Wish we can go back and do it all over again. Payton and I definitely had our minds at ease knowing we were working with Carlos. He has tons of packages to choose from and was able to keep our crowd dancing the entire night during the reception. While the ceremony was going on, the ambience of the entire wedding day was captivated but the music he was playing. Even one of the vendors that drove classical cars mentioned it was the best ceremony music he’s ever heard. We got more than what we thought we were going to get as he’s not just a DJ, but a huge orchestrator of a lot of that entertainment and setting things up during the entire wedding that we didn’t think he was normally a part of. Carlos has also never done our wedding venue before and it took him zero time learning everything and how he was going to set up for the big day.

Al and Mandy are two of the best people we have ever met. They were so easy to communicate with and their portal makes it so easy to put all the information you need for your wedding. The two of them were so much fun to talk to and they really made our night something to remember. They take time to get to know you as a couple and make your dreams come true. They are also really affordable for what you get. We did the uplighting and the audio guest book and I’m so thankful we did.

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

If you’re getting married or looking to throw an epic event, you have come to the right place. Complete Weddings and Events will help you find the right event or wedding DJ, wedding photographer, and videographer to throw a phenomenal party. We also have fun photo booth and lighting rentals to elevate your event and give you the type of unforgettable experience you’re looking for.

From the start our DJ Alex was INCREDIBLE and honestly blew us away with his skills, kindness & attention to details. Before our wedding he checked in and arranged a zoom conference to go over the details. I had a few of these types of finalization meetings with other vendors in my wedding already so I expected a similar experience. Nope! He absolutely covered all the necessary details but more importantly, he tailored our preparation and added ideas that met our specific needs (known & unknown to us). We aren't the best at planning and didn't know much about weddings or their traditions before we took on the overwhelming task of planning our own. Alex added such amazing ideas for our wedding, prepped us on cake cutting and toasting photo ops, helped us tailor the speeches, music sets, and overall experience to tailor fit all our needs! From our music choice to our preparation call where we gave our gosls and family/guest dynamic, he expertly guided the vibe of our wedding to meet the needs of our plans as well as any changes needed. We had so many great vendors for our wedding, but if we could keep one it would be Alex no questions asked!
