Buckeye Entertainment

We are so happy we choose Buckeye entertainment for our music and entertainment needs for our wedding! DJ James was attentive to our needs, didn’t miss a beat and played all of the songs we wanted to play at our wedding. The portal they use for planning was most helpful during our wedding planning process. Our guests had fun and the dance floor was hopping! I’d recommend this vendor for your wedding music and entertainment needs. Thank you!

Buckeye Entertainment was so easy to work with from the start! The online profile they have you create made the timeline of the evening and song choices super seamless. We couldn’t be happier with our choice to have Buckeye Entertainment DJ our wedding (and ceremony music!) Alex was awesome and was so key to making our night perfect! Thank you!! ❤️

Great to work with and will make sure you get exactly what you want out of your wedding experience. Alex Durr was a great DJ night of, brought plenty of energy himself to the wedding, and was as easy as could be to work and plan with before the wedding. Affordable too for what they bring to the table

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.

Jazmyn Carter did an amazing job at our wedding!! The planning process was great and she explained everything very well. During the actual wedding she was great with helping get a couple singers all set up with mics and really played music that we wanted to be played. We also had a photo booth through Buckeye and that was an amazing experience as well. A great party favor for people to take home and enjoy!

We hired Alex Durr, and he was absolutely incredible! From the first song to the last, the dance floor was energetic all night long. Alex did an amazing job reading the crowd and keeping the energy up throughout the entire event. His professionalism and ability to seamlessly blend different music genres kept everyone happy, from our youngest guests to the older ones. He also worked perfectly with our timeline and made sure everything ran smoothly. We couldn’t have asked for a better DJ—highly recommend Alex for any event!

We were very pleased with our DJ services through Buckeye Entertainment. Our DJ Alex was fantastic! He ensured he understood our vision and hopes thoroughly before the wedding day, managed the timeline well the day of, and kept the music perfectly timed and guests highly engaged. He was able to improvise a little as needed the day-of to make sure the timing of all of our music was PERFECT from the ceremony all the way through to the end of the night. We also did a choreographed first dance with specific timing requests and Alex nailed it! He was very professional and prepared, easy to work with, flexible, kind, and innovative. The online platform provided to plan your event details is user friendly and helps keep everything straight for all parties. We had a couple in-person meetings before the wedding day and Buckeye Entertainment keeps track of when to schedule those and has good availability to meet at their location. We would highly recommend Alex and Buckeye Entertainment to any couple looking for a wedding DJ! Thank you for making our special day so perfect!

We had Alex and he did an awesome job keeping everyone on the dance floor!!! Highly recommend!

We loved our DJ -- he was incredible, very sweet and did a great job of controlling the music for the night. Our dance floor was alive just like we wanted it. They're preparation and communication from the office could be improved, they would send my partner some emails and not myself which resulted in some things getting lost. Highly recommend overall!

Jazmyn from Buckeye Entertainment was an incredible DJ. She was perfectly communicative, professional, and thought quick on her feet when we had to change a few things up the day-of. She had the dance floor going all night long too!! We had multiple comments from guests on how great she was.

Working with Jazmyn was amazing! She was super easy to work with, had extensive knowledge of how to keep our guests engaged + having fun, and helped us build an awesome schedule so that our day ran smoothly! Buckeye's music selection & planning software was super easy to work with and gave us confidence that we had the right music selected for every single part of the day. The costs and expectations were super clear up front so we never felt worried about additional fees or additions later on (so helpful when planning on a budget!) We HIGHLY recommend Jazmyn and Buckeye Entertainment!

Alex Durr was absolutely the best possible DJ for our wedding. My wife, myself, and guests all talked about the job well done in the days since the wedding

FIVE STARS! We are so grateful for Buckeye Entertainment and DJ Alex. Our wedding was an absolute dream. Alex and Buckeye Entertainment were responsive, professional and genuinely excited about making our wedding day unforgettable. Our dance floor was packed all night long with songs of our choice and the perfect recommendations to keep the party alive. Highly recommend!

