When I spoke with Elizabeth on the phone the week before the wedding about all of the details, she asked if we wanted to have any games at the wedding. I answered "absolutely not." She politely explained her past experience with integrating a few ice-breakers initially to get the guests involved early. I agreed with her professional opinion and things turned out perfectly! The ice-breakers she chose were creative and people seemed to really enjoy them. Great suggestion!
I had been at a wedding with the same DJ as we had a few months prior to our even and she was fun, energetic and it was commented by all the guests throughout the night how much they enjoyed her as a DJ. She was amazing! Very helpful, energetic and went above and beyond my expectations!! She had everyone involved, even the family members that normally would sit back and not participate had a great time because of her. She did an amazing job at keeping everyone entertained and part of the celebration. The service we recieved was above our expectations. I would recommend her to anyone. I could not be more pleased with our service. John and Megan Rowles Originally the price got us to choose Complete Music but Elizabeth will make us refer and choose Complete Music again. Our DJ was very caring, and did such a great job. We will def recommend her for other people in the future!! She was extremely friendly and very helpful. The other DJs in the past I've seen, have not been so caring, and making sure you are OK and making sure your night goes perfect, ours did!! Kori & William Armstrong SHE WAS GREAT, SHE WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND ON TOP OF EVERYTHING. WE BOTH WERE SO HAPPY W HOW SHE HANDLED EVERYTHING INCLUDING WHEN THE ELECTRICITY WENT OUT. SHE WAS NOT OBNOXIOUS AT ALL, SHE WAS INVOLVED BUT NOT ANNOYING. KEPT THE CROWD HAPPY. SHE WAS AWESOME. WHEN I CALLED CM, THEY WERE THE ONLY ONE THAT OFFERED TO MEET W ME AND MY FIANCE, THAT REALLY MADE THE DIFFERENCE. THEY DERSERVE AT LEAST A 15. THEY WORKED HARD, BUT ALSO SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE HAVING FUN IN THE PROCESS. BY FAR THE BEST DJ EITHER OF US HAVE EVER SEEN. I WAS PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED W LIZ . SHE HAD A FANTASTIC APPEARANCE AND PUT ON A GREAT PERFORMANCE. DID A GREAT JOB INTERACTING W THE CROWD. SHE ALSO DID A GREAT JOB OF KEEPING THE BRIDE HAPPY :) (Bar Mitzvah) Appearance: SOOOOOO amazing!!!
Elizabeth was are DJ and she was simply wonderful. She got my wife and I drinks carried our food for us got us water when we needed it,push me around in my wheelchair when my wife was busy.Her professional attitude far exceeded our expectations. LIZ DRESSED NICELY, BUT NOT UPSTAGING THE GUESTS. WE ASKED FOR LITTLE LIGHTS, AND SHE HONORED THAT. SHE WAS VERY COURTEOUS, SHE CARRIED OUR PLATES FROM BUFFET TO TABLE, HAD A SEWING KIT WHEN WE NEEDED, BROUGHT US WATER.ETC.GUESTS ARE STILL COMMENTING ON HOW GREAT OUR DJ WAS. SHE WAS ONE OF THE BEST DJS IVE SEEN, EXCELLENT SOUNDING EQUIPMENT, WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND.
ELIZABETH HANDLED EVERYTHING THE NIGHT OF THE WEDDING WHICH MADE IT ACTUALLY POSSIBLE FOR US AND OUR PARENTS TO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING AND ENJOY THE NIGHT! ONE OF THE BEST CHOICES WE MADE IN PLANNING OUR WEDDING! SHE DID EXACTLY AS WE ASKED WITH THE SOUND LEVEL, WHERE PEOPLE WERE ENCOURAGED TO DANCE BUT IT WASN'T SO LOUD THAT PEOPLE COULDN'T TALK AND MINGLE IF THEY WANTED TO! SHE WAS UPBEAT AND OUTGOING WITHOUT BEING OVER THE TOP! SHE WAS GREAT! I JUST CAN'T SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT HER!!
LIZ DID AN EXCELLENT JOB! SHE WAS HELPING US AND MADE THE ENTIRE NIGHT PERFECT! EVERYONE LOVED HER AND WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL GUESTS TELL US THEY LOVED THE DJ WE PICKED!
ELIZABETH IS BY FAR A COMPETITOR IN THE DJ MARKET. I WOULD FOR SURE REQUEST HER AGAIN. ![]() Profile Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc. Personality: Friendly & Multi-Talented Whether you want a fun party with adults or have lots of kids to entertain, Liz can handle both with ease, professionalism and class. She has special training working with kids but will delight any crowd! What is your DJ style? I have always been a service oriented person, so anything I can do to make the night better-whether you think it's my job or not, it is my pleasure to do. I love to help people enjoy the moment. That always includes the Bride and Groom, so from the moment they walk in the door they are fired for the night ! Favorite DJ memory? I love the Brown Bag Dance! Check it out on You Tube. Type in brown bag dance and see what I mean! Proudest Achievement as a DJ? At a 40th Anniversary party, which was small and perfect, something I was proud to be a part of. In my evaluation, there was a small hand written note the daughter had sent, telling me that I was loved like one of the family--a great compliment that sits on my refrigerator door! What are your specialties? Definitely my organization and preparedness. I love to know as much as I can so the night will go smoothly. If something should go off track, I have a Mary Poppins like bag that helps in almost any emergency. I am also specially trained to work with children. Favorite part of the night? When everyone is on the dance floor and you can tell that they are lost on the great joy of great company and music that is making a memory that will make them smile each time they think about it! Favorite party song: Shout by Otis Day and the Knights. I love it because there are very few people that can resist coming to the floor and singing, "Hey-a-a-ay!" Why did you become a DJ? A fellow DJ came to me and said, "You should be a DJ!" I thought that sounds like fun... And it is! Fun Fact: I love music videos, and learning the dances to them. So if you want to know Beyonce's "Single Ladies" dance or event N*SYNC's "Bye Bye Bye", I am your girl! ![]() |

(16th Birthday Party) Jeff was great. He contacted me early on and we went over what Peyton wanted. He mad suggestions and we took them and everything was awesome! Jeff was professional, but at the same time very personable. We could not have asked for better service. He was perfect. Unfortunately we will be moving on to a new duty station in August, but we will pass on the company information to the NOSC St. Louis and to any friends or family that may need your services. We were 100% satisfied and if we weren't moving would gladly call on Complete Music again. Thank you for making Peyton's 16th Birthday one she will always remember. Paula Cheves He was such a blessing to have. I could not have picked a better DJ myself. I would definitely ask for him again when we have another event. He came out and danced with the guests & definitely kept the party moving. We had several older guests and a lot of the younger crowd & he was able to please them all. Jeff is definitely an exceptional DJ. My brother had wanted to hire a band but I insisted on the DJ & he said afterward that he was glad I pushed for the DJ because he was perfect for the occasion & our mom had the best time. Thank you. ABOVE AND BEYOND FROM OTHERS! VERY PLEASING, FUN, PATIENT WITH US, AND OUTGOING! CM GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND ... I DIDN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING. JEFF TOOK CARE OF EVERYONE.

![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc. Personality: Franchise Operations Director For the past 13 years, he has been responsible for the ongoing training of our entire DJ staff, the maintenance of all systems, and handles daily operations and sales. After over 13 years with Complete Music he has become irreplaceable. What is your role as the Operations Director? It is by far the best run, most professional job I have ever had. In a business where DJ Companies come and go, owners don't maintain control over their company, and anyone who has a CD Player and an internet connection, calls themselves DJs, Complete Music sets the standard for what a REAL DJ company should be. When I joined the team in 1996, I had some experience working for another company but quickly learned, I knew very little. The training I received was amazing. Other outfits just don't come close to providing the ongoing training and tools to be successful.

He was wonderful!!!! He went around to the tables during dinner and took requests - we got so many compliments for this and it kept everyone dancing all night long. We did the Cupid Shuffle, and while everyone was still up on the floor, our DJ switched to Thriller and taught a similar "Thriller" version of the dance that was easy to learn. We had so much fun...people were making Zombie noises by the end of it. He was excellent in comparison to other DJs we've seen. Angie and Jake Young Our DJ was so much more involved with the wedding. He interacted with the crowd and the wedding party. We got compliments from everyone we talked to, about our awesome DJ! We loved how he made everyone feel included. We loved our DJ! He made us feel special, important, and well cared for! Jenna and Cedric Cunnigan Complete Music does a more professionaly job and better selection of music He did a great job, perfect personality for this age group. was very outgoing and a lot of fun for all. (Sweet 16) Jan Perry Jelani was a doll! We love him--people are still talking about how great he was! He really got everyone to dance! Our DJ (Jelani) was outstanding. Anytime ever in the future we need a DJ or know of anyone needing a DJ, we're recommending Jelani!!!! Kate and Ryan Papke
![]() Jelani offers a young and fresh perspective on DJ Entertainment. His energy and enthusiasm to throw a fun party is infectious. How would you describe your “DJ Personality”? I consider my DJ Personality to be very fun and engaging. I love to do the dances with the wedding party. What is your favorite DJ memory? My favorite DJ memory is when Fredbird was a guest at reception. The bride and groom loved it and I had a blast doing dances with Fredbird! He sure can do the Cupid Shuffle! What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? My favorite part about being a DJ is that I get to essentially party with great people as my job! You can’t beat it! What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? I am a great motivator. It is likely that if no one else is shakin’ their money maker, I am bustin’ a move behind the booth. What is your favorite part of the night? Later in the night when most everyone is willing to dance! By now, you probably know that I like to dance! What is your favorite party song? To date, I would say “Party Rock Anthem” by LMFAO Why did you become a DJ? It has always been a goal of mine to be a professional DJ. I love to party, I love to dance, and I love to help others to have a great time! This job is all of this and more.

