DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Cortland, 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.

DJ Obie is a one of a kind person, there’s seriously no one like him. And the hard work, dedication and intention he puts into every aspect of his job to ensure that the excitement and joy of the night is remembered forever is literally unmatched. I’ve experienced DJ Obie’s work ethic over and over again for years and he has yet to disappoint and I’m sure he won’t ever! Great communicator, fairly priced and he always ensures his clients are happy!

I can’t recommend them enough! Unfortunately I found them after booking my DJ but was able to book them for the Photo Booth and it was a 10/10! I LOVED that they can detach and come on the floor and grab some from guests who may not normally use a booth. Plus the action shots were fantastic. Communication was great, everything was just so perfect. Thank you for being a part of our day!

I can't say enough great things about Funk Almighty! We had Funk Almighty play at our wedding and they were easily the highlight of the night. The energy, song selection, and sheer talent were unbelievable! Daryl, the band manager, is highly communicative and helped tailor music for every aspect of our day; we had an acoustic guitar for our ceremony, a jazz ensemble for cocktail hour, and their 10-person band for the reception. We also used Funk Almighty's MC service for the evening and Jared did a fantastic job ensuring the events stayed on schedule. What sets Funk Almighty apart from other bands is their energy, they had everyone on the dance floor! Our guests raved about the music and I can confidently say they were right, Funk Almighty is the best!

I love to personalize your wedding music to create the exact ambiance you are looking for. Whatever your style, I can promise expressive, meaningful music that will become the soundtrack to the best day of your life. I can play the traditional songs you have been looking forward to all your life, or shake things up by taking your favorite pop or rock song and turning it into a lovely bridal entrance song! I have been married for 10 years and I remember the overwhelm that came with planning a wedding. I am here to help make your wedding music decisions easy and stress free!

Awarded Best of Zola
Veronica played for our wedding ceremony and it was the perfect addition to our day. She is so talented and professional! Not only does she have great selections to choose from but there is an option for her to learn songs of your choosing. This was so important to me because I wanted to surprise my fiance with a song. The only suggestion I have (for couples not Veronica herself!) is having some way to record her playing so you are able to enjoy it as well after. Veronica was so kind to send recordings of two songs after our wedding and I am so grateful to have them. She fulfilled my vision of a classical meets modern wedding ceremony. Highly recommend!

I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. 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. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

We hired Steven for sound and design services for our wedding this past month and - my goodness, there are simply no words to express how amazing our service was. From running onto the dance floor and joining folks in the merriment to snagging me (the Bride) for a spin around the dance floor, Steven's experience, professionalism, fun-loving energy and overall vibe is something I am struggling to articulate without leaving a 12-page review. My father, who isn't impressed often [hence the title of the review], was the first one to rave to me about Steven after the wedding. He was in awe of how smoothly everything went and the energy Steven brought to the dance floor. I truly felt heard and understood by Steven every step of the way and to say he went above and beyond would not do justice to the amazing support he showed us throughout the planning process. I'm already planning a vow renewal to have an excuse to hire Steven again. You will not be disappointed if you choose Steven Carter Events and Entertainment.