Hiring Buckeye Entertainment was one of the best choices we made for our wedding, and in particular DJ Jon Maddy made the night one we'll never forget. DJ Jon was dedicated to helping other vendors, addressing every request we had, and making the night so much fun. We gave him a few songs to go off of, and he was able to curate the best music playlist for our party. Numerous of our guests complimented the music and DJ. Everyone in the area should hire Buckeye Entertainment and DJ Jon Maddy!

Jazmyn was absolutely amazing. We are an LGBT couple and Jazmyn made us feel very welcomed and made sure we felt top priority.

Jazmyn at Buckeye Entertainment was SO great. I have always wanted a party at my wedding and Jazmyn definitely brought it!! She was professional throughout the entire process. I really enjoyed that we got to meet her in person and talk through the specifics of the reception with her. She brought up points and suggestions that I never thought about. I completely trusted her skills and talent. Thank you so much for everything. If you want a stress-free DJ/Entertainment experience definitely go with Buckeye Entertainment and request Jazmyn!

Such an amazing experience from beginning to end! James was our DJ and he was amazing! We also used the photo booth and had an amazing experience with that as well!

Alex was the absolute best. He had all of the songs we picked. Was patient and helped us keep it together when our schedule was thrown off. We also had a photobooth through buckeye and Tia helped run that. She was so much fun and was really good at coordinating the poses for the photos and was out there getting people to dance on our dance floor. Would 100% use them again and would 100% use Alex and Tia.

We recently had the pleasure of having James Brentson from Buckeye Entertainment as our wedding DJ, and I can’t recommend him enough! First off, communication with Buckeye Entertainment was always excellent. They are fast to respond and walked us through every part of the process; we never had any questions, concerns, or hiccups in any of the planning or at our wedding. When James got to our venue to set up, he immediately got to work and touched base with my husband and I about any changes we may have had for the day and to look at the space. He was so well organized and knew how to structure the evening so my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing. James handled the entire schedule of events and kept us on time for everything and even helped us adjust start times when we needed. He brought an incredible energy that set the tone for the entire evening, and we are so grateful to him for keeping the flow of the wedding going. No matter how overwhelmed my husband and I got navigating all of the events and people we knew James had the music and schedule under control, I can’t even begin to express what a relief that was to have off our plate. His playlist was a perfect blend of songs my husband and I wanted played and a great mix of his own. What truly stood out was his ability to personalize the experience, James really understood how to bring people to the dance floor! He not only flawlessly captured our vision but he also read the crowd perfectly and played music that kept everyone out dancing the entire reception. It felt like he had a sixth sense for what to play next, the entire night was great! Guests are still telling us about how fantastic he was, and how much they enjoyed his music selection. Pleasing everyone from different age groups is difficult, but James did it perfectly! If you want a DJ who knows how to read the room, create unforgettable moments, and keep the party going, James is your guy. He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and professional, we were so fortunate to have him DJ our wedding! Thank you for making our wedding so special! We can’t recommend James Brentson at Buckeye Entertainment enough!!

Buckeye Entertainment provided a wonderful experience for our guests and created a fun and exciting atmosphere for our wedding. Alex Durr worked with us to customize our songs and playlists for both our ceremony and reception. He was very knowledgeable and helpful in planning and Buckeye Entertainment's online portal is a powerful tool to help organize the wedding entertainment. Alex ran sound and music during our ceremony and reception and did a good job executing our vision. We also utilized a social photo booth during our reception and it was a huge hit with our guests! Each guests received a strip of their photos and left with captured memories of the night. Buckeye Entertainment also gave us printed and digital copies of everyone's photos from the night, which allowed us to have a wonderful one-of-a-kind memory of our guests and of our day. We would recommend Buckeye Entertainment without reservation.

Absolutely amazing!! Loved the website profile for all the planning and communication was great. Came extra prepared for some changes on wedding day and was completely fine with it. Alex was amazing and really kept the party on the dance floor. I’d recommend over and over again!!

Can’t recommend a DJ company enough! Aaron was amazing! He helped us with so much from timelines, to music, and much more. Everyone had so much fun dancing and partying.

Buckeye entertainment were great! They were quick to respond and answer all of our questions. Jazmyn was amazing! She listened to what we wanted and kept the dance floor packed all night. Definitely recommend!

