Truthfully I didn’t know where to start when looking for a DJ. It was confusing, but the second I came across DJ Mike I knew I made the right decision. He makes sure he does absolutely everything that you want/need. He couldn’t have been better...
!!!! It was important for us to have not only good/fun music to get people out on the dance floor (which he absolutely did), but also a great MC to let people know when things were going on and he couldn’t have been better. He truly is 100000/10!!! He is not only an amazing DJ, but wonderful person!! He made a very stressful seeming thing so fun and easy and I truly can’t say enough good things about him!!! Mike, you are AMAZING!!!! If you’re looking for the best DJ, you found him!!! Thank you for everything ❤️
We had a GREAT experience with Luminary Productions. Our DJ, Mike, was so amazing! We said we wanted a fun reception and he made sure that’s exactly what we got! All of our guests loved the music he played. We heard all night ‘your DJ is SO goo...
d!’
The moment I had my initial consultation meeting with Loren was the moment I knew that we needed to hire him as our DJ. I cannot recommend his services enough to make your day truly spectacular!!! I could go on and on with all the ways he made ...
our day amazing, but there were a few ways that Loren just blew us away! He made the dance experience SO FUN, people would not leave the dance floor (including myself)!! He also handled all of the transitions throughout the day seamlessly, nothing felt rushed or unnatural. He also had state of the art equipment - no ear-piercing blow outs, no technical difficulties, no problems! I recommend Luminary Productions with my whole heart!

My wife and I hired Loren at Luminary Productions to DJ our wedding and reception. We met with Loren twice before the wedding. Once to get to know each other and discuss specifics, and again a few weeks prior to the wedding to finalize song ch...
oices. We ended up choosing specific songs for the ceremony but pretty much let Loren do his thing during the reception. He did an excellent job as we received many compliments on the music from our guests. Our guests may have been particularly joyful, but the dance floor was never empty. We also purchased the photo booth and up-lighting options as part of the service package. I would definitely recommend the photo booth as guests tend to have a lot of fun with it and you get additional photos. The up-lighting helped to create a nice ambiance during the reception. Overall, I would highly recommend Luminary Productions for your event! Cheers!

Thank You, it was a great night!
We saw Loren keep the dance floor HYPE for my brother's wedding a year before ours and knew we had to hire him. He did a great job of listening to what we wanted out of our night and checking in with the guests to see what they wanted to dance ...

I love working in Florida! 😉
Thank you so much Loren for bringing the party to our wedding day! Loren was such a professional and calming presence during the wedding process. He was the first vendor to help craft our timeline and was so easy to work with. He did it all; th...

Thank you for the kind words. -Loren
Three cheers for Loren from Luminary Productions. An absolutely fine job for us. We had a wonderful 30th Wedding Anniversary cele;brationJu in part to Luminary Productions' professional work. We took advantage of the Jazz Saxophonist, the P...

That was a party!!
If you are looking for a DJ, look no further than Loren. He is so organized, personable and timely plus all of the other vendors love working with him. He was receptive to feedback throughout and did a great job reading the mood of the night. W...
ould also highly recommend the photo booth and indoor fireworks as add ons - the guests loved the booth (and we loved looking at the pics the next morning) and the fireworks looked great in our preview photos.