VERY PROFESSIONAL! TED EVEN SENT US A THANK YOU CARD! WE FELT LIKE WE SHOULD BE THANKING HIM! COORDINATED EVERYTHING AND HELPED US PLAN. IT IS THE BEST DJ SERVICE I HAVE SEEN.
HE MIXED IN W THE GUESTS VERY WELL. I WOULD HIRE HIM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.THE DANCE FLOOR REMAINED FULL THE ENTIRE TIME. THE BEST! TED PLAYED EVERYTHING WE ASKED HIM TO AND ADHERED TO OUR NO PLAY LIST AS WELL.
HE DID GREAT TEACHING THE CUPID SHUFFLE AND ELEC SLIDE. HE WENT OVER EVERY DETAIL AND MADE SUGGESTIONS WHICH PUT US AT EASE. EVERYONE LOVED THE REMEDIAL DISCO LESSONS!
TED WAS INVOLVED AND LOOKED LIKE HE ENJOYED WHAT HE WAS DOING AND WANTED TO BE THERE. ![]() Personality: Sweaty Teddy After almost 20 years with Complete Music, Ted-"Sweaty Teddy"-Burke has built a reputation as one of the most outgoing, interactive DJs you'll ever see. In extremely high demand, we recommend calling in early if you have your heart set on Ted. DJ Personality Style: I am a chameleon. While I enjoy getting out on the dance floor with my guests and whooping it up with them, I can also be the "dignified butler" as well as any other type of personality my particular clients may want. I enjoy instructing guests on how to do dances like the Cupid Shuffle and I always emphasize that I will never ask my guests to do something that I am not willing to do myself. Favorite DJ Memory? I was playing at a hall that had tow other weddings going on and Complete Music Djs were in those two other rooms as well. During the Dollar Dance, I was told there was a small fire going in one of the other rooms and that I must evacuate everybody in an orderly fashion immediately, So I announced to everybody to please gather their belongings and family and please exit into the foyer area and outside as quickly and orderly as possible. The bride said "You're kidding" to which I replied "No I am not." My cohort in the back starts playing Don't Worry Be Happy as his group heads outside. I started playing Smoke Gets In Your Eyes and they DJ where the fire was happening played HOT HOT HOT and those guests suddenly merge with the other two bridal parties and exit the hall while doing a Conga line outside in the parking lot around the Fire Engines and singing to the firefighters "Are you feeling HOT HOT HOT...etc?" and the brides threw their veils in the air in a tribute to the fire fighters! No one was hurt, there was no real damage and the hall owner extended their time for an extra hour. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? It's knowing that on one of the most important and stressful day's of my clients lives they are entrusting me to guide them and get them and their guests through the day so that THEY can enjoy themselves. What makes you unique/stand out? I always remind the clients that I've got their back, and that they are the most important people in the world to me that night because out of all their guests coming that night, NOBODY came to see me! Favorite part of the night? While the dancing is obviously the most fun to me, I have to say that my favorite part is actually the end when I see how happy everybody is. When the clients tell me, "Thank you Ted, we could not have done this without you" I still smile and get that warm feeling that comes from making others happy. Favorite party song: Paradise By The Dashboard Lights is one of my favorite group dances, especially when couples choose to do the "Battle of The Sexes" during the song. Fun fact: Dr. Ruth Westheimer and I shared a chicken salad sandwich once. My favorite though is I made the cover of the Riverfront Times and was the cover story for that issue! ![]() |

-Our DJ, James, was awesome! Mary, Nathan's grandmother, spoke highly of our DJ (that speaks volume). I couldn't have asked for a better DJ. He was very accommodating by making sure the volume was okay and overall how we were doing. For him to participate in the dancing festivities was a special touch to the party and bumped up the party volume. DJ was dressed to our expectations and was very presentable Elizabeth and Nathan Skid I FOUND THE DJ TO BE VERY ATTENTIVE--HE FOUND ME SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK THAT I WAS HAPPY WITH THE MUSIC SELECTION, VOLUME, ETC. ABOVE AND BEYOND. JAMES WAS WONDERFUL. A LITTLE ADDED TOUCH, HE BROUGHT A BLOW UP GUITAR FOR THE KIDS. EVERYONE LOVED IT. I'D BOOK AGAIN! JAMES WAS VERY ATTENTIVE, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE. KEPT GUESTS ENTERTAINED AND DANCING THEIR TUSHIES OFF! EXCELLENT! VERY HELPFUL W ALL QUESTIONS AND REQUESTS. JAMES IS A REALLY A NICE GUY. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMPLETE MUSIC. I FOUND THE DJ TO BE VERY ATTENTIVE--HE FOUND ME SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK THAT I WAS HAPPY WITH THE MUSIC SELECTION, VOLUME, ETC. ![]() Personality: Moderate James is an experienced professional with a knack for organization and coordinating a smooth-running event. After a short hiatus, James returned to us in 2008 and we couldn't be happier to have him back on staff, sweating the small stuff and putting smiles on faces. How would you describe your “DJ Personality” or “DJ Style”? I would say that I am a moderate DJ.I really like to be involved in getting everyone out on the dance floor at the beginning of a party, but I also think that people are going to do what they want to do, and so I try to let people do their thing after a while.If I were asked to be outgoing, I have no problem doing that, or if I’m asked to be laid back, that’s ok, too.Most important to me is that everyone has a good time! What is your favorite DJ memory? –or– What was the funniest thing to ever happen at an event? That’s really hard to answer since there are a lot!Probably the funniest thing (and momentarily scariest thing) I’ve had happen was at a 50th anniversary party.The guests of honor were having a great time waltzing around the dance floor until somehow they got tangled up and both went down.I was scared to death that both would have to go to the hospital.They stayed on the ground for a few moments, but not because they were hurt but because they were laughing so hard!They jumped back up and continued dancing all night! What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? –or– What is your proudest achievement as a DJ? My favorite thing about being a DJ is definitely that moment when I know I’m throwing an awesome party.When I look out and see the dance floor packed with a smile on everyone’s face, and it doesn’t stop all night.Also, at the end of the night when the Bride and Groom or host tells me that I made their party. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? –or– What are your specialties as a DJ? All of our DJs our unique in some way, or else we wouldn’t be doing this.If I had to pick a specialty, I suppose I would say the lights.I love playing with them and switching them up.It may not sound like much, but trust me, if the lights stay the same all night, or even through one song, it can kill the mood quickly. What is your favorite part of the night? I suppose I answered this already.My favorite part is when I see everyone having a good time and knowing that I’m a part of it!I do also like the beginning of the night when I’m making sure that everything runs smoothly in the important events. What is your favorite party song? Again, very hard to answer since it changes frequently and with different crowds.At this moment it’s probably either Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard or I Got A Feeling by Black Eyed Peas. Why did you become a DJ? Truthfully, I originally started back in 2000 because I needed money and I loved music!Now, I do it because I love being a DJ!Where else can you get paid to orchestrate a party?It’s just so darn fun! List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I ran to the top of the Eiffel Tower in 1997.Yes, ran.Upon reaching the top I celebrated by throwing up over the top!They frown upon that, by the way. ![]() |

Although Complete Music deals with many many clients each day, they always treated me like they truly valued my business. Everyone was always friendly and kind. It was more personal than I think some companies are. Bob was wonderful! The playlist was perfect!
Bob was fantastic! He was fun without being cheesy or over-the-top. He took care of everything so I didn't have to. He even found a rare version of our first song. You have a new referral source from us. We'll send our friends and family your way! ![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc.

