to be the day of so it's in writing before you hand over the deposit!

We had Justin Johnson as our DJ and he did a great job. He was very lively and nice and got the crowd dancing. The only thing I didn't like is that our video's had problems playing and I had asked for the DJ to work with the IT guys at Hard Rock Casino prior to the wedding to work any video kinks out...so not sure who was really to blame on this although my finger tends to point towards Hard Rock Casino. But the actual music and DJ were great and we were very happy with our services.