Buckeye entertainment was the best dj company for our wedding. The day was so seamless and ran so smooth, Tong was the best we couldn’t have asked for better. Couldn’t recommend him enough!

Jazmyn was the best! She was super helpful with planning and creating a timeline for the day to include music. We also had some last minute changes to how long we were allowed to party but Jazmyn went with the flow and kept us less stressed while doing so. 100% recommend

Buckeye Entertainment was amazing to work with for our wedding! We had Mike as our DJ and we could not have asked for a better experience. He provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Not only was the music great, but he was so organized, efficient, and played a huge role in helping the night run smoothly. After dinner, he got the party started right away and it did not stop until the end of the night! We were on the dance floor the entire night and had so much fun! I would highly recommend Mike and the Buckeye Entertainment team to anyone.

James was a great DJ! He was extremely helpful and communicative during our meetings and especially on our wedding day! Our guests also enjoyed having the social booth at our wedding.

Buckeye Entertainment and our DJ Jordan were great to work with for our wedding this past month! Very clear communication and the website to request songs and put in our timeline was easy to use. Jordan took into consideration all of our requests and our plans for the evening. The music was great and people were on the dance floor the whole night, we had lots of complements on the music!

We did not book with this company because the pre-service process turned us off from them. Byron seems to be more interested in booking as fast as possible rather than agreeing to a fair contract and service. Their pricing is absolutely fair, however we didn't love the wording of their contract. As it stands, the contract will have you, the purchaser, covering the cost of any and all damages/injury (without a cap) to the DJ, their equipment, their belongings, etc. regardless as to if the damage was caused by you, someone that is employed by the venue, a vendor hired to be there, an invited guest, or even just some random person that sneaks into the event off the street. We offered something reasonable and were open to working with them to find some common ground that was good for both parties but they were unwilling to change their contract in any way shape or form. At the end of the day, Byron knows that wedding season is busy and they prioritize the next person that will inevitably come along (and may not read the contract) over you, the person that they are currently talking with. He will not hesitate to mention that they get "10 to 15 inquiries every day". They just see you as just another number. It almost seems to be a tactic to put a sense of urgency in you that you need to sign as fast as possible. Byron would not even extend the time we had to sign the contract to talk through the wording of the contract. Of course, that's his prerogative. It just doesn't feel like great service, felt a bit predatory, and left a bad taste in our mouths. We also found it a bit weird that they do not let you choose your DJ and they don't have any material online to show you how well they perform at weddings. Their competitors have these types of materials, and their competitors allow you to choose your DJ! According to Byron, "those are not real" and they, "only show you what they want you to see". Of course they do, that's how marketing works. But at least it's something that you would be able to listen to and judge other than reviews of people online whom you've never met. I just don't know how much I trust people leaving reviews on here because I know that I probably would not be able to tell the difference between a 5 star DJ and a 3 star DJ. How often do people even leave a 2, 3 or 4 star review for any service? At the time of writing this, I will be the only 2 star review. I will say that the person we met with was wonderful. I'm sure they would have done a great job, we just wanted to be able to sample his work the same way we were able to sample others from different companies, and we wanted to make sure the contract was fair. Lastly, Byron seemed to come across as a bit passive aggressive. To be fair to him, I don't think that he means to do so! He was very responsive and got back to us very quickly. I just don't know if he's aware that ending an email with ":)" doesn't come across too well to our generation, so keep that in mind if you contact them.

We couldn't have been happier with DJ Jazmyn at our wedding! She was incredibly accommodating and kept the party going, even in the sweltering heat. Despite the high temperatures making it hard for some of our guests to dance, she got everyone on the dance floor and created an amazing atmosphere. One of the standout moments for me was when Jazmyn noticed I was struggling with the heat. Without hesitation, she lent me her personal neck fan, which was an absolute lifesaver! This small act of kindness made all the difference and allowed me to fully enjoy the night. Jazmyn also did an exceptional job staying on track with our timeline. Everything flowed seamlessly, and she didn’t miss a single beat. If you're looking for a DJ who goes above and beyond, Jazmyn is the one! Highly recommend!

