The photographer, videographer, and photo booth was absolutely perfect and our guests had a blast! However, even after going through the work of submitting a Spotify play list and adding do not play songs or DJ played the wrong version of our first dance song (I checked and we had the correct version listed on our playlist we sent over), he also played songs from our do not play list to the point I, the bride, came over to ask if he had the wrong list. He admitted he was using songs from the do not play list as he was not paying attention. I would also like to note, though our wedding was more casual, our DJ was dressed in a sloppy manner. His shirt was half untucked from his pants, there were stains on his shirt and pants. Besides a few hiccups, direct Entertainment was wonderful to work with!

My husband and I were so lucky to be able to work with Jeff as our DJ. He is so professional and organized, which we really appreciated since we were planning our own wedding. He was always so willing to help out with anything. He also did a great job of keeping the energy up for the whole night at our wedding. The dance floor was packed the entire time and so many of of guests pointed out how much they enjoyed our DJ specifically. One thing Jeff did that we really appreciated was he made recorded announcements to play to remind people of things like staying after for family photos and for our unplugged ceremony. 10/10, would book JBK entertainment again.

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.

I can’t say enough amazing things about Y.S.E Entertainment and our incredible DJ, Walter (aka DJ YSE!) From our very first conversation, I knew he was the DJ for us - so friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about what he does. Leading up to our September wedding, Walter made everything feel so easy and fun. One of my biggest priorities when choosing a DJ was finding someone who could cater to our bilingual guests, and between DJ YSE and DJ EVL, we were so well taken care of. The music was incredible, and we got endless compliments from our friends and family. My heart was honestly so full seeing the dance floor packed all night long - and it was all thanks to them and their hard work keeping the music going and the vibes high. I’d work with them again a thousand times over. My husband and I feel so lucky to have had them be such a big part of our day!

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!

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 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 harpist and violinist were absolutely incredible — truly one of the most magical parts of our entire wedding day. My husband and I were completely in awe, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful and cinematic the music was. It felt like something straight out of a movie, especially with the stunning ambiance of our ceremony location. From the very beginning, the process of choosing music through the company’s website was seamless. There were so many amazing song options to pick from, and we were so happy with our final selections. Hearing them come to life — especially on violin and harp — was beyond words. The musicians played so eloquently and gracefully, and their talent was unmatched. The music added a romantic, emotional, and elegant touch that elevated everything to a whole new level. Communication with the company was excellent. They were quick to respond, always friendly and accommodating, and remained professional and patient — even when unexpected weather challenges came up on the day of the wedding. They were flexible, understanding, and worked with us to make sure everything went smoothly. The quality of the performance was truly a 10 out of 10. Guests were completely blown away, and many told us how unforgettable and moving the ceremony music was. The transitions between songs were smooth and perfectly timed. I would 100% recommend this company to any couple looking to add something special to their ceremony. They are incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and just a dream to work with. We’re so grateful to have had them be part of our big day — they helped make it feel absolutely magical.

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.
