Imagine Thanksgiving. You're prepping the turkey, trying to find the fancy bowls, answering 1,000 questions from your fiance. Then the doorbell rings - you're letting in guests, taking their coats, trying to stop the dog from running out the door. Then SHOOT, the TURKEY! You sit down for dinner exhausted, you have one glass of wine, and then it's time to clean it all up. You realize you didn't even get to talk to your mom, or your brother you rarely see. Your wedding day shouldn't be like Thanksgiving. You should be able to enjoy every single second. With Complete, you CAN!

“Complete Weddings Events St. Louis made our wedding day feel effortless, even though we know how much work was happening behind the scenes. From start to finish, they communicated with us in a way that felt personal and fun, while also being incredibly thorough about every detail. On the day of, our coordinator wrangled so much to keep everything running smoothly and the staff weren't afraid to go with the flow when we needed them to. One of our favorite moments was watching our videographer take such good care of us—he even carried my plate at dinner so I could enjoy the moment without worrying about logistics. Their attention to detail and great vibes made our day really special, and we felt so supported the entire time. We'd recommend them in a heartbeat to any couple planning a wedding in St. Louis. The photographers and videographer were so fun when we were off doing our couple photos. The DJ and Photo Booth made the reception so much fun. It was such a great day! (The photo is one I snagged when the groomsmen were getting photos taken, they used the space super well!)”

He listened to what we wanted and was super professional during the whole process.

“Ally was without a doubt the most important piece to our wedding!! She was so important during the planning process and brought up so many good tips and tricks I would never have thought about. She gave us a perfect timeline to work from and allowed us to go about our day blissfully happy while keeping us on track with everything we had planned. We had a lot of moving parts on our day including lots of DIY decor, desserts, flowers as well as setting up a champagne tower and coordinating our guests here and there for our first dance on an outside dock - she made it all happen! She also coordinated everything with the vendors and took a huge load of the work off of me. I’m sure she put out a lot of fires we never even knew existed. She seamlessly set up the reception of my dreams and broke it all down following the reception. She quite honestly had our backs throughout the whole process and was so down to earth and extremely nice/fun/easy to work with! On top of it all, she took beautiful pictures and videos of the reception all set up as well as our first dances with our parents! None of our guests took videos of our dances and it would have been heartbreaking not to have them! She seriously thought of it all - do NOT hesitate to hire Jovial!

“We absolutely loved working with Rebecca! She was so organized, personable, and genuinely invested in making our wedding day as special as possible. She did an amazing job with both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Throughout the planning process, she went above and beyond to make sure we had everything figured out. You can truly see the love, care, and thought she puts into her work. On the wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and captured so many beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. We would absolutely recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer!”

“I truly do not think our wedding would’ve been half as amazing as it was without Eili! She started with us once we picked out our venue and really made sure our decisions were fit within our vision and our budget every step of the way. From design, to the timeline, to connecting with our vendors before, all the way up until the end of the night she was truly a lifesaver. We didn’t use a coordinator for my sister’s wedding and a lot of things fell on to my family. My Mom was the first one to notice how much help Eili was because not only did she take stress off of me, but a ton off my parents as well. She even stepped in and helped bartend our welcome party! 100/10”

“We couldn't have asked for a better choice with Beau Son Strings & Ensembles. From our first conversation, they stayed in touch and made sure we felt heard every step of the way. They nailed our song list and jumped at the chance to add a personal request that meant so much to us. What really impressed us was how they worked with my nephew to accompany him during his solo. It added such a beautiful moment to the ceremony. Their talent and professionalism made everything feel effortless, and they genuinely seemed to care about making our day special. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat.”