We had TJ and he was awesome! He really catered to our wants and he had the dance floor packed the entire evening. We really loved his enthusiasm and how responsive he was to our requests. We also really appreciate how flexible he was when we wanted to extend the party for another hour and half! He was a great DJ and I would definitely recommend him to other. He really helped make our day much more special! Sarah and Michael Mitchell Homecoming Dance: He worked great with my students. Only positive things were said after the dance, this is a first for me! Students music request were played. I was not treated well by other DJ companies. Complete Music went over the top to work with my students and myself. I am happy to use them in the future and will pass along my DJs name! Trinity Catholic School My Dj was TJ and he was much better then the other Dj's I have seen. He was very friendly and was able to read the crowd and change the music accordingly. He was also much better at hosting the night then some I have seen. Kim and Rick Davis Our DJ was awesome! He was so very helpful in chosing song choices for our event. He was fun...entertaining...abd just a lot of fun!! I would highly recommened him and Complete Music to people for their events. I saw Complete Music at the STL BRidal show and their enthusiasm and energy is what sold me. All the other DJ Booths were so low key.. and boring. And that the last thing you want at a wedding. There is no comparison. Complete Music is in a league of their own. You guys deliver what alot of other DJ company's don't. And that is pure fun!! Shana and Tim Tiepelman The communication between Complete Music and the client was stupendous. Complete Music kept in contact with us during the process and helped to make the night what we had expected. I have to say I think that I had the best DJ out there and that was also said by my guest I`ve never seen a DJ that pretty much hosted the entire party and played great music had the whole crowd out of there seats I will recommend him to everyone. We were extremely pleased with Complete Music. Our DJ was very focused on us and making our event a huge success. We got numerous complements on TJ's professionalism and willingness to take requests. We saw Complete Music DJ another wedding we attended and liked the way they handled the crowd. He was very friendly and extremely accommodating to our requests. Our Complete DJ did an excellent job of reading the crown and adapting what he played to what people wanted to hear. Jessica and Brian Chackes Whenever I happened to call, they were always willing to answer all of my questions, and any concerns. They listened to everthing and followed through with it. The night of the event, they took care of us and made sure that we were pleased. I've never seen the dance floor full for the ENTIRE night like ours was!!! The songs that I didn't want played were NOT played, and the songs that i requested were played. He was SOOOOO sweet! Checked on us throughout the evening and even got us our drinks so we wouldn't have to wait in the line. Listened to everything we had to say. He taught Cupid Shuffle- allowing those who didn't know it to dance, and when people finally got it, he backed off and let us dance! Conga line was RIDICULIOUS- EVERYONE was in it, I've NEVER seen it work that good, everyone listened to his instructions. He had a very positive and cheerful attitude. The dance floor was full the ENTIRE night, so I'd say that's pretty impressive to keep the crowd going like that.
![]() How would you describe your “DJ Personality” ? I am a very versatile D.J I really enjoy getting on the dance floor interacting with the crowd and teaching dances, or i can just play the music you select, I do everything I can to make sure the reception will exceed your expectations. What is your favorite DJ memory? My favorite memory was the first time I saw the Hava Nagila performed, it went on for at least ten minutes, and the Bride and Groom were being raised up and down on the chairs, then the grandparents also got tossed up and down on the chairs, while all the family and friends were around them cheering and dancing, just a very fun special moment for all involved. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? My favorite thing about being a DJ, with out a doubt is looking out on the dance floor, seeing the bride with a huge smile on her face, dancing with her husband and having all of her family and friends around her. Knowing that I helped make the most important night of her life even that much more special is the best feeling a person can get. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? I have met other DJ's and i think one thing that sets me apart is my willingness to work with the bride and groom, and their crowd. I am not stuck in my ways, or determined to do something my way, I adapt to every situation, and work with everyone to make sure they leave beyond satisfied. What is your favorite part of the night? At my shows the whole night is special, I enjoy hearing family and friends making a toast to the newelyweds and being there to hear all the funny stories and heart felt words. I also love having a packed dance floor with me out there with them, keeping the party fun and a smile on the brides face. What is your favorite party song? I could spend all day thinking up a list of great party songs and another day trying to pick a favorite. Black Eyed Peas "I Gotta Feeling" packs the floor everytime, so really my favorite song varies from night to night with whatever the crowd will love. Why did you become a DJ? I became a DJ because I love music, I really enjoy the atmosphere, and the satsfaction of a newely married couple coming up to me at the end of the night thanking me and telling me I made the night amazing is a feeling that is second to none. List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I have travled to 15 different states and been out of the country to play hockey, and was the top goal scorer in the state of MO. during my high school career! ![]() |

Ryan did a great job overall. But most importantly were the personal touches he put on my night. Ryan carried my food to the table for me and even offered to do so for my husband as well! He wasnt overbearing or pushy and consistantly checked in with me to ensure my night was just perfect and wanted to make sure I was happy with the tempo of the evening. Ryan was amazing and I would have him host any of my parties in the future. He was much more than just a DJ to me that evening. However, I have spoke with a number of members with Complete DJ and they have all been great. I am in the business of customer service and have personally seen the slip in really trying to make the guest happy....so it is soooo great to see a company who still wants and believes in that. Much thanks to Ryan and the entire team! Kelly and Jeremy Clouse Ryan was great. He played a wide variety of music and was very professional. I would recommend him again. Danielle and Chris Corrigan Our event was not typical and Ryan was very flexible and friendly with the variations and when the schedule needed to be changed to accommodate late family members he rolled with it and that was very important to us. Ryan was friendly and felt like one of the guest he did not stand off by himself he interacted with everyone just like we wanted and really made our event personal. Thanks Ryan! Lori and Duane Risley ![]() Profile Questionnaire How would you describe your DJ Personality? I am versatile. I am easy going, calm and really want my clients to have a great time. What is your favorite DJ memory? I love seeing middle-aged to seniors aged guests breaking it down on the dance floor. It was awesome seeing a grandfather dance to Time Warp!

Glenn was easy to work with and tailored our needs into a wonderful experience for our guests. He was very pleasant and professional. We would certainly request him again! :) Tiffany and Andrew Snipes Glen was extremely friendly and polite and he really listened to what we wanted. Complete Music (particularly Glen, our DJ) was way more interested in making us happy than any other DJ I've seen. He was fun, but not pushy; enthusiastic, but not annoying. He really was the perfect DJ for our event. Glenn looked very professional, clean, and friendly. Our DJ, Glen, was great! He played every song we asked and any requests that my guests had were played right away also. We had a few kids at my reception and he was great with playing the songs that they asked for too. We'd rate him a 110%!! ![]() Glenn has a very upbeat, confident and outgoing personality. He is professional and fun without being cheesy.
How would you describe your “DJ Personality” or “DJ Style”? Organized, thorough, dependable, outgoing, professional and fun! What is your favorite DJ memory? My favorite DJ memory is one of which I found out after speaking with the groom about his reception details. It turned out that he was a brother of my college fraternity! Needless to say, we got along great and I was able to go beyond the extra mile to make the night as memorable as it could be. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? My favorite thing about being a DJ is knowing that I have the confidence of the guest(s) of honor. By the end of the event, I want everyone to be able to think back and say, “That was the best time I’ve ever had”. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? My attention to detail and organizational skills make me stand out as a DJ. Not only will you get great entertainment with me, you will also get a professional presentation. What is your favorite part of the night? My favorite part of the night is when we open the dance floor to everyone! It has to be awesome because it sets the mood for the rest of the evening! What is your favorite party song? My favorite party song is “One More Time” by Daft Punk. Why did you become a DJ? I became a DJ because I wanted to have a cool DJ name that I would go by. Turns out my name doesn’t really rhyme with anything cool, but I’m still here and I love it! List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I love to run and I have ran 2 marathons to date. ![]() |

