They did a wonderful job at our wedding. Our DJ was Trey and we couldnt have asked for a better experience. He kept the crowd going and the vibes right all night long. He let our son help him DJ and made sure everyone had a great time and felt included.

Sue & Thurman were so helpful in coordinating our big day, and quick to answer all of my questions. We used Complete for our photographer & DJ Andy was our DJ, he was so thorough when planning out all the music & he kept our dance floor full for the entire night. We got SO many compliments on the music! Andres was our photographer. He was very laid back and fun during photos & made sure to get every shot we wanted. We can’t wait to see all of our photos! I highly recommend Complete Weddings + Events for all of your wedding needs. I couldn’t be more happy with all of their staff members & would definitely hire them again!

We had Andy as our DJ and Emily as our Photographer! Both did an amazing job and were so friendly to work with! Andy was very fun to work with, super nice, and kept the night moving seamlessly! He played all the requests that we had and did a great job overall. Emily was also super fun and friendly to work with! She kept a great positive attitude despite the day being very chilly and rainy. Sue was very communicative throughout the entire process and made sure everything was good to go. I would definitely go through Complete again!!

Our DJ Kevin was absolutely fantastic. He went above and beyond in helping make sure our reception went according to plan. We had three meetings pre-reception to go over timelines songs and by the end I truly felt that Kevin really understood the vibe we were going for for our reception. Day of Kevin was incredible, from offering an extra set of hands while we were decorating the venue to holding the door for guests and answering their questions, it really felt like it was his personal mission to ensure everyone was having a good time. I had more than one person ask if he was part of the family! He put the Complete in Complete Weddings + Events for us. I would absolutely recommend Complete Weddings + Events to anyone looking to plan a stress free event.

Eli was AMAZING to work with!! He was so kind, friendly, professional, thoughtful, and excited. We could go on and on about working with him. We are so glad that we decided to add a videographer for our wedding. Can’t wait to see the finished product!

Sue was very quick to respond to all my messages and requests. She was very thorough throughout the whole planning promise and made communication seamless. John Ross, my videographer provided by Complete, was AMAZING! He jumped in with creative ideas and angles, made suggestions to photographers, and gave us instant clips and photos from the day. Very kind and talented! Highly recommend using Complete for videography!

Kevin went above and beyond what was expected of him as our DJ for our wedding reception. His enthusiasm and reliability made our experience stress-free as we knew we were in good hands! He was very considerate and responsive of our needs leading up to the day and made sure that everyone had an absolute blast at our reception! We received so many compliments on how fun the dance was thanks to Kevin. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone I know who needs a DJ for their wedding!

They are a great company to work with and they make you feel comfortable. They help you through the process. Our DJ (Trey) was great and flexible when we changed things up on him.The only thing that we didnt like was the mic wasnt always turned on or up so it was hard to hear at times

We hired Complete Wedding and Events to videotape our wedding day and we are so happy with how they handled our day! Sekou was our videographer and he did a great job communicating with us before the wedding and throughout the day, he even kept us laughing through the nervous parts and kept the mood light! We cant wait to get our video back and continue to relive our beautiful day!

We just want to say thank you for everything you did for our wedding. Booking Complete Weddings + Events was one of the best decisions we made. We had rescheduled our wedding due to Covid and ended up changing locations to Des Moines about 4 months before. Sue and our DJ, Brandon, were so wonderful to work with. They quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had. The forms sent out were so helpful and made the planning process easy. Brandon really went above and beyond. We will definitely recommend your DJ Services in the future!! Thanks again!

Working with Complete Weddings and events was great and took a lot of stress off of my husband and me. The forms that are needed to be filled out are really great and easy to use and keeps those details all in one spot. We booked the photographer and DJ (though we didnt end up using the dj do to having to cut our guest list way way down). On that note Sue was so understanding and worked with us while we navigated what we could do with the CDC guidelines changing a week before our wedding.

Complete Weddings and Events is amazing to work with!Complete did the brand video for my balloon business and it is wonderful.On the day of the shoot the videographer, Eli, came with me to an event, we only had one chance to get the footage and he got every shot we needed. He was very professional and captured the essence of my brand.Sue and Nicole are a joy to work with and I would recommend them to anyone!

Great price, fabulous DJ. Ours was a Birthday/Halloween Costume Party rather than a wedding. I didn’t have to give Aerius (DJ) anything more than an idea of genres and time periods for the music. He took off with that, and put together a great night of music and fun! We only had the DJ (no photography/videography), but I wouldn’t hesitate to try them for other things based on our experience.

