About

Bow Tied Weddings is now Completely Celebrated. Here's a little backstory:

For eight years, Bow Tied Weddings was regarded as one of the most sought-after wedding DJ companies in Richmond, Virginia. Founded by Matthew Davey with a passion for creating unforgettable experiences, the company quickly established itself as a premier choice for couples seeking a dynamic and seamless entertainment experience. Between 2015 and 2023, Bow Tied Weddings provided a team of expert DJ and MC services that elevated weddings with custom-curated playlists, professional hosting, and a keen ability to read the crowd and keep the dance floor alive. The company’s dedication to excellence was recognized year after year with the WeddingWire Couples’ Choice Award, reflecting its consistent commitment to delivering top-tier service.

Now rebranded as Completely Celebrated, couples can still expect the personalized entertainment, high-energy performances, and seamless event execution that Bow Tied Weddings was known for. The transition also brought exciting new opportunities, including a strong partnership with Completely Captured, a luxury wedding photography service, allowing couples to book a DJ and photographer duo for a seamless wedding experience.

As Completely Celebrated continues to provide expert DJ services, the heart of Bow Tied Weddings lives on. Couples looking for an exceptional wedding entertainment experience—where the music is personal, the energy is electric, and the memories are timeless—can trust that the same dedication and expertise are still at the forefront of what Matthew brings to every celebration.

Absolutely Incredible!!

We had the pleasure of working with Bow Tied Weddings our whole wedding weekend. They were absolutely INCREDIBLE!! They helped run all the Friday rehearsal details, emceed and DJed our rehearsal dinner. On Saturday, wedding day, Bow Tied Weddings made our big day go so smoothly: from setup-details, emceeing, coordinating the whole day, creating the wedding time line and of course having the BEST DANCE PARTY we could ask for. For our Sunday wedding brunch, they were there to help us end the best weekend ever with playing fun tunes.

From the moment we met Bow Tied Weddings, they immediately offered to help us through this wedding process. They recommended vendors and answered any questions we had along the way. They made it a point to built a relationship with us & our other wedding vendors.

Bow Tied Weddings went above and beyond professionally but also personally. We think so highly of them and all they did to make our wedding weekend so special. We truly love them and will now always have a special place for Bow Tied Weddings in our hearts. By the time we had to part for the weekend there were definitely some tears because they put so much heart & soul into their clients. We would highly recommend Bow Tied Weddings to make your day or wedding weekend perfect!

The Perfect Night

We met Matthew 10 months before our wedding, in hopes of finding a DJ that would match the energy of our wedding guests and meet our high expectations for wedding entertainment. We were thrilled to say that he surpassed those expectations and turned the night into something more than we could have ever imagined. We signed with him for our reception music, but he was super helpful in the weeks leading up to the wedding and even organizing some special non-music requests on the big day. He personalized the night to us and our crowd. We even decided to extend the party an hour later, despite recommendations from other vendors, and Matthew not only made it happen, but kept the dance floor full the entire time until our send off. If you want a DJ to push buttons and play the next song on a playlist, he’s not your guy. But if you want a true professional, who is passionate about his work, and wants the best for his clients, look no further.

Excellent Service, Well Worth the Price

Matthew went above and beyond making our wedding reception as seamless as possible and it showed. We had multiple meetings beforehand so he could get a sense of what we wanted and again, it really showed. Guests had nothing but positive feedback about the big day, and a lot of that was due to Matthew's attentiveness and service. Just a few examples were his willingness to set up our floral arrangements and activate an audio guestbook without us even asking him to do that. He got the dance floor going and kept the party moving. Additionally, after the reception was over, he stayed behind, cleaned up all of our leftover decorations and other items and stored them for us, again without us asking. Would absolutely recommend Bow Tied Experiences to anyone looking to throw an epic reception.

10/10 recommend!

