Complete Weddings + Events Milwaukee

The services provided by Complete were such a let down. While all the communication and planning went well from the start, it just went down hill. Our photographer was great, but the day of coordinator and DJ were awful.

We booked our day-of coordinator and DJ through Complete. Though we had delays with the DJ booking, they did a decent job with our music. Our coordinator, Matthew (Chewy) was phenomenal and really helped the day go smoothly, from decorating to working with all the other vendors.

Misty was amazing. She kept our entire day running on time and smoothly. If anything went wrong we had no knowledge of it. Our wedding day was truly perfect!

Jeremy was fantastic! Not only did he play every single song we wanted, he made sure my groom and I were taken care of all day - grabbed us drinks, made sure our timeline was being followed, and kept all of our guests happy. Communication was super easy with the whole Complete team and all of our requests were made without a flaw. Our dance floor was full the entire night! Thanks for making our big day so great! :)

Jeremy was AMAZING!!! he played super fun songs, and all of our guests were dancing, one of them even broke her shoes from dancing so hard! He also went out of his way to bring my new husband and I drinks during all of our photos he was truly amazing and very accommodating

Overall I was very happy with the services compared to cost. Communication prior to the wedding day wasn't 100% as promised and some check-in meetings were never scheduled, nor were we given the option to pick our photo booth border. However, the employees that were at the wedding the day of were all fantastic!

It was amazing to have such a dedicated and thoughtful team💕 we booked all services with Complete and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you so much for making our wedding the most fun day memorable day!

The only reason I’m giving two stars is because I enjoyed working with and booking our DJ and photobooth services with Lauren L., and our DJ for our wedding was nice. Besides those two aspects, I would not recommend working with Complete Weddings & Events. My biggest issue with the company was a HUGE lack of communication. After we booked our services with Lauren L., we were passed along to Anthony. We received many automated messages from Anthony four, three and one month(s) out from our wedding to fill out the detail forms for our wedding in their platform manager. I would respond directly to his emails that were sent with our questions and either we wouldn’t hear back at all or it would take multiple follows up to receive an answer from Anthony. One of the biggest annoyances about working with complete weddings and events is that they did not tell us who our DJ was until a week before the wedding (I followed up 2-3 times via email a month out from the wedding and didn’t hear back til a week and half before). I also didn’t get the name or contact info for the girl running the photobooth until days before our wedding too. The other big issue I had working with complete weddings and events is their platform manager. They ask you to fill out details for your wedding on their platform. My husband and I spent a lot of time in there—specifically with the music. We had very specific songs that we knew our guests would live for on the dance floor so we added a lot of songs that we wanted played. We added all of the songs in 2 weeks before our wedding because we were told by Anthony that the DJs don’t have access to the platform (which is WILD). Apparently, the company creates a PDF of our answers and sends that to the djs a week before the wedding. Well, on our wedding day, our dj didn’t have our full list of songs so I had to give him my phone that had access to the platform manager so he could reference that all night. I don’t get why they can’t give the DJs access. Not super ideal and definitely was a negative aspect to our experience. Lastly, although our dj was very nice, we explicitly said in the forms we filled out and to him on Zoom calls that we didn’t want ANY lines dances of any sort. He ended up playing the YMCA and my husband and I both had to go over to him to ask why he was playing that. In addition, he butchered my parents (of the bride) last name when entering the reception. I know it’s not a huge deal, but It takes very little to ask for clarity on pronunciations to ensure you are saying the names correctly. Overall, if I were to do it again, I would not hire this company. The lack of communication was my biggest issue. Our wedding didn’t feel like a priority whatsoever. I get the fall is a busy wedding season, but we hired you for a service and felt it didn’t meet the expectations or cost we put forth.

Josh Kingsley was the dj for my wedding, and he absolutely knocked it out of the park! He took care of everything we asked for, handled it flawlessly, and even grabbed us food and drinks when we were too busy talking to people! He made our night a million times easier, and did such an awesome job emceeing! He got our music taste down pat and played all of our favorite songs! I 100% recommend having Josh dj your wedding or event!! He killed it! Thanks, Josh!

