DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Castleton, 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
To us, the DJ was a critical part of our wedding reception. We wanted someone that would participate with us and our guests. OBIE was an instant hit! He has the type of personality that fits in with many. Whether it was the older couple who had the most years married or the younger generation... he has a way to connect and entertain. He checked in with us to be sure the "feel" was what we hoped for and was eager to please. We highly recommend Obie!!

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.