An Epic Day (and night)!
When we were starting to plan our wedding, we both agreed that a fun dance floor was our top priority. We hired Nick with Luminary Productions, and it was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process. From beginning to end h...
e was amazing to work with. Super nice, fun and easy to collab with, and he immediately picked up on the type of dance floor/music we wanted. When it came to showtime, he absolutely CRUSHED the entire day. The vibes were on point throughout the night, and no one ever left the dance floor. Now a few weeks post wedding, people are still commenting to us on how much fun they had and how awesome our DJ was. 10/10. Wish we could get married again to have him as our DJ again. Thank you so much, Nick!!
DJ Mike was EPIC! Having a fantastic DJ was one of the most important things for us for the wedding, and Mike killed it - he was even better than we hoped and expected. From being the EMCee for night, to the music during the ceremony and dinne...
r, to the music on the dance floor, it was all top notch. During the planning process our few meetings with Mike were very helpful; he gave us honest suggestions about changing things in our timeline to help the flow of the night, without pressuring us to make adjustments. During the wedding, he wasn’t just there playing music, but he was listening and taking things in. Throughout the night he referenced things that were said during the ceremony, and during the toasts, showing this is more than a job, its a passion. And the way he hyped people up was awesome, especially during the bridal party introductions - we had several guests comment how cool and energetic that was. And the dance party couldn’t have been any better; the music was a good blend of what we wanted, as well as his own songs, which was exactly what we were after. We had multiple people comment how good Mike was, including a couple people saying “I’ve never seen a wedding dance party like this before”. That last line basically puts it perfect - best DJ we’ve ever seen and so glad we had Mike at our wedding. 100% will recommend to ANYONE!
We hired Mike from Luminary Productions for our wedding and were SO glad we did. Mike was prepared and professional, asked us the right questions to uncover the exact vibe we were looking for, and he executed everything perfectly. We received s...
o many compliments on the music and about Mike! He truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with everything and he helped us throw the best party. Don’t hesitate to book him!! We can’t recommend him enough.
Loren was fantastic and did an excellent job mixing music and getting everyone out on the dance floor. We had a lot of friends and family comment afterwards on how great the DJ was.
Similar to the other reviews, I cannot say enough GREAT things about Loren and Luminary Productions! Truly, Loren and his team are extraordinary! From the first meeting, I knew he was the perfect DJ for us! He so kindly went through every singl...
e detail. We planned for moments in the wedding, I didn’t even think about! At the wedding, every moment was incredible with the help of Loren!
If you are looking for a wedding or event DJ, definitely pick Loren!
Our post-elopement reception was a few months ago, and our guests are still talking about how great the music was! They had so much fun and attributed it all to Loren. From beginning to end, the planning process was smooth and Loren captured ex...
actly what type of music we liked, across all genres. He read the crowd and kept the party going. I would recommend Loren to everyone!
I cannot put into words how pleased my husband and I were with Loren at Luminary Productions! From the very beginning, Loren was organized, professional, and genuinely committed to going the extra mile for our wedding this past June. Loren took...
the time to meet with us over the phone on several occasions and even have a final meeting to go over last-minute details one-on-one. He valued our input at every step and curated our reception to perfectly match our personalities. The dance floor was never empty and our guests constantly complimented the smooth flow of our reception all thanks to Loren. It was everything we dreamed and more! Thank you so much Loren! - Wendy and Mark Zronek
We hired Luminary Productions for a November 2021 wedding and Loren absolutely delivered on his promises for our big day. The music and party atmosphere was fantastic. He took our pre-event meeting seriously and listened to all of the stuff we ...
wanted to hear - mixing in hip hop, dance, etc with the crowd favorites from the requests coming from the guests.
Our venue was The Columbus Athenaeum and he made sure the volume, number of speakers etc. was right for the room and space. We had friends marry there with audio issues and we wanted to avoid that. The ceremony audio was great and went off without a hitch.
We had people on the dance floor the ENTIRE evening. We had our parents comment about how everyone was dancing the whole time. I can say without a doubt I haven't been to weddings with that level of engagement before.
Without a doubt I would 100 percent recommend Loren to anyone getting married in Central Ohio.
Worth every nickel.
As venue owners, Loren has always been one of our favorite DJ’s. So when our own daughter was getting married, we couldn’t imagine doing it without him. And let me tell you, he did not disappoint! So many of our guests told us how great he w...
as. Loren is professional, upbeat and knows how to make a party even better. A DJ runs your entire reception…. Get a good one! Thanks again for such a memorable evening.
Hiring Loren as the DJ for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! He is so personable and strives to make your special day just as you imagine it. He helped us plan our day of timeline and coordinated with other vendors throughout t...

I truly cannot express how happy we are that we were able to have Loren DJ our wedding. Like- we picked our wedding date around his availability. We picked him after our best friends had them as their DJ for their wedding. (which was the most f...
un we had ever ha until our wedding :).
With Loren, our dance floor was full the entire night. He is able to work a room better than anyone I have ever witnessed. Not only that but during the planning process he was helpful in creating timelines and had a couple check ins to make sure our plans for the ~vibes~ hadn't changed to make sure that his plans/playlists for how the day will run hadn't unknowingly changed.
I have and will continue to recommend him to our friends.
Loren is AMAZING to work with! He was a clear communicator from start to finish. He is a true professional that allows you to relax and not worry. Planning was a breeze! He listens to your requests while tastefully providing suggestions. Our da...
y ran so smoothly and our guests even complimented his professionalism and variety of music! 10/10 recommend!!
Loren is awesome! He met with us prior to understand our musical style, nailed every portion of the songs for cocktail hour, ceremony, and reception. Incredibly happy he was with us on our big day.
Loren is THE BEST! He was so great to work with as my husband and I were planning our wedding. I didn't realize so much thought went into picking music for our big day and Loren helped us. At the wedding we was amazing! He played great music th...