We are so pleased with the superb job and unique ideas that they brought to our special day. Our guests are still raving about the magic tricks that they performed for the kids, before we arrived, and all of the great entertainment that they put together. They were well prepared and it definitely showed.Knowing that Joe and Justin involved our guests made us very, very happy. Everyone also liked the huge group hug at the end of the night. And the kids can’t stop talking about the ‘grocery trip’ dance with the disco wig. Many people have been saying that it’s the best reception that they have ever been to and that they will remember it forever. Joe and Justin did a great job of entertaining all the age groups and really kept the energy level soaring. They also did a great job communicating with Chris and I and were very flexible with the time permitted. There wasn’t a moment at our wedding when there were people sitting at their tables looking at the dance floor – everyone was up, dancing and continued to dance until the end. Our guests were not ready for the reception to be over, to say the least. Joe and Justin exceeded our expectations and went above and beyond.
He was very kid friendly which was very important considering the bride and groom has a 5 year old!! We loved how he let our daughter Krystal use his mic and sing along to Talylor Swift. NOTHING COMPARES TO JOE. WOULDN'T USE ANYONE ELSE! CM GAVE US THE MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK. ALSO, YOUR DJ'S ARE WONDERFUL. I LIKED THAT HE WENT AROUND AND ASKED IF THERE WERE ANY SONGS THEY WISHED TO HEAR. HE WAS VERY COURTEOUS, RESPECTFUL, AND FUN W/OUT BEING OVER THE TOP.; JOE DID A GREAT JOB, HE MADE THE NIGHT A SUCCESS FOR US.
WE HAD THE BEST NIGHT OF OUR LIVES. EVERYONE COMMENTED ON THE MUSIC AND FUN INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE DJ AND THE PARTY. I can't say enough how AMAZING Joe Fingerhut was!! He made the reception! All everyone talked about was how this was the best reception they had been to and I believe it was all Joe! He knew how to keep people on the dance floor and keep the party going! The night wouldn't have been the same without him! I knew from the first time I met Matt at the farmington show that this would be the place we went too. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful! Joe did an amazing job making sure everything was great! he truly went above and beyond his dj duties even offering to refill our drinks! Thanks so much! It was perfect! Joe made sure everyone was involved young and old! I've never seen so many people doing the "Thriller" Shuffle! One of my favorite parts of the night! Joe did an amazing job playing an older array of songs at the beginning for the older guests and then once the night went on getting into the more pop music and stuff for the younger later crowd. It was amazing couldn't have went better. Joe was amazing spending a great balance of time behind the dj equipment and out on the floor with the guest! Everyone loved how he interacted and came out and chatted with them. Things could not have went better! Tiffany & Kirk Thorp
![]() Photo at left and below left courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc. Personality: Jack of all Trades Joe brings so much to the table it is hard to know where to begin. Not only is he an extremely popular wedding DJ, he is amazing with kids. Able to do everything from teaching even young kids dances, to magic tricks, to balloon animals, you have probably never seen a DJ quite like Joe. At his receptions, everyone leaves feeling like a kid all over again. He is one of our most requested DJs so availability may be limited. ![]() |

I felt Complete Music values their reputation and would do everything possible to uphold it. James was extremely frienldy and our guests really liked him. He understood exactly what type of music we wanted and we wouldnt change a single song that he played. We were worried that people wouldnt dance but that definitely was not a problem. My other experiences with DJs have been with friends and our DJ did just as good a job knowing our music preferences as friends did. Meghan and Justus Arnett ![]() |

Matt was awesome! He was way more than what we were expecting! I will totally be recommending Complete and Matt to anyone needing a DJ Every single person that attended my wedding reception came to me and tole me, "That was the best reception I have ever been too, your DJ made it incredible!" He was very thorough and considerate. Other DJs really dont compare. I think Complete Music and Matt Fox was more than I ever imagined! Tiffany and Michael Radake My guests loved the song selections and the ability to request music. Matt did a great job with the games/dances. The shoe game was something that everyone enjoyed, including Dave and me. The highilght of the evening was the Conga line, and I dont think anyyone would have been on the line if they were still sober at the start of the festivities! I received several + comments from guests a few days following the reception, so I'd say he did a phenomenal job. Complete seems to be more involved with the guests. Christine and David Hynes HE WAS AWESOME! EVERYONE WAS ON THE DANCE FLOOR HAVING A GREAT TIME THE ENTIRE NIGHT. HE LISTENED TO OUR NEEDS AS WELL AS OUR GUESTS. NOBODY WANTED THE PARTY TO END! I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS DJ TO ANYONE!
OTHER DJ'S WERE NOT AS INVOLVED--THEY MORE JUST HIT PLAY AND LET IT GO. MATT WAS SO WONDERFUL AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN DJ'S KEEP THE KIDS ENTERTAINED. I GOT SO MANY COMPLIMENTS ABOUT HIM! EVERY SINGLE SONG SELECTION WAS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
MATT MADE THE PARTY AND TOOK CARE OF ME AND ALEX VS. JUST PLAYING SONGS. MATT WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND. HE MADE OUR RECEPTION LIVELY. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
THE CREATIVITY AND ENERGY OF OUR DJ HAS OUTSHINED ANY OTHER DJS WE HAD SEEN.
MATT WAS SO NICE AND PROFESSIONAL.. HE HAD A GREAT PERSONALITY AND FIT IN WELL W MY GUESTS! PLAYED THE REQUESTS AND EVEN LED A FEW DANCES (CUPID AND ELECTRIC SLIDE, HE'S GOT SUCH AN OUTGOING PERSONALITY! WE WERE RUNNING LATE AND WERE A LITTLE FRAZZLED WHEN WE GOT THERE BUT THERE WAS MATT GREETING US ALL WITH A FRESH COLD BEER WHEN WE ARRIVED! HE'S TRULY AN ASSET TO YOUR CO. I ALSO RECEIVED A NICE THANK YOU CARD FROM HIM. ,YOU COULD TELL THAT IT WASNT JUST A BASIC TEMPLATE EITHER. HE INCLUDED HIS FAVORITE PARTS OF THE EVENING AND EVEN MY DAUGHTERS SILLY DANCE! HE WAS PART OF THE RECEPTION, NOT JUST A GUY PLAYING MUSIC. PHENOMENAL!
Our DJ was phenomenal! Every guest we spoke with commented on how good our DJ was during the event. He was flexible, accommodating, and extremely enthusiastic. He really MADE our wedding. If he weren't involved, I don't think we would have such great memories. ![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc.

Brandon Gray Office Staff

| Show Bio | |
![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc.
While Brandon’s office responsibilities may keep him from doing more than a handful of shows each year, he is a vital part of Complete Music and Video team. More than just a sales guy, he oversees our DJ Advisory Panel, is the administrator for Complete Music University, manages the DJs that make up our satellite offices in Central Illinois, does on-site evaluations of DJs at their events, and, as our liaison to the rest of the special events world for the last 10 years, has become the face of Complete Music and Video to many of the vendors and venues with whom we work. What is your favorite thing about coming to work every day? Well, I’ve been doing it for 10 years, and some days are filled with more paperwork than fun stuff. My favorite time of the year, though, is before the big wedding season hits. I love building quotes and helping people plan their events. Anything mundane or lacking in creativity bores me to tears, so I love those clients that want something new or different. I even love the calls where they know they want something big and fun, but they have no idea what simply because we get to brainstorm. I like thinking big. I like building things that are bold and creative, but most of all I want the events and videos we create to be memorable. I like being a part of events that people really do talk about. The other thing I love that is a part of almost every day is working with the DJ and video staff. It’s an interesting role not being the direct supervisor for most of them (that’s Scott’s job for the DJs, Matt’s job for the videographers and editors), so my role gets to be that of a mentor much more often than a “boss.” Having a leadership role based more on creative direction than hard-line policies and management is exciting because it means I’m always working on something new. Thinking outside the box and working with Scott on DJ stuff and Matt on video to coming up with new, creative ways of doing things to ensure our product never becomes stale. Often, the DJs and videographers themselves are the source of that creativity, bringing us new ideas that we can tweak or polish before presenting them to the rest of the staff. Much more than anyone outside our management team realizes, this process is pretty much on-going. Something new relating to improving show quality, video quality, or the way we do business crosses my desk every single day, whether it is from Scott, the DJs, our corporate office, or right from my own crazy brain, and I sift through them hoping for one of those “Aha!” moments when a really great one comes along. Okay, you’re the sales manager… what’s the best reason you can give for booking Complete Music and Video? 99% of the 2200+ events we do each year (1900 of them DJ shows in the St. Louis area alone) gave Complete Music and Video a grade of 95% or better. I know our mothers warned us about peer pressure, but really… could that many people be wrong? I mean, that’s a DJ service with a 4.0 grade average in customer satisfaction. I’ll let you in on a secret. Complete Music and Video believes everyone deserves a great wedding video and every party has the potential to be epic in its own way. We plan for people to tell stories about how much fun they had even knowing that no two parties are going to want the exact same things. We equip our DJs not just with an unimaginably large arsenal of tricks they take with them to every show, but the training to know how and when to use them. Great parties don’t just happen because your friends are fun and love to dance or even because good music was played. Great parties happen when all the pieces fall into place, and great videos happen when people that really know what they’re doing are on-hand to capture it as it unfolds. In a lot of ways, Complete Music invented the DJ business. You wouldn’t put your health in the hands of someone that just said he was a doctor but had never been to school, so why trust the biggest party you’ll ever throw to someone who just says he’s a DJ? Why, when you can get a DJ from the company that not only invented the business but invented the school. Hiring a 2ND rate DJ to do your wedding would be as ridiculous as us buying 2ND rate equipment. Your entertainment reflects as directly on you as our equipment purchases reflect on us; probably more so. What’s kept you at Complete Music for the last 10 years? I love it. Even when I’m buried at work or stuck at my desk until the wee hours of the morning, I still love the work. I DJ’d on my own and with other DJ companies before Complete Music and the experience was so much more raw and chaotic. The business side of Complete Music – the organization, the training, the professionalism – creates this well-oiled machine that makes working here a much more consistently pleasant experience. As a DJ, even before I was management, there was this sort of peace and confidence that came with truly understanding what I was doing. We are in the business of making people happy and one of our primarily tools is music, something that is more than a little subjective. (For instance, you should have been in the room for the debate that ensued when a friend of mine at a party made the statement that the Eagles were more talented than the Beatles.) Understanding how to take all the information in, process it, and put together a great event is something that doesn’t come 100% naturally to anyone. Proper training, ongoing training, which continues throughout a DJ’s career, takes that natural talent and turns him or her into a weapon of mass entertainment. Watching our DJs go out and rock the house time and time again… Watching bride after bride cry watching videos we created… that’s a bonus that just won’t fit on a paycheck. Sales manager jobs are a dime-a-dozen. Working day in and day out on that you are totally passionate about, something that makes you laugh and makes you smile, something where you have creative input and get to help put together… how many people get to say that? ![]() |