Jordan had never performed at our venue before. However, after the couple meetings we had with him we felt like we made the right choice. He was helpful in timing our events during the reception and courteous to the bridal party once we arrived. Excellent DJ for an indoor wedding and good music taste. He played Hang on Sloopy for us as my wife and I had met each other at Ohio State.

We absolutely loved having Mike as our DJ. He was incredibly professional thoruhgout the whole experience. From prelimiary meetings, set up before the reception, and during the reception, he was professional the entire time. We also were impressed with his attention to detail and flexibility throughout the event.

Jazmyn was everything we wanted and more. She made planning and preparing a breeze. We had a few planning calls before the event, where she asked all of the right questions and filled in the gaps we would have forgotten. She really got a sense for our music style, what we wanted and what the crowd wanted. BE’s planning website was extremely easy to use and well thought out. We included absolutely everything for our day, down to the minute. The cocktail hour vibe was perfect. And the dinner music was amazing. The dance floor was most important to me, I love to dance and I wanted our guests to be on the dance floor with us. I never left the dance floor. So much so that I missed our cupcakes!! I never had an inclination to request a song. Each song was better than the last. Thank you for making such a difference in our wedding, and for being the best!

Highly highly recommend Buckeye Entertainment and specificially James Brentson. He was a great person to work with when curating a plan for our wedding and reception as well as kept the dance floor going all night. We received MANY compliments from guests for the dance floor and his music choices for weeks following our wedding.

Mike was great, everything met my expectations and everyone had a great time!

Our DJ Jordan was awesome!! We booked pretty last minute and he had made it happen! We would definitely recommend Buckeye Entertainment!!

Our DJ Alex D. was awesome! Everyone at the wedding had so much fun with the songs he played using the buckeye entertainment mix. He made sure that everything was perfect for us and that all our requests were met. He always responded quickly to all emails and was so helpful with all questions. I recommend Buckeye Entertainment to everyone who wants to have the ability to plan their playlist with their DJ or even if they are clueless on what songs to choose, they will help with everything!

DJ Mike from Buckeye entertainment was amazing! He was always quick to answer questions! On the day of the wedding I knew we had nothing to worry about!

My wife and I for sure could not have had the wedding of the century without Buckeye and especially Jazmyn! Jazmyn knew when to slow things down and speed things right back up! Meeting with Jazmyn was such an easy process as well and the attention to detail of song choices and even playing them at just the right moment to keep people guessing! Our guests still tell us how great the DJ was and their professionalism! From the ceremony music to the reception music, Buckeye and Jazmyn did a fantastic job!

Buckeye Entertainment knew the venue well, had a good planning process and were flexible day of as event flow dictated. Professional experience all around

DJ Wade was an amazing person to have has part of our wedding vendor team! Not only was he great at communicating, but with his experience, he was able to help guide our wedding day in way that we wouldn't miss any of the events that we wanted! He was very professional, kind, and easy to work with! We absolutely loved having Wade as part of our wedding day and working with Buckeye Entertainment throughout the entire planning process!!

We used Buckeye Entertainment for our wedding and had DJ Mike Kannal, he was absolutely incredible! The initial meeting we had after choosing Buckeye Entertainment was extremely helpful. We were able to sit down and talk through everything we wanted for the wedding day. Mike was extremely friendly and helpful during the whole process. They day of the wedding Mike helped things run very smoothly, checking in with my husband and I on our timeline, offering to grab us drinks, anything we needed! He kept the dance floor going all night! We also had the Photo Booth package and the guests loved it! Each guest got a copy of the photo as well as us to be able to see all the fun our guests were having. I would highly recommend Buckeye Entertainment for your wedding reception!

James went above and beyond for our wedding. Even when our son decided to give a last minute speech and when I (the bride) made last minute changes to the timeline. Not to mention, the dance floor was a blast!

Alex Durr was incredible! He made our wedding night memorable and kept the party going! Also, he helped mic up our officiant before our ceremony. I highly recommend him if you have any events that need a DJ!

Could not be happier with our experience with Buckeye Entertainment! We worked with DJ Tony and he was amazing. He was really attentive to what we wanted and was great at keeping up the dance floor and energy in the room. We got so many compliments from our guests on how great our DJ was!! Would definitely recommend!

