Yes! We have a portfolio of past events and can provide photos or videos to show you how various lighting styles look in different venues.

The number of lights depends on the size of your venue and the desired ambiance. We can do a walkthrough or consult with your venue to recommend the perfect setup.
We offer a variety of lighting options including uplighting, monograms, string lights, pin spots, dance floor lighting, bistro lighting, and custom effects like cold sparks or spotlights.
Wedding lighting enhances the overall mood and atmosphere of your event. It highlights key areas, adds visual interest, and helps your photographer and videographer capture everything beautifully.
We’ll have a backup plan! Whether it’s finding a covered location, using umbrellas creatively, or adjusting the timeline. No matter what, your wedding photographer will still capture beautiful moments for you.
If anything unexpected happens—like bad weather, a vendor delay, a wardrobe issue, or a timeline shift—your coordinator will jump into action to resolve it quickly and discreetly. You likely won’t even know there was an issue. Part of a coordinator’s job is to stay calm under pressure, adapt to last-minute changes, and protect your peace of mind so you can stay focused on celebrating with your loved ones.
Typically, coordinators stay through all the major events of the day—ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, speeches, dances, cake cutting, and more. Once the key milestones have been completed and everything is flowing smoothly, we may quietly wrap up, but not before confirming that everything is in place for the rest of the evening. If extended coverage is needed, many coordinators offer that as an add-on option.
Yes, most wedding coordinators will lead or assist with your ceremony rehearsal. We’ll walk your wedding party through the processional and recessional, help with timing, and make sure everyone feels confident about their roles. This ensures that the ceremony runs smoothly and that everyone knows exactly what to do on the big day.
Absolutely! Creating a comprehensive timeline is one of the most important parts of a coordinator’s role. We work with you (and your vendors) to map out the flow of the day—from hair and makeup start times to the last dance at the reception. This timeline helps keep everyone informed and ensures that no key moments are missed. We’ll distribute it to vendors and key people like your photographer, DJ, and officiant so everyone knows where to be and when.
Yes, your COMPLETE weddings + events coordinator will take over vendor communication on the wedding day so you can fully enjoy the experience without having to answer questions or solve problems. They’ll confirm arrival times, direct vendors to the correct locations, ensure they follow the agreed-upon schedule, and handle any hiccups that may arise. This allows you, your wedding party, and your family to relax and focus on celebrating.
A wedding coordinator from COMPLETE weddings + events ensures that all the moving parts of your big day come together seamlessly. They oversee the timeline, manage vendor arrivals and setup, cue important moments like the ceremony processional and reception speeches, and handle any last-minute issues so you don’t have to. From confirming deliveries to directing guests and keeping everything on schedule, coordinators act as the behind-the-scenes problem solvers who make your event feel effortless and organized.
You can start speaking with your coordinator as soon as your event is officially booked. We encourage early communication so we can understand your vision, answer any questions, and help guide you through the planning process.
The sooner we connect, the better we can tailor our services to fit your needs and ensure everything runs smoothly on the big day. Whether you have ideas to share or just want guidance, your coordinator is here to support you every step of the way.
No! Your coordinator is available to help well before the day of your event. They’re here to assist with planning details, answer questions, and guide you through the timeline to ensure everything is well-prepared in advance.

Absolutely! We’re happy to help you find trusted vendors for your event. Whether you’re looking for a florist, makeup artist, caterer, or any other service, we can recommend professionals we’ve worked with and know will deliver great results.
Just let us know what you’re looking for, and we’ll point you in the right direction—or even reach out on your behalf if needed. Our goal is to make the planning process as smooth and stress-free as possible.
As a coordinator, I help set up all the key elements needed to ensure your day runs smoothly. This can include arranging ceremony programs, place cards, signage, guest books, and any décor items you’ve provided, such as candles, table numbers, or welcome displays.
I also coordinate with your vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page, keep the timeline on track, and manage the flow of the day—from the ceremony lineup to the grand entrance, speeches, and special dances. My goal is to handle all the behind-the-scenes details so you can relax and fully enjoy your celebration.
Yes, you’re welcome to choose the songs for your video from our library of royalty-free music. We want the soundtrack to reflect your style and the mood of your day, so you’re encouraged to be part of that creative process.
If you prefer, we can also select royalty-free music that fits the tone and pacing of your film. Either way, we’ll ensure the final edit feels cohesive, emotional, and personalized just for you.
The length of your final video can vary, as it largely depends on what’s captured throughout your day. Every wedding is unique, and factors like the schedule, number of events, and overall energy all play a role in shaping the final film.
Instead of aiming for a specific runtime, we focus on creating a video that tells the full story of your day in the most meaningful and engaging way possible. Whether it ends up being shorter or longer, our goal is to deliver a film that feels complete and true to your experience.
Yes, both the groom and officiant are mic’d up for the ceremony. Audio plays a crucial role in the overall quality and emotional impact of your video, so we take every step to ensure it’s captured clearly.
In addition to mics on the groom and officiant, we often use multiple audio sources to back up and enhance the sound. This helps us create a seamless and professional final product where your vows, speeches, and meaningful moments are heard just as beautifully as they’re seen.
We have a team of talented editors who each handle multiple projects at a time, usually with 3 to 10 weddings in the editing queue.
The turnaround time for your edited video is typically up to 90 business days, though we often deliver sooner when possible.
Our goal is to create a film that truly reflects the emotion, story, and unique moments of your day. While we appreciate your patience, this timeline allows us to give your video the attention and quality it deserves, so it’s something you’ll cherish for years to come.
Getting ready and first look moments often require more time because, unlike the rest of the day where we capture events naturally as they unfold, these moments are typically staged to ensure everything looks perfect. This involves positioning, adjusting lighting, coordinating with other vendors, and sometimes repeating actions to get the best shot.
Even if you only want a few final photos from these moments, the process to create those few standout images takes time and care. Allowing extra time ensures we’re not rushed and can capture these special moments beautifully and stress-free.
The exact number of photos can vary depending on the flow of your event, the number of guests, and the moments captured throughout the day. However, a good estimate is that you’ll receive at least 100 edited photos per hour of coverage.
For example, if you book a 6-hour photography package, you can expect a minimum of 600 final images. We always aim to deliver as many high-quality photos as possible while focusing on storytelling, emotion, and the key moments that matter most.
Yes, all of your photos are professionally edited to ensure they look their best. We adjust for brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and overall color balance to create vibrant, polished images that reflect the true feel of your day.
Our goal is to deliver a natural yet refined look that highlights the beauty of each moment.
You can expect to receive your final edited images within approximately 30 business days after your event. This timeframe allows us to carefully review, edit, and enhance each photo to ensure the highest quality and attention to detail.
We understand how excited you are to relive your special day, and we always strive to deliver your images as promptly as possible without compromising on quality. If your package includes a sneak peek or preview gallery, you may receive a small selection of highlight images sooner to enjoy and share.
