- Julie + Chris (10/8/22)
Everyone was so accommodating and reassuring during our repeated questions and confirmations. They rolled with the punches even though we had some untraditional/quirky requests, and everything went smoothly--they even invested in upgrading some of their equipment to enhance our experience. There's a certain level of comfort that comes only with seasoned professionals who know their craft inside and out, and it was extremely helpful that they thought of several things we had not considered. As a side note, our guests were especially delighted to have "Trivia Steve" there. We had a great experience and will eagerly let others know.
- Angela + Matt (10/20/21)
Excellent experience with Steve Ralph! Well coordinated music for ceremony and reception. Customer service and professionalism A+++. 10 out of 10. Friendly, courteous, knowledgeable. Wonder MC and guide through toasts and introductions of wedding party, etc.

Our DJ, Marcus was really fun. He kept the party going and added touches here and there that I haven't seen at weddings before. He had a quick "do you know the couple" game that our tables had to answer to get released to go to the buffet that was super fun. I was able to pay online and fill out the DJ forms online over the course of my wedding planning experience. 10/10 would use again!

Why did you become a DJ?
I became a dj because I like entertaining. I let couples know is that there are a couple of reasons why I enjoy what I do. The first is because I like to have fun and I like to make sure everyone else is having fun too.
Another reason is because, when it comes to wedding ceremonies, the music is one of the most influential parts of the ceremony and it sets the tone. Its a honor and privilege to be able to be a part of one of the biggest days in two peoples lives and i want to make it as perfect as i can.
What is your favorite part of the night?
That’s a good question. There are things to every part of the night that are highlights. Maybe its assuring the music is perfect during the ceremony. Or it could be meeting people and welcoming them. I’ll even make it fun going table to table handing out request slips. Music helps drive the mood and assuring all the music sets that tone is what i like to do.
So honestly, i cant say what my favorite part of the night is. But I can tell you what my least favorite part of the night is. Its the part after I tell everyone “drive safe and have a good night” and the lights come on.
What makes you unique as a DJ?
I believe the thing that helps me thrive as a dj is the fact that , even though my birth certificate says one thing my attitude and energy says another. It does help me connect with all ages though.
Another strong point may be a disadvantage as well. I like to add some of my emotion into the tempo which is feeding off of the dance floor. Playing music geared towards all ages keeps everyone engaged and does not exclude anyone.
What is your favorite DJ memory?
I have a lot. A lot of good memories and some, well, yeah we will credit those as learning points. One of my favorite dj memories came from the low point of a bride and groom.
It was my 1st or 2nd year and i did a wedding reception. The estimated guest count was 150. Everything was set for 150 except for the actual count. Including the the bridal party and bride and groom, there were a total of about 36 people that showed up. I did everything i could to still try and make the evening as fun and special as i could.
The comments left on my evaluation are ones that have stuck with me when they said “we hired a dj and what we got was more like a part of the family”.
List one fun fact about you most people do not know
I was a firefighter for almost 20 years. I have a real strong passion in fire prevention, education and awareness. However, when i was a kid like 5 or 6 years old it was the total opposite. I was a little pyro until one day i went to the big church lot at the end of the road and set a tree on fire. As if that wasnt bad enough, i could see the fire department about 750′ feet in the background.
Well when they showed up, which only seemed like a matter of seconds later, one of them came up to me and asked if i saw who did it and the only thing i remember saying was “a kid ran that way”.
Needless to say the only damage was to this tree sitting in the middle of the lawn and that was the end of my pyro days.
We absolutely loved having Dennis as our DJ. He brought so much energy and really made our night that much more special! If we ever have another event we will definitely be booking with him again. He was so kind and we have had a ton of compliments from our family and friends that attended the reception. Thank you again for such an amazing night!
- Daryl + Amanda (9/23/23)
Every interaction with your staff was efficient and professional. We never felt uncomfortable asking when we had a question pop up and answers were always received quickly!
Our DJ, Dennis, was great! He spent a long time with us on the phone going over all of the details for our wedding day to make sure that everything went smoothly. He was also very attentive to us throughout the day of the wedding, making sure we had everything we needed
- Annie + Joseph (8/12/23)
I absolutely loved booking my 2 photographers, videographer and DJ through complete weddings!! Andrea, Lindsay, Greg and Dennis were absolutely amazing to work with! Everyone was incredibly professional.
I had some requests, and some details that I wanted to be highlighted at my wedding and everything was followed to the letter! Also the price for the service was unbeatable!! thank you so much to the whole staff! Loved working with Complete Weddings!
- Mara + Spencer (8/11/23)
Dennis was an amazing DJ! He really helped make our day special. Our guests had an amazing time on the dance floor.
- Rachel + Cody (8/5/23)
Dennis was everything we wanted and more from our DJ! He took care of all the sound/music details for the ceremony. We selected what we wanted and Dennis made it happen! And then when it came time for the reception, Dennis kept the party going! From a fabulous entrance through until the last song, he kept us on the dance floor. During dinner, he even went around to the tables to give our guests request slips. Oh, and if you want help breaking the ice to encourage your guests to dance, I highly recommend the snowball dance- Dennis recommended it and our guests LOVED IT! Thank you so much.
- Melissa + Nicholas (6/24/23)
Dennis was very Flexible and easy to work with! He did a great job with our ceremony cues and reception. Our guests were dancing all night and would have loved for Dennis to stay another 3 hours
- Laura + Matt (10/8/22)