Our DJ Mike Kannal did an amazing job at our wedding ceremony and reception! We had a meeting before to ensure song selections and coordinate the timing of the music and schedules throughout the night. He was extremely professional and fun, kept the night moving along, and ensured the dance floor was always packed! Could not recommend a better DJ.

We had a great experience with Tony from Buckeye Entertainment! From our first meeting to the wedding day, Tony was very professional and clearly had a lot of experience doing weddings. He played all of our selections throughout the day, and offered suggestions if we were unsure of what kind of music to select. Something I didn’t know before wedding planning is how crucial a DJ is for keeping everything running on schedule, and Tony did it with ease! Above all else, Tony made sure we had a full dance floor throughout the night! We ended up choosing a lot of different music from different decades/genres, but he made sure everything flowed smoothly. I was worried about picking the right dance music, but Tony’s experience really helped, as he chose a lot of crowd-pleasers to mix in with our requested songs. Seriously cannot recommend Buckeye Entertainment enough!

Buckeye Entertainment was fantastic to work with. Mike was the DJ for our wedding and was nothing short of wonderful. We had so many compliments on the music from our guests.

Buckeye Entertainment and Alex Durr, DJ extraordinaire, were absolutely wonderful to work with! Alex was personable, thorough and flexible in our planning. On the day of our wedding, he was reliable and communicative, checking in with us to make sure the night running smoothly. He did a phenomenal job of keeping the timeline on track and — of course — he kept the dance floor jumping. Would absolutely work with this group again!

We worked with Tony though Buckeye Entertainment My wife and I are very detail oriented, and Tony was able to match our energy flawlessly. Tony was super flexible in changing some dance songs up so my wife and I could dance later in the evening since we didn't get to the dance floor early on. He was the best and your should definitely hire him.

It’s easy to see why Buckeye Entertainment is rated so highly. They know how to make your wedding a fantastic time and they have it down to a science. Planning was easy, they are excellent communicators, and helped make our ceremony and reception seamless. As easy as they made the planning we were still undecided on several song choices going into the week of the wedding and they still worked with us during a very busy week to make sure everything was planned how we wanted. The day of our wedding, their DJ Alex Durr absolutely killed it! Planning with Alex was so easy he understood what music we generally liked without us having to specify much at all. He got to know us, had some of their mixes playing during planning to gauge what we gravitated toward and he took it from there. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. Alex worked so well with our other vendors as well, making sure the ceremony and speeches were captured beautifully. We also got the Social Photo Booth setup from Buckeye. We got so many comments about how much fun everyone was having and how genuinely nice and helpful Alex and our Photo Booth attendant were throughout the night. The booth attendant was so patient with guests making sure they got as many printed copies as they liked, he even printed out a copy of every photo strip taken throughout the night for us. Such a nice touch to have those! And the quality is great. Our wedding was an absolute dream and the both of them were a huge part of that. If you’re planning a wedding, do yourself a favor and lock in Buckeye Entertainment right away. It’ll be the easiest decision you make.

We had Alex as our DJ and our guests could not stop singing his praises. I had many guests (of several different generations) come up to tell me how great the playlist was, several people mentioned how nice he was, and one group of friends even had a conversation about how good his voice was. He was so easy to work with, and accommodated a specific edit request for our first dance song. We consider ourselves lucky to have gotten Alex as our DJ and would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Our DJ Alex hit it out of the park. Their website is helpful in planning and we were able to give them a number of songs to play, they took that and Alex had everyone on the dance floor at one point or another. I’d certainly choose Buckeye Entertainment and DJ Alex again given the opportunity. A great value that we tied in with live music for our event.

Everything was excellent! The whole process from the first meeting until the end of the reception was great. We received so many compliments. Thanks DJ Mike!

Mike Kannal from Buckeye Entertainment was the perfect choice for our wedding DJ. He is very professional and his calm vibes helped the process feel smooth, and even fun. Not only was the music great, but he also went above and beyond by coordinating with our other vendors and helping with our wedding timeline, alleviating so much stress for us on a hectic day. On top of everything else, the price was very fair compared to other DJ companies we considered. We can't recommend Buckeye Entertainment highly enough!
