Completely Celebrated Named to the 2026 Loverly List
We have some pretty exciting news to share.
Completely Celebrated™ has been named to the 2026 Loverly List, with recognition as Best DJ in Virginia, one of the top three entertainers in the South, and one of the top 30 entertainers nationwide.
And yeah, we're pretty excited about this one.
What Is the Loverly List?
The Loverly List is Loverly's annual, editor-curated collection recognizing wedding professionals across the country. For 2026, more than 16,500 vendors were nominated, with approximately 1,250 selected as honorees.
According to Loverly, its editors consider portfolios, real-wedding features, and feedback from couples and industry peers. Vendors are evaluated across areas including creative work and design, reputation, service, and representation across different locations, price points, and aesthetics.
For us, that context makes the recognition particularly meaningful.
Completely Celebrated was one of just eight Virginia wedding professionals recognized on the 2026 list, while also receiving recognition as Best DJ in Virginia, one of the top three entertainers in the South, and one of the top 30 entertainers nationwide.
More Than a DJ Company
Awards are exciting, but this recognition feels especially meaningful because of what we've been working to build.
Completely Celebrated has never been interested in simply showing up, playing music, and packing up at the end of the night.
We believe entertainment is not just music. Entertainment is an experience.
That means thinking about hospitality. Guest experience. Energy. Flow. Hosting. Music. Production. Collaboration. And all the little decisions that influence how a celebration feels from beginning to end.
We call that Entertainment Design.
It's an approach shaped by more than 15 years and hundreds of weddings, and it continues to evolve with every couple, planner, creative partner, and celebration we encounter.

From Richmond to Atlanta and Beyond
This recognition also arrives during a pretty special chapter in our story.
Completely Celebrated began as an evolution of Bow Tied Weddings, a company founded in Richmond, Virginia, in 2015. Our journey eventually took us to Atlanta, where Completely Celebrated continued to grow and evolve before finding its way back home to Richmond.
Today, we create wedding entertainment experiences throughout Virginia, Atlanta, the Southeast, and destinations beyond.
Being recognized by Loverly as Best DJ in Virginia feels particularly meaningful after that journey.
And being included among the top entertainers in the South and nationwide?
That's pretty damn cool.
Thank You
No recognition like this belongs to one person.
It belongs to every couple who trusted us with a room full of their favorite people.
Every planner who invited us into the creative process.
Every photographer, filmmaker, venue, florist, caterer, production professional, musician, and creative partner who collaborated with us.
Every guest who decided they weren't quite ready to leave the dance floor.
And everyone who has supported Completely Celebrated as we've continued asking one question:
What makes a celebration actually feel incredible?
We're still asking.
We're still learning.
And we're incredibly grateful that the work is being recognized along the way.
Here's to whatever we design next.
