DJ Obie

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Hainesville, 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
We first came across DJ Obie at our very good friends wedding. It didn't take long before I ran behind the DJ booth for his information so he could DJ our wedding a few months later. DJ Obie is the biggest hype man and his energy level is unmatched. He is so easy to work with and very accommodating. He made us feel like we were the biggest event he had planned for the year and that he was just as excited to work with us as we were with him. This is a DJ that truly loves what he does and truly enjoys making other people's visions come to life. Not only did we love him, our wedding guests couldn't get enough of him. He is the perfect balance of energy and intimacy if you are looking for a wedding DJ. Do not look any further because you will miss out.

We recently had our wedding on May 3, 2024, and Jeff from BTSound was our DJ. Jeff was absolutely awesome to work with and really listened to everything we had to say. We had an interview with him beforehand, and it made me instantly want to work with him. As an avid music fanatic and house head, we didn't want just a "wedding DJ"; We wanted a real DJ, and Jeff truly is one. He has the background to back it up.

Bill and John Michael did a great job with music at our ceremony and reception. They answered any question we had and worked with us well on the day of, we had some unexpected circumstances happen and they kept the party along and our guests had no idea things had changed. They are both very personable and kind people, I loved working with them and recommend them to others looking for great DJs. We had a lot of Spanish music played and they did a great job mixing the music and everyone enjoyed it. There wasn’t a moment where people weren’t on the dance floor. They also worked well with other vendors with communication and offered tips and advice to our photographer of what would be the best photos to take.

Jeremy and the New Vintage Strings quartet were incredible. Jeremy facilitated the communication for the quartet, was prompt, thorough, and extremely helpful from start to finish with all aspects. The New Vintage Strings quartet played the ceremony and cocktail hour for our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, and were a massive hit for all who attended. Their resources were user-friendly, and their repertoire was expansive. The New Vintage Strings quartet were also willing to find the sheet music for a song that was not on their list of songs. It was an absolute pleasure to work with New Vintage Strings and relatively cost-friendly given how expensive live music can be, particularly for weddings. I highly recommend having New Vintage Strings play your wedding or event where music may be appropriate. A massive thank you to Jeremy and the rest of the New Vintage Strings quartet for their lovely performance and making our wedding even more spectacular!

We came across Monu and the team while attending another wedding this past year, and at that time we knew we had to have them DJ our wedding! From the initial inquiry till the night of our reception, Monu and Maulin did everything they could to make sure the entire process would be as seamless as possible. Our reception was an unforgettable night for us! The dance floor was lit up the entire night and we honestly could have kept going for a few more hours with Monu playing all the right music. From the white vinyl floor, the 3 LED screens, lighting, the fog machine, and of course, the incredible music, CSE was able to provide us with everything we needed to make this night unforgettable for us.

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

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!!

Brass String Chamber Ensemble 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Hainesville, IL

Paul and Kris met in 1989 while playing in an orchestra in Wheaton, IL. They started the Brass String Chamber Ensemble in 1990 which quickly became very popular throughout Chicago and the suburbs. They have played over 2000 weddings and special events and have thousands of titles in their combined music library. The BSCE enjoys playing for ceremonies but also cocktail hour and during dinner. They are familiar with all traditional church ceremonies and also happy to play in banquet halls, country clubs, hotels, or even at a lovely home celebration. They are based in Naperville but travel throughout Chicago and the suburbs.

The Brass String Chamber Ensemble (BSCE) are an absolute pleasure to work with and we 100% recommend that you hire them to perform at your wedding! The BSCE played our wedding in October 2019 at St. Mary Catholic Church in Mokena, IL. Our decision to hire them was one of the easiest and best decisions we made during the entire wedding planning process! We discovered the BSCE during a wedding showcase and were extremely impressed with their offerings across the board. The setup we saw during the showcase was a very professional one and the music that we heard matched it perfectly. We knew right away that these musicians were true professionals and that they take their craft very seriously. In addition to the classical music you'd expect to hear at a wedding, we also heard them play a lot of pop music during the showcase as well. We thought this was really cool because it shows that they are willing and able to play some more modern hits. Another big factor that influenced our decision to hire the BSCE was how comfortable we felt talking to them about our ideas and what our vision was. Shoutout to Paul and Kris for being so down-to-earth, friendly, and accommodating during the entire process! Once we gave them the contact information for our music director at the church they were able to work directly with her on all of the details. This was great for us because it was one less thing we would have to worry about coordinating ourselves. Fast forward to October 12, 2019, the day of our wedding - the music was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT! The church sounded so full of sound which truly helped to create one of the most memorable and love filled experiences of our lives so far. All of the musicians played in perfect harmony throughout the entire wedding. One especially memorable part of the music during our wedding was the use of the trumpet. To be honest we were kind of on the fence about whether or not we wanted to include the trumpet in the ensemble. However, after going to the BSCE website and listening to their audio excerpts (http://www.thebsce.com/audio.html) we decided that we did want to include the trumpet and we were SO glad that we did! While the organ and strings create an amazing sound all on their own, adding a brass instrument like the trumpet definitely takes it to the next level and makes the music at your wedding especially memorable. My wife and I just celebrated our 1 year wedding anniversary on October 12, 2020 and as is tradition we ate our saved slice of wedding cake and re-watched our wedding video. Let me tell you that hearing the music again during the ceremony instantly brought us both back to that very moment at the altar - we both had chills!

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.

Matt Ammons from Sounds Abound played our wedding on Saturday, June 15th, 2024, in Naperville, Illinois and did an amazing job. Leading up to the event the Sounds Abound team had excellent, user-friendly resources for us to use as we generated songs we felt were “must plays,” songs we “like,” and songs we don’t want played. Sounds Abound has great customer service and have many services that can enhance any wedding. On the day of the wedding, Matt was thorough with his work and did well with all aspects of the wedding. Matt arranged the sound for the ceremony and DJed the reception. His years of experience as a DJ were on full display throughout the night as he consistently played music that catered to the party. The owner of Sounds Abound, Tony Ho, was also communicating to ensure that we had our needs met leading up to the wedding and it was just an excellent experience from start to finish working with Sounds Abound. When evaluating DJs for our wedding we found Sounds Abound to be reasonably priced and looking at the work they did, it was most certainly something we would highly recommend for anyone looking to have a DJ play their wedding. Thank you to Matt and the Sounds Abound team for making our wedding even more spectacular than we could’ve expected! People brought their boogie shoes to the wedding and didn’t stop boogying until the party was over!

Gussied 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Hainesville, IL

Gussied is a full service wedding band that offers ceremony, cocktail, dinner, dancing music, and more. Instead of trying to duplicate a song you've heard on the radio, we "gussy it up" into our own bluegrass inspired own style. We play farms, barns, wineries, swanky lofts, country clubs and everything in between - even summer camps! We also play destination weddings, festivals and private events. No party is too small or too big. We have a professional sound team and various music packages to suit all of your needs.

We hired the duo to play our ceremony. Their modern spin on folk and bluegrass music set the perfect tone for our summery outdoor wedding. They went above and beyond by learning and performing a song I had written for my husband. I highly recommend Gussied!
