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!
It's a job where I can use all the skills I have learned over the years, from theater and dance, to my work with kids, and put it all together to help everyone at the event have an amazing time. It's incredibly rewarding.

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!

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?

Basically, I am in charge of staffing, training, equipment upkeep, sales, and presiding over the total operations of the company. Being a DJ myself, and working full time in the office, meeting and speaking with Brides, I pass my passion and experience along with a Brides perspective onto the DJs. I also take pride in providing our clients with professional quality, updated DJ gear. There is nothing worse than having a DJ with cheap DJ gear that sounds horrible and doesn't work when you need it most! The one thing that has always kept us far ahead of our competition is our ongoing DJ Training. Our DJs never stop learning and we always challenge them to perform their best.


What about Complete Music has kept you working for them for over 13 years?

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.


The owner, Dan Sims, started working in Omaha where Complete Music began and was trained under the CEO for the entire franchise, Jerry Maas. It's a rare fact that Jerry Maas is the first person to ever do the Duck Dance as an Icebreaker at a wedding back in the early 1970's! When they started franchising in 1981, Dan relocated to St. Louis and opened his doors in 1984, when there really wasn't such a thing as a professional DJ Service. Back then it was just guys with record players and some records. No training went into the job. Most DJs didn't use Professional equipment at all and did maybe twenty parties a year. Dan quickly built up the franchise to be the largest and most successful in the country. We currently provide the entertainment at over 1900 events annually! Each DJ does around 60 weddings per year! Most DJ companies don't even come close to that as a whole.

What Complete Music has done, with on -going training, using only Professional DJ Gear, and earning a living solely off of DJing is raise the bar time and time again hiring only the friendliest, most talented entertainers, providing the best on-going training, constantly keeping up with the times with equipment, music and trends, and aiming for excellent customer service from the first phone encounter to the last song of the night. No one in the office has less than ten years experience with Complete Music and Video.

I have enjoyed being a part of the most successful DJ Company in the nation and love reading our customer evaluations that say that we are the most professional and FUN DJ they have ever seen. They also often say that their friends and family have commented that their wedding was the BEST RECEPTION THEY EVER ATTENDED! My best friends have come from working here and some of the best memories as well. To be able to do what you love and get paid for it is so rare. That is why I work for Complete Music.

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!

Fun Fact:

I am (was) a huge Sopranos fan.

James will provide you with a classy yet fun atmosphere. He will follow through with every detail you have requested and do so with professionalism and class.

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

Personality:Sales and Promotions Manager 

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?

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.

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.

I make electronic music and mash up songs for fun in my spare time

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 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.

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!

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!

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.

Favorite DJ memory:

My favorite moment was at a wedding reception with an unusually large population of children. So I set them all up with blow up guitars, microphones, saxophones and sunglasses and let them rock on the stage behind me. Soon, the stage had a crowd of parents taking pictures and our live band set the mood for the rest of the night.

Favorite thing about being a DJ?

Relieving pressure from my clients. Weddings, Bar/Bat-Mitzvah's and company parties alike become a stressful  time for clients and I like to think that I have a way of relieving doubt and anxiety about your party. The moment we speak, you'll know you're in good hands.

How would you describe your “DJ Personality” or “DJ Style”?

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!

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?


I started in 1995 with another DJ company to make some extra money doing something I love, playing music.  As a musician and a lover of great times, I've always enjoyed helping other people have fun.  I've been with Complete Music since spring of 2005, and it's by far the best DJ company I've ever worked with because I have something going on almost every single weekend.  We're always busy, and that means I'm always helping to make someone's event memorable!

What is your favorite party song?


"I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas has become this generation's "Celebration", so I used it a lot to kick off the open dancing portion of the evening.  "Shout" by Otis Day & the Knights, "Don't Stop Believin'" by Journey, and "It's Tricky" by Run-D.M.C. are also great party boosters.


Favorite DJ Memory:


At a recent wedding, a member of the brides family asked for Mambo # 5, which I didn't have with me. She had the song on cassette, but since we only have CD players, I couldn't play it. That's when she told me she had  a boom box in her hotel room. I asked her if she could go get it for me. When it came time to play the song, I explained to the crowd that it was a "special request" and that since most of them were my age, they probably remembered when they were teens, holding up the telephone to he speakers of the stereo so a friend could hear a song. Then, I help up the boom box and said, "This is going to be a little like that". I pressed play, held up my mic to the speaker.  Everyone cheered and flooded the dance floor. It was definitely an outside the box moment.


What does customer service mean to you?


A lot of people are surprised when they see me opening the door for guests, getting drinks for the head table, even going table to table to let people know I'm taking dance requests.  To me, that's just simply doing what other DJs won't do, and that's one reason I stand out from the rest.  I think about it this way -- if I was throwing the party myself, I would want someone there to take the reins and make sure everything was running smoothly.  While that's why some people use wedding coordinators, most of the couples I've worked with haven't hired them simply because they know if I'm working with them, they're going to get the best treatment and attention to detail possible.  To me, customer service comes down to making sure you're satisfied, and then going that one extra step to give you something you might not expect.

What's your favorite part of being a Complete Music DJ?


Complete Music is the type of company not afraid to let its DJs make suggestions and find new ways of doing old things.  I've created and presented new interactive dances and activities that the rest of the staff have latched onto and gotten great feedback about from their clients.  Since we have over 40 DJs that work here, we often get the chance to bounce ideas off each other and help one another with potentially difficult scenarios.  For our clients, it means that we have a wealth of talent available if you don't know exactly what you're looking for.


Describe your DJ style:


I love a good party!  I'm not just a great DJ, but I'm a phenomenal EmCee whose skills are near unmatched in our industry.  I can host any event with the absolute highest level of professionalism and excellence, and if you need help with organization, I can help you craft your event so that it flows as seamlessly as possible.  I'm creative, versatile, and flexible, but I'm never afraid to help you and your guests have as much fun as the law allows, and I will NEVER bulldoze my way through what you want at your event.

Fun Fact:


For my full-time work, I am a musician, actor, comedian, video and audio editor, and I've worked in professional improv comedy in the past.  I am also a songwriter with about about 100 songs to my credit (still yet to be recorded, but written nonetheless), and my main aspiration in life is to be a professional musician full-time.
