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! I cannot recommend KLM & Associates highly enough - Steve's communication, professionalism and incredible DJ skills made our wedding a blast we'll never forget!

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!

Buckeye Entertainment was a wonderful addition to our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was timely and helpful, with great reminders about song choices and event timing. Alex arrived early and set up smoothly. Once the reception began, they did a fantastic job reading the room and selecting songs that appealed to all our guests. Their song collection is extensive with hits new and old, and they kept the dance floor packed all night long. The energy was contagious. Overall, Buckeye Entertainment's professionalism, punctuality and impressive musical repertoire made our wedding celebration even more special. We would enthusiastically recommend them to other couples looking to liven up their receptions!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Emily and Arch City Lights as a whole was truly a breeze. They allowed you to customize your experience with them as much as you need. Emily does a great job at keeping the timeline for planning etc. and initiating communication along the way. We had Arch City Lights set up sound for our Ceremony for which they did not play. Everything sounded great, was a very modern and minimal setup (they use computers for mixing etc. so it is not overly bulky). The quality was incredible and there were no squeals or sound problems. They were able to set this up very quickly and efficiently and the staff were calm, very friendly, and followed all venue rules etc. - only asking questions when extremely necessary. We also had Arch City Lights perform as a Jazz Trio for our Cocktail Hour. This was while the wedding party was taking photos, so I am very happy that we got a video. They were very engaging, extremely talented, and you could tell they had a great time playing. It really set the perfect mood for the cocktail hour. Emily was the Emcee for the entire wedding. Her "stage presence", calmness, and ability to roll with the punches made her the perfect candidate for this job and she worked hard to make sure she pronounced every name perfectly (which she did - even Metivier (haha)). She has a great voice and really added the narrator and vibe that we needed. She followed all cues and social prompts on her own and really took charge of the whole process - making everything go very smoothly and perfectly accompanying all of the wedding pieces with pre-chosen music that we determined together. They DJ all of the songs you want and make it very simple. Lastly, Arch City lights played us into the night and was truly the life of the party. They adapted their original schedule from 3 sets with 2 breaks to 2 longer sets with less breaks (I am assuming to keep the party going - thanks), and this show will be talked about for years to come. Every single attendee made sure to comment on Emily and the others' "pipes," and skills on their corresponding instruments. They did an amazing job playing songs that we asked for and keeping the party rocking. They had a full band with Horns etc. and everything about them was perfect and professional. If I had some constructive criticism to give, I really would, but Emily and Arch City Lights went above and beyond in so many ways to make this an unforgettable night. I would not have changed a thing.

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!!
