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.

Steve and the team at KLM & Associates were phenomenal! As a quick responder and good listener during the planning process, Steve made sure he understood our vision and the flow we wanted for our big day. When our wedding finally arrived, he went above and beyond to make it perfect. Steve taught a fun line dance, filled in during breaks, and kept guests entertained all night long. He followed our schedule precisely while still smoothly accommodating last-minute changes. He even snapped some pics of his own throughout the day and sent them to me! Most importantly, Steve interacted wonderfully with our guests, adding so much energy and joy to the party. I’ve worked many weddings and never experienced a more friendly and down to earth, fun, guy!

Buckeye Entertainment 

5.0

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!

Jazmyn DJ’d for our wedding and it was an absolute blast. She’s a true professional while still being fun and chill. We are both musicians, so of course we have a lot of opinions about music. There was a pretty wide variety of music we wanted played, and several different cues for when to start different pieces for the ceremony and reception, and Jazmyn made it all work perfectly. She also did a great job as MC helping the event run smoothly. She expertly managed the atmosphere so that we and our guests could dance the night away.

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!

Josh Staley productions was recommended twice to us - once from a friend and once from our vendor - so it was an easy decision to work with them! Brad was our DJ and kept the party going all night with people dancing and having fun. We got so many compliments about him, his energy, and his music mixing. We got married on New Years Eve so we appreciated Brad’s talented creativity on ways to bring in the New Year with our favorite songs. It was easy and fun working with him, as each prep meeting left us more and more excited for the day. We’d recommend Brad to everyone and anyone! We also got the photo booth and up lighting add ons. We went with the printed copy edition of the photo booth so it was fun getting an email with the digital gallery of all the photos in addition to a nice book with all the physical copies and notes from our guest.

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!!

He was very professional, set up and tore down fast. I gave him playlists for everything and he followed them but also added some songs in similar genres and our dance floor was going all night long! We did run into some snags with our timeline and he was so helpful with helping us rearrange some things throughout the night and making things smooth. Would recommend!
