FAQs

What’s included in the photo booth package?

Our photo booth package includes a friendly on-site attendant, fun props, unlimited photo sessions, and instant physical prints for your guests. Digital copies are also sent via text for easy sharing.

Most of our packages also include a keepsake scrapbook filled with photo strips and handwritten messages from your guests—a fun and meaningful memento of your big day!

Do you offer engagement sessions?

Yes! Engagement sessions are available as standalone bookings or can are included in some of our packages at a discounted rate.  Reach out today so we can build you a custom quote.

What type of events do you assist with?

We provide DJ, video, photo, photo booth, lighting, and day-of coordination services for all kinds of events—whether it’s a company party, school dance, fundraiser, wedding, funeral, baby shower, or family reunion. If people are coming together to celebrate or honor a special moment, that’s a reason to hire us!

Should I hire a day-of wedding coordinator?

Of course! If you don’t already have a wedding planner and don’t plan to get one, a day-of coordinator takes the stress off your shoulders so you can relax on your actual wedding day for less than the cost of a wedding planner. They make sure your wedding is set up perfectly to your vision, make sure your vendors arrive on time, and are your go-to for anything you need that day! If there’s an issue, you will never know because they got it. They got you!

What is the difference between a Wedding Planner and a Day of Coordinator?

The short answer…a Wedding Planner is involved from the very beginning often months to years in advance — helping you with everything from budgeting and vendor selection to design and overall wedding planning. They guide you through the entire process to make sure everything is organized well in advance.

A Day-of Coordinator, on the other hand, steps in primarily on your wedding day (with meetings up to 45 days in advance) to manage the timeline, coordinate vendors, and handle any last-minute details — so you can fully enjoy your special day without stress.

My venue has a venue coordinator, why should I hire a day of coordinator?

While some roles might overlap, for the most part your venue coordinator focuses on managing the venue’s staff and logistics, a dedicated day-of coordinator works solely for you—handling your timeline, coordinating with all your vendors, and making sure your vision comes to life smoothly. Hiring a day-of coordinator means you can relax and enjoy your day, knowing someone is there to manage every detail and problem-solve on the spot.

What does your Day of Coordination package include?
  • One on-site wedding coordinator

  • Up to 8 hours of wedding day services

  • Unlimited text & email communication from 45 days out

  • In-person consultations (45 days & 7 days out)

  • Etiquette & protocol advising

  • Bouquet, boutonniere, & corsage management

  • Timeline creation & execution

  • Vendor referrals & communication

  • Wedding day emergency kit

  • Gift management (accompanied by an attendee)

  • Payment distribution

Will you create a wedding day timeline?

Yes, we will create a detailed timeline and distribute it to all your vendors to ensure everyone is on the same page. On your wedding day, we’ll work diligently to make sure the timeline is executed flawlessly.

Can you assist with set up and tear down?

We’re happy to assist with overseeing setup and teardown, as well as helping with small placements. For more extensive tasks—like setting place settings for 150 guests, laying out a dance floor, or tearing down tables, chairs, and décor after the party—you can add our Setup or Teardown package, which will be quoted based on your specific needs.

Do you include our vows in the video?

Yes! We believe that audio plays a crucial role in making your wedding day unforgettable—something you’ll cherish for years to come. That’s why we capture the heartfelt vows from your ceremony and the memorable speeches from your reception, allowing you to relive all those special moments.

What is your editing style for videos?

You have full control over the look and feel of your final video. Whether you prefer light and airy, dark and moody, or true-to-color edits, we’ll customize the style to match your vision.

You also get to choose the editing structure—linear or non-linear—as well as the music, audio clips, and other creative elements. It’s your story, told your way.

Do you offer Drone footage?

Some of our packages include stunning drone footage—or you can easily add it on! As long as your venue allows it and the weather cooperates, we’ll capture breathtaking aerial views of your day from above.

Can I pick the music for my wedding highlight video?

Absolutely! We’d love your input. You can help by sharing the style or type of music you’d like featured in your highlight video. If you’re not sure where to start, feel free to contact our office—we’ll be happy to send you links to the music libraries we’re licensed to use.

