Mixing the perfect playlist and creating a custom music experience just for you is the mark of an excellent DJ. At Complete Weddings + Events Cedar Rapids, we help match you with a DJ with years of experience working wedding receptions and special events to keep your dance floor going in style until your wedding or event ends.

Our DJs work on all types of events, no matter the venue size, and bring a wealth of experience. For a big corporate event, a wedding, a fundraiser, a school dance, or a Bat mitzvah, our DJs can make your special event unforgettable.
Hello there! My name is Addison, and I have a strong passion for music. Many of my cherished memories revolve around experiencing music with my loved ones. During my younger days, I enjoyed attending school dances and losing myself in the music, as well as reveling in the energy of Friday nights at the roller rink while popular hits from the early 2000s played in the background.
Unsuprisingly, I took up an interest in DJing. While I always enjoyed playing the role of the “DJ” in my friends’ cars or at gatherings, helping with weddings is my absolute favorite. DJing with Complete offers numerous rewarding aspects: for instance, it is truly fulfilling to witness guests of all ages letting loose and enjoying themselves on the dance floor. Additionally, I take great delight in curating and witnessing those romantic and special moments between the bride and groom!
If I could rate Complete at a 12, I would. What an amazing team! From the planning call, to the set up and tear down, to pack of gum we got after dinner; this team did so much to make our day. The DJ booth was slick and looked great, and the Photo Booth was beautiful! I can’t imagine our wedding without your team.
Addison was a delight and really knows how to read a crowd for energy. She was receptive, observant, and so so fun. I will be recommending Complete to everyone in my life who has a major event.
Thank you so much for your wonderful work!

Addison was SO sweet and worked with us amazingly!! She made sure we had all the music we loved and even did sweet little touches like her thank you note and making sure we had gum if needed for after dinner! She did improv on the musical chair scavenger hunt and rocked it!

How would you describe your personality?
Outgoing and humorous! I’ll do anything to entertain a crowd!
What makes you unique as a DJ?
What makes me unique as a DJ is my voice, I have a voice only rivaled by Michael Buffer himself. And my desire to make people move and dance, I am a natural entertainer, and I bring a 10 energy level everywhere I go.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Weddings + Events?
I like working at Complete because of the people I work with. We are very professional, and take pride in what we do. I’m passionate about DJing at weddings and cherish the opportunity to create enduring memories for attendees.
What is the best part about DJing at weddings?
I often joke that my aim at events is to have guests so entertained they’re leaving shoeless or carried out from sheer enjoyment. But in all seriousness, my true objective is to ensure everyone has a blast and wants to hire us for future celebrations. I strive for the wedding to be unforgettable, whether it’s theirs or they’re a guest.
Bio coming soon!
Both Kiki and Pat were excellent at our wedding. We were so excited to have them there and they seemed just as excited to be there. We really appreciated the ease of working with them 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!!!

How would you describe your personality?
I would consider myself to be very helpful and empathetic. If the crowd is having fun, then I’m having fun, and vice versa. I’m just as excited as my clients to make things awesome. I like it when everyone it the room matches energies, and I do whatever it takes to make people smile.
What makes you unique as a DJ?
For myself, my job goes beyond “just playing music.” I try to be somebody that my clients trust to help them with every part of their event; from helping the caterers serve dinner, making announcements for the venue, to creating moments for the photographers to capture. You might even find me on the dancefloor showing off my own moves! I always strive to be a friend to all the guests when I’m at an event.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Weddings + Events?
It is super helpful to have a team of friends to work alongside at events. The other DJ’s, photographers, videographers, and photo booth operators are like family to me; and I love coordinating with them to make the night as memorable as possible!
What is the best part about DJing at weddings?
Being able to travel to awesome new places, and meeting awesome new people is a gift on its own. I live for that moment when you figure out what the crowd likes, and you see their faces light up when you play that song they love, but weren’t expecting to hear. Everyone has their own unique tastes, and I love “cracking the code” on what makes people tick.
What is your #1 goal at an event?
Music only exists as it is being played, so I understand that my clients won’t have me around forever. What they do keep, are photos, letters, and memories. I try to play music in a way that makes the moment special, and work alongside the photographer to capture that awesomeness in a way that lasts a lifetime.

When searching for the best event and wedding DJs in Cedar Rapids, we highly recommend asking them about some particulars in advance. Asking the right questions will make the planning process much smoother for everyone involved and help you understand what the DJ offers. We have a list of some questions you might want to ask potential DJs so you can be sure you choose the right one for the job.
Every DJ has a favorite gig that they love to work on – however, you want to be sure that your DJ has experience with many different kinds of people and events. The experience of working with various events means they are skilled in handling any problems that may arise.
Some parties need a high-energy personality, and some require a more formal one. So which one is best for your event? If you are looking for a certain feel, then your DJ needs to be able to adapt to the circumstances while keeping the guests engaged and having a good time.
Everyone has that favorite song that makes them want to dance. We all know that will translate into a song request. So how does your DJ handle this? Are they planning to ask you about each request or will they use their own judgment?
Maybe they stick strictly to the playlist you picked, or maybe they let a few sneak through. Make sure this is something that you and your event DJ talk about so that you are sure no wild surprises are popping up at your event.
If you are working with a larger special event DJ company, you may find your event assigned a DJ that you’re not familiar with. You should want to know who will be at your event so you know what to expect. Also important is finding out what their backup plan is, in case your DJ can’t make it or another unexpected change crops up.
DJs are artists with music, and that means that they love to add a few extras to enhance the experience that their music brings. Sometimes that is special lighting, HD video screens, or other fun effects on your wedding day like Complete Interactive. With so many extra options, know what your DJ can provide to make your event one-of-a-kind.
A DJ acts as a host to both weddings and events and helps create a seamless transition from event to event. On top of playing music, your DJ will also help enforce the timeline of events planned throughout the night. An experienced DJ is skilled at reading crowds and sets the mood for your special day. Whether you are at a corporate event or a wedding reception, a DJ will pack the dance floor with the perfect songs that keep guests in the dancing mood.
