Complete Weddings + Events San Diego

Complete back in October 2023 to lock a DJ down for our March 2025 wedding and were quickly put into contact with Garrison. Everything was very low maintenance and smooth until early December 2024 when Claudia reached out to us and said Garrison had moved out of state in September 2024, and Complete had not notified us until then. To their credit, Complete did then provide us with a list of other available DJs and offered to set up meetings so we could find our perfect fit, and let us know which options had the most similar style to Garrison. Ultimately we chose Christian Norton as our DJ, and we can’t say enough about how great he was. When we had phone calls with him, Christian was very easy to speak to, was very clear about his style and how that would complement the type of music that my wife and I wanted to play. We meshed very well and Christian heard us out on our “Must Play”s, “Do Not Play”s, and when to play specific songs. There were times where we or our vendors had issues getting in touch with Christian, and the stress caused by that lack of communication was amplified by the quick switch to Christian and how close we were to our wedding day. In the end we got all the information we needed on time and everything turned out well, and as tough as the quick switch was on us we know that it can’t have been easy for Christian to keep everything straight either. When we say that Christian was the perfect party DJ for our wedding, we truly mean perfect! From the time open dancing started up until the end of the night, people stayed on the dance floor and they loved the playlist. We’ve been to too many weddings with dead dance floors, and we made it clear with Christian that we wanted to keep people on there and have everything feel like a party. Christian more than delivered, and guests throughout the night and in the weeks following our wedding told us how great Christian was and how great the music was. Christian played everything that we wanted and chose the perfect tracks to fill in the rest of the open dancing time, and was very good about not taking song requests from our guests (unless we gave him the OK). We would absolutely recommend Christian for anyone’s wedding. The sound quality for our outdoor ceremony was clear and loud, the transition to our indoor reception seemed seamless, there were no technical issues that we noticed, and most importantly Christian was easy to work with and kept the party going all night.

make sure he got it right, and really did a good job reading the dance floor. Our guests were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. Can't recommend Christian enough!

y responsive to my questions and needs. Claudia worked with the production team to help me with an extra request I had. Eric did a stellar job as our DJ. His approach with being upbeat and positive, following the details, reading the crowd and checking in with me made me feel so honored as the bride. Sarah was incredible and insightful as our photographer, and Robert was on top of it with excellence, even providing extra footage for our guests at the reception. And the photo booth was a hit! I highly recommend Complete Weddings and Events!

phone call, to the day of the wedding, they were absolutely great!

popping all night just like we wished for. I would highly recommend Christian to any future brides out there!!

most amazing photographer, kept the vibes good, made it seem easy and fun! Robert crushed the video we can’t wait to see it, him and Sean worked amazing together. Garrison did an awesome job at getting and keeping everyone on the dance floor!

th us to get everything we wanted. We could not have asked for a better DJ!

ful.

!

dvice, and song choices when we needed them. The day of the wedding he was the life of the party, and did everything perfectly and as we asked. I would definitely hire him for another event and recommend him to all of you out there! Thank you George for helping us create the most magical day!! <3

storm right before the ceremony and George handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and grace. When we decided to keep the ceremony outside during the storm I made sure it was okay with George and he said "I weatherproofed everything the second it started sprinkling, whatever you want is what we're going to do." All of the guests raved about how great George was and our wedding would not have been complete without him. As for the company as a whole, from the second we booked them, we had constant communication and updates and had full support along the way. All of our questions and concerns were answered in a timely manner, and everyone I spoke with was friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed like they cared. If I could give a score higher than 5 stars, I would.

ect and he had everyone from such a wide range of ages on the dancefloor all night. We would not have had it any other way! 10/10 would recommend to any and everyone 💕

with an appropriate order and introduced some of his own song ideas that fit in perfectly for what we wanted. He was like a mind reader and he was instrumental in assisting on the day of in overall coordination and flow of the wedding event. James, the Photobooth technician was great as well. He took initiative and was an asset hosting and assisting the Photobooth .

