No — and in many cases, quality is actually higher.
Multi-service wedding companies aren’t “one person doing everything.” They’re teams of specialized professionals. Your DJ is a DJ. Your photographer is a photographer. Your videographer is a videographer. Each person focuses on their craft — they just work under one coordinated system.
The difference is structure and training.
When you bundle two or more services you will save on your wedding. This is a compounding discount the more you bundle the more you save.
We understand that weddings can be unpredictable. That’s why every service we provide comes with professional backup plans. If your assigned photographer, DJ, videographer, or coordinator is unexpectedly unavailable due to illness or emergency, a qualified backup team member will step in to ensure your day runs smoothly without interruption.
If you know in advance that you’ll need extra time, let us know as soon as possible so we can update your contract and ensure your team is available. Additional time can also be added on the night of your event (as long as your team’s schedule allows). Extra hours are billed at the following rates:
Photography / Videography / Day‑of Coordination: $200 per hour
DJ: $150 per hour
Photo Booth: $100 per hour
We’ll simply add the extra time to your final balance, so you can keep the celebration going without stress.
To officially reserve your date, visit completeeventmanager.com. Enter your email address and the password provided by your event consultant to log in to your online account. From there, you can make your booking fee payment or any additional payments toward your balance.
Our contracted hours are consecutive and not able to be split up on one single day. Our professionals are more than happy to help with whatever you need, and will always be doing something to better their service for you throughout your contracted time with them.
If downtime allows, our team of photographers and videographers will be capturing footage of guests, décor, venue, and unique details of the day. 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. Our photo booth operators will invite guests to the photo booth or remind them when it’s about to be available, when the line has lessened, or when it’s about to close to make sure it’s used to it’s fullest!
Absolutely! All of our services—photography, videography, DJ, photo booth, and day‑of coordination—can be booked individually or combined in any way you like. We’ll help you build a package that fits your vision, and when you bundle multiple services, you’ll also receive a multi‑service discount.
We recommend locking in Complete services as soon as you know your date—9 to 12 months in advance is common, especially for popular dates during peak wedding season (May–October). Booking early gives you the best chance to secure your preferred team members. If your date is coming up sooner, reach out—we’ll do everything we can to accommodate you.
We typically respond within the same business day, and almost always within 24 business hours. Please note that our office is closed on Sundays and Mondays, so any inquiries sent on those days will be answered when we reopen on Tuesday. If you haven’t heard from us after that time, please check your spam or junk folder in case our email landed there.
If you haven’t heard from us within 24 business hours, don’t hesitate to contact us again, as we may have not received your inquiry.
Absolutely. Bundling services through Complete Weddings + Events makes the entire experience smoother and more enjoyable. Our photographers, videographers, DJs, coordinators, and photo booth attendants already have experience working as a team, which means seamless communication and a stress-free flow on your big day. Plus, choosing multiple services together often comes with cost savings, giving you more value without the extra hassle.
We have a Director of Photography and a Director of Videography who oversee our editing and ensure every wedding meets our quality standards.
Your photographer and videographer focus on capturing your day. Afterward, the footage and images go through a structured editing process by our department directors. They maintain consistency in style, color, storytelling, and overall polish.
This means:
Having dedicated directors means your wedding isn’t just handed off randomly — it’s overseen by experienced professionals who are responsible for protecting the brand standard and your final product.
With independent vendors, editing quality can vary. With a structured team and leadership in place, consistency and accountability are built in.
We do have print packages available for purchase. You can also add photos directly to your cart from your online gallery if you choose to print through us.
Whether you choose a first look or prefer to see each other for the first time during the ceremony, we’ll work with your timeline to capture all the special moments. If you decide to wait until the ceremony for your first look, we suggest having two photographers. This helps ensure we capture both your reactions and other important moments happening simultaneously, without missing a beat.
