DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Shabbona, 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
I booked Obie for my wedding on April 7. I knew there were multiple moving parts to making a wedding successful. However, I did not realize the magnitude of having a great DJ and MC until I had DJ Obie for both. I was incredibly impressed on how professional he was from the very beginning. From my past experience, many DJs were happy to be picked and paid for a job. DJ Obie was different. He not only appreciated taking on the job, but he strived to ensure that the wedding would be a moment to remember, and without a doubt, he accomplished that. During the wedding and days after, I continually heard my (and my wife’s friends) say that DJ Obie did an incredible job. Without a doubt, it’s the best job that I experienced and I look forward to working with you again. Thank you so much for making this a moment to remember.

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.

Anna is an incredibly talented violinist! We hired Anna to play violin during the ceremony at our wedding. We were initially only going to have the DJ play instrumental music during our ceremony, but ended up deciding to have a violinist instead and it was the best decision! We still had the DJ play some piano back tracks, but Anna blew away our guests. One close friend came up to my mom after the ceremony and said "as soon as the violinist touched her bow to the instrument, I had goosebumps from my feet to my head." Don't hesitate to hire Anna! Nothing quite compares to the "live violin" flare :)

Graduate of Xavier University of Louisiana and Tulane University in New Orleans, this former social worker knows a good party.

DJ Chriss was so great to work with for my husband and I's wedding day. We really took our time to create a more modern wedding playlist from ceremony, to cocktail hour, and into reception as we wanted a more upbeat and lively atmosphere that is in sync with who we are as a couple rather than your standard classic wedding playlist we've heard over and over that we can't really dance to the way we would like. He listened to us and appreciated the list we sent over while understanding our taste and adding some songs to it throughout the wedding day that made for an amazing time that our guests can't stop talking about! -Kristin and Ryan Roberts 6.25.22
