Learn More"I had a "Complete Weddings + Events" DJ for our Reception, and he was fantastic! He definitely aimed to please! He was out on the dance floor dancing with us after all the spotlight dances. He was even going to get my dinner if our catering service wasn't already taking care of it. He paid attention a great deal during our meeting to make sure that my husband and I were going to be happy with the music selection. Even the dinner music was exactly what I wanted! Our DJ made it a fantastic musical night!"
"Both Jen and Darcy did an OUTSTANDING job at our wedding! Everything went so smoothly and both kept us on track throughout the night and our schedules! Both were flexible and great helping with small changes throughout the night. Darcy did a great job with timing the songs and ensuring they were right and watching the dance floor all night. I CANNOT say enough good things about Jen as a person and helping me on my big day, and especially here photographer style and skills. She knew exactly what style of photos I was wanting and we are VERY happy with the photo sneak peaks we have received so far."
"Sue and her team were wonderful! Super easy process! Amanda at the photo orb made it easy and fun for the guests to enjoy the photo booth. DJ Brandon did an amazing job at keeping the guests hyped and Disney inspired as well! All his song choices her spot on and gave the guests a fun atmosphere! Eli our videographer was sooo easy to work with and even came to do test shots so that he can get the very best footage! He was super easy and knew how to make us feel more relaxed and beautiful on our big day! Couldn’t ask for a better team!"
"What a great job from the entire complete wedding team. Andy our DJ went above and beyond to make our special day easy and smooth. He was great to work with, and very knowledgeable. We would highly reccomend him for any DJ needs. Andres our photographer was awesome. Not only with us but with our kids as well. He was easy to work with, and knew how to get a great shot. We would highly reccomend him for any photography needs. Our photobooth attendants were great. They handled the kids with gusto. We got some really great memories from the photo booth. Sue from complete weddings made sure to check in on us and make sure that we were happy and taken care of. Overall the complete wedding team was excellent. Totally worth the money for a stress free wedding."
"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!"
Yep, we bring everything: sound system, microphones, and lights. You just bring the people.
Yes, we’re happy to take requests (unless you say otherwise). It’s your party, after all.
Yes! Your DJ will have a meeting with you to go over everything 7-14 days ahead of your wedding. You may meet with him or her via phone call, video call, or in person – if possible.
We assign DJs 60 days before your wedding or event, so we know who is and isn’t available from our team! We never promise you a specific team member, because life can throw a curveball anytime- people get sick or emergencies happen– but we DO promise you will have someone from our team, no matter what happens!
Absolutely! You’re welcome to personalize your playlist as much—or as little—as you’d like, as long as the songs are legally available for us to use. While we do not purchase or play explicit music to maintain a family-friendly atmosphere, we can usually access clean or radio-edited versions of most tracks. Your DJ will follow your musical preferences and ensure any guest requests align with the guidelines you’ve provided. We also recommend allowing your DJ some flexibility to “read the room” and play songs that keep the energy up and your guests on the dance floor!
Most wedding reception DJs are hired for 5- 7 hours. Additional DJ timing is sometimes needed if you will need music or sound during your wedding ceremony.
Our DJs typically cost between $995 and $1,895, depending on the date, location, and length of time required for the event(s).
Our DJs take on many responsibilities during a wedding reception including, but not limited to: managing the flow of events, releasing tables for dinner, assisting guests with needs or song requests, assisting with dance floor rules and clean-up, giving announcements (letting your guests know what is happening and what is to come), announcing the wedding party and introducing anyone giving speeches. They do much more than just play music!
Unfortunately, our contracted hours are consecutive and not able to be split up on one single day. If there is downtime, our DJ will play background music, hold doors open while greeting guests, take song requests, and get guests ready for the next event whether it’s cake cutting, dinner, or the first dance.
Gratuity is not included in the price of your service. Whatever you feel is best to tip your professional(s) at the end of the night is up to you! While 10% to 20% tips for wedding vendors is a guide; nothing is expected, but it’s always appreciated!
If you need more time than what you booked prior to your event, you’re able to add time on at any point (even the night-of) with any service for an additional charge! Just let us know, and we’ll take care of you on your special day!