We recommend at least having a second photographer for about 4 to 6 hours to be able to capture both the getting ready events, both wedding parties and family in a timely manner, and both reactions for the first look and the wedding ceremony. With so much going on before the actual wedding reception (sometimes in two separate locations), it is a huge benefit to have a second photographer for the morning events through the wedding ceremony and family photos. After that, one photographer is absolutely able to capture everything you need.
You can expect to receive your fully edited wedding photos within 12 weeks after your wedding day. We also aim to share sneak peek images on social media or through a preview gallery much sooner, often within a week or two, so you can start enjoying your memories early!
When you book photography with Complete Weddings + Events, you receive a full print release with your high-resolution digital images. This means you own the rights to your photos and can print, share, and use them freely for personal purposes without needing additional permissions.
Your assigned photographer will typically reach out about 4 to 6 weeks before your wedding day to discuss your vision, timeline, and any specific shots you want. This ensures they’re fully prepared to capture your special moments exactly how you want them.
Our wedding photography packages typically start around $1,600 and go up from there. With that our average cost is around $2100 and can vary based on the number of hours, additional services like albums or second shooters, and the specific package you choose. We’re happy to work with you to create a package that fits your needs and budget.
If your assigned photographer is unexpectedly unavailable due to illness, emergency, or any unforeseen circumstance, Complete Weddings + Events has professional backup photographers ready to step in. This ensures your wedding photography coverage goes smoothly without disruption.
You can expect to receive your fully edited wedding video within 12 weeks after your wedding day. We’ll make sure it’s beautifully edited and ready for you to relive your favorite moments for years to come.
Cinematic – This editing style is designed to heighten the emotional impact of your video. It uses slow motion, creative transitions, unique camera angles, snippets of vows and speeches, and dramatic music to create a “wow” factor and tell your story in a unique, artistic way.
Documentary – This style captures the events of your day exactly as they happened, in chronological order, with very little cut out. It’s a more raw, real-time viewing of your wedding.
Complete Weddings + Events offers both styles, but the cinematic style is the most popular choice among couples.
Your videographer is scheduled to reach out to you about 3-4 weeks before the wedding. We usually recommend doing your videography meeting after you meet with your photographer.
Our wedding videography packages typically average around $2,100, depending on the length of coverage, style, and any add-ons you choose. We’ll work with you to create a package that fits your vision and budget.
If your assigned videographer is unexpectedly unavailable due to illness, emergency, or unforeseen circumstances, Complete Weddings + Events has professional backup videographers ready to step in. This ensures your wedding video coverage continues smoothly without interruption.
We can play music as guests arrive and through your ceremony. If your ceremony is at a church most of the time the church will handle your ceremony music. However, we can play in a church if they do not provide that service.
Before hiring a DJ, asking the right questions ensures a smooth planning process and a successful event. Here are some essential questions to ask:
Every DJ has a favorite gig that they love to perform at; 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.
If you’re looking for an experienced wedding DJ or a DJ to emcee your next corporate event, Complete Weddings + Events has you covered!
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.
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.
Your DJ is scheduled to reach out to you 9-14 days before the wedding day. We recommend that they be one of your last meetings you do since they are detail and timeline based!
This is your day; whatever you want to listen to can be played! You’re able to customize your own wedding playlist (as much or as little as you’d like)! The DJ plays your music preferences and makes sure the requests given by your guests fit within the guidelines you have provided your DJ. If you would like guidance on choosing songs for your highlight moments — cake cutting, grand entrance, first dances — you can ask and your DJ will recommend some to fit your style!
Since most weddings are private events, typically the couple and their families do not want outside guests or ”wedding crashers” to attend. In respect for the couple and event hosts, we do not allow guests to attend private events to see our staff. We also customize each event to reflect the couple’s unique style, preferences and requests so no two weddings we perform at are ever the same.
However, we do occasionally perform at public events, venue open houses or fundraisers where our DJs are available for the public to see in action. Feel free to ask us about any upcoming events you can attend! Ask about our next happy hour!