What is your favorite part of the night?
Once the dance floor opens, I take any song requests, turn up the volume, and watch everyone have a good time!
What makes you unique as a DJ?
I can improvise almost any situation that requires a last-minute change: such as repositioning speakers so they are not in anyone’s walkway, finding places to tuck cords away.

Too many to list: from having a dog on the dance floor, teaching people how to do the Wobble or Cha-Cha Slide and watching people fight for a bouquet or garter.

- Amanda (5/11/24)
DJ Peter was so so great! He was willing to chat on the phone, answer my texts, and make last minute changes that all helped make our day so special. Peter was also so fun the day of our wedding! He graciously took our guests’ requests, was so kind every time I ran up to his booth to ask him to play my song next, and danced with us during every line dance! We recommend Complete Weddings + Events for your big day.
- Cassandra + Matt (10/21/23)
Our DJ was Peter and we couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He was so thorough and patient with us. He made us feel at ease the moment we met him! He answered all our questions and was so polite. You can really tell he puts a lot of pride into his work. At the wedding he was amazing! He grabbed a plate for me, so I didn't have to juggle things. He was perfect at facilitating our photo dash and accepting song requests. He even got right out on the dance floor with us for the wobble and kept people dancing all night. I would recommend him and Complete Weddings to anybody over and over again! They really helped make our day smooth and so much fun!
- Kathylee + Josh (10/7/23)
Peter was great. He played great music, took requests and dealt with a bunch of drunk guests.

Peter was amazing! He listened to exactly what we asked for. He watched the crowd and made sure people were dancing. He was mingling with the guest and was tearing up the dance floor himself! It was so much fun and I would recommend to everybody! He made our night perfect!
- Spenscer + Brittany (8/26/23)

