What are some common things that clients love about you?
Vibe. I have a vibe that’s fun, loving and caring. I really put the clients first and serve from a place of humility. It’s not about me but others always when it comes to being a tastemaker of music!
What music genres are your favorite to DJ?
I love ALL good music from R&B/Soul/Funk, Electronic, HipHop and even Reggae, but I can play ANY kind of music; whatever you want as the client, I can bring it for you.
What is one of your favorite things about DJing weddings?
I love celebrating such a significant milestone in a couple’s life and really making it a night they’ll never forget.

Q & A
Alfred, you have so many talents—you’re a singer and musician, actor & model, and you also work in production, making sure sound is epic for different audiences. You’ve been on all sorts of stages, performing in front of thousands of people, and you also DJ weddings & events. What do clients love about you?
I take whatever I do very seriously, whether performing for a sold-out show or providing an amazing DJ experience on a bride’s special day. I like having a great planning session with my clients, to understand what their vision is for their event, and then I work hard to deliver that on their day.
What are your favorite genres of music?
It’s hard to choose a favorite! But I would have to say I absolutely love throwback jams! Whether it’s 70’s and 80’s groove, or 90’s hip hop…I love getting the party started with some funky bass lines. That said, I can DJ any music that my clients love.
What is your favorite part of DJing weddings & events?
By far, my favorite part of DJing is transitions…Finding the best point in a song to start a transition, understanding what type of transition the song is calling for, and figuring out the best way to throw in the next song. The reason I love it so much is because I love that moment in the song where everyone is dancing, having a good time, and all of a sudden, the whole dance floor goes ‘OHHH’ and the energy levels up by 1000.
That bi-product of a clean transition into a really good song is everything.
Closing thoughts, what would you like to tell our awesome clients?
I’m here for you! At the end of the day, my job is to serve you to the absolute best of my ability and bring as much energy to the party as I possibly can. I’m a DJ that loves to have fun, and I can’t wait to help create a night that you’ll never forget!

Q & A
Shawn, you look young, but you’ve worked for us for almost ten years, DJing many of our celebrity & professional athlete weddings. You’re super creative, producing music and even working in videography, but your first love is DJing. You are SO GOOD at reading the dance floor and bringing the party! How do you do that consistently?
Basically, I love music! I know what people like, and it helps me create something fun.
I really want the client happy, so I listen to what they want and make their day feel like THEIR day.

"We had strong opinions about the cocktail hour and dinner music, and it was clear from the selection of songs played that Complete Events fully understood our vibe and played plenty of our requests. On the other hand, we were completely lost when it came to the dancing portion of the evening. This is where Shawn really showed off his talents. Although Shawn looks young, he is undoubtedly a talented professional. He read the room, played a great mix of fun hits, and kept the dance floor occupied all night long. We were definitely asked the next day how we found our DJ."

- Michael W.
DJ Jared did a great job communicating with us and keeping the party going. Our guests really enjoyed having him at the reception!

Jared was amazing. I could not recommend him more heartily. He custom tailored an electron evening for us, disavowing a lot of the traditional wedding schmaltz and letting us do our own thing.
- Matthew M.
Jared was very friendly and helpful. He was very open when we asked him to help us with a Trivia game for our team. We appreciated that!

Eric has worked as a professional in the wedding industry for over 15 years, providing exceptional event experiences for all types of clients, including professional athletes, celebrities, and VIPs like YOU! He has traveled across the United States and internationally as a singer, musician, and songwriter. Eric is very personable, professional, and dedicated to making your day reflect you.
"Eric went above and beyond to make our wedding day even more amazing than we could have ever imagined! The first time my husband and I talked to Eric on the phone we knew we wanted to work with him. His talent is seriously out of this world and the fact that we could have a (very reasonably priced) DJ and live band all at the same time was a dream come true! We completed a questionnaire about the overall vibe we wanted for our wedding and a list of must-play songs for our cocktail hour and reception at Green Gables. We were super slacking (honestly I was just really picky) about what music we wanted to be played during the wedding processional. One week before our wedding we finally decided and called Eric to ask if he could do all three songs on the piano. “No problem,” he said, he would make it happen. Hearing our favorite songs (all you need is love / free falling / hooked on a feeling) slowed down on piano during our ceremony was honestly one of my favorite parts of the whole day! Eric absolutely killed it, just like he said he would. Everyone told us how great the live band was during cocktail hour and Eric’s energy during our reception was unmatched. We were running behind on our schedule and he suggested a quick change which helped move us right along. He is totally a professional, but you feel like you’re working with a good friend. Eric really puts his heart and soul into what he does and you can trust that he will make your wedding day super fun and memorable! Seriously, he is amazing!"
"My (now) wife and I searched far and wide for the perfect fit for our wedding band/DJ/MC. We dealt nearly exclusively with Eric, the owner, who was professional, readily accessible for quick communication, on-time, and most importantly—GREAT at his job. From the live performances to handling the audio logistics for the ceremony and reception, to the DJ’ing, Eric and his team absolutely killed it. Highly recommended for any significant event where things have to go right and fun needs to be had! A+ in all categories."
"Complete Events did live guitar/singing, DJ service, and Photo Booth for our wedding. Everything was absolutely seamless!! Eric met with me in person and communicated with me through phone, text, and email very consistently. He was very prepared and really cared about making my wedding the best it could possibly be, and including everything that I wanted. I highly recommend Complete Events to everyone!"

