We used Complete for the DJ service, and they made everything easy for our wedding day. The planning portal helped us to be on the same page, and it was really easy to communicate with Darcy to make last-minute changes. Overall, the music was great and they "read the room" really well to get the crowd engaged!

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, 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!

Cici was amazing went above and beyond our expectations.

The entire process was seamless and very easy with their online website! Everything was straight forward and there was no confusion. Mael did a great job of making sure we were in the loop with what all was going on and made sure we had a great day on our special day! We will continue to recommend Complete to our friends and family!

Communication. Kim was wonderful. Kept us on track. Very responsive.

We loved working with Darcy! We had a frame work of what we wanted and he made it happen. The meeting prior to the wedding was very detailed. My husband and I have very different tastes in music and he managed to mesh both or styles and read the crowd well. He was a pleasure to work with and we have already been recommending his work!

Very responsive staff with very clear description of services and prices. Amal, our DJ, was awesome! Very responsive to us as well and did an excellent job of reading and providing the crowd with what they wanted. Thanks for an awesome DJ experience!

Hope loved working with you and can’t wait to be part of your big day.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Kim as our wedding planner, and we can't recommend her highly enough. From day one, she was attentive, organized, and genuinely invested in bringing out vision to life. We had some unique vendor needs and an unconventional schedule, but Kim juggled everything with grace and precision. Her ability to adapt and keep everything running smoothly made all the difference -- our wedding simply wouldn't have been the same without her. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Kim is it!

Sue, Kim, and the team are very easy to communicate with and are super transparent through the entire process. They made the planning process a lot easier for us! We had Zeke as our DJ and he did an absolutely fantastic job. Tons of energy and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We had tons of compliments!

Caitlin was great! She was a lot of fun to work with and navigated some technical difficulties with ease. She was so sweet and helpful and went with the flow! We didn’t have a super structured day and changed a lot day of and she pivoted quickly and smoothly. And the note she left was so sweet! We hope that she continues to grow as a DJ/ within your company! The only thing that wasn’t communicated to us clearly that was kind of a bummer was the restrictions on what music could be played. Most songs my husband requested couldn’t be played either because of language or you couldn’t get them. We understand why, but communication of these stipulations would have been appreciated in advance. Thank you for your flexibility and everything throughout this process! We appreciate the quick replies and understanding!!

Eli was so so amazing! I can’t brag about him enough - he was so easy going, helpful, took initiative, fun, a great hype-man, he even helped the DJ tear down at the end of the night. He was just ON IT! He was honestly our top 2 favorite vendors. We will refer everyone to him in particular!

Cody was our DJ, and he did an outstanding job! He was very fun, outgoing, personable and talented. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a professional DJ who goes above and beyond to bring the best vibes to your wedding day! Complete weddings was very organized, professional, and extremely easy to work with. They made what can easily be an overwhelming and confusing process very stress free and seamless! 10/10 in every way.
