“Working with everyone at Complete Wedding + Events was awesome! The event questions were detailed, making the photo booth and DJ a personal experience that my husband and I will remember forever. The DJ got the guests involved and dancing while the photo booth made everyone laugh nonstop. It exceeded my expectations and I will definitely use them again for future events.”
- jessica and david
“The entire crew (photo booth, DJ, and videographer) we had was great! They were easy to get in touch with and made sure we were pleased with everything that was happening throughout the wedding reception. I would highly recommend Complete!”

Victoria & Sean September 14, 2018
Maura Jane Photography | Real Wedding Sean proposed to Tori on a cold winter day at the beautiful Los Poblanos. After taking a stroll around the historic grounds, Sean got down on one knee and asked her to be his wife. We learned that the room she was getting ready in for her wedding day was the same room Sean booked the night they were engaged. We loved the farmhouse room with its tall ceilings and beautiful canopy bed. It was the perfect place for Tori to get ready. Tori was the picture of elegance with a long sleeve Mikaella gown. Her hair was swept back in a classic and romantic bun as she held a bouquet of peonies and roses between her hands. We lead Tori to where her soon to be husband was waiting for her. As Sean stood under the pomegranate trees, Tori made her way to him, tears of joy streaming down her face. Tori and Sean were one of those couples who didn’t need to be told when to hold each other, or when to kiss. They were naturally so affectionate, all we had to do was stand back and capture it.

Tori and Sean decided to have a small guest list, and opted out of having a bridal party. Their ceremony was very intimate with around 20 guests. Most of whom traveled from the other side of the country to attend. Tori’s step dad officiated after her brother walked her down the aisle. Sean’s daughter helped the couple light their unity candle, and other family members presented readings. After the ceremony guests followed the couple to cocktail hour, while the planner rearranged the ceremony space into a gorgeous and personal dinner party. A long farm table was dressed with beautiful lush garland and candles with touches of gold and navy. It was exactly as Tori had envisioned. The night ended with a beautiful sparkler send off as everyone hugged and wished the couple years of happiness. We are so happy for Tori + Sean. The day was so full of love and we were honored to be a part of their intimate day. -Maura Jane Photography 53

Ashley & Kris September 1, 2018
Event Center at Sandia Golf Club| Real Wedding The goal for us on our wedding day was to make sure everything was very personal and that our guests had a fun and memorable time. The first step in ensuring this goal was accomplished, was by securing a venue that provided a romantic setting for the ceremony and a reception space that provided a unique, but fun atmosphere. Finding a venue that offered both indoor and outdoor space, where our guests could play corn hole on the event lawn, visit the photo booth on the patio and enjoy dancing all night in the ballroom ticked every box for us; and the jaw-dropping views for our wedding photos didn’t hurt either. The Event Center at Sandia Golf Club is truly a hidden gem in Albuquerque! - Bride, Ashley

Event Center at Sandia Golf Club| Real Wedding
Before the dress, cake, dĂŠcor and even sometimes the date, is the venue selection. When initially meeting with a couple, you always hope that the vibe they envision for their wedding fits your venue. Upon meeting with Ashley and Kris, our team knew that if they picked the Event Center at Sandia Golf Club it would be the perfect fit. They were such a fun couple and you could immediately see how much they loved each other and that more than anything they wanted to make sure their wedding was one their guests would remember. They had so many personal touches that really showed who they were as a couple, especially how much they loved their pets and how much they loved the Aggies or Lobos depending on who you asked. Ashley and Kris found several ways to make sure their beloved pets presence was felt at the wedding. They offered dog treats as part of their wedding favors, so guests could take something home to their fur babies after the wedding, which was so sweet and appreciated by all the guests!

Nikki & Bobby September 29, 2018
Kayla Kitts Photography | Real Wedding It was years ago that Nikki and Bobby joined the same softball team. They became friends... but before they knew it, something was different. Bobby asked Nikki out on their first date, and in no time at all they fell head over heels in love. This past fall - they promised to forever in the sweet little chapel of Hotel Albuquerque. The weather was perfect, and the wind blew slightly through the trees of the courtyard as friends and family trickled in. Everyone was full of smiles and they danced the night away with happy hands in the air. It was a day filled with so much beauty, celebration, and fun. Every time I’m with them I am so honored to witness their sweet love; they’re smitten, adorable, and officially Mr. + Mrs.! - Kayla Kitts Photography

Arielei Kinzer Photography | Real Wedding Olivia and Nick’s La Posada de Santa Fe wedding was filled with romance and joy! It started raining right in the middle of their ceremony, but they just laughed it off. Their bridal party popped open some umbrellas and continued without skipping a beat! Olivia’s custom hand-made gown by Teresa Romero fit her perfectly, she was beaming and oh-so-gorgeous in it. Each plate at their tented outdoor reception had a bundle of sage on it, filling the air with it’s amazing scent. At the end of the night they retired to the ballroom with all their friends to dance the night away. All in all it was a pretty perfect fall wedding at La Posada. - Arielei Kinzer Photography

Coryn Kiefer Photography | Real Wedding Relaxed, bright and full of laughter - that is how I remember Meaghan and Scott’s wedding. I knew when I walked into Meaghan’s parents’ house that this was going to be a beautiful weekend. Meaghan was getting ready with just her mom and her sister by her side and the air was full of soft laughter and love. The ceremony took place at a historic downtown courthouse and then we ventured to the sun kissed cottonwoods of the Bosque to take the wedding photos. With the ceremony stress done by Friday, by the time Saturday came around, everyone could just relax and simply enjoy! - Coryn Kiefer Photography

Stepping into the sculpture garden, guests were greeted by a brilliant color palette, which paired perfectly with the late summer sun. Colorful florals were mixed with succulents and placed in terracotta pots that claimed center stage on bright white linens. Nearby a delightful dessert display had something sweet for every palette. It was an honor to be a part of such an enchanting weekend and an appropriate reminder that weddings don’t need to be stressful to be perfect. -Coryn Kiefer Photography

Maura Jane Photography | Real Wedding Emily and EJ met in Denver while EJ was visiting for a football game. She was leaving a bar as he was walking in and he just had to stop this beautiful girl and ask her where she was going. She ended up staying and they hit it off that night and within 4 months she was moving down to Albuquerque to be with him. EJ proposed to Emily in Belgium and they decided that their adventurous and travel loving hearts just had to get married in beautiful Lake Tahoe, a place they fell in love with while vacationing together. Their closest family and friends joined them on the beautiful lake on labor day weekend and were greeted with perfect weather and turquoise waters. The mountains stood tall in the distance as the sweet couple said I do in the sand under an arbor of flowers and boho macrame knots blowing in the wind. EJ and Emily took time to take photos with their beloved staffy pup Caesian who sported a bowtie to the wedding, looking extra adorable.

At the reception the couple gave a nod to the city they live by decorating with succulents and southwestern printed table cloths, and the cake was designed with a zia symbol on the front. Afterwards everyone tore it up on the dance floor and took shots of patron toasting the new couple, the party didn’t stop there as everyone boarded a yacht to end the night in style. Congratulations Emily + EJ, your wedding was something out of a dream and we were so honored to be able to travel and document it. -Maura Jane Photography
