Out of town bride planning a wedding in Columbus

Carrie H

So I think I have a photographer but I am on a tight budget and need a good DJ, some chair covers, and place to get flowers wholesale.  Any recommendations?

I would check out places like Costco and Sam's for wholesale flowers. I would be more than happy to recommend my DJ (his review is in my bio). We did not do chair covers, but I would check out the Wedding Classifieds board as well as ebay.com. I have heard of some ladies getting some good deals on ebay b/c chair covers and linens can be kinda pricey.

Try Blooms Direct in Grandview, you can go in to the back in to their walk-in cooler and buy flowers wholesale. You can also pay them to arrange the flowers for you if you want.  http://www.bloomsdirect.com/

We're using Connie Duglin for chair covers.  A few people in the business recommended them to me.  It is a chain out of Florida, so they may have a showroom in your town so you can look at the stuff in person.  

I read in a local bride magazine, and I think I saw a little sign at the store at the store that Flower's on Orchard Lane sells wholesale flowers.  I don't know how cheap they would come to, but it is a store here in town that has an excellent reputation for wedding flowers.

I don't know if my DJ will be very good or not but they seemed like a pretty professional company (they do lighting, dj, photo booth, video and photo) and had really good prices compared to the other we talked to and were recommended by a girl that used them for everything.  They are called Nyte Flyte but use this URL:  www.reflectionsphoto.net/entertainment.htm  It's weird though because we won't know who our DJ and MC's are until a month before the wedding.  That makes me nervous.  They have some good bundling options-we're considering the photo booth; it's maybe the cheapest in the city.  Just not sure if it will go with the vibe of our wedding.  I wasn't impressed with their photography or videography skills so we're not using them for that.  If you call them, ask if they'll give you the bridal show discount too.  Good luck.

We used Mega Beat DJs.  I LOVED working with Chris.  Because our wedding was off-season (in March) he also threw in a free photobooth session for us which turned out to be the highlight of the wedding!!

Try TEAM DJ as well.  I know the family -- they do a great job and have awesome pricing.  I am using them for my wedding this summer, feel free to tell them Tara referred you.
