We thoroughly enjoyed our DJ, Anna! She was super kind and energetic. She checked in with us multiple times to see if we needed anything. The music she played was perfect!! Our guests were on the dance floor all night and never once made negative comments about the song selections. I’ve heard wedding DJs can make or break your wedding, and she certainly made it!!! Our only recommendation would be to ensure the DJs know how to pronounce the couple’s last name. We were introduced incorrectly for our grand entrance. It wasn’t a huge deal but definitely an important aspect of the wedding. I would 10/10 recommend Complete Wedding to DJ anyone’s wedding!!

Response from the owner · a week ago

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Anna helped make your wedding day so memorable and kept your guests dancing all night! We also appreciate your feedback regarding the pronunciation of your last name. We sincerely apologize for that mistake and will use your feedback to help ensure those important details are confirmed moving forward. Thank you for trusting Complete Weddings + Events with your special day and for recommending us to future couples!

Yet another 1 star review to reply to you. Anna said via phone call that she would need to be paid from 1pm until 10pm allowing 3 additional hours for setup at a rate of 200 an hour. So 9 hours minus the 5 hours alloted for service left us with an additional 4 hours of payment needed. Anna was quite clear that the setup was not included with the 5 hours of service and was additional, furthermore, she mentioned the additional time was needed due to two areas needing setup. So all in all it was over 2600 dollars expected out of us. We did cut the service short on our own accord. Im wanting a 33% refund on the dj service or we'll probably just let civil court figure it out due to the breach of contract. These people know exactly what their doing, everything is said verbally over the phone with little proof of the actual conversation.

Our experience with Complete Weddings and Events was FAR from great. 3 days out from the event we were met with a surprise 800 dollar invoice from Anna the DJ for our event claiming she needed 3 hours of setup time leaving us only 2 hours of actual play time with our 5 hour service, forcing us to pay her for the extra time. Secondly we chose Top 40 songs, 2020s, 2010s and 2000s. We were met with Garth Brooks, Britney Spears, Def Leppard... out of the Dozens of artists we requested only Lana Del Ray was played. Blink 182, Sex After Cigarettes, Mac Miller, was the type of music requested... We had several guests mention the dj service and how poor it was. As the groom I sat at my reception texting the dj youtube links of what to play even after our 90 min phone call. Lastly, we had 1 song on our DO NOT PLAY list.. one freaking song and the lady plays it moments after the planned dances... I was floored as my wife bolted across the room to stop it... INSANE! Not to mention this service was nearly 3000 dollars after it was said and done.

Response from the owner · 2 weeks ago

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for playing a song on your Do Not Play list. Regardless of whether it was requested by a guest, it should not have been played. We take full responsibility for that mistake and understand your frustration. However, several other statements in your review are inaccurate, and we feel it's important to clarify them for potential future clients. Setup & Overtime: We NEVER charge for setup or teardown. Anna arrived two hours early on our own time, and your contracted full five hours of DJ service ran from ceremony background music starting at 2:30 until 7:30 PM. Overtime rates were discussed on June 11, 2025 via text, again at your 45-day planning call, and during your final call five days before the wedding. There was no surprise $800 charge. You requested just one additional hour of DJing the NIGHT OF your wedding to extend the dancing for $200, not $800. Music Selections: Your planning instructions specifically requested a "complete variety, 2000’s, 2010’s and 2020’s” and encouraged guest requests, which Anna worked to accommodate. While we understand not every selection was your preference, the music variety reflected those instructions. Additionally, our records show only ONE text during the reception requesting an Oliver Tree song that was not in our library, rather than the numerous requests described. Total Cost: Your total was $1,840, not nearly $3,000. This included $1,295 for DJ services, $200 for the additional hour, and $345 for upgraded lighting. No setup fees were charged. We genuinely regret the mistake with your Do Not Play list and do not take that lightly. However, we also believe it's important to correct misinformation regarding our pricing and services. We take pride in our transparency and commitment to our couples, and we wish you both the very best.

