DJ Obie

5.0

Moline, IL
  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Johnston, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
To us, the DJ was a critical part of our wedding reception. We wanted someone that would participate with us and our guests. OBIE was an instant hit! He has the type of personality that fits in with many. Whether it was the older couple who had the most years married or the younger generation... he has a way to connect and entertain. He checked in with us to be sure the "feel" was what we hoped for and was eager to please. We highly recommend Obie!!

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!
