Opera Columbus

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.

For our corporate holiday gathering on the stage of the Palace Theatre, Opera Columbus kicked off our program by singing "The Twelve Days of Christmas" from the balcony. It was spectacular and a moment the guests definitely remembered!

Olivia played the harp at our wedding 9/1/2024 and did a wonderful job. It was the perfect added piece to our ceremony. She played before (while our guests and bridal party were getting seated/lining up), during (when my dad and I walked down), and after (when our guests exited) the ceremony and the music was just beautiful and peaceful. I met with her a few weeks prior to pick out the music we wanted and she had a lot of different songs/varieties to choose from. She was very responsive and showed up on time (which meant a lot being a bride). We couldn’t have asked for better music to be played for our wedding and our guests loved it/her too. We highly recommend her as a harpist for your wedding.

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've performed in clubs and events all over the country. I will add a unique level of performance to your DJ's set that you and your guests will remember for a lifetime.

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 

5.0

  • 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. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.

When planning our reception we knew we wanted to add something a little special and Taylor with his Sax was the perfect addition! First of all, he was incredibly communicative and easy to work with, super professional. We had also hired a separate DJ and had a quick chat a week before the wedding to discuss a few of our ‘must play’ songs. Taylor was excited and even willing to learn one that he hadn’t known before hand. We hired him to play some soft jazz and pop during our cocktail hour and then for our reception with our DJ. He absolutely killed it. During the reception he was right there on the dance floor with everyone and our guests were having the best time. Even at our goodbye brunch the day after, multiple guests kept complimenting on what an amazing job he did. Needless to say I highly recommend Taylor for your wedding!!

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 absolutely wonderful when he played for my wedding in October 2018. Not only is he unbelievably talented, but he made the whole process very simple and easy for me (a very stressed bride!). He gave me a few options of songs I could use, and happily accepted my song ideas, as well. He worked so well with my church’s music director and figured out times they could practice together. All in all, Devin was kind, helpful, easy-going, relaxed, SO talented and truly made the music aspect of the wedding such a treat. I highly, highly recommend him.
