Sue and the team was absolutely FUNDAMENTAL in making our day a massive success. I have coordinated many weddings and NEVER worked with a team that was so attentive, fun, and knowledgeable about what they do - I will forever recommend them to e...
veryone!! MASSIVE props to photographer, Drew, who not only got every shot we wanted, but ones we forgot about AND was done early so we had time to chat with our guests and relax! I have never seen photographs go off without a hitch like ours did! The DJ, Patrick, was absolutely a blast - and LOVED how he ended the night with our first dance song again - so perfect! I have never seen EVERYONE on a dance floor, including our grandmother, who requested a line dance (and yes, there are TONS of pictures)! :)So thank you all - you truly made our night a perfect success! :)

Sue,
Owner
Complete Weddings + Events was great! I appreciated all the communication leading up to our wedding day. They utilize a portal where you can add all the songs and other details that will help your big day go off without a hitch.Emails get sent ...
periodically to remind you to fill out these forms. You can also pay your balance through the portal in installments or all at once, which is very convenient.We had an in-depth meeting with our DJ, Brandon, who played each of our selected songs to make sure they were the correct song and version.Brandon worked well with the venue staff and other vendors. He made the party fun with some games, got everyone to gather for a full group photo, and kept us on time with the things we had on our timeline (cake cutting, speeches, special dances, etc).We did Complete Interactive and decided to have a social wall and did bridal wars, which had the guests choose how they thought we, the bride and groom, would answer. It added to the experience and we will get to keep all the photos people posted on the social wall.
Jennifer was outstanding! Very professional and clearly loves what she does. She made the day easy, stress free and SO much fun!
Eli was AMAZING to work with!! He was so kind, friendly, professional, thoughtful, and excited. We could go on and on about working with him. We are so glad that we decided to add a videographer for our wedding. Can’t wait to see the finished p...

Cody, Thank you for the 5 Star review!! We were so happy to work with you and wish you & Taylor all the best :) Congratulations!!
With an older and more traditional crowd being invited to our wedding, we were a little nervous about finding a DJ that would match our style. However, Complete has a wide range of DJs that accommodate every couple's style! Complete worked with...
us and even set up a time to meet our DJ in person before we chose them for our event. It made us feel more comfortable after meeting with Nate and we are so excited for our reception. Complete has been very accommodating, professional and straightforward, which allows us to focus on other parts of wedding planning!