.) Shane was still going hard! His professionalism was great, and I would recommend him for any event.

h up of two different songs for me and my husbands first dance which came out great. Highly recommend!!

sure all of our music needs were being met while also having a wealth of knowledge and fantastic suggestions to help us with the process. He also has an amazing personality and a kindness to him that cannot be taught as well. 10/10 experience!

om each set up throughout the night and kept the night moving perfectly. In terms of music, Garrison did an AMAZING job. People were on the dance floor the entire night and it was actually hard for me to leave the dance floor since every song was a hit! Garrison did such a good job at listening to our music taste/looking at our playlist but still making the DJ set his own. He knew our vibe so all of the music was spot on and exactly what we wanted to dance to. We truly had the most incredible wedding and a huge part of that was due to the incredible music vibes. Thank you Complete Weddings, it was an absolute pleasure working with you all!

or 2 venues and I had the pleasure to work with George, Michael, and Christian. We easily did over 200 weddings together. They are one of my favorite Dj services to work with . Their DJs are always on time, professional, and get the party going. I would recommend this DJ service to anybody who needs a DJ for their special event. They make wedding days for Coordinators and brides easy.

ire planning process was not well structured and we didn't get to meet or talk to our DJ until 1.5 weeks before our wedding. We even had to chase down the coordinator and reminded them to reach out to our DJ since the DJ hadn't initiated contact. We had some questions that would've been nice to address early on but since Complete left everything to the last minute, by then everything was already planned out. In the one Zoom call we had the week before our wedding, we detailed out our song choices, the order of the songs, and our vision for the ceremony very clearly but just because you explain something to someone, doesn't necessarily mean they get it. On the day of the wedding, so many things went wrong with the DJ service. To start, I had a song for my 3 bridesmaids to walk out to and that song did not get played until the last bridesmaid was almost at the end of the aisle. Since the song played late and only played for 15 seconds tops, there was an awkward transition between that song and the next song. If that was all, I probably would have overlooked it and moved on but the biggest disappointment came from the DJ playing the WRONG song for my entrance! The bride's entrance is the highlight of the ceremony and DJ George messed it up. He explained that there was an issue with the song not playing (sound not coming out) and it somehow ended up skipping onto the next song. George was there 2 hours early to set up and could have run a quick rehearsal to ensure there was no issue with any of the songs so I'm not sure if this was just one of his off days but it was completely unacceptable. For our first dance, George also started the song a bit too early so we went into the dance a bit off beat and since we already had enough disappointment, I felt I could not let our first dance also be ruined so I stopped midway and requested to restart the song and thankfully the dance turned out beautiful afterward. Moving onto the centerpiece game, DJ George completely misunderstood the assignment. We only wanted 1 song to be played but he played several songs under the impression it's an elimination game so the game dragged out longer than we expected it to. We also didn't want the loose change from the centerpiece game. The idea was whoever had the money at the end got to pick if they wanted to keep the money or take the centerpiece home. If they pick the centerpiece, the money goes back to the person who originally volunteered it and vice versa if they pick the money then the centerpiece goes to the person who volunteered the money. Lastly we had a list of top 10 must play songs and needless to say, not all of those songs were played therefore we deeply regret booking Complete for our wedding and are unlikely to recommend their DJ service.

y detailed requests - regarding our playlists. He was kind and kept the party exactly where we wanted it all night. Highly recommended for quality and cost.

our florists left early!Thank you for making our day so special!

e pristine and maintained perfectly. Amy was our cordinator and she brought it all together. The venue make its simple organize and you don’t have to oversee a bunch of vendors. I was a very stress free bride because of the help, amazing staff and family that brought it all together!!

we were looking for. I would highly recommend to anyone getting married in the San Diego area. Our guests are still talking about how great our DJ was. Thank you!

hanged a few things around. He made sure to keep the flow going. I forgot the gentleman's name that took care of the photobooth, but all my guests loved him! He was even so kind to stay a little longer so that I could get some last minute photos with some of my guests before we all left. If I ever have a need for a DJ or Photobooth, I will be reaching out!

