Opera Columbus 

5.0

Columbus, OH
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $250

For many generations, the drama, thrill, and exhilaration of opera has been the exclusive domain of too few. At Opera Columbus, we’re out to refresh – to breathe new life – into the way opera is performed and presented. Gone are the days of formality and unspoken rules. We are creating an open, innovative, fun, and unexpected form of entertainment that reflects the young, vibrant, and diverse city in which we live and play. Tweet, hoot, clap, and enjoy the show in your own personal way. Dress as you like and express your pleasure without the restrictions of traditional propriety. Go ahead, no one here will judge you.

Opera Columbus helped us bring holiday cheer to the lobby of the Ohio Theatre for A Christmas Carol in 2024. They provided lovely ambiance with festive songs as people made their way to their seats before the performances began. They were easy to coordinate with, came prepared with content to sing, and did a beautiful job during their performance. We are looking forward to having them back in our lobby again!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Erica! She played during our dinner reception and was truly one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding day. My husband and I loved her, our guests absolutely loved her, and she provided the perfect entertainment during the dinner hour—elevated, engaging, and so beautifully curated. She completely brought our vision to life. The music was thoughtfully selected, fit the atmosphere perfectly, and added such a special energy to the room without ever overpowering the moment. On top of her talent, she was wonderful to work with from start to finish—professional, kind, prompt, and so detail-oriented throughout the planning process. The biggest testament to how incredible she is? We already have friends who attended our wedding and have since booked her for their own wedding this coming summer. Could not recommend her enough—if you’re considering her, book immediately!

I've been playing sax professionally in all genres of music since age 18 and focused on playing club/dance music with DJs since the mid 2000s. I am versatile enough to play with your DJ or I can provide a sax+DJ package. I live in Southern California but perform all over the country and internationally. If you're willing to cover my travel expenses then I'm happy to com perform for you where ever you are! Having me on live sax alongside your DJ is a great way to set your musical experience apart. It combines the best of a DJ experience but with a unique live element that you and your guests will not forget! Visit my Instagram for more.

Our guests are still talking about the amazing entertainment from our wedding, and thanks to Jason we had everyone on the dance floor all night long! He is truly talented, professional and brought the party- we couldn’t imagine having an event without him and DJ Misha again.

BEN KYLE - ROMANTICA MUSIC

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Columbus, OH for additional fees

Hey, I'm Ben! A Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter whose music has been featured on ABC's Nashville, and in American Songwriter magazine. I delight in creating unforgettable wedding experiences, with the perfect song at the perfect moment. With over two decades performing at iconic Twin Cities venues like First Avenue, the Fitzgerald and State Theaters, and touring nationally and internationally, I specialize in delivering heartfelt acoustic performances that resonate emotionally and spiritually with couples and guests.

We were planning a small wedding on a modest budget but knew the music had to be something special. As longtime fans of Romantica and Ben Kyle, we reached out to see if he’d perform at our ceremony and we’re so glad we did! Ben was wonderful to work with from start to finish. He helped us select the perfect mix of songs, including a mix of his originals and a beautiful cover that fit seamlessly into our ceremony. His music brought such heart and authenticity to our day, and his communication throughout the process was excellent. Truly one of the highlights of our wedding!

From the moment we booked Ryan Shephard for our wedding, he was incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions, and made the entire process easy. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him.

Taylor Field is not only a knowledgeable and talented musician, he is also a joy to work with. Professional, kind, and an excellent communicator, Taylor was everything my wife and I wanted from our wedding DJ and more . Everyone at our wedding loved the addition of the saxophone during certain songs. The added live element to a recorded track that we all know and love was refreshing and exciting to hear on the dance floor.

Devin Arrington, Virtuoso Violinist 

5.0

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves Columbus, OH for additional fees

Pittsburgh's Premier Solo Wedding Violinist! I'm a professional, award-winning violinist and composer with tons of wedding experience. Whether you wish for elegant classical music, toe-tapping fiddle tunes, or a favorite popular song, I can help you find that perfect sound! I offer high-end wedding sound at an affordable price. The instrument on which I perform is a gorgeous sounding violin made by MacArthur "genius" grant winner, Joseph Curtin. For outdoor weddings I use a Fishman SA330X Performance Audio System which provides terrific amplification without sacrificing the purity of acoustic violin.

Devin was the perfect touch for our outdoor ceremony. There are not adequate words to describe his musicianship and talent. He went out of his way to make sure that he played exactly what we wanted. Devin also played at our reception and asked our guests if they wanted to hear something specific. My Austrian side of the family asked him to play "Edelweiss," which he promptly began to play. I can not rate this musician high enough. He also played the music for our first dance, which he learned, recorded at different speeds, added bars to the recording, and again, went out of his way to deliver the greatest day of our lives. I highly recommend Devin, and if I ever need a violinist/fiddler again, Devin is the only person I am going to call. As far as professionalism goes, Devin arrived early, and had everything that he needed. He also gave us options for what effects we wanted to come from the speaker. He was quick to respond to emails and we never had any problems getting in touch with him. This musician is a real professional.