Thanks Ellie, it was an amazing night, so good to see 2 different cultures come together for 1 love!
Loren was AMAZING!
From beginning to end, we knew exactly what to expect. We were able to have a handful of meetings to discuss music tastes, general “vibe” and specifics needs for the wedding. Loren made the process of “having fun”… well… SU...
PER FUN!
I am incredibly grateful that we had Loren on our day because he was literally the perfect emcee. He provided the music for our ceremony and reception. He was effortless with the guests, helped to keep everything running smoothly (which was a God send) and kept everyone engaged during everything. He had a tough job but he is INCREDIBLY TALENTED.
He also knew exactly what songs people would want to dance to- it was so fun!
If you’re on the fence about hiring a DJ, get off of it. Because you need to hire these folks to help keep your wedding running smoothly and enjoyably. Thank you, Loren!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2021
Thanks Sarah!
Loren (Luminary Productions) was phenomenal and we cannot recommend him enough!! He is extremely professional, detail-oriented, and knows how to run an event.
We had three meetings with Loren and in each one he was prepared and respected our t...
ime. He asked thoughtful questions to get to know us and clearly outlined the exact information he needed from us.
On our wedding day, Loren went above-and-beyond and was truly a professional. One example of this was before the ceremony when he spotted my husband looking around for water for the wedding party. Loren stopped his setup process to help him and make sure we had everything we needed.
Loren was responsible for the music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. His equipment is top-notch and sounded great throughout. He helped everyone get set up and comfortable with mics, and everything went smoothly. Loren really knows how to "read the room". While an event timeline is important, it's just as important to be flexible. During cocktail hour, everyone was enjoying the beautiful weather outside on the patio. Loren saw this and adjusted the order of events so that our Best Man and Maid of Honor speeches could be outside before the rest of the indoor activities. The night flowed perfectly.
Loren played the BEST music and kept everyone dancing the entire night. We had guests come to us during and after to say it was "the best dance part they have ever been to"!
Do yourself a favor and hire Loren for your special day!
Response from the Vendor on 09/14/2021
Humbled by such kind words, it was a wonderful day!
Loren was on it day one when we hired him for our day. He made sure all bases were covered! Made everything very special, on time, and definitely go all in for the extras, especially the fireworks! Thank you Loren!
Response from the Vendor on 10/25/2021
Jenny, it was so good to see you out on the dance floor with the biggest smile in the room!
Loren was just the DJ we needed for our summer wedding! He was very professional, played all the songs we wanted, and was very adaptable to all of our circumstances. He was great and easy to work with! Highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 09/01/2021
It was great seeing you guys smile all night long!
Loren was PERFECT. 10 out of 5 stars. He is professional, friendly, detail orientated and knows how to read the room. Our pre-ceremony, ceremony, dinner and reception went great with him as the DJ and MC. He made the whole process before the we...
dding super easy and stress-free. He takes care of details such as working with the other vendors before and day of so you can enjoy every moment. Our dance floor was filled the ENTIRE night. Something we really valued was his ability to pick up on what kind of crowd was there, and play music that made everyone happy. His AV equipment was professional and sounded amazing. He also set up a camera and live stream video so my husband's family could tune into the ceremony from Australia. He was worth every single penny and I would HIGHLY suggest hiring him for your wedding or event.
Response from the Vendor on 09/01/2021
Such a great night!!
Loren was amazing. That's it. There were no sound issues, ever, he was prompt for everything, an A1 quality DJ. I like how he even met up with us before the wedding to talk things through. I even switched things up at the last minute and he was...
great adjusting to exactly what I wanted as the bride. Best thing is he rolled with us through the pandemic and didn't just drop us as clients due to the uncertainty of everything in the beginning. He's super friendly, mixes songs very well, that was our favorite part. Though my wedding was small the pictures of people singing and dancing were hilarious. They were really into the music. Thank you so much Loren. <3

Loren has now done my wedding and my sisters wedding and both were one for the books all thanks to Loren and his skills and organization. Working with Loren made the wedding stress minimal and I had full faith and trust in him it would go off ...
without a hitch. From The day of photo on his DJ booth, the ceremony music, the indoor fireworks, the music, and his awesome personality it was everything we could have wanted and more. Would HIGHLY recommend hiring him for any event you have, you won’t regret it.

