DJ Obie

5.0

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

What else can we say about DJ Obie? In our wedding planning we requested to have him as our DJ. I had mutual friends from college that knew him and had attended teacher trainings with his significant other. We were told we *might have him as our DJ but our purchase level wouldn’t guarantee it. We were so fortunate to realize we did in fact have him as our DJ. Even throughout the cocktail hour he was lively and entertaining guests. As the reception began, the power/sound went out multiple times, and he powered through. I truly have never seen a wedding DJ more positively encourage and engage guests. The dance floor was never empty, and DJ Obie joined us on the floor as the night went on. To this day I think his involvement in our wedding made it that much better.

Nicholas was the best wedding DJ service we could have ever asked for. Leading up to our wedding, Nicholas was very easy to work with and had very good communication. We were able to have all of our questions and concerns taken care of before our wedding. On the day of our wedding, Nicholas did a SUPERB job DJing! Our favorite part about Nicholas is that he does not simply just play a Spotify playlist and calls it good. Nicholas actually mixes songs together and he does an amazing job doing so. I had so many of my friends coming up to me on the dance floor saying, "HEY, DUDE!! THIS DJ IS AWESOME!" The DJing Nicholas does is amazing by itself, but Nicholas also does an amazing job MCing our wedding. He knows when music should be played, and how to keep everyone engaged at the wedding whether its him directing everyone's attention to the cake cutting or the first dance. There was one part at our wedding where we had our guests congregating at our venue before our outside ceremony started. This was something we never planned for before. We originally thought guest would take their seats outside. Nonetheless Nicholas realized what was going on and instead of guests talking with no music on, Nicholas started playing fitting wedding music for the guests to be greeted to in order to create a welcoming atmosphere. It sounds small but this was such a nice touch that he did. We didn't even have to tell him to do this. It really goes to show that even if your wedding plan doesn't go the way that you want, Nicholas will be able to adapt to any situation. The Ceremony itself was done perfectly. We had a handful of songs for him to play as well as some back up songs if some parts of the Ceremony took longer than expected. Nicholas was able to execute the Ceremony flawlessly. Nicholas is the whole package. He is very skilled at DJing and MCing, he is very kind and easy to work with, he provides a lot of his own equipment, and he does all of this at an amazing price. I feel like we should have been paying him 4x for what he charges. He is an amazing DJ and a gentleman. You can tell he really cares about all of his clients. You cannot go wrong with Nicholas!

Felix & Fingers was the best addition to my wedding! We had a BLAST. It’s the best mix between a live band and sing along karaoke (but you don’t want your uncle to get the mic, you know?). They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

High energy? Check. Crowd participation? Check. Hype set list? Check. Something Blu really delivers. They are organized and helped run the event from making announcements to passing around a mic for toasts. They learned a custom song for our first dance and then blew the roof off the place when it was time to open the dance floor. Months later, our friends and family are still raving. They really helped make our night one to remember.

Andrew is one pf the best DJs out there. He not only kept the dance floor energetic while playing clean music but kept the wedding running smoothly by doing amazing mc work. His humor kept the guest entertained. Not only is Andrew a great dj during the night but throughout the whole planning process. He was responsive answering all the questions. Andrew is a very kind compassionate person as well. He checked in with us (bride and groom) throughout the night. Not only were we impressed with his hard work but we got many compliments from the guest. Everyone loved is humorist charismatic personality.
