DJ Obie

5.0

Moline, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Champaign, 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
We first came across DJ Obie at our very good friends wedding. It didn't take long before I ran behind the DJ booth for his information so he could DJ our wedding a few months later. DJ Obie is the biggest hype man and his energy level is unmatched. He is so easy to work with and very accommodating. He made us feel like we were the biggest event he had planned for the year and that he was just as excited to work with us as we were with him. This is a DJ that truly loves what he does and truly enjoys making other people's visions come to life. Not only did we love him, our wedding guests couldn't get enough of him. He is the perfect balance of energy and intimacy if you are looking for a wedding DJ. Do not look any further because you will miss out.

As a wedding vendor, you get a peek behind the curtain and see the best and worst of other vendors. Oftentimes, I see a side of DJ’s that isn’t pretty… uncooperative, unprofessional, unprepared. I see none of that with Cory. He is a kind, genuine, and caring person and that reflects in how he runs his business. I cannot recommend him enough.

DRS MUSIC, INC

Evanston, IL
  • Musician
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Champaign, IL

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!

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

Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking.

Steven was FANTASTIC! We are so thankful for all that he did to make our wedding day a success! His communication was so fast, I was never waiting or wondering if I would hear form him. He went above and beyond helping us pick out our music, and making sure that our timeline for the reception was exactly how we wanted it.

The day of, not only was he energetic and warm, but he truly helped out reception be a success and I received so many complements! Right away, Steven helped us get ready for our grand entrance, organized with the venue and photographers, and made our wedding party feel so comfortable! He was so helpful in making sure our speakers were ready at the right time, and he was not afraid to reach out to people at the venue to keep things moving along as needed. I had guests who complemented his song selections, his transitions between songs, and the level of sound. My husband and I were so pleased with how the day went, and we would hire Steven again!

We hired Hamza's live bollywood band for our reception. They were exceptionally well! We were initially inclined towards hiring someone from India but the cost and logistics were too much to handle so we decided to look for a band based in the US. We weren't expecting the band sound so amazing but we were totally blown away! All of our guests had a great time and that's what mattered to us the most. Totally worth it! Can't thank you guys enough for making our event so memorable. Looking forward to seeing you guys at my friends events because they will totally hire you.

  • Serves Champaign, IL for additional fees

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!