It was a pleasure working with Complete Wedding and Events, especially our Photographer Jillian! Complete was on top of everything, checking in multiple times for planning and to make sure everything was all set for our day! Our photographer checked in as well and we discussed all the details and specific pictures we wanted to get for our wedding day. She took the time to talk through the entire day and how the schedule would work. On the day of, Jillian was amazing and got everything done in a timely fashion. She got pictures of everything we wanted and she even let me bring her around from person to person at our reception to get a picture with everyone. She remembered a specific picture that I wanted to get during my reception that I had completely forgotten about. I appreciate her remembering the details for me because that was a really special picture for me to have. Jillian truly went above and beyond during our day, helping us with food and making sure we drank enough water during the day. The most important moment for me was after our ceremony and pictures when we were heading towards the reception, she told the few people with us to go on a head so that my husband and I could have a few moments together alone before the reception. This was so special and important to us during the craziness of the day. I appreciate her going the extra mile for us and making our day extra special. Highly recommend!

Our DJ, Nic, from Complete Weddings was awesome! He was so fun, kind, and helpful. He far exceeded our expectations! He knew how to get everyone on the dance floor (even dancing with our guests!), played a good mix of music, and even brought us water to check in on us during the evening. We got several compliments about how great he was! We would highly recommend!

Everyone I talked to was so helpful and nice. Everyone answered questions for me in a timely manner and made sure what we wanted for our wedding was able to happen. Our DJ the night before the wedding had a family emergency and Josh reached out to me asap the night before our wedding to make sure everything was right so he could execute what we wanted. He was incredible and made sure he played the songs we wanted all night long! I highly recommend DJ and videography service from Complete - Paul was also so nice and fun! We can't wait to see the finished video!

We got both our DJ and videographer from complete and I am so happy we did. Communication leading up to our day was great, I started booking very early and got check-ins once a month until wedding month which I appreciated. Our DJ was Jeremy, he was phenomenal. He really helped keep the night moving through speeches and dinner all while playing great music. After dinner the dance floor was packed and stayed full almost the entire night. Our videographer was Eric and he was amazing as well. Such a nice guy that really cares about what he’s doing. My photographer even told me he was the best videographer she’s ever worked with! I can’t wait to get our video back and see Eric’s vision come to life.

From the day we hired Complete Weddings for our DJ service we only had the best things to say. Our wedding was postponed twice due to Covid and each time that were willing to change dates without hesitation. We had a log in and forms to fill out that let them know what songs we wanted played when, if there were any songs/dances we wanted to have done and we could update until the day before, which was nice for me since I was changing my processional song a lot. Once we got closer we had a phone conversation to get to know us and our style then we were set up with Nick McAdams who matched with us perfectly! He played everything we wanted, made sure to play anything that was requested by our guests and went above and beyond what we expected. Nick was timely, took control during introductions, even carried my dinner plate to my seat so I wouldn't spill on my dress. I CANNOT say enough good things about this service!

Our experience with Josh was so amazing. He went over and above to make sure that everything went smoothly. It honestly wouldn’t have been the same without him. He played an amazing selection of music and kept everyone on the dance floor. I would highly recommend complete weddings!

Our DJ was amazing! He was exactly what were looking for and made sure we had a great time the whole night. Nick was awesome and I would definitely hire him again!

The only thing we wanted for our wedding was Karaoke; after consulting with the DJ a week before and making sure that he would be able to provide us with the only thing we needed, the DJ showed up and didn't even know how to set up the Karaoke screen. After fiddling with it for an hour (with one of our guests helping, he gave up and said we would have to sing without the lyrics. Fine, not the end of the world, right? Wrong, he then proceeded to fiddle with the service they use to provide songs to sing to (just instrumentals); he also could not get this to work either, and so his solution was to give us a mic and have us sing along to the regular music he was playing... So we paid extra for something we didn't get, and after reaching out to the vendor several times, we still have yet to speak to someone and be offered a refund for a service that was never provided. Everyone loved the wedding, and the only complaints were about the DJ... Never again, Complete Weddings. I would not use this service; they have zero concern for what you want and fail to respond when contacted, and I would not recommend them to anyone!

