Giving
Complete Weddings + Events has been in partnership with Global Partners in Hope since 2013 to build clean water wells and health centers that provide basic needs to individuals in developing areas in West Africa. Last year alone, Complete Weddings + Events raised $54,000 with the help of Complete staff, customers, and wedding industry partners. This year, we’re raising the bar with the Do Good initiative. We’re extending our typical one-month donation period to two months to help us reach our biggest goal yet: $100,000 in one year!
Whether you’re on the giving or receiving end of a gift, that gift can elicit feelings of gratitude—it can be a way of expressing gratitude or instilling gratitude in the recipient. Research has found that gratitude is integral to happiness, health, and social bonds.
If you’re blessed with the means to live a reasonably comfortable way of life (meaning, if you’re able to read this), you have the ability to give. The world outside can be a dark place, and those who have little or nothing depend on the generosity and loving kindness of people with a giving spirit. When you give to the less fortunate, you add to their lives – and by adding to theirs, you add to yours too.
A Portion of Your Purchase is Donated
During the month of September and October, when you choose Complete Weddings + Events, three percent of your package goes to our Do Good Together 2022 fundraising initiative. Donations will go towards building two surgical rooms to benefit mothers and children in Togo, Africa. We thank all our couples and event coordinators for choosing Complete and helping to make a difference.
Fundraising for Surgical Rooms
Having surgical rooms is the number one need requested by the Togo health center staff. Currently, without a surgical center, if an emergency C-section is needed to be performed during childbirth, the mother has to be transported to a hospital miles away. Both the mother and child are at high risk during the long commute. These rooms would allow for surgical procedures, like C-sections, to be performed by trained on-site doctors.

Help Us Hit Our Goal
Our goal of $100,000 for the #DoGoodTogether initiative wouldn’t be possible without your support! Whether you’re adding Complete services this fall, helping to share our initiative, or sharing what Complete can offer for those planning a wedding, support is appreciated on all levels!
When you book any service this September or October (DJ, photography, videography, up-lighting, coordination, or photo booth), a portion of the proceeds will go towards building surgical rooms to save women and children during childbirth.