Matt was very courteous, polite and helpful. He showed us how the dance steps should go if we didnt know the dance he was suggesting. We loved his suggestions. Chose and played the Icebreaker songs at the right time. Seemed to alwasys be working the crowd to get them moving.
We all honestly felt as if Matt was a friend and not someone whom we had just met. He was sincerely there to make our night amazing. COMPLETE MUSIC WAS THE MOST USED BY FRIENDS AND RECOMMENDED BY ALL THOSE WE TALKED TO. MATT HESSE WAS WONDERFUL WITH US, HELPING IN THE PLANNING AND RUNNING THE NIGHT. WE LOVED HOW HE PLAYED OUR REQUESTS AND THE GREAT CHOICES IN KEEPING THE PARTY LIVELY! I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM TO OTHERS.
HE FELT LIKE OUR OWN PERSONAL BUTLER-DID EVERYTHING WE ASKED OF HIM AND MORE!
MATT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN OTHER DJS. THE LAST DJ I SAW HAD A LOT OF SOUND FEEDBACK, WHICH I HATED. AFTER AS WELL AS DURING RECEPTION, A LOT OF MY GUESTS COMMENTED ON HOW GOOD THE MUSIC SOUNDED AND GREAT VARIETY--MY FAMILY IS VERY INTO GOOD MUSIC.
MATT WAS WONDERFUL! MY HUSBAND SAID NUMEROUS TIMES HOW GREAT IT WAS THAT WE GOT TO THE RECEPTION AND HE MET US WITH A GLASS OF WATER, WE NEEDED THAT! ![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc. Personality: Moderate With over 13 years at Complete Music and over 600 events performed, Matt Hesse is extremely versatile. Unassuming by nature, Matt can do every icebreaker in our arsenal without ever being mistaken for an attention hog.
How would you describe your “DJ Style”? I adapt to whatever personality the client would like me to be for their special evening.However, I am usually dancing behind my system while looking up music.Sometimes I even break it down on the dance floor with Grandma or Mom or whoever I think needs a lift! What is your favorite DJ memory? Wow.This is tough.Over the 14 years there have been some pretty interesting and humorous situations, to say the least. It’s always a thrill to see Grandpa dancing to some hip-hop later in the evening! Also I enjoy seeing some party crashers dancing at my party instead of their party next door! Although, if the bride or groom notices (which they usually don’t), and have a problem with it, then of course we just escort the intoxicated new faces to their original fiesta. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? My favorite thing about being a DJ is simply that I get paid for throwing a party and having a blast! My proudest achievement as a DJ is simply when the bride comes up to me after the reception has concluded, gives me a huge hug, and thanks me for making her special day so awesome and memorable! Also, I really enjoy when I can find a classic song for the grandparents to rekindle some old memories. What makes you unique as a DJ? I am a very unique DJ because of a few key things: My dance selection. I have access to Complete Music’s full song catalog, plus I bring my own selections.This combines for a truly COMPLETE mix of music surely to entice the ears of all ages!In addition, my planning is pretty unique. I spend a lot of time during the week to make sure I have EVERYTHING I need to make the special evening complete.Then on the day of, I arrive two hours ahead of time to avoid any possible issues that could prevent me from making the night beautiful. Also, I am conscious of every icebreaker in the book and use them when necessary.But most of all, I fill the dance floor with beautiful people of all ages without ever putting the spotlight on myself. What is your favorite part of the night? Oh, it’s got to be the food! Just kidding! I love watching the dance floor evolve to its peak stage around 30 minutes before the end of the party. Whether the reception has alcohol or not, I always fill the dance floor, especially at this key part of the evening. What is your favorite party song? My favorite party song changes often. But currently it’s a toss up between LMFAO’s “Shots” (clean version, of course), and Luke Bryan’s “Country Girl, Shake It For Me.” Why did you become a DJ? I heard an advertisement on the radio, and said to myself, “I love people, and I love music, let’s give it a shot.” I was so nervous during my first few shows and I almost resigned. But now I am so glad that I stuck with it. What a rewarding job! List one fun fact about you most people do not know: Despite my humble personality, I actually met a lovely lady at a party I DJed nearly 13 years ago.That woman would eventually become my wife and now we’ve been married nearly 9 years. We have one beautiful daughter and a brand new Great Pyrenees puppy. |

We didn't meet with any other DJ's to compare. But you guys were great! Our DJ was awesome! Tasha and Scott Ottersbach ![]() How would you describe your “DJ Personality” or “DJ Style”? Very upbeat and high energy, I love to get people of all ages up and dancing all night long! What is your favorite DJ memory? I had a grandfather give a very German presentation and dance. Even though he had a sign with all the words to the song, nobody knew what he was saying nor did they know what to do. But he was a really funny man and he made it a good time anyways because of the love and support from a big family. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? My favorite thing about being a DJ is being able to be a part of such a special day. Knowing that it’s my job to make or break a party makes me love what I do. Making people happy is such a fulfilling feeling. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? My specialties as a DJ are accommodating what everyone wants to hear into a dance and making it run smooth. I enjoy all genres and ages of music and I know everyone wants some variety. What is your favorite part of the night? I love when I get to send off a newlywed couple with our Signature close the circle salute. Seeing the support of both sides of the family joining as one is a really good time. What is your favorite party song? The Humpty Dance! Why did you become a DJ? I was at my cousins wedding reception, and I noticed that the DJ was having a better time then I was having. Knowing that I could be having such a good time and getting a paycheck at the same time was just amazing. Being able to make some peoples day was just a really good benefit. List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I make electronic music and mash up songs for fun in my spare time ![]() |

The courtesy thank you card we received after the reception was VERY nice and professional. It helped me understand how much Alex enjoys his job. Alex played music for the crowd ... the music selection was great!! He listened to every request we had made. Music is EVERYTHING at a wedding reception. Thank you!! Jessica & David Van Leer Our DJ was great, we had originally wanted Joe Fingerhut because 3 of my friends have had them at their weddings. Our DJ was young, but did a great job being social, taking requests, and playing a mixture of songs that had everyone dancing all night. This company knows what they are doing and has a great team behind them. I love the fact that the DJ's interact with the crowd and have props to songs like the YMCA...everyone loved it!! Ashlynn and David Williams Complete Music provided the music at my aunt's wedding and did such a good job that I knew I wanted them at my wedding! The song variety was exceptional!! Alex did such a great job at playing different types of music to get everyone dancing!! Alex did an awesome job! So pleased and impressed! We had so many people comment on how great the DJ was! It was also very nice that Alex took the time to send us a card after our wedding! Thanks for an awesome night Alex!! Lindsay & Drew Weber ![]() Alex is one of our Mid-Missouri DJs covering Columbia, Jefferson City, and surrounding areas. He is quickly becoming a popular choice for Brides wanting a truly Professional DJ who is completely flexible with your plans. It doesn't hurt that he is also a model and looks great in a tuxedo. How would you describe your “DJ Personality”? My personality tends to be slightly more moderate in that while I’ll do everything necessary to get the dance floor packed and motivate people to get out there, I won’t try to be the center of attention (that’s the bride and groom’s job!) or do anything really over the top unless that’s what the client wants. What is your favorite DJ memory? I once got a request to form a conga line and when I had the crowd start one it ended up being probably over 100 people long going most of the way around the room. The funniest part was that when they passed the bar, many of the people stopped to get drinks while still in the conga line, effectively gridlocking the whole train (although they kept dancing!). Also, seeing an 85 year-old grandma do the Stanky Leg is not a sight I will soon forget. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? Whenever I play a song and everyone on the dance floor cheers because it’s exactly what they wanted to hear, or at the end of the night when a bride tells me just how much fun everyone had at the reception. All in all, you couldn’t ask for a better job than to get to play such a fun role in someone’s special day. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? I would say my announcing abilities (I have a deep “radio” voice) and professional look make me stand out among other DJs. In terms of genres and music knowledge, my specialty would definitely be modern Top 40, Hip Hop, and even dance/techno given my original background in club-style DJing. I pride myself on being able to effectively use all genres however; it’s all about what the client wants. What is your favorite part of the night? I love announcing in the wedding party (à la a starting line-up) and towards the end of the night when everyone is on the dance floor and no one wants it to end. I also enjoy seeing all the different family traditions people have. What is your favorite party song? For an icebreaker, my favorite would have to be the Cupid Shuffle. In terms of regular party songs, that’s a difficult choice. If I have a young crowd, the “sure thing” songs I employed during my undergrad years come to mind, such as “Get Low” by Lil’ Jon, “Yeah” by Usher, “Low” by Flo Rida, “Dynamite” by Taio Cruz, “Shots” by LMFAO, and “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha, among many others. Why did you become a DJ? I got my start DJing for my fraternity during my undergrad years. Our chapter owned a club-style venue which was known as the place at Truman to go dance, and often hosted as many as 300 people for both our events and the various organizations that would rent out our building and hire me as their DJ. When I joined the fraternity, I noticed at parties just how crucial the DJ was to the success of the event in terms of whether and how long people stuck around and how many people actually got on the dance floor. There’s a definite psychology to both what to play and when to play it in terms of getting the party to go in the direction you want, which I found fascinating. My love of dance music and lighting effects made me an ideal candidate to take over as the head DJ, and I’ve been DJing ever since in a variety of contexts. List one fun fact about you most people do not know: While my work experience up to this point has been almost entirely on the fringe of the entertainment industry as a professional drummer and theme park show performer for many years, a DJ, and, more recently, as a commercial model and actor, my career aspirations are largely unrelated. Although working as a performer has lead me to some amazing experiences (I’m proud to be able to say that I’ve performed in concert at the Scottrade Center with a major recording artist and have met several of the artists I get asked to play while DJing), I’m actually going to law/business school right now at Mizzou to pursue a JD/MBA. I’m a man of many interests! ![]() |