Just a quick note: due to music licensing laws, some popular songs aren’t available without special permissions. If there’s a specific licensed track you’d like included, we can look into it for you—just keep in mind that there may be an additional fee.

 

Is there a benefit to book multiple event services with one company?

Yes – Bundling our services together only benefits the customer! Our team of photographers, videographers, DJs, coordinators, and photo booth attendants have worked together on many events and do it in an efficient and fun way! There is also typically savings involved when you bundle Complete Weddings + Events services together.

When will I hear from my videographer?

Your videographer will reach out by Sunday the week of your wedding to review your timeline, discuss important shots, and gather any other details to help us capture your day perfectly.

What is your editing style?

You get to choose the look and feel of your final images. Whether you prefer light and airy, dark and moody, or true-to-color edits, we’ll tailor the style to match your vision.

Do you have insurance?

Yes, we maintain a $2 million liability policy, along with general coverage and workers’ compensation for all of our team members. Your event’s safety and peace of mind are always a priority.

How much space do you need for set up?

We require a 10 x 10-foot space to set up our equipment. We bring all necessary tables, cables, and gear—so all you need to provide is the designated space and access to electricity.

Is set up/tear down part of my package hours?

Setup and teardown is always done on our own time and is not counted against your package hours. Your coverage begins at the time you ask us to be set up and ready. 

Do you charge a travel fee?

Nope! Our packages are all-inclusive. That means travel, setup, and any standard fees are already included—no hidden costs or surprises.

How many printouts do you print per session?

We offer UNLIMITED prints! If 10 people jump in for a photo, we’ll print 11 copies—one for each guest and an extra for your scrapbook. Everyone goes home with a memory, and you get a keepsake, too!

What size are the photo booth print outs?

You get to choose! We offer the traditional 2″ x 6″ photo strip or a modern 4″ x 6″ print—both custom-designed just for your event.

How many people can fit in your booth at once?

We offer an open-air photo booth, which means there’s no enclosure—so there’s no real limit to how many guests can join in the fun! We’ve even had as many as 22 people in one photo. The more, the merrier!.

Can you take song requests at the event?

Yes! Our DJs come prepared with a library of over 15,000 popular songs, ready to keep the party going. We’re happy to take requests from you and your guests throughout the event—as long as they align with the preferences and guidelines you’ve shared with us in advance.

Is there a charge for overtime?

Yes, overtime is $200 per hour and is paid directly to your event team member at the time of the event. Payment can be made via cash or Venmo.

What is your cancellation/refund policy?

While booking fees are non-refundable, any additional payments made toward your event are refundable up to 45 days before your scheduled date. After that, all payments are considered final as we begin securing your team and preparing for your big day.

Can the DJ help with the sound for my ceremony as well?

Absolutely! We’ve seen so many couples try to save a little by handling their own ceremony sound, only to have things go wrong—missed cues, no microphones, or someone inexperienced running the music. That moment is too important to risk. That’s why we now include ceremony sound at no extra cost in all of our Signature packages. After all, the most important part of the day is saying “I do,” right?

What makes you different than other DJs?

It’s more than just music — it’s the full experience.

Professional, Personality-Matched DJs – We don’t just send anyone. We take time to get to know your style and match you with a DJ who fits your vibe perfectly—whether that’s high-energy hype or cool and classy.

Custom Planning + Support – You’re never on your own. Our detailed planning tools and one-on-one meetings make sure your timeline flows smoothly and your vision comes to life.

More Than Music – Our DJs act as your event host—keeping things on schedule, reading the crowd, and making sure the energy stays just right from start to finish.

Reliable + Experienced – We’ve done thousands of events. That means we’re ready for anything—your event is in professional hands. We also have backup equipment and staff in case any emergency arises.  

All-In-One Convenience – Need photo booth, photography, videography, or lighting too? We’ve got you covered, and it all works together seamlessly.

How do you assign a DJ?

