We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe. As soon as the music started, the dance floor filled up and stayed packed all night long! The set list matched our taste perfectly. The band brought a highly professional yet fun energy that kept the party going. Their musicianship was top-notch and their song selection had something for all our guests to enjoy.

Buckeye Entertainment

Columbus, OH
  • DJ
  • Starts at $999

As a company, Buckeye Entertainment has done thousands and thousands and thousands of weddings–chances are you’ve seen us somewhere! On average we’re at 450 or so weddings a year in the Columbus area; in fact, the vast majority of the weddings we do are direct referrals from past couples, other vendors, and venues! So far we’re ten pro DJs, two carry-all-my-stuff DJs, two lead photographers, and a full time officiant, planner & coordinator, along with a handful of photo booth attendants and second shooters. People seem to think we’re the best of the best in Central Ohio; and we not so humbly agree!

We are so glad we used Buckeye Entertainment! DJ Mike was great to work with. He made us so comfortable and confident that everything would go smoothly going into wedding week. His sound equipment worked perfectly for our outside ceremony, he helped keep us on schedule, and he kept the party going on the dance floor with his lights and music. He really helped make our wedding the best day ever!

We had Chris as our wedding DJ, and we could not have been any more pleased! He and his team were recommended to us by a family member, and the entire experience was easy, fun, and a huge success on the big day! We had been to three other weddings during 2023 prior to our own, and in every case, the music was just okay. As a result, we knew that we really wanted someone who was going to show our guests a good time, and Chris DID NOT DISAPPOINT! He absolutely blew us away and enthralled our guests with his selections and mixes. We had family and friends on the dance floor from start to finish, and the music perfectly blended both of our unique musical tastes. Music aside, Chris was also incredibly polite and accommodating. We had to make some last minute changes to the introductions and Chris made it happen without a hitch. I cannot express fully how much we appreciated his work and professionalism during such a meaningful day in our lives. If I could give Chris and iShine Music Production 10 stars out of 5, I would. I couldn't recommend them more highly!

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They were at our wedding on 9/2 at Swan Lake Event Center and they made it the best, most amazing party of my entire life. Our dance floor was packed all night! They were playing guitar on the pianos, did great crowd work, they also provided music for our ceremony. Greg had a few conversations with us leading up to the big day and was so easy to talk to about what we wanted. I have continued to get compliments about how awesome they were and my cousin has booked them for his wedding after seeing them perform at mine. I would go to a concert just to see them play again.