I have been to many weddings, and have never came across such an outgoing & fun dj. Kyle J. made our night unforgetable! I would/will recommend him to everyone I know who will ever need a DJ. His games/ dances were hilarious! It got people out of their seats, and gave them a good laugh. My guests are still talking about it. Kyle was so outgoing! He was very personable, but maintained professionalism throughout the entire evening. I am so happy we chose Complete Music, our DJ exceeded our expectations. Complete Music went well above and beyond. Kyle was way more involved with the reception than any other DJ I have ever seen. Amber and Logan Lutes
Kyle did an awesome job. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night! Kyle would often check to make sure everything was going ok. Very personable.I really liked how he knew the names of our family and friends and would call them out on certain songs. We were very pleased and had the dance party we wanted! Complete music was a lot more entertaining and personable than other DJ services I have seen. Colleen & Matt Hagenhoff Our DJ, Kyle, was great! He knew how to keep everyone dancing and EVERYONE commented on how much fun they had!! Even my 80 year old Grandpa was dancing!!! I cannot thank Kyle enough for great service and a great time!!!!! How friendly everyone was from the first time I did the online chat and how easy it was to book and plan everything. The online planner was so helpful and I felt reassured that everything would go smoothly because of all the details that were covered on there. Every single person I was in contact with responded quickly and had an answer to every question I had. If there was a higher rating Kyle would get it!! He was awesome! Lots of creative ways to involve everyone. The smoothest reception I have ever been to! I could go on and on about how great the reception was because of Kyle & Complete Music, thanks so much!! Megan & Ryan Johnson He was great! He went above and beyond expectations. He was amazing! Kelly & Adam Webb
![]() How would you describe your “DJ Personality”? I'm a very outgoing, fun-loving, kinda DJ. I like to joke around with my guests and try to make everyone feel included and have fun. What is your favorite DJ memory? Recently, I was DJing a wedding with about 350 guests, half of them had came from all over the country. I kept getting requests for the duck dance. And my bride and groom didn't request that song, nor ask that it didn't get played. Near the end of the night an older woman came up to me and asked me to play the chicken dance. I told her I've gotten a lot of requests for that song throughout the night. I didn't realize that her grandson Joey (4 years old) was standing right in front of her wearing a chicken costume. I told them to hold on one minute. I cued up the song an announced to everyone that we had a special guest that has been waiting for his song all night. I put little Joey in the middle of the dance floor and everyone did the chicken dance with Joey. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? My favorite thing about being a DJ is making someone's wedding day special and memorable. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? I would say that my specialties as a DJ would be keeping a party going, and knowing the right song to play at the right time. What is your favorite part of the night? My favorite part of the night is the moment I introduce the wedding party, followed by the bride and groom. I like to use that to set the tone for the rest of the evening. What is your favorite party song? My favorite party song is probably C'mon Ride It by Quad City DJ's... It's a great song and it gets people up and moving all throughout the reception hall. Why did you become a DJ? I became a DJ because I was "born to be a performer" as my brother so eloquently put it in his best man speech at my wedding. I was always known as that crazy guy... And my mom's friend Buck (also a Complete Music DJ) met me one time and told my mom that I would make a great DJ. List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I can lick my elbow... And I'm a soldier in the Missouri Army National Guard. ![]() |

Jason did an outstanding job of making sure my needs were being meet and making sure everyone was having a great time. Jason was amazing! He did an excellent job of getting all my guests up and moving (we had a wide range in ages). I really liked how he entertained the children who were getting restless while we waited for the pastry trays to arrive. I received so many compliments from my guests about what a phenomenal DJ Jason was and what a great time they were having. Thank you! Michelle and Jim Klevorn I FELT THAT I WAS NOT JUST ANOTHER "JOB". ONCE I SPOKE W BRANDON, I NEVER FELT THAT I HAD TO WORRY ABOUT MY EVENING! THEN WHEN I SPOKE WITH JASON, I FELT CONFIDENT THAT THE RECEPTION WOULD GO OFF WITHOUT A HITCH. IT WAS TRULY WORRY FREE! JASON DID A GREAT JOB GETTING PPL EXCITED ABOUT DANCING! I CANT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS! OUR DJ WAS GREAT AND HE HAD A GOOD TIME GETTING OUR GUESTS INVOLVED IN THE FESTIVITIES! EVERYONE ENJOYED THEMSELVES AND THEY THOUGHT OUR DJ WAS FUNNY AND HAVING A GOOD TIME!
OUR DJ FAR SURPASSED THE 1-10 SCALE. JASON LEWTON FAR SURPASSED ANY EXPECTATIONS WE HAD. HE WAS ALWAYS READY TO HELP US AND I THINK HE WAS A LITTLE PSYCHIC BECAUSE HE WOULD BE DOING WHAT I WANTED ALREADY RIGHT BEFORE I ASKED HIM. HE WAS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO MAKE OUR DAY A SUCCESS AND PUT OUR WEDDING COORDINATOR TO SHAME. HE WAS GREAT WITH THE GUESTS AND WE JUST LOVED HIM TO PIECES. I WILL DEFINITELY RECOMMEND HIM TO ALL MY FRIENDS. WE COULD NOT HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER DJ IF WE HAD MADE HIM OURSELVES!
(16th Birthday Party) Great appearance - even wore a tie to match the theme colors. ![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc.
How would you describe your “DJ Personality” or “DJ Style”? I’m outgoing and funny, and I think I am very helpful. I’m obsessed with keeping people on the dance floor! What is your favorite DJ memory? –or– What was the funniest thing to ever happen at an event? I love it when impromptu things, like a random conga line, break out during the party. Recently, though, I had someone of the baby boomer generation do a somersault on the dance floor during “Shout.” What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? –or– What is your proudest achievement as a DJ? It’s definitely the smiles on a bride and grooms’ faces when, at the end of the night, they thank me for making their night special. I was born to serve others! What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? –or– What are your specialties as a DJ? One of my strong points is building a good rapport with a bride and groom. I really like to get to know them and treat them like my own family so that I can give them the most perfect reception experience possible! What is your favorite part of the night? I get a thrill from both the start and the end of the night. Finally meeting the wedding party face-to-face and getting the crowd geared up for the night ahead both are such a rush. Also, seeing the smiles on faces at the end of the night gives me an incredible sense of accomplishment for a job well done. What is your favorite party song? I love “Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones, though it’s certainly not a typical reception song. Lady Gaga’s “Teeth” has grown on me quite a bit of late, too. Why did you become a DJ? I absolutely adore music; that, coupled with my desire to serve people makes this the perfect gig for me! List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I am the fourth consecutive generation in my family to have my middle name... No, I won’t say what it is! ![]() |

