FAQs

General

How far in advance should we book wedding vendors?

We recommend booking as early as possible—ideally 9 to 12 months in advance—to ensure your date is available, especially for peak seasons. However, we can often accommodate month-of bookings depending on staff and equipment availability. Please note that coordination services benefit greatly from early booking, as more preparation time allows us to better tailor the timeline, communicate with your vendors, and ensure a smooth, stress-free experience on your wedding day.

When can I expect to hear from Complete after submitting an inquiry?

We typically respond within minutes during business hours, either through phone call, text message, or email. (Check your spam folder if you haven’t heard from us!)

If you haven’t heard from us within 48 business hours, don’t hesitate to contact us again, as we may have not received your inquiry.
