We had an amazing experience with Mael! He did a great job reading the crowd and keeping the energy up. Since the weather was so nice, we asked if he could move everything outside, and he was happy to make it happen without any hesitation! It made the night even more fun! He really cared about making sure our day was perfect and stress free and he was so easy to work with from start to finish. We’d definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a great DJ!

It was nice to have a one-stop shop and the vendors all seem to work well together.
We did bring in our own photographer and that was also an excellent experience, I think they may have become best friends?
They were all nice and wanted to make sure we were getting what we wanted, not some cookie-cutter experience. Everything ran smoothly day of. We were never told "that's not my job" by anyone, they all went above and beyond in our opinion and were very communicative.

We went through Complete Weddings + Events for both our DJ and photographer, and they were absolutely incredible from start to finish.
From the beginning, Kim, our main contact at...
Complete, was so helpful, responsive, and flexible. She kept us in the loop and made sure everything was on track. Their online planning system was also super easy to use, which made organizing everything much less stressful.
As for our vendors, they were phenomenal.
Our photographer, Hope, was far and away the best photographer we could have ever asked for. She was so communicative throughout the entire process, doing multiple Zoom calls to get to know me and my husband and really understand our vision for the day. She even looked through my Pinterest board and created a full shot list ahead of time, which she had on hand the day of.
Hope helped build our photography timeline and it worked out perfectly. She made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, gave clear direction to make photos feel natural and candid, and was so fun to be around. On top of that, she brought her Polaroid camera and gave us a little album of instant photos from the day which was such a thoughtful touch.
It was nearly 90 degrees on our wedding day, and she was still willing to move around our large venue, scout different photo spots, and never once made us feel rushed. We’ve only received our sneak peeks so far (which she delivered within days!), and we are blown away. I truly could not recommend Hope more, she was professional, fun, and so incredibly talented. I feel so lucky we had her capturing our wedding.
Our DJ, Cody, was also amazing! He kept the energy up all night, read the crowd perfectly, and made sure everything flowed smoothly from the reception entrance to the last song. He was great with announcements and timing and really kept the party going. We also added the lighting package, which elevated the dance floor and helped everything feel like a real celebration.
If you’re even slightly considering using Complete Weddings + Events do it! They were incredibly affordable for the level of service we received and made our day feel seamless and unforgettable.
Thank you so much to Complete Weddings, Kim, Hope, and Cody we couldn’t be more grateful!

ence with Complete was seamless and stress-free from start to finish. Kim will be so happy to know her support and organization made the planning process smooth, and we love that the online planning system was a helpful tool for you.
Hope will be thrilled to hear how much you valued her care and creativity—from the planning calls and custom shot list to her thoughtful touches on your wedding day. It’s wonderful to know she made you feel comfortable, captured your vision beautifully, and went above and beyond even in the summer heat. Cody will also be so glad to hear he kept the energy flowing, read the crowd perfectly, and helped create a true celebration on the dance floor with the added lighting.
It means the world to us that you felt so well cared for and that you’d recommend Complete to others. Congratulations again to you both—we’re honored to have been part of such a joyful and unforgettable day! 🎉💍

We absolutely adored our Complete Events team, and I already recommended your team to my sister getting married next year.
Our Photobooth was incredibly cute, and we loved how se...
amless it was for guests to interact. I wish some of the props were we more wedding related, but maybe I just missed them. The photo book after the wedding was so cute to look through! However, the pen used for it smeared on almost every page. Maybe worth looking into a different brand of pen so it doesn’t print into opposite pages.
Our DJ kept our dance floor full and lovely the entire night. We had a detailed, almost hour long phone consultation with him about how we didn’t want to have basic music and wedding hits at the wedding. My fiance and I even took the liberty of creating playlists for each and every section of the night to ensure that our favorite songs would make an appearance. However, when the dancing began he missed quite a few of our personal selections in favor of songs that he played at every standard wedding. We didn’t get any KPop songs, no Glee, no EDM, etc. While the dance floor stayed popping the whole night, which was the most important, we were a little disappointed to have not had our favorites played after we took so much time and care to set him up for success.
Our day of Coordinator, Katie, was the standout of the day. She handled absolutely everything day of on our behalf, and made sure that our venue was set up exactly the way that we wanted it to be. In the weeks leading up to wedding, she was so helpful in getting our priorities straight, wrangling our vendor contacts (no easy feat given Stuart), and keeping us sane. We had quite a few snafoos on wedding day, from the venue setting up the floor plan wrong, to needing to reorder dessert, to a bridesmaid getting food poisoning, but Katie remained calm, and handled everything. Seriously, give this girl a raise.

Our photobooth also came with an attendance which I highly suggest! They were so personable and got everyone to get excited and have fun at the booth! We also got a scrapbook of all the photos and they had everyone sign and decorate it! THEY ARE AMAZING

pill food on my white dress – that kind of thoughtfulness blew me away. When I was uncomfortable in my dress and needed to change the reception schedule during dinner, he didn’t complain once. He just went with the flow and made it feel seamless, like it was the plan all along. He kept the dance floor alive all night long with the BEST music – I’ve truly never danced or partied that hard in my life! I would recommend this DJ to literally anyone. Words can’t explain how amazing he was!
Photographer:
Our photographer was the sweetest! She let me choose random shots on the fly without a single complaint and captured everything quickly and efficiently. Her trainee was also incredible – both of them had smiles on their faces the entire day, which made the whole experience so enjoyable. I cannot wait to see the photos, and I know they are going to be absolutely stunning!
Complete Weddings + Events gave me such peace of mind on my wedding day with these two amazing professionals. If you’re a bride looking for people who will truly go above and beyond for you, look no further!

That level of flexibility and heart is exactly what you deserve on your wedding day.
You also love hearing how wonderful your photographer and her trainee were—capturing moments effortlessly, rolling with spontaneous ideas, and bringing such positive energy throughout the day. Knowing you felt at ease, supported, and excited (especially while waiting to see your photos!) is exactly the peace of mind the team strives to give every couple.
Thank you for trusting Complete Weddings + Events with such an important day and for recommending the team so wholeheartedly. You’re honored to have been part of your celebration, and you’re wishing you a lifetime of love, laughter, and unforgettable dance floors!

So many of our guests went out of their way to tell us how impressed they were. We didn’t put a lot of thought into the playlist, just a short list of songs and left the rest to her. She absolutely understood the assignment, ran with it and made the night so much fun.
Sarah also went above and beyond, she was so patient and kind throughout the whole process. The photos turned out amazing, I couldn’t be happier with the results so far with sneak peak photos! She was quick and professional while also flexible with added last minute changes. I felt so comfortable working with her, she calmed my nerves throughout the day and all smiles were genuine because of her and Cass!!

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! :)

t 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.
