Wedding DJ pricing in Ohio can vary based on services. You can see our current transparent pricing packages directly on the Buckeye Sounds website.

How far in advance should we book our DJ?

The best DJs in Central Ohio often book up 12–18 months in advance, especially for popular Columbus wedding months like May, June, September, and October.

Do you offer different DJ packages or just one flat rate?

Yes! We offer customizable DJ packages for Columbus weddings, ranging from reception-only music to full packages including ceremony sound, cocktail hour, and professional lighting.

Can you mix live, or is it more of a playlist style?

I mix music live to ensure the party flows naturally and the dance floor stays packed without any awkward silences.

Can we give you a 'do not play' list?

Absolutely. We respect your musical preferences and will ensure any songs or genres on your 'do not play' list are excluded from the event.

Will you take song requests from guests?

Only if you want us to. We use professional judgment to ensure guest requests fit your chosen vibe and keep the energy high.

Can you play a specific mix of a song that we want?

Yes, we often handle custom song mixes for first dances. You can provide the MP3 file or a link to the specific version you'd like played.

Is this your full time job or just a weekend side-job?

Being a wedding DJ has been my full-time profession for years. This allows me to dedicate maximum attention to every Columbus wedding I work.

Can we meet with you before booking?

Yes! We can schedule a Zoom meeting or a phone call to discuss your wedding plans before you decide to book.

How much space and electricity do you need at the venue?

We typically require at least one dedicated 20-amp circuit. Our space footprint is flexible but can be as compact as 6 feet deep by 20 feet wide.

Have you worked at our venue before?

If your venue is located in Central Ohio or the greater Columbus area, the answer is likely yes. We have extensive experience with most major event spaces in the region.

Do you provide microphones for speeches?

Yes, we provide high-quality wireless microphones for the officiant, wedding speeches, and toasts to ensure clear audio for all guests.
