Opera Columbus 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
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!

Mak Briggs Music 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $600
  • Serves Columbus, OH

My name is Mak - short for Makayla. I’ve been singing professionally since 2013; I also play piano and guitar. Part of the reason I love what I do is the connection music creates between people. I am well versed in pop, country, classic rock, R&B, and classical music. I can’t wait to talk about your event!

Makayla performed at my wedding ceremony and she was nothing but amazing! Working with Makayla was so easy and simple, she provided her own equipment and made sure all of my requests were met. After the ceremony, I receive many compliments on how beautiful her performance was. I would definitely recommend hiring Makayla not only is she the nicest person ever but has a beautiful voice that made our special day more special!

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 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!

Devin Arrington, Virtuoso Violinist 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • 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.
