DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Carrollton, IL

I got into DJing by accident. After learning that working as an Industrial Engineer in a fortune 500 company didn't bring me much fulfillment, a friend suggested I join his DJ company. His company supplied DJ services for over 200 weddings a year! After my first wedding gig I was hooked. It gave me purpose, and an outlet I never knew was possible. I quickly became the most requested DJ in the company and within my market. Now I DJ on my own, and I'm so blessed to be able to curate an atmosphere of joy where families can connect.

Awarded Best of Zola
I booked Obie for my wedding on April 7. I knew there were multiple moving parts to making a wedding successful. However, I did not realize the magnitude of having a great DJ and MC until I had DJ Obie for both. I was incredibly impressed on how professional he was from the very beginning. From my past experience, many DJs were happy to be picked and paid for a job. DJ Obie was different. He not only appreciated taking on the job, but he strived to ensure that the wedding would be a moment to remember, and without a doubt, he accomplished that. During the wedding and days after, I continually heard my (and my wife’s friends) say that DJ Obie did an incredible job. Without a doubt, it’s the best job that I experienced and I look forward to working with you again. Thank you so much for making this a moment to remember.

The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band.

Olivia played the harp at our wedding 9/1/2024 and did a wonderful job. It was the perfect added piece to our ceremony. She played before (while our guests and bridal party were getting seated/lining up), during (when my dad and I walked down), and after (when our guests exited) the ceremony and the music was just beautiful and peaceful. I met with her a few weeks prior to pick out the music we wanted and she had a lot of different songs/varieties to choose from. She was very responsive and showed up on time (which meant a lot being a bride). We couldn’t have asked for better music to be played for our wedding and our guests loved it/her too. We highly recommend her as a harpist for your wedding.