George Washington was absolutely amazing!! He helped us every step of the way, even with the music we weren't sure or didn't even think about for our wedding. He gave us tips and advice, and song choices when we needed them. The day of the wedding he was the life of the party, and did everything perfectly and as we asked. I would definitely hire him for another event and recommend him to all of you out there! Thank you George for helping us create the most magical day!! <3
- T.R.
George was amazing. He had the perfect energy for all of the guests and made sure we were happy with everything along the way. We had a surprise rain, thunder, lightning, and hail storm right before the ceremony and George handled the situation with the utmost professionalism and grace. When we decided to keep the ceremony outside during the storm I made sure it was okay with George and he said "I weatherproofed everything the second it started sprinkling, whatever you want is what we're going to do." All of the guests raved about how great George was and that our wedding would not have been complete without him.
- A.S.
From our engagement party to the wedding itself, and even the after party, George proved time and again that he is THE BEST OF THE BEST. His music selection and mixing skills had everyone on their feet, dancing the night away. The energy he brought to the dance floor was electric, and it created an unforgettable atmosphere that had our guests raving for days. But it's not just George's talent as a DJ that sets him apart; it's his warm and personable nature that truly makes him a gem. He took the time to get to know us as a couple, and it felt like we were working with a close friend rather than a hired professional. He paid close attention to every detail, making sure the music perfectly reflected our style and preferences. One of the most memorable moments was when George helped me, the bride, pull off a surprise for the groom. He went above and beyond to ensure that the surprise was executed flawlessly, and it was a magical moment that we will cherish forever. His willingness to go the extra mile for his clients is truly commendable. Throughout the entire wedding journey, George was a reliable source of support and guidance. His experience and expertise were evident, and he seamlessly handled all aspects of the music and entertainment. We didn't have to worry about a thing because we knew we were in the hands of a true professional. George Washington and Complete Weddings + Events exceeded all our expectations, and we are forever grateful for the incredible memories they helped create. Their dedication to making our day special and unforgettable was heartwarming, and we can't thank them enough for their outstanding service. If you want your wedding to be a celebration like no other, look no further than Complete Weddings + Events and request George Washington as your DJ. He is not just a phenomenal DJ but also a genuinely wonderful person. Thank you, George, for making our wedding day so incredible—we couldn't have asked for anything more!
- D.S.
George, our DJ was phenomenal. He played requests and our playlist. He kept the party jumping 😁
- J.M.
Our DJ George came highly recommended and we see why! We got in contact about 10 days prior to the event and I was stressed a little with the short time frame. But he was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, well-spoken and made any worries I had disappear. He was a pleasure to work with and we enjoyed how much he got the crowd involved to participate. We really enjoyed him being apart of our wedding and that name of his will always be something to remember! Mr. Washington
- T.W.
George was amazing! All of our guests had amazing things to say about how much fun George was! He sent us really great recommendations for music and our guests loved the music. We were told George was the best DJ Complete Events has and we can now confirm that is 1000% the truth! :)

Christian, you’ve DJ’d at clubs and festivals, produced music, even modeled and acted, PLUS DJ’d hundreds of weddings and events with our company. You get 10/10 reviews with a common denominator, “He goes above and beyond.” What’s your secret sauce?
Ultimately, it’s understanding my clients’ music tastes. In our planning session, which is my favorite part of getting to know clients, we can really see what you are into and dial in your music to fit each segment and work the crowd in the dance party.
I’ve thrown you in so many different ethnic weddings over the years, and you always kill it! The dance floor is full; everybody is having a blast; How do you do that?
It’s about studying the music. I may not understand all the lyrics, but I can focus on how it sounds and where its placement should be throughout the night.
What are your favorite genres of music?
My favorite genres are throwbacks such as 2000s, hip hop, and alternative band music. I also specialize in multi-genre house. I am well versed in all genres, so whatever you want as a client, I can bring it for you!

DJ Christian was incredible!! Would 1000% recommend him for anyone’s wedding or special event. He not only crushed it with our playlists/music taste, but he kept the day running smoothly for us and kept people on the dancefloor.
- M.W. 6.23.24
Christian was amazing! Our Music situation was a bit complex with a mix of different cultural music and the addition of Drummers. His calm, demeanor, professionalism, and attention to detail was amazing. He would be my number-one pick for any event that we put on in the future. In fact, we loved him so much that we wanna be his friend.
- J.C. 7.16.23

Christian was such a sweet fella and he really was so detailed with his work. He did such an amazing job at reading our crowd's vibe and picking the best tunes for everyone. We had so many compliments on his DJing and he did such an amazing job. He was so friendly and he had such a positive attitude. We loved working with Christian!
- N.N. 2.28.23
Christian was the absolute best DJ. I was so particular about what songs to play and what not to play, and when to play certain songs. He did everything exactly how I wanted and even reminded me of the requested songs I had forgotten about. He knew they were special to me which I thought was awesome. He never lost his smile the whole day either which was refreshing. In the planning process, he was great too, allowing me to email and text any time I had a suggestion or question. My husband and I both are so happy with how everything turned out!

