We got a package with the DJ and photographer, and it was great! They work together so well and my husband and I didn't have to worry about anything all night.
Tim on behalf of Music Express went above and beyond. He was the DJ for our reception as well as the ceremony. The online playlist feature and and planning form is really great. You can pick do play and do not play songs at your leisure and the planning form really helped me figure out the timeline for the evening. Tim held my plate as I went through the buffet line so I wouldn't get food on my dress, and held my grandfather's plate as well. Tim did a wonderful job directing the evening and keeping things on track. We couldn't have been happier and we will definitely be recommending Music Express and Tim to our friends!
New Image Studios is wonderful. We purchased a package that got us an engagement photo shoot as well as a photographer for our wedding. Troy was our photographer and he did an amazing job. He met with me on his own time at the wedding location so that he could get the scope out the venue and check the lighting, which was great. We also got an unexpected surprise from Steve and received two photographers for our wedding day! Lynn came to my hotel before the wedding and took pictures of my dress, accessories, and my bridesmaids and me getting ready. It was so unexpected and wonderful. Both Troy and Lynn did a great job- the pictures look so absolutely amazing and we can't wait to get our wedding book! Steve did a spectacular job on editing the pictures and putting together our engagement book.

Music Express was wonderful! TJ was very attentive, making sure things were running smoothly, and he kept the party going all night! Several guests have told me how much fun they had dancing the night away! TJ was very flexible as well, and agreed to stay an extra hour (we didn't want the party to end!) I really liked the online planning form. We were planning an Ohio wedding while living in Maryland, so the website made things much easier. I would certainly recommend Music Express to Columbus area brides!

" The absolute best photography! We had our engagement and our Wedding done by Steve and every time I look at our pictures I get teary eyed at every little detail that was captured in all of our pictures... The quality of the pictures is amazing, sooo easy to get in touch with very professional. The pricing is very affordable and worth every penny! Choosing photos is tough because they all are unbelievable! We are more than happy with everything! We had a very tight schedule after our ceremony and went to Ohio State to the Stadium and to another location to a park recommended by Steve and the time we spent at each location was minimal and the amount of shots he captured within the time frame we had were incredible!!! Time management is one of the things I love about them, they are very quick and they want to give you, your wedding party and your guest the best experience. I would highly recommend both the photography and the DJ.
Rob ( the DJ ) does an outstanding job. OUr wedding was 3 weeks ago and our guest are still talking about what a fun wedding reception we had and that our DJ is one of the best that they have experienced out of all the weddings our guest have been to sooo far...
Thank you Steve and Rob for making our Wedding day the best that we could have imagined!

What a fantastic company. Steve was a great photographer, and was very polite to the older guests who had a little trouble with some of the outdoor photos. I feel like he really went out of his way to make myself and the guests comfortable, truly did more than I expected. Tim was our DJ and man was that party Rockin'! He knew what to play and when. He did a great job feeling out the crowd. I truly had an absolute blast! This was the greatest day of my life, and thanks to these two it ran smoothly so I could be worry free on my big day. Highly recommended!

Music Express was an awesome DJ service. They checked with me throughout the wedding to make sure that everything was going ok and flowing well. They played our first dance for the last song which was an amazing surprise. We also had their brand new photo booth. It kept our guests entertained during dinner and throughout the wedding. Our friends and family are still raving about it.

Our Photographer was incredible. He kept us on schedule all day, kept everyone smiling with his jokes, and personable personality. Our pictures we amazing, we had an online planning tool we were able to use to be sure he shot pictures we were excited to have and he brought another photographer with him the day of the wedding to shoot all the guests and pictures one would have missed! We would reccommend this photographer for any wedding or special event! We will continue to use him for our children or family pictues!!

We were so impressed by the photos we received from our engagement and wedding!! Steve at New Image was extremely friendly and easy to work with, he made us feel comfortable every step of the way. His multiple photo poses and changes in angles and scenery made them even more unique and modern. And the value for the high quality work was excellent. We now have images we will treasure forever and we would definitely recommend New Image to our friends.

My husband and I are so happy that we chose New Image Studios for both the photography and DJ at our wedding. We loved working with our photographer, Steve. He was very professional and had a lot of great ideas for photos. When working with him, it was obvious that he had the experience to know how to keep things moving when taking pictures and still get perfect photos (this was especially important when we took photos outside since my husband and I got married end of November). At the reception, Steve was always in the right place at the right time to take the pictures we wanted. We truly LOVE all of our wedding photos and are very pleased by the exceptional quality we received. Definitely consider New Image Studios.
My husband and I were sold on Music Express when we met with our DJ and he said "this is a wedding, not a club. We don't use fog machines or strobe lights and we're not going to blast out grandma". For our wedding, my husband and I couldn't have been happier with our DJ. At our reception, he played all of the music we wanted to hear and played the right music at the right time. He started with the classic wedding songs at the beginning and then "turned it up" later in the evening once all of the older people had left. We could have kept our wedding reception going until 2:00 AM because people were having such a good time dancing. He was also very professional and NOT annoying. We could tell he had the experience to know when to interact with the guests and when to just keep playing the music. Our reception ran very smoothly because of our photographer and DJ.