Great experience this past weekend at our wedding in Lake Geneva, WI with Complete Weddings and Josh K, our DJ. For two years, I have been working with them through Covid and finally, after waiting, it could not have gone more smoothly! Josh K was a pro, he read the audience and was sensitive about when to ask about the next activities without being obvious. Took great videos and was like a great referee, you didn't really notice him. Thank you, Josh, and Complete Weddings for making our wedding a wonderful experience. I highly recommend this company for your wedding.

My husband and I had a great experience with our videographer! We had Josh and he was great! He was very punctual and was super social and good at making us feel comfortable! He would constantly be asking if we needed anything to make sure we were fed and hydrated! We are excited to get our video back and see his great work! Definitely recommend!

I’m writing this review at 7 AM the morning following my wedding, which should indicate how strongly I feel about what follows. As a professor of public relations, I train a number of event planners. However, I would never send one of my students to this vendor. Unprofessional, unengaged. My two pre-event meetings were both over a half an hour late. The DJ at my event wouldn’t have included key events, like the bouquet toss or garter toss, had I not reminded him. Multiple dances and other wedding preferences were disregarded throughout the evening. If you’re going to have a bride and groom fill out a pre-event planning form, it would be expected that the items included on this form would be a part of your evening. The DJ offered no help throughout the night, was rude, and didn’t engage at all with the crowd beyond just playing music. For the money spent, I would go elsewhere.

We booked Anthony (DJ), Jillian (photographer), Joe (Videographer), and the photo booth and every service was amazing!! We can't wait to see our professional photos and videos!

Our DJ, Nic, was great! We had some unpredictable weather and he jumped right in to help! He was so communicative that is made the night a breeze. Thank you Nic!

Our DJ Jermey was an absolute blast. He was sure to keep the night moving along, and graceful with all our guests. During dinner he went around to every table to get song requests and it really helped keep people on the dace floor! When the night really got going, and everyone was feeling their alcohol he started singing Ice Ice baby and it amazed everyone. Honestly can't say enough good things about Jermey and making our night an awesome party!

I requested a photography and videography quote from this company online and within a couple of days, I received a thorough email outlining what options were available. They even put stars and a note to indicate which services would be provided for the quote attached to the email. It was the first quote I received back, so it set the tone for my review of all subsequent quotes I gathered. I paid the deposit and signed the contract. When someone reached out a couple weeks later to introduce himself and ask if I had any questions, I learned that they had NOT provided the correct email/quote to me. The contract was for their signature packages and not what I was lead to believe would be included based on the email that accompanied the quote. After a bit of back and forth, we had a call where I was told we could “meet in the middle” for the difference. Well, somehow to them, the middle of $1700 is $1100! Thank goodness we learned so far ahead of our wedding what type of company we were dealing with so that we could accept their offer for a refund of our deposit and find a reputable company to work with.

Awesome.