We hired this DJ service for our wedding and, unfortunately, our experience did not meet the expectations we had, especially considering the significant amount of money we invested for such an important day. While Corban was polite and professional in his interactions, there were several issues throughout the reception that impacted the overall atmosphere. A Couple requests had to be made to increase the volume of both the music and microphone because many guests, as well as our photographer, were unable to hear announcements or music clearly. At one point, I had to ask my wedding coordinator from our wedding party to take the microphone and make announcements because guests could not hear Corban speaking. In addition, the music selection and overall energy of the reception were lacking. A DJ plays a major role in helping keep guests engaged and encouraging participation on the dance floor. When I spoke with management about his particular lack of enthusiasm and to encourage or engage the guest to get on the dance floor he stated that is not typically their job. Which in my opinion that is their job and Despite requests for more upbeat and engaging music, the reception never gained momentum. While it is normal for some guests to leave throughout the evening, we had a significant number of guests leave hours earlier than expected, which was disappointing and noticeable. What was most frustrating was the response from management when these concerns were brought to their attention after I wrote a review a day after our ceremony. Rather than acknowledging our experience and looking for a resolution, our concerns were largely dismissed because they stated the DJ had never received a negative review before. While a strong track record is certainly important, it does not mean every customer will have the same experience. Customer feedback should be taken seriously regardless of previous reviews. We are not seeking a full refund, but we do believe some form of compensation or goodwill gesture would have been appropriate given the issues we encountered. Most importantly, we hope this feedback is used to improve future services so that other couples do not experience similar disappointments on their wedding day. We wanted our reception to be memorable for the right reasons, and unfortunately, the DJ service did not deliver the level of entertainment, engagement, and professionalism we expected.

I was disappointed to see the review you left, especially since our last conversation seemed to indicate that while you had some concerns, you were generally satisfied with the overall experience. To go from discussing a 6/10 experience to receiving a 1-star review was surprising. Whenever we receive a complaint, our process is to gather information from everyone involved before reaching a conclusion. That takes some time, but we believe it's important to fully understand what happened rather than making assumptions. Regarding the event itself, when our manager, Matt, checked in with you during the reception, no concerns were brought to our attention. Because of that, we were surprised to later learn that you felt the entire evening was unsatisfactory. As part of our review process, I also spoke with the venue manager. She shared positive feedback about Corban, specifically mentioning that he was actively engaging with guests throughout the evening rather than remaining behind his booth. She also noted that many guests appeared to leave early due to the event being alcohol-free, as several guests commented on that throughout the night. Based on the information we've gathered from those involved and our review of the event, we do not believe a refund is warranted. We always welcome constructive feedback and are sorry to hear that the event did not meet your expectations. We wish you all the best moving forward.

Matt and Haley did an amazing job at our wedding. My wife and I planned our wedding entirely on our own so it was extra helpful to meet with Matt well ahead of the wedding to clear up details. On the day of, he came prepared and ready to improvise where needed. We had specific playlists for them to use, specific signals to watch for, specific timings, all the details you could think of, and they knocked it out of the park. Our wedding went so smoothly it didn’t feel stressful or “DIY” at all.

While I can't speak for the services, I can for the rep. We met a rep at a vendor expo and she wanted some details of our wedding so we gave her our timeline (wedding at 3, cocktail hour from 4-5, dinner 5-6, reception till close). She informed us that a cocktail hour would be a huge mistake as wedding guest would get bored and we would have enough photos anyways. We were gonna leave it there, as it was an expo, but she proceeded to text us DAILY so we shared our concerns as to why we didn't want to go with her, and she began to berate all the other vendors there, and took no responsibility for their actions. (Screenshots provided) If the services are anything like the sales rep, you'd be saving yourself a headache going anywhere but them. Steer clear.

Response from the owner · 8 months ago

There appears to be a clear misunderstanding regarding our conversation at the expo. The claims described in this review do not reflect statements our team makes to couples, nor how we approach wedding timelines. Any of our couples will tell you they had a "sneak away moment" after the ceremony to finish up pictures. Following our conversation at the expo, a contact form was submitted requesting additional information about our Photo Booth and DJ services. This is the sole reason a limited number of follow-up messages were sent. Our company does not engage in daily and we immediately discontinue communication when requested. Regarding the claim that we “berated all the other vendors,” this is inconsistent with what actually occurred as you can see from the screenshot. A single comment was made expressing confusion about which company may have made a statement like the one referenced. No negative remarks were directed toward any other vendors, and suggesting otherwise misrepresents that exchange. Based on the interaction, it was clear that we were not the right fit—and that’s okay. We wish you nothing but the best as you continue planning your wedding.
