DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Serena, 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 created a magical and fun environment for every single guest at a NYE wedding that I attended. He did an incredible job of getting the entire room of people excited to be there. His energy is contagious. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their event to the next level!

We were absolutely thrilled with Funk Almighty at our wedding, especially with their incredible rendition of a Taylor Swift song!!! When we mentioned our love for Taylor Swift, the band went above and beyond and created an entire medley of her hits. This wasn’t just another wedding band playing covers, it became a whole show that added their unique funk twist. I can’t begin express how cool it was to watch our request come to life like that!! Daryl and the team's ability to transform our simple request into such an elaborate and memorable piece was incredible. Easily the highlight of the evening. And it was such a personalized touch that made our special day even more unforgettable. Aside from that working with them was a breeze. The rest of the night was great too but I really can’t overstate how much we appreciate them for going above and beyond with our request. That’s true talent and creativity so we can't recommend them enough for their exceptional service and making our wedding one of a kind! *Original review posted on theknot.com https://www.theknot.com/marketplace/funk-almighty-chicago-il-2062080

As I wedding photographer I have had the pleasure of working with Premier Entertainment, run by the dynamic duo Darrin and Cheryl Lee, and I can’t recommend them highly enough!

Whether it’s pumping up the energy during a wedding reception or creating the perfect vibe for a corporate event, he knows how to read the crowd and keep everyone engaged.

What truly sets them apart, though, is their exceptional pre-event timeline creation. It’s far superior to anything I’ve seen, providing a clear roadmap for the event and ensuring that everything unfolds seamlessly.

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.

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.

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.

She never looked back after her first lesson in October 2007.

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.
