Bry and Meggan made the day extremely special and went with everything we wanted! They are incredible human beings! I didn’t get the chance to spend much time at the Photo Booth, but from what I heard everyone enjoyed it

nd keeping the party going. She did music for our ceremony and reception and even made announcements for us throughout the evening. Adam was our photographer and we couldn’t be happier. Our engagement photos were stunning and we got them back in great time! We are very excited to see our photos from our big day! It was such a huge stress relief for us on our big day to have a DJ and photographer that we didn’t have to worry about because they were both doing such a phenomenal job! Would definitely recommend!!

We hired our wedding DJ through Complete Wedding and Events and LOVED HER! Jennifer, was exactly what we were looking for. She did the music for our ceremony and reception. The ver...
y first time we spoke with Jennifer we got right into details. She kept track of every single thing we said we wanted. She was immediately so kind, interested, and excited for us. She even asked us questions we hadn't even thought of! She gave us many ideas to incorporate into our wedding but didn't push and totally respected if we didn't use them. After our first phone call, she even gave us a list of "homework" (things we had talked about that we didn't have the answers to), and made sure we didn't forget anything amongst the chaos of planning a wedding! And our wedding day truly went PERFECTLY because of her. Our ceremony music was absolutely flawless, even when we had a family hiccup and the processional went a little longer than expected, Jen looped our music so no one would know there was a flaw. During our reception she was incredibly fun and energetic the ENTIRE night. She also made sure she knew our timeline and it went smoothly. Jen even joined us on the dance floor and kept the crowd energetic all night. She also played one more song for us after her cut off time. We can not recommend her enough!!! Thank you so much Jen!

DJ and Photo booth were both awesome, DJ gave us a personal letter towards the end of the night that was very thoughtful and cool. He was great. He interacted with the guests well....
Photographers were very interactive and considerate of our wants. We had some time crunches which weren't completely their fault but maybe just needed to pay a little closer attention to the start time of the ceremony. Otherwise they were very friendly and found time to take picture requests, had great senses of humor, and were enjoyable to be around. We could tell they had experience and knew how to set up everyone for good pictures.People had a great time at the photo booth and she communicated very well.

one at Complete made my life much easier and as stress free as possible. Photographer: Eli had a calm, cool, and collected vibe that just made our day stress-free. We received our photos so fast and they are... stunning! Videographer: Travis Walsh (& Isaiah) were outstanding. We absolutely loved their energy and have never felt more comfortable around a camera. They captured everything we asked for and more! We cannot recommend their work enough! DJ: James did an amazing job with keeping people on the dance floor and making the night lively right until the very end. Great energy and very adaptable to all of my special requests! Photo Booth: Kiki was awesome. Great props and great design on the photo strips. The booth was a hit and stayed busy the whole time. Loved that there was the option to have printed and/or mobile copies of the photos and that we were provided copies of everything at the end!

ut the whole process. We used the DJ, Photographer, Photo Booth, & Coordinator services and everything exceeded our expectations! On the day of our wedding, everything ran smoothly and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. The staff all were so fun and enhanced our reception by keeping the party going! Our photographer was so kind and made sure we were comfortable. We are so excited to see the results! The DJs were a blast and played all the best music to keep our guests dancing and having a great time. Our coordinator was amazing and made sure everything went off without a hitch, including helping with the schedule, boutonnières, bustling my dress, and just keeping the vibes positive! The Photo Booth was one of our guests favorite parts of the night and we loved seeing all the pictures. We absolutely loved working with this company and would highly recommend their services for anyone planning a wedding!

What a fun night!!! Pat was our DJ and he was so amazing!! He was super flexible trying to figure out how to get to the ceremony space (at the top of the vineyard which required a ...
lot of electrical cords) He was also down to play playlists we put together of meaningful songs we wanted pre ceremony and dinner. He even vibed off a playlist we had of what we liked for the dance party. He was super engaging with guests without doing a bunch of games and monologues (a no-no for us) We had a smaller guest list (60 people) and the dance floor was always busy! Highly recommend!!

hem both and the attention to detail given. The online forms available made it really easy to know what was needed and allowed us time to really think about what we wanted. Being able to pay everything online in increments was also very helpful. In all, we loved the night and a large part of that was Complete's work.
Thank you!!!