The DJ that we had through them was named Jeff Barstow. we used music express because they had a service that allowed you to search and sample music online and fill in playlists, likes,dislikes. this way when you went to meet your dJ 10 days before the wedding he already knew what music you were interested in

Music Express was a great choice for our DJ. They also provided the sound system for the ceremony and background music for the cocktail hour. (Three separate areas.) Their planning forms were easy to use and make sure nothing is missed. The DJ was great and did everything we requested and made sure anything he could do to make us happy was done.

I am so happy that I decided to get the DJ and photograher together. It made my wedding go so much smoother. The DJ and photograher had a plan together and kept everyone in the right place at the right time. It took pressure off of me. My pictures turned out beautiful, engagement and wedding. I get so many compliments on them. I could not have asked for anything more, my wedding book is amazing and was worth every penny I spent. I would recommend them to anyone. They answered all my questions in a timely manner, and was understanding with my busy schedule. Not only was i get married, but graduating and in other weddings. I have to say my pictures are the best I have ever seen.

Music express and new image studios was one of the reasons our wedding ran as smoothly as it did. It is honestly like having two day-of-coordinators (DJ and photographer) working with you to make your wedding as
successful as possible. Your guests feed off your energy and the best part of those two working your day is you are stress free. So since you have so much fun, your guests have a blast!
Steve was our photographer. It was awesome how he worked so fluidly with Tim during the reception. The first look option was priceless and
an awesome experience. Our photos came back speaking volumes of the fun we had with our bridal party and our guests. And Steve always seemed to catch us in our best light. He even reaccomplished some
pictures because we had extra time and he didn't think his first ones were good enough.
We get the rights to our pictures when all is said and done to make whatever copies we want in the future.
Steve made sure to check with us to see if there was anyone we definitely wanted a picture with before he left. It was so easy to work with him and the pictures were done so fast, we again could participate in what we valued most - spending time with our guests no matter how far they'd traveled to get there or how long it had been since we'd seen them.
We used their DJ service as well.
Pros: Tim was our dj. But all djs do the same thing for you.
He carries your plate so there is no way to get food on your dress.
The dj listens to what the couple wants to hear. For example, we did not want rascal flatts played. Someone requested them and the dj said
no. Someone asked if they could karaoke. He again said no.
The dj completely caters to your needs. He gets a feel for what you're like as a couple and what you say you're looking for from him and it comes out marvelous. I chose them from seeing them in action at a friend's wedding and they did the same thing.
Our dj was involved telling us where to be and the only announcements he gave were ones that were approved through us.
We asked for country music, but near the end of the night, people stopped dancing. He got the floor jamming again with a ton of people by switching the playlist up to pop, but not before asking us first.
We didn't expect that special treatment or them to ask our approval first on anything, but that's how they work. You can even specify someone he can talk to instead of you so you have more time to talk to
your guests.
Because of them, we had time to eat the food, enjoy the cake, and enjoy every single person there.
Cons: the cost threw me off at first, but now that its over and I know what all they do, I would have paid them more than what they charged.
As it was, we loved what Tim did so much, we tipped him more at the end of the night.
If you're having second thoughts about the dollar dance, we got hundreds of dollars from it we didn't expect. The bridal party dance
completely kicked the night off because the bridal party goes out and grabs guests to dance and it may be your only chance of the night to grab your shy cousin who wouldn't otherwise be out on the floor and they leave having a blast. I say all that because those are things we added last minute at the reception...thinking we didn't want them.

New Image did an excellent job. Our engagement photos were taken at OSU stadium and was a lot of fun. The photographer had some great ideas for shots but was flexible to take shots that we thought of too. The day of the wedding they were on time and professional throughout. We had both video and photos done and they worked seamlessly together. Our wedding video turned out fantastic! Our wedding photos are awesome too! They worked with us in editing the photos that we chose for our book and put the whole book online so we could see how it would flow before printing. I can't wait for it to get back from the printers!

Amazing quality! I loved working with Steve and his entire team! They were always right where we needed them to be, and the best part was so many people complimented on him not "GETTING IN THE WAY". Steve was always in the right place at the right time. Thanks for making our memories perfect!