List one fun fact about you most people do not know
My grandfather could play almost any instrument on the planet. He had his own band, “Colonel Boyd’s Dixieland Band”, and he always said that he wanted someone else in the family to pursue music, to keep that spark alive.
Alec was above and beyond! Guests were even commenting on how professional and wonderful he was.
He was even coming up to us and offering us anything. He was on top of things and flexible.
Was such a joy to have at our wedding.
Will be recommending to our other Grand Rapids friends
- Paige + Joel (8/17/24)
We had Alec for our DJ and he was absolutely phenomenal… I cannot recommend this company enough, they were helpful through the entire planning process and always checking up on me until I was assigned a DJ and then my contact went to Alec. Alec went above and beyond and was amazing. Everything was super professional, and he constantly was asking me and the groom if we needed anything, if everything was going the way it should, if there’s any extra things we wanted done, and was constantly engaging with the crowd. We had the DJ for our ceremony and our reception. Alec was so fun and bubbly. I couldn’t have picked a better person myself! Also we rented a Photo Booth, and everything was smooth and perfect with that! Constant communication, everyone loved all of the props, and we got a cute keepsake book along with a flash drive of all of the pictures.
- Kaitlin + Shawn (6/15/24)
As an overall company, the communication was outstanding. I had constant communication with you guys through the whole process. I never had to question what was going to happen or when. I could text someone at any time of day if I had a question and had an answer immediately.
As far as the actual DJ, Alec was OUTSTANDING. He catered to my every need. Constantly coming to check on me to make sure I didn’t need anything or to see if I wanted a specific song. Checked in with me before making any announcements to make sure we were ready for toasts, dances. Etc. it was raining on my wedding day, and he would literally escort people with umbrellas to where they needed to go. Leading up to the wedding, he was in contact with me often to make sure our playlist was exactly what we wanted it to be. I just couldn’t have asked for a better DJ. He went above and beyond anything I would’ve ever imagined.
- Tiffany + Scott (6/1/24)
Why did you become a DJ?
It started out as just a job. I needed it because my unemployment was running out. I stayed a DJ after being convinced by our fearless leader Justin. I am a DJ now to bring inspiration and joy to people through music and personality. I enjoy meeting new people.
What is your favorite part of the night?
Ending the bulk of the business aspect of the wedding (ceremony, intros, speeches…etc…etc) and starting the party when that first note of an upbeat song hits and people are compelled to leave there seats and dance it makes my soul smile.
What makes you unique as a DJ?
My eclectic taste in music and my vast library I have in my head. Also my circle salute is in like any other and I get compliments on it all the time of people who wished they had it at there wedding or want to have it at there wedding in the future. I never tell my clients about it and I present as a gift from me to them.
What is your favorite DJ memory?
It was at Bengel Wild Life Conservancy it was for Nick and Jordann Ferguson on October 18th 2019. The whole night was amazing they treated me like family right from jump I got a huge recognition on Facebook and even got pics with them. My family and I were invited to there parents house for trick or treating and we even ate dinner with them. I made life long friends on that day.

DJ Big Rob was personable and stuck to our wants and needs! He consistently checked in on the couple during the wedding without stepping on any toes. We had a PERFECT night!
- Lexi + Miles (9/23/23)
I cannot imagine having my wedding with any other vendor. It just so happens we had just been to a wedding prior in which the DJ played songs requests from guests over text, which sounded like a good idea in theory- but we felt that the actual execution of that felt very disjointed.
That's why when we met with Rob and quickly noticed his extensive knowledge base/experience-- we basically just told him the feel of things we were going for, and let him take the reins.
This was another one of the best decisions we made-- he was amazing! He made everything flow perfectly throughout the evening, without any awkward vibes/pauses.
He also was a great director in leading speeches, games, etc for us (My easily distracted self needs that!) We had SO many compliments on him by guests, it was a big dance party for everyone of all ages. "Your DJ was AWESOME"

Rio was a fantastic DJ for us at our end-of-school celebration. Over the course of the morning, he was surrounded by 700 elementary and middle school students, but Rio maintained an upbeat and approachable demeaner the entire time.

5 stars somehow just doesn’t seem like enough for our incredible DJ, Robbie! Robbie exceeded any expectation we had for our wedding. From the time we chatted with him before our wedding to our wedding day he went above and beyond for us. He was so attentive to my now husband and I. Making sure we had a drink at all times, his communication, the way he cared about every detail of our day, the way he interacted with our families and guests made it feel like he was a friend. My dad actually thought he was one of our friends because of his amazing personality. He got all of our guests involved, danced with us, rapped on the dance floor. Who gets that?!?!

DJ Robbie quite literally made our wedding day smoother than butter. He is the nicest, friendliest, and most caring wedding vendor we dealt with throughout the whole wedding process. He is extremely talented at what he does and he does everything in his power to make you happy. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone and we will definitely find ways to use him again. 100/10 rating. Honestly, there aren’t enough words to explain how awesome he is. He blew our expectations out of the water.