We loved having complete at our wedding. We found them at a wedding show in Des Moines and were able to get a great deal on their services. From the beginning they were very helpful, providing planning sheets and contact via email to help us plan how our wedding will go and to answer any questions. Getting closer to our day they gave us the names and contact information for our vendors and when I lost that information they were quick to send it to me again. We were able to chat with Quinton, our DJ, via Zoom a week before our day to iron out some details including the timing of the evening and the type of music we wanted (we have an odd taste in music and he was able to accommodate us without any issue, I walked down to Hamilton and Ryan Bingham was the artist for our first dance song). Emily was our photographer for the day. She was great! She coordinated really well with our private videographer and even accommodated some odd poses we requested. She made sure we had time to mingle with our guests as well as time for photos. During our dances I barely noticed her, but I could see her working hard on the sidelines. She really liked her. We also got the photo booth and up lighting. We were able to get the lighting in mint green, which was one of our wedding colors and it really put a nice polish on our decorations. The photo booth was definitely the biggest hit of the night. Andrea and Misty were super friendly and were even seen dancing when they werent busy. We received a copy of all the photo strip in a book with notes from our guests, which was one of our favorite items from the night. The pictures were a blast to look through. Overall, will definitely recommend to all our friends.

Overall, the experience was calming and fun! Both the Photographer and DJ met with us before our big day to cover all the small details. It helped keep us at ease since we were planning our own wedding. All the Complete staff members were amazing throughout the day of our wedding and reception. Outstanding service!

We use Complete for our wedding DJ and were not disappointed. My husband and I have a tendency to avoid the typical wedding song choices and games, and our DJ was accommodating in helping us make that happen. We didnt only want music that was on the Top 40, and he was really receptive to that!

We are so happy we chose to have Complete Weddings and Events do the videography for our wedding! Sue has been so helpful every step of the way and has made things so easy! She has even reached out to me regarding having to reschedule our date due to COVID-19, and offered to help with other things wedding-related. We can’t wait to have them capture our special day!

My husband and I were very lucky to have Complete Wedding + Events do our Photography and to be our DJ. They were so wonderful to work with and made our Wedding day so special.We had Mike as our Photographer and he was amazing. Mike captured our Wedding day so perfect. He listened to what I wanted, and he made it so fun. He is a very funny guy. I am so happy that he got to capture our special day that I will cherish forever. I have gotten so many compliments from my family and friends on his pictures that he took!We were lucky to have Derek as our DJ. All my guests had an amazing time on the dance floor. Derek did such an amazing job adjusting the music to make sure the dance floor was full! It was such a fun night that we will never forget!We are so happy we chose Complete Wedding + Events to do our Photos and DJ. We would highly recommend them being a part of your special day!Thanks

I love the professionalism of your staff. Our DJ was AMAZING!! He had to deal with electrical issues. He was able to fix it and make everyone continue to have a blast. My friends and family are still talking about how fun it was. The online process and music selection were perfect!

Review №36

I could not be happier with everyone we worked with! Mike was on photos and was a blast to work with. We got stuck at the church while our party bus was stuck in traffic and got candid shots of us playing basketball and was very patient with our (at times difficult to photograph) family and friends. Darcy and kids kept people going on the dance floor and in the photo booth constantly. Everybody was exhausted when saying their goodbyes. The games were also a huge hit! Table leaders, dance floor fill up, newly wed shoe game and sing a love song for a kiss were all exciting and brought everybody out of their shells. I will be recommending everyone I know and even made sure to get business cards.

Our photographer Mike did an amazing job making our wedding day special! He was very professional and knew what he was doing. He went above and beyond to make us feel special on our day. We asked him to do certain photos and he didnt hesitate at all to listen to what we wanted. I would reccomend him to anyone wanting a good photographer. Our DJs Paul and Danielle were absolutely fabulous as well. They were outgoing and kept everyone entertained and dancing on the dance floor. They wanted our day to be perfect for us and they did everything they could to ensure it was! Both the photographer & DJ were absolutely great with communicating with us throughout our time of planning. They never hesitated to let us know if we had any questions or concerns to just text or call them and theyd get right back to us.

I rented the photo booth, They were very friendly and professional, definitely worth the money. I love my photo book, the pictures are so personal. I would recommend for anyone getting married, they had a lot of props and the pictures are very clear compared to other photo booths I have seen at weddings.

Complete was amazing. Sarah was our photographer and was awesome, everyone loved her. Ben came as our videographer and he and Sarah worked perfectly together. Derek was our DJ and he was amazing, he included the music we wanted to hear and kept the dance floor full all night long! We all had so much fun and the team from Complete really pulled through for us. They coordinated with the GM at our venue as needed to ensure the day was flawless! We would recommend them to everyone!Allyson and Justin GravesVenue: Sunnyside Country Club Waterloo, IA

Our photographer Mike, Videographer Joe, and DJ Darcy were the most professional and positive people. Each of them were so helpful and creative. They made our day amazing and worked all day to capture the best moments of our day. We cannot say enough great things about each of them and have already started recommending them to friends and family. Complete of Des Moines made our planning process smooth and effortless. We are so glad to have chose them for our wedding!

