"Our DJ John was great, he was always checking in with us to see how everything was going and if we needed anything." - Eagle Eye 10-1-2011
 John is one of the most professional DJ’s on our staff. He is very laid back, but pays close attention to detail. John takes our white glove service to the next level by doing simple things like making sure the head table always has a drink and opening doors for the guests as they come in. He will (and has) run out to your car in the rain to get your more comfortable shoes or chapstick left in the console. There is nothing that John won’t do for you to make sure that you are having the best time possible.
How do you make sure the hosts are enjoying the performance? I like to check in with the bride and groom throughout the night as well as other member of the bridal party to make sure everyone has everything they need. I also make sure to keep the photographer, caterer and hall staff involved so everyone is on the same page all night long. This helps the event run as smoothly as possible and leaves very little room for miscommunication. This way, no one misses anything that’s happening and the bride and groom gets exactly what they want.
What type of personality do you have? I pride myself on professionalism. Our company offers a standard of white glove service that sets us apart from everyone else and I take this seriously. I am outgoing and love to see everyone out on the floor doing ice breakers and participating in what is happening.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Music? It’s not easy to be the coordinator for the most important event in someone’s life, but I embrace the challenge. I love the way each wedding is different and presents new situations to add to my experience. I feel like if I can make someone’s wedding successful, I can do anything.
Why do you enjoy performing at weddings? People’s weddings are the most important that has ever happened to them. I am truly honored when people choose me to be a part of that moment and trust me to make it the best it can be. I love to see the people around me enjoying the happiest day of their life with the loved ones.
What makes you a unique DJ? I strive to make sure that each performance is better than the last. I am constantly working to improve myself so that my clients are never disappointed. I like to take control of your event so that it can run smoothly from start to finish. Constantly learning and taking the challenge of each event is what makes me good at job and leaves everyone happy at the end of the night.

What makes you a unique DJ?
Song selection. I like to think outside the box and I am always up for learning something new from the people I am working for that night. I like to think that when I am picking the music, people are going to be pleasantly suprised by what comes next all night long.

We were extremely please with Ron. Complete Music is far superior to other DJ services. Jody Ward - Lansing Center
Ron was excellent and Complete Music is tons better than other companies. Everyone said our reception was the best! People are still talking about how great the DJ was. Overall Complete Music is Awesome! Jennifer Hitchcock - Chisholm Hills
Ron seemed to truly care about our party. He was fun and energetic, and we all just loved him! Meghan Horn - Wilson Grand Ledge Opera House
Ron Made everything absolutely Great! Ron made our day even more special. He took care of everything for us. It made us feel very special, Ron was very outgoing and excited, everyone liked him. - Anne and Casey Latunski - Brookshire
 Ron (Ronnie Mac) has a great deal of customer service experience that he brings to every event he DJs. He is a professional at all times and will do whatever it takes to make sure your event is perfect. Ronnie Mac’s sense of humor and outgoing personality win clients over before he even begins mixing dance music. Once the dancing gets started Ronnie Mac loves to play as many requests as possible and keep the party lively. His number one goal is for your guests to tell you how much fun they had at your event.
How do you make sure the hosts are enjoying the performance? There are a couple things I do to make sure the hosts are enjoying the performance. The first happens before anyone ever shows up to the facility. It is done in the pre-call/meeting to my clients. I make sure I know exactly what the hosts are expecting for the evening. I approach the shows with a “Happy Wife, Happy Life” theory, which means if I know what the bride expects and can keep her happy, then everyone else will be happy as well. The second thing I do is keep the lines of communication open between myself and my clients throughout the night to ensure that I am fulfilling their vision of the perfect night.
What type of personality do you have? I definitely have an outgoing personality.
Why do you enjoy working at Complete Music? To me this really isn’t working! I get to party every weekend and meet lots of fun people and hopefully be the biggest reason people tell you how great your reception was.
Why do you enjoy performing at weddings? It is an honor to help make something as important as your wedding perfect.
What makes you a unique DJ? I give 110% to each and every show. I make sure I know what the bride and groom expect and then go out of my way to ensure things are perfect. However, I have to be honest, this isn’t very unique within the Complete Music DJs—all of us do that…. I just think I’m the best!

Steve was wonderful! He was nothing but friendly and professional all night and we are still getting comments on how much fun our reception was! - Steve and Mary Conklin
Steve with Complete Music is the man! He had all of our guests dancing all night and we had a blast! - Todd and Erin James
Steve was absolutely the BEST DJ we have ever seen! All of our guests had an amazing time and he is so polite and easy to work with. Thanks Steve! - Shawn and Megan Crawford
Steve is the best DJ ever, hands down! - Jim and Blaire Watson
 Steve is the senior DJ on our staff, having been with Complete Music for more than 15 years. He won Michigan's DJ of the Year award the first year it was awarded in 1998. He has also worked at the Franchise Owner level, having developed a Complete Music presence along the lakeshore, including Holland where he lives. Steve has won numerous awards and accolades throughout his career, both as a DJ and an owner. He has been requested by more brides in West Michigan than any other Complete Music DJ, and has attained the highest rank ever achieved by a Complete Music DJ in Michigan, Platinum III. He is Signature Certified and Platinum Trained, which means he is available for Platinum Package (two-DJ) bookings, including magic tricks, balloon animals and other extras. An actor/director by training and a writer by vocation (Steve is also a staff writer for The Holland Sentinel), his creative, theatrical background makes him a natural entertainer.
How do you make sure the hosts are enjoying the performance? It's very simple. I plan every detail of the evening with the bride and groom (or hosts) ahead of time. At the reception (or event) I coordinate with the hall manager, coordinator, master and mistress of ceremonies, caterers, photographers and videographers to make sure everything is set to run smoothly and according to what the clients have asked for. Then, I check with the hosts and clients throughout the evening to make everything meets or exceeds their expectations. As a DJ, it's important to be flexible and open to change, to be fun yet professional, and always to pay attention to what the crowd is asking for and dancing to.
What type of personality do you have? I like to put people at ease and have fun, being outgoing enough to get people out on the dance floor and having fun, while always keeping the bride and groom the center of attention. It's their night, not mine. Why do you enjoy working at Complete Music? Complete Music is the paradigm of mobile DJ professionalism in Michigan and throughout the country. Having been with this company for 15 years has made realize what an exceptional service we provide, and will continue to provide for years to come. The DJs I'm asked to train are always easy to train, because Complete Music hires only the best. This isn't just lip service; it's the truth. If it weren't, we wouldn't be the largest mobile DJ company in North America. I won't work for any other mobile DJ company.
Why do you enjoy performing at weddings? A wedding reception is a couple's special day. Getting to be a part of what makes it memorable and successful is fulfilling in ways that are difficult to describe. To see the smiles on all the faces. To see Uncle Frank (whom no one ever remembers seeing on the dance floor) getting out and showing his moves. To be thanked by the bride and groom, their parents and guests for making their party happen and helping to make their day special is an amazingly rewarding experience. What makes you a unique DJ? Each DJ's personality and style is unique unto himself or herself. My combination of experience, background, training and specific personality traits give me a unique perspective on how best to meet the needs of my clients and their guests. I like to get to know the bride and groom as well as possible before the reception. I find that developing a strong connection with one's hosts is the cornerstone of being able to anticipate and meet their needs and desires. And, that makes the evening more fun and relaxing for everyone!