Your family def knows how to party! I was happy to facilitate.
Loren was an amazing DJ on our wedding day! He was was attentive to what we and our guests were looking for! He was organized, professional and had a friendly and energetic presence at the reception! Highly recommended!
Response from the Vendor on 07/06/2021
What a beautiful night under the stars!
If I could give Loren more than five stars, I would! We hired him way back in 2019, and he stuck it through with us through a postponement all the way until our April 2021 wedding. His DJ services were WELL worth the wait. We had a pretty small...
wedding (~60 people), but Loren made sure everyone was up and dancing the night away.
Loren is so personable, accommodating, and easy to work with. He was an amazing MC, and our reception flowed perfectly because of his attention to detail. Every single song he played was a banger. He also took my several in-the-moment bride requests like a champ. I HIGHLY recommend Loren to anyone looking for an upbeat yet classy wedding in the Columbus area - if I could do it all over again, I wouldn't change a thing!

You just made my month, sooo happy to hear that! The Highline Car House never looked better! -Loren
Luminary Productions is talented, experienced and professional! We have had Loren as a part of our client's Vendor Team and we're looking forward to him elevating weddings this year and beyond!
Loren is simply the best. He is fun, kind and will make your day what you want it to be. He was our DJ for our wedding in summer of 2020. It was such a difficult time for my husband and I planning wise due to Covid, but Loren was with us 110% o...
f the way. He made everything so much easier, and less stressful. Communication was always open and he would do whatever we wanted and needed. We ended up changing locations and instead of backing out, Loren helped us with the planning when that change happened. He came out to our location (our backyard) and helped with the complete set up! It was perfect. Without Loren, our day would not have been what it was. It was really something out of a dream! Did I mention he kept the dance floor going the whole time? We even had a pretty picky, young crowd. I was sad to see end the night, but that meant that my dreams turned into reality. The only thing I wanted was everyone to enjoy themselves, and they did. My vision came to life with Loren's music and management! Oh yeah and we gave him our first dance song the day of!! I am sure he doesn't recommend being that last minute but he made it happen and never said a word about it ;) Thank you Loren for everything you did for us during our special day, and even the planning towards that day. Book him!!

Thanks Darian, you turned a difficult situation into a beautiful backyard wedding that was even better than using your planned venue!
Loren was our wedding DJ and he was everything we were looking for! He took the time to really get to know my fiancé and I, which resulted in him selecting the perfect songs to play. Loren was not only thoughtful but also professional, funny, a...
nd helped us schedule part of the ceremony and reception timelines. There was a particular build up/crescendo in the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to. Loren was able to make sure that exact crescendo played right when I turned the corner of the aisle for my groom to see me. SUCH a magical moment that still gets me teary-eyed thinking about it; all worth the help of Loren’s great DJ skills. I 100% recommended Loren and his company for your DJ needs.

The actual event was off the charts. Fantastic music, amazing lights, a TV screen at the DJ booth with a piped in Times Square Countdown, and a photo booth complete with print outs for guests to remember the night.

Loved ringing in the New Year with you and Jeff! Congrats!!
Loren killed it at our wedding! I appreciated the careful planning meetings where he got to know me and my husband-- what we like, and how we envisioned our evening-- then used that insight to help us select music for each part of our event. Lo...
ren knew our venue (Columbus Museum of Art) and had no problem setting up multiple DJ booths to accommodate our cocktail hour and reception in two different areas of the museum. There were some delays with catering that threw off the timeline of our reception, but Loren rolled with the punches, and did everything he could to keep things moving knowing the dance party was especially important to us. Our dance floor was rocking until the end of the night, and a year later our friends still rave about what an awesome party we had. Thank you, Loren!

If you are looking for a CLASS ACT DJ, look no further than Loren Miller! As a wedding planner, I am lucky enough to have worked alongside Loren several times. He always brings professionalism, energy, and an incredible knowledge of the industr...
y to all of his clients and their events. As a vendor, he is extremely kind and enthusiastic to collaborate with, and always aims to support all the vendors involved with the event. I am in awe of the level of attention to detail he brings to each of his clients' events to make sure the vision for their day exceeds their expectations. Loren offers several cutting edge elements and services that your typical DJ might not even know about to help make your event a special day that your guests will never forget. He is respectful of all your song requests while balancing the requests and questions of the guests attending your event. I always encourage my clients to be very selective about their DJ because they will help steer the energy for your party on the most important day of your life. Loren always does a phenomenal job of "reading the room" to keep dance floors packed all.night.long. and as a DJ, he is the perfect balance of fun and engaging without being cheesy. Without a doubt-choosing Loren as your DJ will be one of the best decisions you make while planning your wedding!