to place the train. My family adored him and he was truly a delight to have in our wedding. He is still profession and so easy to get along with. I am so excited to see the photos he took but I can say he is a keeper and he deserves a raise! Robert was a sweet guy who put together a wonderful mini recap video to play during dinner. We are so excited to see what he was able to capture from our big day. He was very friendly and he and Shaun even helped my maid of honor & matron to bustle my dress. It was a pleasure working with him! Christian was such a sweet fella and he really was so detailed with his work. He did such an amazing job at reading our crowd's vibe and picking the best tunes for everyone. We had so many compliments on his DJing and he did such an amazing job. He was so friendly and he had such a positive attitude. We loved working with Christian!

do was smile! Our photographer was absolutely incredible. She was fun, energetic, professional, accommodating, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Complete!

the start of booking with Complete Wedding + Events San Diego to the end it was perfect. The company has great communication and customer service. A month before the wedding I noticed I did not book enough time for our DJ and Complete Wedding + Events San Diego helped get it straighten out right away, with no stress on me. I really loved how organized Christian was with our music selection and would let us put input into everything. I am so happy I chose this company, thank you for making our wedding so special!

was feeling and asked if I needed anything

ring our wedding ceremony and reception and I cannot say enough positive things about their team.We put together a few Spotify playlists to share with Eric and DJ Christian that were probably longer than they needed to be and they were very consultative with what we were going for. They gave us great feedback and guidance throughout each step of the process and were very patient and easy to work with. Eric performed our ceremony songs with some super talented guitarists (acoustic and electric) and they nailed every song that we requested. There was not a dry eye at the ceremony and they helped make an already beautiful day even better. DJ Christian was so fun and easy to work with when putting together our first dance songs, dinner playlists, and he absolutely crushed the dance hour. He made sure that there was music being played that every could dance to, from our older family members to our younger cousins -- everyone was having a blast. DJ Christian did a fantastic job of getting to know who we were to cater to our tastes and vision for the wedding. He was also able to mix in a few specific song requests that my wife and I had made.

reminders each month leading up to your wedding. You don't get to meet your vendors until 1-2 weeks before your wedding, which can be a little nerve wracking but they do provide you with forms to fill out with everything your vendors need to know for the big day. Also, if you had any questions or concerns, the owner would schedule a call with you and at the end he would leave you completely at ease 😊 For photography, we had Taylor as our main photographer and Brittney as our 2nd shooter. Both very sweet and professional. Both gave great direction without being too pushy and always kept it light and fun. My favorite moment was when my 2 year old niece was just not cooperating with photos, and Taylor calmed her down by letting her take a photo and getting her to smile. It was just so sweet and something I've never seen a photographer do ❤️ We also got previews of the photos 1-2 days after which was great because then we could start sharing them right away 🤩 For DJ/MC, we had Christian. Instantly loved him from the first call. He was super friendly and understood what we wanted completely. I was so worried about the dance floor being empty most of the time and it wasn't! One guest even said he loved every single song that was played. My sister in law felt he carefully picked songs to match the vibe and dancers, which meant a lot to her as a mom. Thank you so much everyone! You definitely made our wedding complete 😉

c selections you want for each part. Christian was so helpful with helping us find songs and help cater to our guests. He also periodically checked in with the groom and I throughout the night which I liked as well. I would say our guests weren't the dancing type, but Christian managed to pick songs that got a lot of people on the dance floor and was able to feel the vibe and make adjustments right then and there if the wedding guests weren't feeling a particular song. Overall, amazing experience!

