Jazmyn was the best

Jazmyn from Buckeye Entertainment was absolutely amazing. I didn’t have to worry about anything with them. They had our timeline down, song choices were great, and even checked on my husband and I multiple times throughout the night. They were super nice and even lent me a fan, so we could keep the party going. Their experience was shown through their work and I couldn’t recommend Jazmyn enough. Go with Buckeye for a budget-friendly, but amazing quality DJ.

Warm, Professional, Communicative - Jazmyn is THAT DJ!!

Buckeye Entertainment is the BEST! DJ Jazmyn was assigned to our May 2026 wedding and I can't imagine working with anyone else. She was professional, fun, thoughtful, and genuinely excited to help us celebrate our big day. She made sure every moment felt intentional and joyful, and our guests knew what to expect at every turn in the program - mind you, we didn't have paper copies of the program. I had no idea we would coordinate so intimately with our DJ but I was glad we did because it made our day seamless and created such amazing energy. We had so many people from different walks of life and she made sure to stay true to our vision while making sure everyone had something to dance to. Buckeye Entertainment is THE entertainment group to book with!! Grateful doesn't cover it!!

Amazing Experience from Start to Finish

Jon Maddy was a fantastic DJ for our wedding. He and everyone at Buckeye Entertainment were incredibly easy to work with and played a huge role in making our wedding day so special. Jon took the time to understand our vision and brought it to life perfectly throughout the entire event. We would strongly recommend both Jon and Buckeye Entertainment to anyone looking for an amazing wedding DJ experience.

Best night ever

Our dj JAMES was absolutely amazing. He helped create the best night of our lives. Communication was phenomenal, he kept everything moving exactly as we wanted. We challenged him to a 4 hour dance floor and he killed it. I would recommend buckeye entertainment and James to everyone!

DJ Jazmyn is the best!

Jazmyn was absolutely AMAZING! From the start, she was fantastic. We were oh so lucky because we knew we wanted to hire a DJ from Buckeye Entertainment and she was the only one available for the weekend of our wedding! Communication was excellent from everybody at Buckeye Entertainment! Our first meeting with Jazmyn was super smooth, she went over everything you could imagine! We talked through if the ceremony was inside or outside, how long we would need her, the type of music we are into, etc. The coolest part to us, was the fact that we could log in to our account and create lists of music that we wanted to be played, whether it was during ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, or reception, it was all loaded into our account. Made it super easy for us because we would think of a song one day and just throw it in there. Anyways.. we had one more final meeting with Jazmyn before the wedding and we are so very thankful with how flexible she was because we are now located in North Carolina, so we couldn’t be in person, and we had to do it over the phone. The meeting was super easy, we talked about the important songs, the timing of them, when to play them, etc.. it was great! Also helped us to know how long our special dances would be and when we would enter for the ceremony. Day of the wedding, Jazmyn came in and said her hellos to us, kind of gave a brief rundown of what was about to happen (for ceremony) and went on to set up her stuff. Music was super smooth for the ceremony, sounded great and was exactly what we talked about. Then again, for introductions, we had the wedding party together, she gave a brief rundown of how it was going to go, and again.. super smooth! The songs for the special dances were exactly as we had discussed, not too long, but also not too short. I think the timing was perfect! The rest of the night was truly amazing! Kept it pretty PG for the beginning of the reception, but then she came over to us and asked if we could start the non PG stuff and I think that’s really when the party started, lol! It was so much fun! We couldn’t be more happy with our decision to use Buckeye Entertainment and we are even more happy that they paired us up with Jazmyn, she was absolutely, hands down, the best. Also.. she made sure we had a private last dance! We are sooo thankful for that!!  100% recommend using Buckeye Entertainment for your DJ needs and 100% recommend asking if Jazmyn can DJ your wedding. You will not be disappointed!!

Amazing Team

We used Buckeye Entertainment for our wedding and what an amazing experience! We had James and he was incredible! He was so easy to work with. He even got our "I don't dance" friends to dance. Our dance floor was packed the whole night. It was such an incredible night and I know James played a huge part in making the day so successful.

A night of spectacular sound

Jazmyn was fantastic as our DJ! She showed up with everything needed to make the night spectacular (sound wise at least)! She had already worked with both our officiant and photographer before as well as the venue we rented for our wedding. As such she was able to help us understand what they needed/wanted for lighting and microphones. This helped us save a little money by not having to worry about everyone being miked up and having extra lighting so our photos looked great! Meetings with her flowed easy and she was willing to work with us to help make the sound of the night as close to perfect as possible! She showed up ready to go and was able to quickly transition between our two locations with no issue! She was also one of the cheaper parts of the wedding, but was the biggest contributor to making sure the night was fun for everyone! I would easily hire her again for any event going forward!
