It's nice to have a one-stop shop and the vendors all seem to work together. They were all nice 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.

Our first point of contact was Kim, she was extremely helpful, informative, and responsive! Our DJ, Cici, was amazing! She checked in on us when she arrived and even grabbed drink refills for us during dinner! We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ for our wedding! She was incredibly attentive to the crowd and knew exactly how to keep the energy up. She was amazing at reading the room and playing the perfect mix of songs for everyone. So many of our guests commented on how much fun they had! Highly recommend for anyone looking to keep the party going all night long.

Thank you so much for your kind words, Jadyn! We’re so happy to hear that you felt supported every step of the way. Creating a comfortable, stress-free experience with clear communication is something our team truly prioritizes, so it means a lot to know that came through. We’re grateful you trusted us to be part of your day and appreciate your recommendation more than you know. Wishing you all the best as you start this next chapter!

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 seamless 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.

Hi Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review—it truly means a lot to me and our entire team. I’m especially grateful that you took the time to share both the highlights *and* your constructive feedback. That kind of insight is exactly what helps us continue to grow and improve. I’m so happy to hear how much you loved your overall team, and it means the world that you’ve already recommended us to your sister—what an honor Your kind words about Katie absolutely made my day. She really does have a gift for staying calm under pressure and taking care of every detail, and I’ll be sure to pass along your message (and your suggestion). We’re so lucky to have her on our team! Regarding the DJ experience, I completely understand your disappointment, especially after the time and care you put into curating your playlists. I did take the time to review the song log from your event—our system actually time-stamps each song played throughout the night—and I can confirm that several of your requested songs were included. That said, it’s very possible that those moments happened while you were connecting with guests or away from the dance floor, and I can absolutely appreciate how that would still feel like they were missed. Your feedback is important, and we’ll continue working with our DJs to strike that perfect balance between personal requests and reading the crowd. Thank you as well for your notes on the photo booth. I’m so glad you loved the experience overall (and that photo book—such a fun keepsake!). I do appreciate you mentioning the pens—this is actually the first time I’m hearing that feedback, and it’s incredibly helpful. We’ll definitely be looking into alternative options to ensure a better experience moving forward. I also appreciate your note about props and will share that with our team as we continue to refresh and improve our selections. Elizabeth, thank you again for trusting us with such an important day. It was truly a joy to be part of your celebration, and we’re so grateful for your kind words, honesty, and support. Wishing you and your husband a lifetime of love and happiness Warmly, Sue & the Complete Weddings + Events Team

Jeremy was an amazing DJ and emcee! He really calmed my wife and me down when we were stressed about everything working right. He was flexible with specific song requests, he moved the crowd along smoothly after the ceremony and in the reception, and kept our dancing crowd happy. Such a sweet guy and a real pleasure to work with.

She has such a wonderful way of making people feel comfortable while capturing those genuine, meaningful moments throughout the event.

Darcy stepped in very last minute after another dj was sick. He did such an amazing job and was always checking to make sure that everything was okay and what could be done. I don’t think our day could’ve gone better!!!

The team at Complete Weddings and Events was very attentive and helpful with the services they provided. It was also nice to be able to bundle some of the vendors we were going to work with, to have a few less contacts to keep track of.

I brought a coordinator in for day of assistance. My needs and expectations were low and really only wanted back-up for day of. I was wrong. Kim was more involved than I expected. We had several meetings prior to the wedding, she was in contact with our vendors and even came to the rehearsal which I was not expecting. At the wedding, she was asked to take care of a delicate matter and did so with compassion and tact. At the reception she was very assistive communicating with vendors especially the DJ. Later in the reception, when needs were low, she went to the dining room and boxed up my decor and centerpieces. This saved us so much time at the end when we were ready to leave. That was unexpected and much appreciated.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad to hear that Kim was able to provide more support than you expected and help make your day run smoothly. Our coordinators truly care about making the wedding day stress-free so you can focus on enjoying every moment. It’s wonderful to hear how Kim helped behind the scenes — from connecting with your vendors and attending the rehearsal to handling sensitive situations with compassion and making sure everything wrapped up smoothly at the end of the night. Those little details can make such a big difference, and we’re thrilled she was able to take that extra stress off your shoulders. Thank you for trusting Complete Weddings + Events to be part of your special day. We wish you both a lifetime of happiness together!