way you want it! We also really enjoyed how it was a very affordable package :). We highly recommend them to any bride and groom! Side note- don't worry if the people they assign to you (DJ, photographer, etc) respond to you <1 month away from your wedding. It does get a little stressful, but they all have so much experience just one meeting with them is enough to make your wedding day a dream come true! More Specific details: DJ- George Washington He was absolutely great to work with! He was funny, energetic, lively, and organized. He even came with us to our afterparty and partied with us! He played all the music we wanted and was a great emcee at our wedding. We are so grateful we had him as our DJ! Photographer- Emma Gonzalez Emma took amazing photos as shown in this review. I really liked how she would sometimes stage us if we needed help and her camera was quiet so it wouldn't distract us. She did a great job getting candids and of other people in the ceremony. We told her we wanted shots of everything at our wedding during our first meeting and she definitely delivered more than what we expected. Sometimes I felt like I couldn't be as happy as I wanted to in photos because she looked a little annoyed at us sometimes. Other than that though, her photography skill was great! Thanks Emma! Videographer- Ben Smith Ben was very fun, friendly, and also a great videographer. Our video turned out great because of him! I just wished he helped us with our instagram reel on my phone a little better. I emailed him before but I guess he didn't read that email. For brides that want to do instagram reels, just have a friend do it or someone who makes reels often instead of the videographer. Other than that, Ben did a fantastic job capturing all the special moments at our wedding! :) Photobooth manager- Kylie Hischer Kylie was great! She was very responsive and she helped us create a photo strip that tailored to our style. She also helped get the line moving and was great setting up the backdrop and props. I thought Kylie was great at managing the photobooth and would definitely recommend her!

tly, FUN. He brought our wedding to life, and we received dozens of complements on the music, and because of George. There is no other DJ that I would recommend in San Diego.

for. I highly recommend them for any wedding or event you may have. Thank you guys for an awesome night

the song the bride walks down the aisle to AND the couples’ first dance song. We don’t usually give negative reviews for anything especially for a vendor that was on the preferred DJ vendor list for our venue Twin Oaks Gardens in San Marcos. But as we know that weddings are one of the most important memories and days in a person’s life so we felt like it was necessary to mention this. The DJ started the bride processional song before the wedding party was done walking down the aisle. The flower girls and ring bearers had not even walked down the aisle yet. My day-of wedding coordinator was with me directing the wedding party down the aisle when this happened and we both literally looked at each other at the same time in shock when we heard the processional song play before it was time. I can understand not getting the background music or honestly even the pre-processional song perfectly but the song the bride walks down the aisle to is one of the most important parts of a wedding… On top of that they played the WRONG song for our first dance! Our song is “Dressed Up In White” by CAL but they played “I am Yours” by Andy Grammer which doesn’t resemble our first dance song in name or artist. We had taken dance lessons for our first dance song too. There were a few good notes about the experience with Complete Weddings. The booking process was organized and Eric Raftery who was our officiant and MC was nice. We do not remember the name of the DJ but he was not formally introduced to us on the wedding day (perhaps because we were so busy with wedding day events). We appreciate the time Eric took to make sure my husband and I felt ready for our wedding day through phone calls. We also did like the Online Event Manager which allowed us to input our preferences but we are not sure how much effort was put into reading our responses since they got our first dance song wrong. My husband and I spent a lot of time carefully choosing each of our wedding vendors except for this one because our venue required that the DJ came from their preferred vendor list for noise control purposes. We saw many raving reviews for Complete Weddings and were very hopeful that the one vendor we had to use from the preferred vendor list would be just as amazing as the other vendors we picked but were disappointed. We still had an amazing time with our family & friends. We just felt like all our other amazing vendors were genuinely there for us and made our day seamless but Complete Weddings + Events made our day a little more “bumpy” than it should’ve been. They did not really apologize for the mistakes either. I feel like a vendor that truly cares about their client’s experience would never make the mistake of getting the bride’s processional or first dance song wrong.

guests when they requested songs since we told him only to play songs that matched the vibe (and not all requests did). We heard so many great complaints about him from our guests and we couldn't agree more! Thank you, George, for making the night spectacular! We cannot wait to have you at our wedding next year!!!

ry as my bridal party was away. She took a million photos and took her time with us for our First Look. We can’t wait to get all of our photos back! Very professional, on time and excellent communication. Highly recommend this company for your event.

so soo accommodating to my husband and I, always being there for any questions we had and actually using the music we requested and everything! Cristian was the best!!