Choosing the right DJ for your event involves several important factors. We carefully assign your DJ based on our conversations with you, your planning preferences, familiarity with your venue, availability, and more—ensuring the best possible fit for your celebration.

Do you attend the ceremony rehearsal?

Our standard package doesn’t include the ceremony rehearsal—unless it takes place on the wedding day itself. If your rehearsal is on a different day, you can add that service to your package. Otherwise, we’ll provide you with a detailed guide to help make your ceremony rehearsal seamless and stress-free.

How long will it take to receive my wedding video?

It typically takes up to 12 weeks for our post-production team to edit your video and get it back to you!

How will I receive my video?

You will receive a link via text and email containing all your video deliverables for downloading.  We encourage you to back up those memories in a forever space like the Cloud or a Google Drive.

Will I receive full print release of my photographs?

Yes! Complete Weddings + Events gives you these full rights to get your photos printed wherever you’d like. We also provide you with your photos in an online gallery so you can easily order prints, albums, and other memorabilia online. At Complete Weddings + Events, our goal is to shoot photos for you to have as a forever keepsake.

When will the photographer contact me to discuss wedding day details?

Your photographer will reach out to you 3 weeks out from your wedding date to set up a time to meet with you and go over all the details for your special day! They’ll also help you finalize your timeline if you haven’t done that yet, too!

When will I hear from my DJ?

Your DJ will reach out to you by Sunday, the week of your wedding date to set up a time to meet with you and go over all the details for your special day! They’ll also help you finalize your timeline if you haven’t done that yet, too!

How long will it take to receive my wedding photos?

It typically takes up to 60 days for our post-production team to edit your photos and get it back to you!

If we’re not comfortable in front of the camera, does the photographer give direction?

Yes, we understand not all our clients are natural models.  :-).  All of the Complete Weddings + Events photographers are professionals and able to give direction for you and your family/bridal party/friends so you look natural and always look your best. You’re able to work with them ahead of time to make sure they know of specific shots you’d like captured on your special day!

Can I pick my music?

Absolutely!  This is your day; whatever you want to listen to can be played! You’re able to customize your 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 to your DJ.

Can I go watch a DJ perform at a wedding?

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 adhere to the specific couple and their requests, so each wedding Complete Weddings + Events DJs perform at is so different.

How many hours will I need a DJ at a wedding reception?

Most wedding reception DJs are hired for 5 or 6 hours. Additional DJ or Emcee time is sometimes needed if you will need music or sound during your wedding ceremony.

What are the benefits of booking a DJ versus a band?

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 that typically has a set playlist. 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-$6,000.

Do you provide services to LGBTQ+ couples?

Yes. We want to help all couples find their happily ever after.

How far in advance should I book your services?

Generally, couples book Complete Weddings services 8 to 18 months out and even sooner for our busy months of May, September, October, and early November.

Is the full amount due for services due up front? Do you offer a payment plan?

Complete Weddings + Events just requires the booking fee at the time of reserving your service. The booking fee is no additional charge; it goes towards paying off part of your package. You can then pay whenever/however you’d like, as long as the remaining balance is paid off up to 30 days before your event, you’re good to go!

How can I make a deposit or payment?

To pay the booking fee and officially lock in your date with Complete Weddings + Events, visit completeeventmanager.com. Add in your email address and password (provided by your event consultant) to log in to your online account and make a deposit or payment.

Can we split up the contracted hours?

Unfortunately, our contracted hours are consecutive and cannot be split up on a 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 its fullest. 

Is gratuity included? How much do I tip?

Gratuity is not included in the Complete Weddings + Events’ services rate. Whatever you feel is best to tip your professional(s) at the end of the night is up to you! While a 10% to 20% tip for wedding vendors is a guide, nothing is expected, but it’s always appreciated.

Do you require a vendor meal?

While we never expect a full meal, our team is often working non-stop for 6 to 12 hours, so a meal is always appreciated. If your budget doesn’t allow for vendor meals, no problem at all—just give us a heads-up so we can plan accordingly and pack something.