I booked Matthew out 18 months in advance because I was that set on having him be our wedding DJ and I am SO glad we did! He is second to none in customer service, professionalism, ease of working with him, and his quality and performance. The dance floor was packed all night & everyone was telling me how awesome our DJ was. Honestly, the DJ was the most important vendor to us, they can make or break a wedding in my opinion, and he definitely made ours one for the books. I cannot recommend Matthew and Bow Tied Weddings enough! Do yourself the favor and message him for your event :)

Exceeded All Expectations

Matt went above and beyond to make our wedding exactly what we hoped for and then some! From the start, he was personable and made an effort to get to know us as a couple and what our guests might look for, rather than making assumptions or working off a "templated plan." He was nonjudgmental and offered creative suggestions/solutions on matters we didn't think of or didn't know enough about. At the same time, he took into account every tiny/unusual request or detail we asked for. Countless guests commented on how skilled he was at reading the room and keeping the energy high all night... guests who otherwise don't dance or party at weddings were on the dance floor all night thanks to Matt! While we only hired him as a DJ, from what I understand he has since added on coordinator services, and he showcased those skills as well! He was more than just a DJ who shows up to play songs- he worked seamlessly with our other vendors to ensure a smooth flow. He kept us on schedule, moving things along just as we had imagined, while staying flexible with our whims throughout the night. He even checked in to make sure we had drinks, food, etc. as festivities went along. He is truly dedicated to his role, and his passion shines through, making our day even better than we could have ever imagined!

Such a Fun Experience!

Bow Tied Weddings was such a fun experience! After a year delay due to the pandemic, the long awaited dance party at our anniversary vow renewal celebration was a hit. Matthew played all the best music that people wanted to dance to and have a good time with and none of the lame, worn out wedding songs! During the planning process they were super attentive, great with communication, and flexible with my vision for a slightly different run of show since it was a renewal event. They helped keep the party going all night long and appreciate all they did! We had a blast!

Excellent DJ

Through rescheduling and changing venues, Matthew was consistently great to work with. We had a multicultural wedding and he researched the Ethiopian music that my wife's family wanted, effortlessly working it into the crowd pleasers everyone expects to hear. Our guests consistently raved about the music.

The Best in the Business!

Matthew and Karese were phenomenal throughout the entire planning process and on our wedding day! Colin and I could not have picked a better duo to play music for our cocktail hour, lead our reception festivities and music, and just be a calming, yet fun presence for us. Up until the wedding, they met with us a few times, answering any questions and making sure that everything would be perfect for our day. During the reception, they knew exactly how to make our guests feel comfortable and have a fun time. They gave us the idea of having a last dance while guests were getting ready for our grand exit and we absolutely loved this part of our day! We were blown away by the level of entertainment that Matthew and Karese provide. I highly recommend booking with BowTied Weddings, they are truly the best!

Book them!!

We loved working with the Bow Tied team. We worked with Matt originally, and then due to postponing (COVID) we got to work with Bessan for our perfect day. We loved the process with Bow Tied where they met with you, provided a survey to get to know you and your music tastes for you wedding, and then they BRING THE EVERGY on the day of. Everything was flawless day of. Thank you Bessan!!!

Best Duo Ever!

Wow, where do I even start! Matthew and Karese were a dream team to work with. They were there for us from 2 weeks before our wedding until our farewell brunch the day after the wedding. Matthew was very attentive to the crowd and played a diverse mixture of songs that everyone enjoyed all night. The wedding was supposed to end at 10pm but because everyone was having so much fun, Matthew kept the party going until 1am! And Karese was an absolute god send. I never hired a wedding coordinator (biggest mistake ever) and Karese stepped up and handled everything. From the rehearsal, decorating, and day of set up to making sure our entire wedding ran smoothly. Working with Matthew and Karese was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we’re happy to say that they weren’t just vendors, but became friends by the end of our festivities. We can’t thank them enough for everything they did to make our wedding so special. If you’re thinking about working with them DEFINITELY do it, you won’t be disappointed! 😊
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