Please learn from my mistake and don't use this company. I'm shocked at the level of all-around unprofessionalism displayed by this company. I read great reviews about the company prior to using their services and today I feel bamboozled.  The services I used were their DJ, Videographer, Photo Booth and general event coordination services. TLDR: DJ couldn't follow a do not play list, Videographer was very unprofessional, the coordinators lacked communication and final product delivery was very late. DJ service: We supplied the DJ with a list of songs to play during certain times (e.g. for cocktails, for dinner, for dancing) and a specific do not play list. Mainly the do not play list was a specific artist my wife didn't care for that seems to be played at a lot of weddings. The DJ went on to play that artist 4 times. We felt we were being helpful by providing a list of what we wanted to hear (which he did follow for some of it which was appreciated, but  to play a "do not play artist" 4 times makes it seem like he was phoning a lot of it in. Also, we asked the DJ if he was comfortable releasing tables to get food. He said he had done it multiple times before and said he could handle that for us. We felt he wasn't paying very close attention to the pace of the tables and was going way too slow. Video service. We received no communication from our videographer until I poked and prodded Thursday before the wedding on Saturday. His initial response was "I've been doing this for X amount of years..." basically saying don't bother me with any questions.  We had no idea what we would be getting in regards to shots and was given an air of "you get what you get" in regards to shots. On the day of the wedding he seemed professional enough (even though he didn't go up and introduce himself, we had to prompt that interaction). That was until we received our photo booth photos.  We have a picture of our videographer using the photo booth and flipping off the camera. A paid professional gave the bird to our photo booth...slow clap for the stones on that guy.  As for the final video, the edited video was fine but the audio on the speeches were garbage. I would think a “video professional” would know how to mic up speeches…you know something that happens at a lot of weddings. Event coordination.  My video was due 4-6 weeks (i thought it was 8-10) after the event. I received no video or any information on why it was delayed at the 6 week mark. I called and left a message every week for 4 weeks after the due date without a response.  I felt like I was being avoided or ignored.  When trying to contact the company, you call a voicemail box and leave a message. Supposedly they will get back to you within 2-3 days of receiving a message.  When I finally got a hold of someone the response was "we were on vacation" as well as "it's our busy season".  I have no problem with delays...I have a huge problem with it not being communicated to me.  And if you were on vacation for 4 weeks...you could probably put an out-of-office in your voicemail. The lack of customer service to people who spent thousands of dollars at their company was shocking. No "I'm sorry about that" or anything. Basically, they had our money and were going to take as long as they felt to give us the product, if ever. This company should be much more respectful of the day and desire to be a positive part of that day.

I cannot say enough about our DJ Anthony! From the moment I spoke to him on the phone I knew just how amazing he would make our wedding, He did not disappoint! He was so thorough and knowledgeable during our walk through call. He covered everything and created the perfect playlist for us. He organized a game with the wedding party to help the break the ice that everyone loved and even brought me, the bride, drinks throughout the night continuing to check on how I was. I couldn't believe it. He got us perfectly and absolutely made our night! The music was one of our top concerns and the fact that everyone danced the entire night just proves how above and beyond he went. Would 100% recommend!

EDITED from original review of a happy bride, to a bride who got her video back: DO NOT BOOK Milwaukee Complete Weddings + Events. We had Misty doing our livestream and providing us with the video after. The video is horrible, the sound quality cuts in and out, and our guests were not able to hear anything during the ceremony on Zoom. When I reached out to Misty she was unaware that she missed one section of the reception where the father of the groom gave a speech, one memory we will never be able to get back. She also claimed that it was the word of the salesperson against myself and that because I didn't have in writing the things they shared there was nothing she could do, BAD business overall. The video quality is a joke and many videographers in the area have told us that others have found this experience. Misty and Milwaukee Complete were not willing to refund us and getting ahold of them was like pulling teeth. DO NOT do this to yourself. Book somewhere else. Happy to share the video with you if you're considering to truly see how bad it is.

