Complete Weddings + Events Grand Rapids

ete for weddings and other events.

ould be unable to find vendors because of the date but not only did we have an amazing photographer and videographer from Complete at our wedding, we also had backup vendors on call from their team just in case! As someone that works in the wedding industry that was huge for me and totally put me at ease. Our photographer Lena was amazing for both the wedding and engagement pictures and videographer Matt was a blast! The photos and video were delivered in a timely manner and we received a digital copies plus cute flash drives of all of our content! Cannot recommend them enough!

better DJ, and we heard the same sentiment from many of our guests. All of this after Justin was responsive and helpful from the very first phone call. We are grateful for a perfect experience.

equests, and some details that I wanted to be highlighted at my wedding and everything was followed to the letter! Also the price for the service was unbeatable!! thank you so much to the whole staff! Loved working with Complete Weddings! ☺️☺️

logistics, as well as any changes and items of concern. Emily was great, very professional, and actually reached out to all my vendors a month out, to make sure all the loops were closed. She also was a total pro when the ceremony needed to be moved at the last minute due to rain. John (the DJ) and Lindsay (the photographer) also reached out ahead of time to introduce themselves and to discuss my wants and needs, and they both were incredible the day-of. John played almost all the songs on my suggested/vibe playlist, and he also took some really sweet special requests. He expertly read the crowd and played music in-tune with everyone's mood, and he helped keep the whole day running smoothly and on-schedule. Lindsay also was a real trooper, running here and there to grab photos at multiple locations, organizing some group family shots that included ~40 people (some of them), and of course, dealing with the weather. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my decision to go with Complete Weddings + Events for the three services listed. I couldn't have done it without them!

preferred photographer, DJ, and videographer based on their style (and availability for date). We are so happy we selected this vendor. Shout out to our photographer- Rachael, DJ- Zaydrian, Videographer- Wagner, Photobooth Operator- Jess. You all made our day so wonderful and captured memories for years to come. There were minor communication problems the day of but comparing this from start to finish overall experience- Complete Wedding + Events over delivered. 5/5 stars *Competitive pricing and using one vendor over multiple contracts for each service was a driving factor for us in selecting Complete Wedding + Events.

entrance to the wedding and those change overs were smooth. The songs during the wedding were also on point. My dad and I had a surprise mash up dance for our daddy daughter dance. John helped take the combination I had created and turned it into the mash up with smooth transitions. Each couple of the bridal party entered the reception to a different song of their choice, and John picked the perfect 15 seconds of each song to play for this! Overall, he was a wonderful MC and DJ for our wedding. Would hire him again!!

ey really made our day! They went above and beyond both before our day and at the wedding. We had calls with all of them to ensure that they knew what we wanted and Alex provided great recommendations for our other vendors. We had to use a different photographer for our wedding than we used for our engagement photos but they made sure the transition was seamless and we were taken care of. At our wedding, they chatted with our guests and even snuck a photo booth picture into our guestbook which was a nice surprise! I highly recommend choosing them for these services!

ruly a dream and everything we could have imagined, brought to life! Using Complete Weddings was worth every penny!! I can't recommend using them enough.

y. He played a good mix of pop music for me and country music for my husband. He also moderated our shoe game which was so much fun! Our venue wasn’t air conditioned and it was 90 degrees outside the day of our event, but Aaron was a trooper and kept the party going. Overall we were pleased with our experience!

panic, and didn't want the process to involve being upset at our wedding party for any resulting failures. In comes Amanda to the rescue! She was the calm and cool presence I needed during the planning process, who organized our schedule very much based on what we wanted. She also helped with many reminders/details we hadn't even thought to consider. On the day she worked her butt off every minute! If anything came up, she was already handling it. She was a blast to work with and is incredibly great at what she does. The DJ: It just so happens we had just been to a wedding prior in which the DJ played songs requests from guests over text, which sounded like a good idea in theory- but we felt that the actual execution of that felt very disjointed. That's why when we met with Rob and quickly noticed his extensive knowledge base/experience-- we basically just told him the feel of things we were going for, and let him take the reins. This was another one of the best decisions we made-- he was amazing! He made everything flow perfectly throughout the evening, without any awkward vibes/pauses. He also was a great director in leading speeches, games, etc for us (My easily distracted self needs that!) We had SO many compliments on him by guests, it was a big dance party for everyone of all ages. "Your DJ was AWESOME" Thank you Amanda and Rob for making our day so amazing!!

so many photo booth strips to look at because people just kept going back!!! Everyone, including my mom, loved the music! I've been told by so many people this was the best wedding they've been to in a while!! My DAD got on the dance floor and not just because he had to! I was even shocked about that one!! I will definitely recommend these guys to everyone who is getting married or has an event coming up!!

and everyone has an awesome time with him! He was so professional and communicated so well! We could not have asked for a better team!

