Planning a wedding in Columbus, Ohio? You’re in luck! This city is full of vibrant culture, Buckeye pride, and unique traditions that can make your big day truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you’re a lifelong Columbus resident or just love the city’s energy, there are plenty of ways to bring local flavor into your celebration. And of course, no unforgettable wedding is complete without an epic dance floor—so be sure to book Party Pleasers Services as your DJ to keep the party going!

1. Check the Ohio State Football Schedule (Seriously, Do It!)

We cannot stress this enough—DO NOT plan your wedding on a big Ohio State football game day unless you want guests watching the game on their phones instead of watching you say “I do.” If you think we’re exaggerating, just imagine this: you’re halfway through your heartfelt vows, and suddenly, a loud cheer erupts from the back row because the Buckeyes just scored a touchdown.

To avoid this, check the OSU football schedule before setting your date. If you’re both Buckeye fans, you could even lean into it and have a tailgate-themed cocktail hour! But if you actually want your guests to pay attention to you (and not the game), it’s best to choose a weekend when Columbus isn’t in full football frenzy.

2. Choose a Columbus-Inspired Wedding Venue

Columbus offers some stunning wedding venues that showcase the city’s charm. If you love historic architechture look at The Westin Great Southern Columbus or The Ivory Room, which provide breathtaking skyline views. If you’re into a more industrial-chic vibe, spots like Vue Columbus or High Line Car House offer modern elegance with a local twist.

3. Feature Local Food & Drinks

Give your guests a true taste of Columbus by incorporating locally inspired catering. Serve up favorites like:

Jeni’s Splendid Ice Creams for a unique dessert option (who wouldn’t love a scoop of Brambleberry Crisp at the reception?)

Buckeye candies as wedding favors (because chocolate and peanut butter is the best combo ever)

Local craft beers from Columbus Brewing Company or Seventh Son Brewing

A signature cocktail featuring Watershed Distillery spirits

4. Celebrate with Columbus Music & Entertainment

The music at your wedding should be just as iconic as the city itself! That’s why Party Pleasers Services is the perfect choice for your wedding DJ. We know how to blend crowd-pleasing hits with local favorites to keep your dance floor packed all night long. Plus, we can even mix in some Buckeye tunes if you want an “O-H-I-O” chant to break out during the reception!

5. Incorporate Columbus Sports & Traditions

If you and your partner are sports fans, add a nod to Columbus Crew soccer or Blue Jackets hockey in your wedding decor or favors. You can even have a fun “game-time” moment where guests get to pick Team Bride or Team Groom for a friendly competition.

6. Use Columbus Landmarks in Your Wedding Photos

For wedding photos with serious local flair, consider backdrops like:

The Scioto Mile for stunning riverfront views

The Short North Arts District for vibrant, artistic shots

The Ohio Statehouse for a touch of timeless elegance