Let me start out by saying I’m the kind of person that has really high expectations. So when people exceed my expectations – it’s a big deal! Believe me, I never thought I’d be so passionate about an event company 😊 Choosing Complete Weddings as my vendor for Photography, Videography, DJ, Photobooth, and Lighting made planning my wedding a lot less stressful and I think their pricing is very reasonable. It was a one stop shop. Because it was so simple, I was a bit uneasy thinking there must be a catch. There wasn’t a catch. 60 days from our wedding we had a phone call discussion on the general planning of things. This included my timeframe, how we wanted the vibe of the wedding to be, and other less detailed decisions. Two weeks from our wedding is when we got more specific with our DJ and Photographer. Matt and Jan, our videographers, came about an hour earlier than expected in order to get a lay of the land and get set up. Both they and our photographer, Torean helped guide us through various shots and made many suggestions that I was grateful for. For example – while my bridal suite was awesome, it was in a basement. Torean suggested we take my dress outside to photograph it with the beautiful fall colors as the background rather than painted cement blocks. I won’t lie he could have just taken the picture in the basement and I wouldn’t have said anything, but he put in a little extra effort. I’m very excited to see how these pictures turned out. We had Josh as our DJ and the moment we got off the phone with him, we knew it was going to be a good night. Josh is highly experienced and was able to incorporate the songs we wanted in with his typical playlist. He was great at communicating with us throughout the night and kept us on our timeline. He also knew how to read the room and if he felt like a song wasn’t going to have people on the floor, he skipped it and later explained why. Misty, who happens to be married to Josh (power couple), was a last minute add on to our event. While her official job at our wedding was to man the photobooth, she did much more. I specifically remember that she helped fix my train right before I walked down the aisle and later went around to the wedding party asking if she could grab us any drinks. These small details make a huge difference. These are the people you want at your wedding!! Thank you all for making our once in a lifetime day so special!

Videographer was great and everyone loved the photo booth. We were suppose to have a coordinator, Misty, but she never showed up. We did get our money back for that. Photographer was late and missed all ‘getting ready photos’, photo booth often ran out of paper even though the attendant was present. Many guests stated that they requested songs, that were never played. My brother in law had to coordinate and take lead. Very unprofessional and unable to reach. I have called, emailed, texted requesting status of video and photos over the past few weeks with no reply or feedback. I am very laid back but it was just unbelievable how uncoordinated and unprofessional this group was. Maybe I will feel different once I get my photos and video back, although it has been 9 weeks and no reply or feedback from them.

We had Josh for our wedding yesterday and he was absolutely phenomenal! We couldn’t have asked for better service. He was extremely accommodating and made sure everything ran smoothly. He kept in constant communication and was so professional! We definitely plan to keep all information for Complete Weddings + Events for any future use and referrals!

Josh made planning and securing the event services stress-free. He also made the event a wonderful experience by clearly communicating with our guests and being willing to go above and beyond on our big day.

I cannot say enough great thing but here’s a few ! Iloved all the staff that helped on our wedding day! Anthony hands down the best DJ!! The music was amazing! He really wanted to make the day go smoothly. Matt and Jane were our video, and they were amazing too. They worked hard at getting all those detailed shots and game planned with the photographer to make sure they were stepping on each others toes! I loved the team work! Misty from the photo booth was so sweet made sure we had full glasses all night ! Thank you guys!!!

Josh from Complete Weddings + Events was a great DJ!! He was very attentive to keeping the reception on schedule, was flexible with last minute changes, and took our music preferences into consideration. In particular, he took initiative in making sure our sparkler send-off was timed correctly and helped with coordinating it (even though we had never talked about this beforehand!). If you're looking for a Milwaukee wedding DJ, Josh is your guy. Complete was not only much more affordable than any of the other estimates I got for Milwaukee but also very professional in all their services.

A BIG SHOUT OUT to Misty Dawn Hill Kingsley & Josh Kingsley from Complete Weddings + Events of Milwaukee ! They worked so hard to make our Royal Wedding Day so magical! Everything from Coordination, DJ, Photo Booth, Uplighting, Jillian Johnson with photography & Josh Wolf the videographer. This right here is a great team and great to work with! If you ever have any type of event contact for the most professional event experience ever! Thank you all, From, Mr. Kevin Hladilek & Mrs. Candice Hladilek

They were incredible! So friendly and I really loved the girls energy that was there!! I love how the booth was set up! And the overall experience was just amazing!! Thank you so much for making my wedding even that more fun!!