Kyon was absolute fire! He did an amazing job!!
- Maggie + Jake (6/1/24)
Kyon was great! Very entertaining and did a great job.
- Danielle (5/11/24)
I have used Complete Weddings and Events for the past two years for a Girls Gala, two years using the photo booths (this year we had Jessica, Sincere and Olivia and they did amazing!) and one year using Kyon one of their DJs (who was also awesome even while dodging balloons being tossed his way while the girls danced the night away) and they always blow it out of the park! So many parents compliment both the elementary aged music selection and having the pictures for many years to come! I look forward to using them again!
- Megan (4/12/24)
We had Kyon as our DJ and he was so amazing! Very friendly and upbeat. He truly kept the party going and we would definitely recommend him as a great wedding DJ!
- Morgan + Ryan (3/2/24)
Kyon was incredible!! Kept the vibe up all night and was super flexible when we ran behind on a few things and had some last minute changes. 10/10 recommend!!! I think one of my bridesmaids took his info for her wedding and she's not even engaged yet 🤣. Amazing! Thank you so so much!!
- Jena + Zachary (1/27/24)
Kyon was an amazing DJ. He fit the vibe so well. It was like he was a close friend just helping out. It was truly lovely.
He was very thoughtful and kept everything flowing. He made sure no one touched our cake or the desserts until it was time for cake, because I (bride) told him I was concerned people will try to get desserts when it wasn't time, but he made an announcement and kept an eye out for us. I highly recommend that he continue doing what he's doing!
- Monica + Josh (10/14/23)
Why did you become a DJ?
I became a dj to create lasting memories for couples and get to join in on that experience their special day!
What is your favorite part of the night?
I absolutely love first dances at weddings. There is something so special about family’s coming together and joining to watch their loved ones hand off their daughter, son, grandson or daughter to dance together married, not once, but for the rest of their lives.
What makes you unique as a DJ?
I’m not shy, I’m outgoing and I love to have fun. I have TONS, of experience on the mic, and I’m always ready to make your event one to remember.
What is your favorite DJ memory?
My favorite dj memory was when I was asked to join a bridal party to dance with them on the dance floor. I love dancing, and I always dance when given the opportunity, but the bride came to me and insisted I joined. It was something I will never forget. I had so much fun, I felt like a part of their family, and I got to play a pivotal part and creating that memory for the bride.

Every party is different – the soundtrack to a wedding reception will sound quite different than the tunes played at a Sweet 16 celebration! With that in mind, it’s worth considering the kind of questions you’d ask a DJ in Grand Rapids, MI before hiring them. Not sure where to start? Use these bullet points to guide your search:
The mark of a great DJ is their ability to turn an awkward and shy crowd into a lively and excited room of dancers. Of course, not every event calls for this kind of evolution; a corporate event DJ might be excellent at setting the tone for a formal dinner while an event and wedding DJ might be better at curating a dance playlist. Regardless, in your hunt for the perfect DJ, it’s worth asking how they get the crowd excited.
Just as you wouldn’t hire a pet sitter to babysit your toddler, you’ll want to select a DJ who has experience with the specific kind of event you’re hosting. Most DJs get into the field because of their love for music, but their personal preferences in the types of gigs they take and the tunes they play can seriously impact the mood of your event. Ask about their experience with your type of event and how they handle common challenges that may arise.
Some DJs are eager to take song requests from event attendees, while others prefer to personally curate the night’s playlist. If you feel strongly about song requests, it’s worth asking a local wedding DJ about their policy before you hire them. It’s also a good idea to outline any songs you don’t want to be played or specific songs you know you’ll want to hear at the event. Controlling for surprises is key for any successful party!
Many DJs work alone, but some bring along assistants to help set up and break down their equipment. In some cases, large DJ companies in the area send out different employees to man the event than the person you spoke to about their services. When chatting about the options, make sure you’re clear on exactly who will be manning your special event and what safety net is in place if they can’t make it.
Our DJs have streamlined their equipment and won’t take up a lot of space. Others will bring along lights and sound equipment and will need a certain amount of square footage for their setup. Ask about their needs:
These kinds of logistical questions are often forgotten amidst the excitement of planning!

He really helped support our wedding day with more than just music – he made sure we had time to sit down and eat, even offered to help get us food/apps or drinks if needed. He made sure to check in on us frequently to make sure we were doing ok and even helped keep an eye on our dogs who joined us in celebrating. John was a great addition to our wedding and would 100000% recommend!” – Brittani H.

I then got Rod for my DJ and his wife Latarra for the Photo Booth operator and they were absolutely amazing! I’m lost for words, and how good Rob was as a DJ. He was able to hype up the party and get everyone on the dance floor. Latarra was able to get everyone in the photo booth! I will definitely be coming back for any other event I host!” – Alivia O.
