DJ Obie 

5.0

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Buffalo Prairie, 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.

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.

DJ Milk was the best to work with for our wedding. He was easy going and fun to work with and listened to all of our requests for music and what we did not want played at our wedding. He was flexible and accommodating throughout the entire process as well. My now husband and I cannot be more happy with our decision to have him as the DJ at our wedding. He played all the music and songs we wanted and had our guests out on the dance floor the entire night. He also made sure that every single person's name in the bridal party was pronounced correctly when doing their entrance and was flexible and willing to work with my bridesmaid for a special song surprise they had planned for us. Several of our guests also told us how fantastic he was and that he was the best DJ they have ever encountered at a wedding. He also did a fantastic job at following our wedding day schedule and making sure people were giving speeches, doing dances, etc. when they were supposed to, which was so helpful and important to me because I did not have to worry about a thing! I was able to just relax and enjoy my wedding! In addition to music, he has some other fun things like lighting, games, etc. that he did for us. If you are looking for a DJ for your wedding or any other event, DJ Milk is your guy. You will not be disappointed you hired him!

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!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
In Summer ‘22 I stood in a wedding for which Steven was the DJ. My then fiance and I were so impressed with him that we took a business card and wanted to hire him for our wedding in Winter ‘23. He took considerable effort not only to understand how we imagined our wedding, but also sharing his expertise during our planning stages. He gave us insightful recommendations and one or two cautionary tales–never to scare us, rather to help educate us. When the day came, Steven made such a lasting impression on our friends and family. The dance floor was electric all night long! A year later people still tell my wife and I how much fun they had at our wedding reception, much of the credit owed to Steven. We recommend Carter Events & Entertainment to any of our friends who will listen!

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.

When our dance floor space was limited, Richard expertly improvised by transforming our cocktail hour area into one large party space where our family and friends could dance the night away. The music selection was exactly what we wanted and more - Richard kept things flowing seamlessly and made sure everyone had an amazing time celebrating with us. We can't recommend Detroit Family Entertainment highly enough!

We had an amazing experience with the Something Blu Wedding Band! They were super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process and came very organized and prepared on our wedding day. They brought such incredible energy from the moment they started playing during the cocktail hour all the way through the end of the reception. The Something Blu band absolutely exceeded our expectations and kept all of our guests dancing and having a blast the entire night! I would highly, highly recommend this band if you want to have a fun and memorable time at your wedding or event. Their song selection appeals to all ages and they really know how to read the vibe of the crowd. We received so many compliments from our guests on how awesome the band was.