Grant was outstanding - we felt as if he was a member of our group. EVERYTHING WAS GREAT FROM THE PLANNING PROCESS TO THE END OF THE NIGHT! SO MUCH BETTER, THE SONG SELECTION WAS AWESOME FOR OUR CROWD. THERE WERE ALWAYS PEOPLE ON THE DANCE FLOOR AND HE KEPT THE GUESTS ENTERTAINED WHILE WE TOOK PICTURES. I WOULD LIKE TO THANK GRANT FOR RESPECTING MY MOM'S SEIZURE CONDITION AND AVOIDING THE LIGHTING LIKE HE WAS ASKED TO. GRANT WAS A GREAT DJ. HE WAS LAID BACK AND PLAYED MUSIC WE WANTED TO HEAR. THAT WAS A VERY IMPORTANT FACTOR TO ME. I LIKE OLDER MUSIC AND SO DO THE PEOPLE I LOVE. GRANT IS AWESOME! IF WE EVER NEED YOUR SERVICES AGAIN, WE WILL REQUEST HIM! ![]() Personality: Professional and Fun. Never Over the Top or Obnoxious. How would you describe your “DJ Personality” or “DJ Style”? My DJ Style is natively outgoing, but is very versatile. Interaction, laughing and ensuring guests are taken care of is a strong foundation of my DJ personality. What was the funniest thing to ever happen at an event? Had a group of males dancing and they decided to take off their vest and shirts. There was quite an uproar of cheers. I let the song finish, got on the mic and had them take a bow as the crowd cheered and applauded. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? Seeing everyone smiling, singing, and still dancing after the event has come to a close... Of course the awesome music too! What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? What makes me unique is my ability to connect with people well; understand what their needs are and use that during the event. What is your favorite part of the night? There are so many…It depends on the party. Why did you become a DJ? I love music. Everyone I tell what I do says " I can really see you doing that!". Its a great fit for my personality, energy, and knowledge. I'm happy to be part of your special day. List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I'm an open person… But no one knows I like the the color Blue. Most guess red :-)). Customer Comments: ![]() |

I am fun, out-going and have a laid back personality. What is your favorite DJ memory? –or– What was the funniest thing to ever happen at an event? I would have to say when I played I'm to sexy by Right Said Fred and all the guys came out onto the dance floor and began taking their shirts off.

Our DJ was FANTASTIC! He helped out so much and had great suggestions for us. Honestly, he went beyond any expectations we had for him and really helped create the exact atmosphere we wanted. We had a blast at the wedding and owe a part of it to him. He did great in keeping the music upbeat and keeping people on the dance floor. He even got the bridesmaids cake and was cleaning off the table! In all, he was absolutely amazing and we were so happy to have hired him. No complaints from us at all :). Bridgette and Jeff Su (COMPANY PARTY) The DJ - Tom - was very good at reading the atmostphere of the party and adjusting the music accordingly. He also got out on the floor with our teammates and encouraged dancing and participation. Tom called me prior to the event, and suggested some fun games to play. He was very fun, and made the event very successful! Very nice gentleman. He looked like a kid, but was SO professional and fun. No squeaks or squalks from the microphone. Everyone was engaged with him. Very very good. He was able to quickly adapt to the changing mood of the crowd and get them engaged. He was AWESOME! Can I give a higher rating?? Heather Teeter Owens-Minor ![]() How would you describe your “DJ Personality”? I live off of the crowds energy! If they’re not into the music, I figure out what they are into and play that. It only gets better from there. What is your favorite DJ memory? The Groom and his mother stopped dancing midway through their special spotlight dance and I cut into “Sexy and I Know It” and they tore it up! What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? I live for music, and I love to play what people can sing along with and dance to. What are your specialties as a DJ? I specialize in new and underground music. I can find any song for your event. I know and love all kinds of music: alternative, classic rock, hip hop, indie, jazz, big band, country, techno/ electro house, drum and bass, pop, grunge, disco, etc… What is your favorite part of the night? Seeing the big smile on the bride and grooms face at the end of the night as they thank me for the great job. What is your favorite party song? Sexy and I Know It Why did you become a DJ?

Our DJ, Chris Portell, was very professional looking. Chris was excellent. He greeted us as we entered and was very courteous in keeping us updated throughout the evening. For all special dances and activities, Chris would approach my wife and I and make sure we knew what was happening before he announced anything. He was vital in making the night flow exactly right Chris was very enthusiastic. He got on the dance floor a few times, but did not overshadow us or take over the night. Chris went around asking guests if they had any special songs they wanted to hear. I thought this was really going above and beyond expectations. It really impressed me. Alicia and Dan James |

Buck has worked in the music industry for as long as some of our DJs have been alive! It was quite a coup for Complete Music to have converted him to the special events business about nine years ago. Though he, like his brother Mike, is masterful with country crowds, with his wealth of experience and talent, there is no event he cannot do. ![]() |

Dan has been around since the very beginning. Though not a DJ - well at least not any more - Dan is responsible for the internal accounting in the office and assigning all of the DJ's to their events. He also helps with event planning, and you will probably end up talking to him at some point before your event rolls around. Some people say Dan is all business. I beg to differ! Dan Sims and Complete Music saves the day! Read the story and watch the video from KMOV TV.

![]() How would you describe your “DJ Personality”? Glenn is to an event, what a fine tailor is to a custom fitted suit or dress. He can take the basics and put his clients personalized spin on it to ensure everyone has a great time at your event. He has an excellent knowledge of music and has the ability to read the crowd and play to their sweet spot. What was the funniest thing to ever happen at an event? At 1 am after a 7 hour reception the party was still going strong. The bride led me and the rest of the remaining guests by hand through the hotel out the lobby for a group picture by the fountain outside in the circle drive. Much to my surprise when we arrived at the fountain it was this groups tradition to have their picture taken IN the fountain. I took off my shoes and socks rolled up my tux pants and posed in the fountain for the pictures. I have seen them on facebook and they are priceless. I love it when I can become part of their group and take part in special moments that will last forever. What is your proudest achievement as a DJ? I am quite proud of being recognized as “Rookie Of The Year – 2002” and #1 DJ several times since this initial milestone. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? I really take the Boy Scout Motto to heart, “Be Prepared.” This begins well before I arrive at the venue. I try to anticipate things that could go wrong and proactively work to make sure they don’t happen. This includes everything from traffic, equipment, music to the simple things like having safety pins and stain stick on hand the night of your event. What is your favorite part of the night? Spotlight/Ceremonial Events, I thrive on the pursuit of perfection. These ceremonial events are the moments that are the most emotionally invested in. I love being part of the reason they come off just the way the happy couple envisions them. What is your favorite party song? Honestly there are so many I just sat here for 30 minutes trying to pick one. Impossible task, but, here are a few: Sweet Caroline, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, Don’t Stop Believing, and Fishin’ in the Dark are a few that I would try based on the crowd. Why did you become a DJ? I started long, long ago in a land before I had a family as a way to get out, meet people, and use my love of music and a good time. List one fun fact about you most people do not know: I met my wife while working as a DJ. We have been married since 2000 and are blessed with three DJ’s to be under the age of 11. ![]() |

Customer Comments: (Holiday Party) We used your company the year before and you did a good job and reasonably priced so we didn't shop around this year. Aimee was absolutely fantastic! She was cool and calm when we werent and was so good about getting all of our weird requests down. Everything from the party's entrances to the weird songs that we wanted played. She was sooooo good about taking care of our needs regardless of what the hall's staff was concerned about. It could not have gone any better! Kate and Scott Washington
Aimee was beautiful & super friendly!!! I've been to other weddings with DJs but have never personally hired another one before. What I noticed most was Aimee's complete involvement in the event. She made sure every detail was perfect even if it didn't deal directly with the music. I also loved how excited she was to meet in person before the event. Meeting with her beforehand really put my mind at ease that everything was going to run smoothly the day of. I loved how involved and helpful Aimee was in every aspect in the wedding. She went above and beyond her job and did more than just play music. She helped keep my bridesmaids feather boas safe when we weren't using them as well as made sure everyone was always where they needed to be. Monica Edres Very cute and dressed very young. She even danced with us. She was awesome!!! She kept a slow party moving. They were way above other services I had seen. If I ever have the need for a DJ I will definitely hire Complete Music. Aimee will be my only choice. She was amazing!!! ![]()

