Independent Franchisee Survey Confirms Strong Satisfaction with Support, Leadership, and Overall Performance
Omaha, Nebraska, February 27, 2026 – Complete Weddings + Events has been named a 2026 Top Franchise by Franchise Business Review, an honor based entirely on feedback from the people who know the business best: its franchise owners. Franchise Business Review’s annual Franchisee Satisfaction Awards recognize franchise systems that deliver a strong, consistent experience across support, leadership, and financial opportunity.
For more than 20 years, Franchise Business Review has identified the top franchise opportunities in North America using independent, third-party research. The complete list of 2026 Top Franchises is available at https://franchisebusinessreview.com/lists/top-200-franchises/.
At Complete Weddings + Events, the top priority is always the success of our owners. Our dedicated support team is there every step of the way, providing the necessary training, tools, resources, and over 100 years of combined industry expertise to help turn dreams of owning a business into a reality.
Unlike awards based on brand awareness or application fees, Franchise Business Review’s rankings are determined solely by franchisee satisfaction and system performance. The firm surveys franchise owners directly and evaluates results using standardized benchmarks to ensure credibility and comparability across brands.
Complete Weddings + Events was one of more than 330 franchise brands representing over 26,000 franchise owners that participated in Franchise Business Review’s 2026 research. Franchisees evaluated their experience across 33 core benchmarks, including training and support, operations, franchisor-franchisee relations, leadership, culture, and financial opportunity.
Key findings from Complete Weddings + Events’ franchisee survey include:
- The franchisee community is highly valued; many franchisees praise the supportive and family-like culture. (FSI 91% Core Values)
- Franchisees rated honesty, respect, and trust highly. (Honest & Integrity 93)
- Franchisees generally agree that their business coaches are helpful, knowledgeable, accessible, and caring about their success.
“Franchisee satisfaction is one of the most reliable indicators of long-term franchise performance,” said Michelle Rowan, president of Franchise Business Review. “This year’s Top Franchise winners significantly outperformed industry averages, demonstrating strength in the areas that matter most to franchise owners: leadership, support, innovation, culture, and financial opportunity. These brands are not just growing, they are building healthy, resilient systems.”
“What makes this recognition meaningful to franchisees is that it reflects the strength of the entire community, said Benjamin Hundt, chief operating officer of Complete Weddings + Events. “When owners across the country share positive experiences about the support and partnership they receive, it reinforces that they’re part of something special.”