I love that Complete Weddings offered all different types of services! Our DJ was AMAZING! He was so friendly & funny! He had 2 plates of appetizers waiting for my husband and I at my our head table. He even carried my plate from the buffet table to my spot and bought us a round of drinks! He was very in tune to what the group needed to get out onto the dance floor and party! What made the night even more fun was that he played my husbands and his brothers favorite childhood song “Bought it on eBay” by weird Al, and he noticed that from listening to the best man speech’s. I couldn’t recommend a better DJ, we had lots of people ask about using him in the future! Thank you for making our night so fantastic!!

Everything was perfect! Both Austin and I could not be more happy and grateful for our DJs. From first setting up, the music while we were getting our final touches, to the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, etc. They were extremely friendly and considerate. They brought us drinks during photos, while waiting for dinner, and even carried my plate for me! Talk about AMAZING!!! Every step of the way they were there and making sure we were good and if we needed anything.

We had Emily, Deanna, and Jill. All three arrived on time, Emily did make-up and Jill and Deanna did hair. It was perfect! My hair and makeup lasted all day and all of the bridesmaids raved about how wonderful the team was from The Knick Salon. Thank you!

Misty was incredible! Misty was on-time, was set up early, and was wonderful from start to finish. Complete Weddings + Events communicated with us often, got us our link early, and went above and beyond to make our day special. We can't wait to see everything and watch the video together- enjoying the moments and reliving our special day. Misty felt like family at our reception and made sure that she got all of the speeches and all of the shots she needed. There are not enough thank you's- THANK YOU SO MUCH!

We had Josh for our DJ at our wedding and my husband and I both said after our ceremony, before we were announced, and the next day: "Our DJ is awesome!" He went way above and beyond his duties as a DJ. He made sure when we were taking pictures we both had a drink in our hand, were able to taste our appetizers before they were gone during cocktail hour, and he made last minute additions the night before the wedding for me! He listened to requests, he read the crowd great, and he always was asking us what we wanted, what we didn't want. He made our day stress free and I couldn't recommend Complete DJ services more, and Josh! Even during wedding planning, customer service was so helpful and responsive. They never seemed annoyed at all my questions and offered me discounts even when they had expired! CHOOSE Complete and choose Josh!

We used Complete Weddings + Events for our DJ services for our 11/21/2020 wedding. I had been to several weddings previously with Jeremy as the DJ, and I knew immediately I would want to hire him for my own. Jeremy knows how to keep the dance floor full and keep the schedule of events running smoothly. Not only does he provide amazing DJ services, but he also emcee's the entire event. Aside from their outstanding product, the staff at Complete (especially Amanda!) communicated frequently with me and were always available to answer any questions. I am so appreciative to their attentiveness and professionalism!

We had used Complete for our wedding on August 1st! They provided uplighting, photo booth and DJ services. I honestly have nothing but nice things to say about them. It was everything we could have asked for! The preparation prior included a few phone calls and a meeting with the DJ. We unfortunately did not get to meet the staff before the wedding day due to COVID concerns but after talking on the phone with them, I had full confidence everything was going to go well. They were very patient and willing to answer all my questions. The equipment was set up prior to the guests showing up, and as soon as the wedding party arrived, they were ready to go. Our DJ Jeremy was very interactive, and a great entertainer which made the party a success! He also came to us when we initially arrived and grabbed us a drink from the bar (which contributed to one of our favorite pictures so thank you for that)! Misty was also a tremendous help with photo booth. Thank you for making our day a huge success!

Josh DJ’ed our reception last night and he kept the dance floor PACKED all night long, he was great at reading the crowd and keeping it high energy. I was blown away by how many people were dancing all night long! He was also very friendly, professional, and laid back when I met him in person. You take a bit of a risk when you don’t get to meet your DJ until 2 weeks before, but I felt so reassured that we were in good hands after meeting Josh. We had an awesome experience and couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Amazing!! Anthony was the best DJ! He kept the reception moving and having an amazing time :) He even checked on us to see if we needed water! I would accommodate Anthony for every wedding!