We interviewed each of the DJ companies at a few different bridal shows we attended. Complete DJ and Video was the only company that consistently gave us the attention we needed to get our questions answered (we had a lot of questions). This greatly influenced our decision to use Complete. I'm very glad we did. Logan had nice attire, well groomed. Volume seemed to be just right. My younger guests did not complain that they could not hear it and my elder guests did not complain it was too loud. Just right. Not many of our guests knew dances like the electric slide. He then changed his style with those dance songs and started them by showing the moves first. This helped get more people on the floor because they knew what to do. I loved that. We really loved his enthusiasm especially for our entrance to the reception. He listened to my requests (despite many of my friends requesting Katy Perry, he refrained from playing those. Thank you! I can't stand her voice!) As far as I know, everyone had a good time. It really was the time of my life. Complete had a much broader song selection that pleased more guests. He was energetic and was willing to work to get people on the dance floor. He was really fantastic. The thank you card he sent was also much appreciated.
Logan Swank was our DJ. He was great!! I am so pleased with the way everything turned out. Logan kept the events moving along smoothly. He was a great emcee for the evening as well as a great DJ. We gave Logan free range to pick what he thought we and our guests would want to hear and he hit it spot on! Everyone had the best time!
LOGAN DID AN AMAZING JOB! WE HAVE HAD SO MANY COMPLIMENTS. HE DID EXACTLY WHAT WE SAID AND ALWAYS CHECKED B4 HE PLAYED ANYTHING WE DID NOT ORIGINALLY WANT. OUR DANCE FLOOR WAS FULL THE ENTIRE NIGHT. C.M. PUTS YOU AND YOUR GUESTS WANTS AND REQUESTS BEFORE THEIR OWN.
HE WAS SO NICE TO ALL MY GUESTS AND THEY ALL LET ME KNOW THAT. LOGAN WAS PERFECT..HE MADE SURE I WAS HAPPY THE WHOLE NIGHT AND EVERYTHING HE PLAYED WAS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED! MY GUESTS LOVED THAT HE WENT TABLE TO TABLE TO TAKE REQUESTS...I LOVED THAT! THANK YOU!
LOGAN EXCEEDED OUR EXPECTATIONS. HE WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND ANYTHING WE IMAGINED. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN. HE WAS AWESOME! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
LOGAN DID A GREAT JOB W ALL THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AND DIRECTIONS. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A FEAR OF HAVING A LAME DJ AND WHEN I SPOKE TO CM THE 1ST TIME I FELT AT EASE. LOGAN SOUNDED FUN, ENERGETIC, POLITE AND KNOWLEDGEABLE. LOGAN WAS RIGHT ON TARGET WITH EVERYTHING WE ASKED OF HIM. WE WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND LOGAN TO OTHERS. ![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc.
Personality: Energetic If you're looking for non stop excitement at your event, Logan is your man! Every party he throws has energy and tons of dancing. He loves his job and it shows! Photo's courtesy of Bradley Thomas Favorite thing about being a DJ: It's the recognition for a job well done. There's nothing better than having people call you out by name, and tell you how much they enjoyed the occasion because of you. Favorite party song: Low by Flo-Rida Why did you become a DJ for Complete Music? I get to utilize my outgoing personality to throw a killer party, and help everyone enjoy the evening.

Our DJ Eric was absolutely amazing!! He did a wonderful job and made our night special! We are still getting compliments saying how good he was and how much fun everyone had! I would recommend him to anyone in a heart beat! When they first called they were so nice. They werent trying to put down any other company and they were so helpful. Complete music was 100 times better than any other dj. Amazing! Kara and Nick Lippman
Eric did an absolute fabulous job at our wedding reception. I felt confident that anything I wanted, he made sure it happened. He was so nice and understanding, he made everyone feel comfortable to make any suggestions or changes. He was well prepared and made me a lot less stressed about the reception atmosphere after we first spoke. Everyone enjoyed their time - the music was just what I asked for. Great dinner music and then the party got started. I would recommend him to anyone! He even asked me what the appropriate attire would be - I appreciated that
We absolutely LOVED our DJ Eric!! He was helpful, courteous, and respectful. He made sure we were satisfied several times through the night. Very good sense of humor and willing to get the crowd up and dancing!! Eric was absolutely wonderful! I honestly can not say enough good things about him. He was so friendly and helpful on the phone which totally put me at ease about the reception. He was fantastic with the wedding party, his announcements, the pace of the evening's events and the music. He took care of us all night, making sure we had drinks and were happy. He checked in with us from time to time, and double checked on special requests from guests. My guests commented all night that the music was the best of any wedding they have been to. Again, Eric was awesome! We couldn't have asked for anything more!
I WAS AT ANOTHER WEDDING EARLIER THIS YEAR THAT TOLD THE GUESTS TO BE QUIET! I KNEW YOU GUYS WOULD NEVER DO THAT! I HAVE BEEN TO FRIENDS WEDDINGS BEFORE THAT HAD YOUR CO. AS THE DJ--AND IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GREAT TIME! YOU ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL YET FUN!!!
ERIC WAS VERY GOOD. WE HAVE GIVEN OUT HIS CARD TO PEOPLE WHO LOVED ERIC! ![]() Eric's strength is being Professional and kind while having a great sense of humor. He knows how to get a party going! I find it easy to be whatever type of personality the event calls for.I can be energetic, crazy, calm, reserved, classy or elegant. Not every event is the same, therefore, a DJ should have multiple personalities that can conform to that particular event. That’s me! What was the funniest thing to ever happen at an event? One of my Groom’s was a huge Cardinal’s fan. At his wedding, the bride had a surprise for him! She hired Fredbird to come out after their first dance! I arranged to play some classic Busch Stadium baseball music as he made his entrance! It was so much fun, everyone had a great time taking pictures and dancing with him. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? I have the opportunity to help in creating once in a lifetime memories. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? What is your favorite part of the night? I love the part of the night where everyone realizes they really want to have a good time and the dance floor becomes crowded. That’s when I know I have truly done my job well. What is your favorite party song? I could find a great party song in every genre of music, however, to really dance and party, you have to look to pop music. I think from Lady Gaga to Usher to The Blackeyed Peas, there are endless party songs! I Gotta Feeling - Blackeyed Peas Why did you become a DJ? I like to be around people. I have background in music performance, theater and dance, so I thought it to be a perfect fit.

He made the reception!! Complete music was way better than any of the other DJ's I have seen. I have never seen or been to a more fun reception! Everyone was dancing, laughing, and having a great time. Ryan was our DJ and I couldnt have asked for a better DJ!! He was GREAT!! Valerie and Clayton Stringemann ![]() Ryan is the ultimate crowd pleaser. His positive attitude and love of life makes him an ideal entertainer. How would you describe your “DJ Personality” or “DJ Style”? I am outgoing and fun. I just like it when the crowd, especially the bride and groom, are having the times of their lives. So whatever I can do for that. What is your favorite DJ memory? At an event I did a ceremony and reception. During the ceremony the ring bearer got too nervous I guess and threw up. The funny part is that it was on one of the bridesmaids feet. Also, I had a reception that ended with the groomsman with their shirts off dancing to “I’m Too Sexy”. What is your favorite thing about being a DJ? I just like that I get to throw a party or two every weekend. I just have fun with it and enjoy my time. What makes you unique / stand out as a DJ? I like to have a good time and know how to, but I am eclectic. I thus can make sure that Grams as well as lil’ Johnny have a good time with the newly wed Mr. and Mrs. What is your favorite part of the night? Towards the end of the night when the Bride and Groom want the party to run into the next morning. As the dance floor is packed and everyone is having a great time. What is your favorite party song? “Shots” – LMFAO This song always gets the floor thumping. Why did you become a DJ? The good times. I like to have fun in my life, what better way to make so many memories for myself but more importantly a bride and groom.

He pardoned himself any time he came to talk to us if we were around others. He was very informative. Knew everything we wanted and directed us very effectively. Almost every song was a great one to dance to and songs that everyone knew!! Zach was the best. We had a glitch in our ceremony where the aisle runner wouldn't work and Zach was on top of it, looping my entrance lines until they figured it out. Couldn't have done it without him!! We were just so happy with Zach. I will definitely make sure to recommend Complete and Zach in particular on all sites :) Lauren and Lars Vardeman The ease of working with you and our confidence in Zach after speaking to him. Everything was perfect and we didn't have to worry about a thing on the day of the wedding. We had many quest compliment the music and Zach check in with us often (but not too often) to see if we needed anything even asking if we needed a drink. Wonderful! I was married before and the DJ played songs and artists that I had on my no play list, did not play songs I asked for, and actually started dancing on the dance floor. Jenny and Jeff Johnson
The friendliness that we received everytime we called with any questions was wonderful. it's very important to have great customer service and you guys went above and beyond. Thank you :) ZACH WAS WONDERFUL AND TRULY MADE OUR EVENT ENJOYABLE FOR OUR GUESTS W/ SONGS AND INTERACTIVE GAMES. ZACH WAS THE BEST DJ WE HAVE SEEN!
CM SURPASSED ALL OTHERS, ZACH WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND AND IT WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED. HAD LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS FROM MY GUESTS.
ZACH SEEMED TO KEEP EVERYONE MORE INVOLVED THAN OTHERS I HAVE SEEN, THERE WAS A LOT OF THINGS DISORGANIZED AND HE WAS GREAT AT HELPING US GET THINGS TOGETHER!
YOU GUYS ARE PROFESSIONAL, FUN AND ENGAGING! YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT COMPANY TO WORK WITH! ![]() Photo courtesy of Signature Studio, Inc. If you are looking for a new way to do something, Zach can probably think it up. An extremely charismatic speaker, ceremonial events seem that much more special when Zach is the one emceeing them. Why did you become a DJ?
