DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves De Soto, 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
Being a wedding planner, working with top notch vendors is very important to me. And working with Obie did not disappoint! He is very professional to work with and talk about getting a party started, Obie is your guy. You can't go wrong with Obie emceeing your event!

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.

EST 2015 Owner Brad has aspired to build this business on the love and knowledge of his Uncle’s 30 year wedding business, and add the modern mixing & lighting today’s couples deserve. We don’t view other companies as competition, but rather collaborators to grow with. Every client deserves the right fit for their DJ.

If you are looking for a DJ that is easy to work with, super friendly, and listens to exactly what you want then you need to use Brad! We gave him a list of songs we 100% wanted played (they were all over the place in genre, beat and tempo) and he made them all fit in perfectly! We also gave him songs that we did not want played which were not! Almost everyone at my wedding was on the dance floor because of the fun exciting atmosphere he made! He has multiple different packages you can choose from and you can also add things to your package if you don’t see it on the one you like! The lighting he also has to offer was amazing and made for some cool pictures as well. You can get ahold of him easy whenever you have questions or concerns as well.

Complete peace of mind We have 25 years of giving couples like you unforgettable weddings. We celebrate YOU!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!

She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007. During her many years as a student, Olivia continued to push herself musically by competing in numerous competitions winning the annual Buckeye Christian School Organization’s spring competition for five consecutive years.

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.

50+ 5-star reviews across major event platforms, and brand new to Zola! My name is Ryan Shephard, and I'm an artist from Cincinnati, OH, (Now located in Chicago, IL) with a large repertoire of experience ranging in a wide variety of musical genres and endeavors including working with and sharing the stage with bands and artists like Sublime with Rome, Richie Ramone of The Ramones, and Chance McCoy of Old Crow Medicine Show. I've played 600+ events that include over a hundred weddings, performances for Fortune 500 companies, high-profile politicians, and more! Quality is my expertise! Let me give you a night to remember.

From the moment we booked Ryan Shephard for our wedding, he was incredibly responsive, quick to answer any questions, and made the entire process easy. On the day of the wedding, Ryan was exactly what we had hoped for - he seamlessly executed our special requests beforehand and took requests from our guests all night long. My husband and I had a very specific vision in mind for the music, and Ryan brought it to life perfectly. My guests raved about him. I cannot recommend Ryan Shephard enough - he was truly amazing and played a big part in making our wedding day so special.
