I don’t have enough good things to say about DJ Obehi! As a professional dancer, obviously I’m a firm believer that the DJ can make or break a dance floor, and DJ Obehi absolutely MADE IT! Not only did he pick out music for our dance floor that was so specific and special to us, but he also was an amazing MC throughout the day. He absolutely brought the energy up! The whole process of booking with him was so smooth and easy, and he definitely has an amazing reputation out there - even the ABC license people had heard of him and told me he was the best and they were jealous! We even had a piñata at our wedding, and DJ Obehi was so game with our song and introducing it - he even threw me the bat! All of our guests absolutely LOVED Obehi. Hire him - you won’t regret it!

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.

They were very interactive with the crowd and even let the groom (a guitar player) get up there and jam out with them. This was such a fun addition to the wedding and we loved every minute of it!

I started DJing back during my college years at Penn State in 1982. In the beginning, I was helping a friend of mine who bought a complete DJ setup from a business who was selling one of their systems. We did frat parties, formals & some of the local State College bars. After college I moved to Binghamton, NY. There I had a six month radio show on a public station. I also worked some of the local bars under the name Sounds Fantastic. Fast forward to January of 2000 we moved to Raleigh,NC to bring our musical experience to the south!

Danamare Productions Mobile DJ & Karaoke was a fantastic choice for our wedding entertainment. From the start, Dan had a direct and easy communication style that made working with him a breeze. He was incredibly helpful, easy to work with, and delivered exactly what we needed for our special day. We had several special music requests for different parts of the wedding, and Dan handled them all without any mistakes. The music and energy he brought to the dance floor kept our guests entertained all night long. We would absolutely love to work with Dan and Danamare Productions again in the future. HIRE HIM!