happy I went through one company for all those services. Because they all know each other and have worked together before it just made everything that much easier the day of. There was no miscommunication between the staff and they all work tremendously well as a team. I'll start with our coordinator Alex; Alex was there to answer any of my question throughout the entire planning process over a year in advanced. She was always timely with her emails and always picked up every time I called. She handled all the special quirks we wanted throughout our wedding, kept us on time, and coordinated all of our vendors include the food, two hairstylists from different companies, the bar, and desserts. That along with everyone else from complete wedding. Alex did a phenomenal job which took so much stress off myself the day of the wedding because I didn't have to worry about a thing. I would 100% recommend getting a day of coordinator to any bride so they can just enjoy their own wedding and I would 100% recommend Alex to be that coordinator. Our DJ was Jon. I can't tell you how many compliments we had after the wedding with how great the music was. There was always a good # of people on the dance floor throughout the night. Two of my concerns for my wedding was 1: the weather and 2: great dancing music. You can't control the weather but Jon nailed it on the music! He also handled the ceremony music/microphones, the cocktail hour music, and the speeches all of which were in different places on the venue. We had some special requests for songs and Jon remembered and played each one at the right time. He also got the wedding party drinks during dinner and always made sure we were taken care of. He went above and beyond his responsivities as a DJ. Our photographers! So, I can't say much about the photos as I have not received them yet (it takes 4-6 weeks for editing like most photography services) but I have a feeling they are going to be fantastic! We had Racheal Gage and Lena, they both were great to work with, kept things fun and going on a very hot day, and whenever I needed a break they would give me some space because hours of constant photos can be tiresome. Rachael was our main photographer and made sure whatever specific photo we wanted happened! This included a long list of family photos. I am so anxious to get the photos back, I asked for as many candid photos as possible so it will be fun to go through and see all the guests having a good time. Between the two of them they came up with very creative wedding party photos along with all the classics. The photo booth! I highly recommend getting a photo booth, the photos are so fun and all of your guest will have a blast. Let me also recommend putting your booth in a well-lit area with not too much back light, My photos came out a bit blurry and a bit bright because I placed the booth (against the recommendation of complete wedding) in a the grass next to the well-lit pavilion. That being said, I still love all the photos. the booth was used all night long and at the end I was giving a flash drive with all the photos, a stack of photos throughout the night, and a scrap book with all the photo strips and some notes from the guests.

through them, DJ, Photographer, Videographer and Photo Booth. (If you hire multiple you get a discount) Every person that came to our event to work went above and beyond to make sure that our day was perfect in every way. Aaron, our DJ, was so personable and go with the flow even when we threw last minute things at them. They were so great and played the best music to get people dancing! Paige, our photographer was AMAZING! Her photos turned out so beautiful and she was very professional and organized. She made sure that all we had to do was pose and look pretty. Wagner our videographer was so chill and caught every second that we loved of our day. He knew exactly what to capture and how to capture it. Dan our photo booth engineer was fantastic and made sure that everyone had a great time taking photos. It was great booking 4 services through one vendor because we didn’t have to think about paying 4 different people, complete takes care of it all in east to access online portals and you don’t have to worry about anything. We did pay a small travel fee as they work out of Grand Rapids and we live in northern Michigan but it’s more than worth it! Highly highly recommend all of their services!

place. Dan showed up with no camera and asked my DJ if he was the other videographer. Dan’s camera apparently didn’t work. Rachel assured us the pictures were good. 90% are unusable due to amateur reasons. Pictures out of focus, people not smiling, Tracy in all of our chapel photos, pictures of walls, my eyes closed…etc. We brought this to owner, Justin. I called him the week following the Wedding to let him know photobooth attendant, Kayleigh. She brought an extra person to “train,” without asking, didn’t wear the attire we discussed. Upon speaking to Justin about Kayleigh’s behavior, he got very defensive and rude on the phone. I knew in that moment, he was in total control of the outcome. Maybe Rachel did take some better photos, and Justin just chose the bad ones?? We thought, hopefully the videos were good at least. Months later we received the “videos” and raw photos. The raw photos totaled less than what they gave us. He sent us corrupted files. Highlight reel was short, and in and out focus. The full ceremony was literally the last 5 minutes from the side, poor quality. I was promised video of my dad and I walking down the aisle and a shot of my husband seeing me for the first time. Nothing. Justin proceeded to say we were lucky to get any new edits and sent us the last 5 minutes at least 2 more times. He never re-edited anything. He admitted to not looking at what his business sends out. He offered us $500 and to sign a document that stated we could not review them online. NOTHING WAS USEABLE. This brings us to March/April 2022. I contacted his corporate office. They seemed reasonable and felt awful. Justin then emailed me saying, he “heard” about my conversation and that he did all he could do. By this point, we were grappling with the fact they MUST have lost the full ceremony footage. You would think he would have sent everything by this point. I spoke to a lawyer friend, who felt awful for us, he tried to get a hold of Justin. It took weeks, but he sent ALL video footage. Although poor quality, HE HAD THE FULL CEREMONY THE WHOLE TIME!! It was beyond abusive. He then said he would give us $1700 back, which was around 40% if we signed the document. The document he wanted us to sign stated $1500 refund that was attached to the same email! We said the only way we won’t say anything is if you refund us in full. He did not agree, however I did receive the $1700 6/21/22 and stated that if we ever reviewed him to be ready for him to defend himself. It’s taken me this long to have the strength to finally use my voice. Luckily we didn’t do an unplugged ceremony, so my guests had something. My voice is mine, and I won’t be silenced. It would be AMORAL for me NOT to share. THIS has hurt our entire family. Over 365 days of THIS. When I hired them, we were led to believe they were professional, and they would do a good job. I wish I would have known they would would ruin our special day forever. https://youtu.be/tatzpVyQau4
