DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Waterloo, IA

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.

When it came to planning my wedding, there were a million things on my mind, but finding the right entertainment turned out to be a breeze, all thanks to DJ Obie Entertainment. From the moment we connected, it was clear that we were in good hands, but little did I know just how exceptional our experience would be. DJ Obie was more than just a DJ; he was a true professional who approached our special day with unmatched dedication and expertise. His level of organization and communication was unparalleled, easing my worries and allowing me to fully enjoy the lead-up to our wedding. From the get-go, he embraced our event as if it were his own, and that level of commitment was evident in every aspect of his service. One thing that truly stood out was DJ Obie's meticulous preparation. He had a comprehensive spreadsheet with all the necessary information, including details I hadn't even thought of. This level of attention to detail not only impressed me but also made the entire process smoother and more enjoyable. On the big day, DJ Obie proved himself to be the life of the party. He seamlessly coordinated with our wedding coordinator, ensuring that every moment flowed effortlessly. From the ceremony to the reception, his music selection was spot-on, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed. Speaking of the dance floor, DJ Obie had an uncanny ability to hype up our guests like no other. People who I never expected to see dancing were out there, having the time of their lives. The atmosphere was electric, and the compliments about the party's liveliness are still pouring in. In short, our wedding wouldn't have been the same without DJ Obie Entertainment. His professionalism, talent, and passion for what he does shone through every step of the way, resulting in an unforgettable experience for us and our guests. If you want your event to be nothing short of amazing, I wholeheartedly recommend DJ Obie. You won't regret it.

Megan and Logan were great to work with in the early stages, and then Ali & Drake took over about a month before! They all were fantastic to work with and I could definitely tell that Ali & Drake were the best match for my wedding. I wasn't sure what to think about booking a company that matches a DJ to your wedding after booking, but they really did take the time to find what music style I liked and which DJ was going to vibe the best. Highly recommend!!!! The entire planning process was so easy with them and the online portal was so simple to use! They truly made my day exceptional!

DJ Davin Titus 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Waterloo, IA

Elevate your event experience. I provide premium sound system, dance floor lighting, tube lighting, full room dynamic up lighting, live DJ mixing, and emceeing, to any event you are imagining. I try to help any potential client gain a better perspective on the importance of not only hiring someone to play a role as a "DJ" - (aka someone who simply plays music) but also having that same person actively assist with the flow of the event and truly becoming integrated within your event. If you feel like we would be a great fit, I'd love the opportunity to chat!

Davin was INCREDIBLE! He was an incredible communicator, extremely organized, was on top of everything before our wedding day and during, and was incredibly talented. He played music that we requested as well as adding songs that matched the vibe. I really liked that he was actually DJing too. It wasn’t just like a Spotify playlist playing. I don’t know the right words to use but he used remixes and added beats to songs that would normally be difficult to dance to. My now husband and I didn’t want to leave the dance floor. There were plenty of times when we wanted a break from dancing physically but then another great song would come on so we just ended up staying on the dance floor. I even heard guests say they were getting some fresh air for a second and then the song would change and they changed their minds too and kept dancing. Honestly you couldn’t ask for a better DJ for your event. Such a talented and great guy!

We could not have had a better experience than we did with Tyson and Marquee Events. After our first call with him, before we had booked, we hung up the phone and knew our search was over. We could tell we were going to be in the best hands possible for both us, and our guests. Tyson made everything easy from start to finish and helped us create the dream atmosphere that we envisioned. We want to do it all over again so we can relive the dance floor. Can't recommend him (or the CO2 cannons) enough - best entertainment in DSM, no questions asked.

Would HIGHLY recommend PrayzHim Entertainment. Professional, prepared, detail-oriented, genuine, and hilarious are just a few words I would use to describe Andrew Spence and his team. Andrew flawlessly set up for an outdoor venue he had never been too, and everyone could hear our ceremony even with some sprinkles of rain and 15 mph winds! He worked together with our videographer to capture the audio for our video at both the ceremony and reception locations. At our reception, everyone had fun with the photo booth, dismissing of tables, and musical chairs scavenger hunt. My family normally does not dance at weddings, but he kept everyone out there the entire night. 10/10 would recommend PrayzHim Entertainment!!
