  • 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 could not have been more happy with our choice to use Buckeye Entertainment for our wedding. Our DJ, Jazmyn, was phenomenal and we continuously felt lucky that we were connected with her. Throughout the whole process she listened to what we wanted and helped us shape the music playlist when we were stuck. We felt completely confident throughout that she was going to deliver on the music and she sure did! 3 We also added a photo booth through Buckeye and want to give a special shout out to Sammie who did an amazing job helping and engaging our guests at the photobooth!

I chose Josh Stanley originally because I had a family friend use them for their wedding and only had amazing praise. Little did I know that everyone who I had talked to made the process as easy and fun as possible. We got paired with Joe and I could go on forever about how amazing he was. Very easy to talk to and he knew exactly what vibe we wanted and very much delivered. After talking with my guests after words, they only had high praise for him as he would give announcements for guests so they knew what was going on. Joe even had some videos of the dance floor that were taken and gave it to us (did not ask for originally). Joe was absolutely the best to work with!

We couldn’t be happier with Arch City Lights! From beginning to end, the process was easy and stress free. Emily (band leader/lead singer) used Googledocs (I think) to track all of our information – a document she and I could both access and update at any time – making the planning process a breeze. She knew all the right questions to ask and accommodated every one of our requests, even learning the song for our first dance. All of the band members were fantastic and so talented. Our guests seemed to really enjoy themselves – many guests commented how impressed the were with the band.

You want your wedding to be a reflection of the thought and effort you've put into it. And you want your personalities, your vibe, and your love story to shine through in every last detail. That's the very reason why I host a creative session where we'll uncover the unique vision you've been dreaming up. And my part in making that dream a reality. We'll talk about expectations, music, and what would make this night a 5-star, raving success for you. Bottom line, I don't just want to be another DJ. And you don't want me to just show up and play America's Top 40.

Loren was totally amazing!! So professional and skilled at his trade. An empty dance floor was my biggest fear, Loren assured us that he would have everyone dancing all night long and he DELIVERED! I also had a few oddball songs on my must plays and he was able to throw them into the mix with no trouble at all. We truly appreciated his communication through the planning process, he made us feel completely comfortable and confident in choosing him!!

I started my DJ career in college on our college radio station. It gave me valuable on-air experience and allowed me to become the DJ for the college parties and weddings. Then for 10 years, I worked for a large entertainment company, traveling across the country setting up DJ businesses. I finally settled down here and established Columbus Pro DJs in 1998. 25 Years later we have performed at 1000+ weddings and have the experience to help you have the best wedding possible.

We hired Columbus Pro DJs for our wedding and couldn't be happier with their service. Communication was done through email and phone, and they were very responsive and professional throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the DJ was on time, respectful, and did a great job with the flow of songs, playing all the songs we requested. We had so much fun on the dance floor, we didn't want it to end! Rob, the DJ, had a great, fun attitude and did a wonderful job on the microphone as well. Overall, we highly recommend Columbus Pro DJs for their quality of work and value.

The live musician team has been absolutely phenomenal to work with. They provide me and my clients with any type of musician requested — from ceremony to cocktail hour and beyond. Their response time is incredibly fast, and their knowledge of music and event flow is outstanding. Tara, who runs the team, is truly the best. She works extremely hard, can find any musician I need, and consistently responds in under five minutes. As an entertainer myself, having a reliable and organized music team is everything — and my clients absolutely love her musicians.

We had Nick Wright as our "master DJ" for our June 2026 wedding at Landoll's Mohican Castle. Nick was AMAZING - he was open to every genre of music; including k-pop, the Lord of the Rings soundtrack, video game music, early 2000s, and more! He walked us through the party pleasers app, which was fantastic. You could upload full spotify playlists straight into the app. The app also breaks down each section of wedding day for every song you may need (ceremony, cocktail hour, cutting the cake, dinner, dancing, etc.). Nick was super nice and was able to do our sound for the ceremony, cocktail hour, full dinner and reception, and our grand exit. He was open to all our suggestions; and he brought up things to decide that we hadn't even considered! During the wedding, Nick made sure to check in with us personally and made sure we were well taken care of. I highly recommend party pleasers for the large selection of rentals, lighting, and their amazing DJs -especially Nick! Lastly, Nick was an amazing "game show host" for our scavenger hunt - we made sure the musical chairs were ready, mc'd the entire hunt, and played a different song for each item! The music was amazing - he played all of our must haves, followed our do-not-play list, and had some amazing early 2000s hip-hop mixes.

The Bluewater Kings Band provided what truly felt like white glove service to make our wedding dance floor exactly what we wanted. Ryan was extremely responsive over email and our phone call before the wedding allowed us to lay out what we wanted the experience to be. In addition to how easy it was to work with them, their performance was spectacular. They were professional, polished and musically phenomenal. Their set list truly sounded like we had hand-picked every song (we only gave them a list of our favorite types of music and they knocked it out of the park). We leveraged the piano player for our ceremony music and it was beautiful and a nice touch at a reasonable price point as an add-on.

Elegance is the best! We hired a strings trio to play during our church ceremony, and it truly added such an emotional component. Music is very important to me as someone who spent a lot of her life competitive dancing, and Elegance exceeded all of our expectations.