A DJ will emcee your event and conduct the announcements and introductions. They have more of a variety of music to choose from so you can hear all of your favorite songs vs. a band who typically has a set playlist or limited repertoire. You will also save a lot more money hiring a DJ, whereas a band can cost sometimes three times as much: anywhere from $3,000-$12,000+.
Most Minnesota couples need a DJ for about 7 hours to cover dinner, speeches, and dancing. If your celebration includes the ceremony, cocktail hour, or a longer reception, you may want to add extra time. We’ll work with you to build a timeline that keeps the music going and the dance floor full all night.
DJ prices vary by location, date, and the services you choose. On average, couples invest between $895 and $1,995 for a professional DJ/MC to cover their ceremony and reception. Your package price will depend on the number of hours, any special lighting or add‑ons, and the experience of your DJ. Contact us for an exact quote for your wedding date!
You’re welcome to share your own playlists from Tidal, YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, or any other platform, and we’ll reference them to match the vibe you love. In your online event planner, you’ll also be able to share your “wants and wishes” so we can make sure the music fits your vision perfectly.
You’ll get a professional DJ/emcee, sound system, dance floor lighting, wireless mic, and an online planner. We throw in a huge music library and color uplighting, too.
Absolutely! Our DJs love building playlists around your favorites. If there’s something you don’t want to hear, just let us know.
Honestly, as soon as you know your date, it’s smart to reach out. Popular weekends fill up fast, especially during wedding season.
That’s exactly why you have a coordinator.
Whether it’s a vendor delay, timeline shift, weather issue, missing boutonniere, or last-minute family question — your coordinator handles it calmly and professionally.
Most problems are solved before you even know they happened.
Their job is to protect your experience, so your only focus is enjoying the day.
Yes — and here’s why.
A venue coordinator works for the venue. They manage the building, staff, and catering.
Your day-of coordinator works for you.
They focus on your timeline, your vendors, your décor, your wedding party, and your personal details. They’re the one making sure your ceremony starts on time, your photographer gets the right moments, and your reception flows smoothly.
It’s venue logistics vs. personal wedding management — both are important, but they serve different roles.
Your coordinator doesn’t just show up on the wedding day.
Typically, they connect with you several weeks before you’re wedding to review your timeline, confirm vendor details, finalize logistics, and make sure nothing has been overlooked. By the time your wedding arrives, they fully understand your vision and your priorities.
Wedding day coverage is just the execution — the preparation happens before.
Your day-of coordinator is your best friend on your wedding day.
They’re the calm, organized, behind-the-scenes professional making sure everything flows exactly the way you planned it — without you having to think about a single detail.
While you’re getting ready, taking photos, and soaking in the moment, your coordinator is:
If something runs late? They adjust.
If someone has a question? They answer it.
If something goes wrong? You probably won’t even know.
Instead of being the point person, you get to be the bride. Or the groom. Or the fully present human enjoying one of the biggest days of your life.
If you want to relax and truly enjoy your wedding day, the answer is yes! A day‑of coordinator ensures your timeline runs smoothly, communicates with vendors, and handles any last‑minute hiccups so you don’t have to. Our coordinators start working with you about 60 days before your wedding to finalize details, create a detailed timeline, and manage everything behind the scenes on your big day—so you can focus on making memories.
Every guest who enters the booth will receive a digital or printed copy of photo. 5 friends 5 copies.
Yes, it’s super user-friendly. If anyone needs help, our booth attendant’s right there to lend a hand.
Yep, we handle the setup and takedown. You don’t have to lift a finger—just show up and have fun.
Absolutely. We can match your theme with props, backdrops, and even the print design. Just let us know what you’re thinking.
You get unlimited sessions, instant prints, digital copies, props, a scrapbook, and a friendly attendant to keep things running smoothly. No hidden fees or weird surprises.