His favorite genres are hip hop and EDM, but as an open format DJ, he can mix virtually any genre of music for clients.

Q & A
Shane, you’ve DJ’d in clubs and have been DJing weddings & events with us for years now, and those 10/10 reviews keep coming in—that you’re an awesome DJ who’s very personable & kind. Is that because you were a Starbucks manager? In all seriousness, Brides love you! Venues love you! What’s your secret?
My secret is authenticity and presence. I bring myself and my A-game to every event. It’s important to be present at each event, to roll with punches, learn names, know what music the clients like, what music they don’t like. It also comes down to being prepared. Doing the groundwork beforehand goes a long way in ensuring a smooth and comfortable event.
What are your favorite genres of music?
I’m an open format DJ and can mix virtually any genre of music for my clients, but my favorite genres are hip hop and EDM.
What is your favorite part of DJing weddings & events?
My favorite part is once dinner and all the formalities are done, and I’m back behind the DJ booth, cooking it up for a packed dance floor, everybody singing along, throwing their hands up in the air. That’s the stuff right there! That’s my happy place.
Closing thoughts, what would you like to tell our awesome clients?
It’s all about having fun at your wedding and not stressing because your team has done the work ahead of time. Music brings people together, and I’m all for it!
Shane was amazing! He kept the party running smoothly, despite myself and the bride slowing things up. He was the perfect amount of upbeat and fun, without being obnoxious and stealing the show. I explained a few special things we were requesting of him and he was able to execute perfectly. If I ever need another DJ I would just call to book Shane, I wouldn't even look anywhere else.
- J.N.
I appreciate the planning forms and going over them with Shane, our DJ. He made those planning forms come to life and everything was spot on!
- A.G.
Shane was amazing! He kept the party going and was very easy to communicate with. He made sure everything went smoothly and played all the songs we wanted to hear. Shane did an amazing job!

San Diego has a high-energy social scene with tons of music and arts. Our DJs work on many of these events and bring a wealth of experience to big corporate events, Gaslamp Quarter weddings, fundraisers, school dances, and Bat mitzvahs. Let us make your special event unforgettable!
You’ll make many decisions when planning your event, but few are as important as which DJ you hire. Clients come to us in search of the best DJs in San Diego because we know the value of a great disc jockey. The ideal DJ can identify the room’s mood and play tunes to break guests out of their shells whether that’s at a wedding reception or corporate event. This is a true talent – not just anyone can elevate a party.
Your party should be one-of-a-kind, so you should also consider what planning decisions you want to make to fulfill your unique needs. Good DJs know the soundtrack for a wedding will sound different than the playlist at a corporate event, so it’s smart to ask each DJ about their goals and strategies for your party. Here are some other points to consider when chatting with potential hires:
Consider the mood you’re hoping to achieve for your event. Maybe you’re imagining a chic affair where music adds to the scene rather than steals the focus – a corporate events DJ can master this challenge with ease. Perhaps you’re hoping to dance the night away and need infectious tunes to get folks out of their chairs. A wedding and event DJ will know exactly the right music to play. Whatever you’re imagining, it’s a good idea to ask contenders how they’ll set the mood.
You wouldn’t go to a men’s barber for an eyebrow wax – why hire a DJ who has never worked your type of event before? These professionals are talented, but their background and experience level will directly influence your party’s vibe. When considering different DJs in the San Diego area for your event, ask about their comfort level with your preferred music style. Throw in a few questions about common challenges and how they would handle them, too.
Song requests are a lot of fun for guests, but they can inadvertently throw off the mood. It can be surprisingly jolting to have your Top 40 tunes interrupted by a throwback jazz song requested by your uncle. Ask your DJ prospects about their policy on song requests and make sure it aligns with your vision. It’s also a good idea to give them a list of songs you absolutely don’t want to hear at your event, and any special songs you need played before the party ends.
Some large DJ companies will send out an entirely different person to work your event than the DJ you originally interviewed. Other times, they’ll send out a small team of people to work at your party. When you’re discussing your options, make sure you understand exactly who to expect and when to expect them. Also, be sure to ask about what safety nets are in place if your DJ suddenly can’t make your party.
High-quality DJ equipment doesn’t have to be bulky, but it can be – especially if they plan to bring lights, speakers, and other staging tools. Ask about the technical needs of your DJ and be sure you have enough square footage allotted for their setup. While you’re at it, ask about the number of electrical outlets they’ll need access to, too. The last thing you want is to be scrambling for extension cords on the day of your party!