Our DJ (Larry) was wonderful! He contacted me the week of the wedding and we walked through every detail so I felt very confident before having even met him! I made changes to intro songs the day of the wedding and Larry was able to accommodate everything without hesitation. I didnt worry about a single thing with the timeline or flow of the wedding between Larry and the on site event coordinator at my venue. It was such a relief and I felt this truly allowed me to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest. I heard from multiple people during the actual wedding reception that our DJ was awesome and they were having a blast. The next morning was no exception! Everyone had a great time and said Larry was amazing and had great song selection and was just an overall fun DJ. He also kept my wedding partys drinks full :) I didnt get to enjoy the dance floor as much as I would have liked due to the bridal duty of mingling but I loved being able to see everyone having such a g reat time on the dance floor! Larry went absolutely above and beyond my expectations and I will be recommending Complete for all of my friends that have upcoming weddings...more specifically I will be recommending Larry. After the amazing job he did he also followed up the next day with a text thanking us for allowing him to be a part of our special day! Truly amazing service. I cant thank Complete and Larry enough!

Review №47

I have seen Complete on multiple occasions and have always been impressed. My fiance and I are pretty quiet and laid back so, we were afraid we might get someone the opposite.We were wrong and once we filled out our planner we felt like Complete really tried to find the best match for us. Danny did both our ceremony and our reception. There were songs I purchased on my phone and I had some requests that were tedious. The requests were Please try to start this song at this specific time. etc. I didnt expect him to do it but he did. My husband and I were blown away how he went above and beyond, not only with the DJ aspect but he also offered to get us more drinks when ours were empty, and even got us wet washcloths after we cut the cake. He helped make the night go as smooth as I think it could have went. I will recommend him to anyone looking for someone for their special event. Thanks for making our day great Danny!

I used Complete Weddings for my photographer, videographer, and dj because one of my close friends did for her wedding earlier this year. Neither of us could have been any happier with the crew! I used Sarah for photography, Ben for video and Scott for DJ. They were all fantastic! All of my wedding party and guests loved them and so did I! I am so thankful for all of their hard work! ❤️

Review №53

I used the photo booth part of their service, the gentleman who came to do the photo booth was awesome. He was prompt and did the best that he could with the equipment given to him. This is where my positive experience ended. Their service states that you get a scrapbook and flash drive with the photos. We pointed out an error and were told that they would fix it for the flash drive. We were married on 3/14/15 and today 5/12/15 I get my package containing my flash drive from USPS postage due. I can live with that part, however I open the photos up and the color correction on name and date wasnt done as promised nor was the date corrected.This didnt ruin my day, but if you book their service please beware that they are very responsive up front but their back end follow up is absolutely the worst Ive ever used. Its upsetting that I paid $800 for this service and had to fight so incredibly hard to get the final product to realize its not what was promised to me.

Review №55

I really liked our vendors, the photographer and dj were amazing. But working with the guy who coordinated everything was almost painful. Hes terrible at returning emails or calls and just sort of expects you to know how the system works. Its been over a month since our event and were still waiting to hear back from him about when we can get our wedding pictures. Im frustrated with this guy in particular. Its getting so many stars because the whole company doesnt suck, it just seems like this guy isnt so great.

Review №56

Complete has been amazing and Im so thankful we found them when researching various vendors. Not only did they make their services affordable, but their team members are great and talented people. Sarah, a photographer, is handsdown the absolute best we could have found. She is so easy going, fun, and was able to roll with the punches. Our videographer was delayed in reaching out to us, which made us a bit nervous, but the Complete management handled it really well and at the end of the day, we will still able to chat with him beforehand. He really started to open up to have a little bit of fun later in the evening and it was great to see those creative juices flowing. DJ was great with our chaos and had a great attitude about some less-than-perfect weather which cause the eletricity to flicker on and off. I would 100% recommend Complete.

Kevin was awesome DJ, showed up early, kicked but at DJ-ing. The only reason I didnt give them a 5 is because communication with Derek was pretty bad and a major cause of unneeded stress for me. However, once Kevin was given my contact info the Monday before our wedding, he was phenomenal at returning my calls and texts.

Review №61

Had them do my wedding DJ, Video, and photobooth. Videographer was great! but the other two... not so much. The lady running the photo booth did not explain what to do with the 3 photo strips and that you were supposed to sign by the other, she was rude when getting FREE food from our family that was serving it because she was a vegetarian. And had no personality. The DJ was a nice girl but was not energetic. The photographer almost missed the cake cutting because she couldnt hear her and no one saw it happen except the people around the table. She didnt announce the table numbers but instead went around and dismissed them which is fine but didnt dismiss all the tables. We had to tell her what music to play all night. I asked her to remind people about our wedding hashtag and she never did. I asked her to announce the slideshow and asked if I wanted to do it instead. Maybe she was new but they should not be sending someone out to do this job that is not ready. I paid quite a bit for these services and am hoping to hear back from them but am very VERY disappointed.

We used Complete Weddings and Events for our videographer. Eli was so nice to work with! He was so kind and professional. Sue with complete weddings was also great to work with. Sue would respond quickly to questions I had and let me know about the process from start to finish. I love how this company had a planning form you had to fill out prior to the wedding. This helped myself and my videographer communicate on what the day looked like. Can’t wait to see the video!
