Steve (our dj , recommend asking for him) and his crew were incredibly professional and helped us have the wedding of our dreams. They were very easy to work with during our planning phase. They arrived early at the venue to perform sound quality checks and ensured a perfect outdoor ceremony . They delivered an amazing performance for us. Many guests at the wedding complemented how well things flowed between events. Sound quality was exceptional. Literally the entire night once the dance floor opened, people were out there dancing and enjoying the night away. He was superb and we are lost for words.

Ken transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. His ability to keep the energy high for every guest was truly impressive. The dance floor stayed packed even after the wedding had ended and the venue was wrapping up. He handled all the music and microphones from the pre-ceremony through the reception, which was awesome. We didn’t have to worry about renting any equipment because he came fully prepared with everything we needed for the entire day. From the moment the dance floor opened, Ken had the dance floor packed. He played a fantastic set of songs that everyone knew and loved, ensuring that no one was left sitting out, but also had no lulls in the energy of the night. His knack for reading the crowd and playing the right songs at the right time kept people dancing all night long. One standout feature was the music videos he played on the screen of his dj booth. This was a nice touch, especially for those who might have felt a bit shy about hitting the dance floor. It allowed everyone to enjoy the ambiance, whether they were dancing or simply watching and singing along. Ken also excelled as an emcee. He smoothly directed the flow of activities, ensuring that transitions between different parts of the evening were seamless. One of the highlights of the night was the group photo he organized. Ken took the initiative to gather everyone for a memorable photo op, which turned out to be a fantastic keepsake for everyone at the wedding. The moving photo booth was another hit. Ken's assistant, Chris, walked around with a camera attached to a ring light in order to capture both candid and posed shots. Guests who were dancing or lounging at their dinner tables could easily join in the fun of a photo booth, as it came right to them. Ken allowed my sister (the maid of honor) to use his dj booth for a slideshow during her speech, which was an exciting surprise for me (the bride) and all our guests. He was overall very patient with all our requests and even shared edits of the songs for the first dances, making sure everything was just right before the big day. Ken did a fantastic job making our wedding a night to remember. His skills as a DJ and his flexible approach really made a difference in making our day perfect. If you want someone who will help your entire event go smoothly and keep the party going, Ken is definitely a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.

DJ Obie

  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves McHenry, 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.
