Finally, I'm a crazy culmination of all my life experiences.

We hired Liz to be our DJ and Master of Ceremonies. What we ended up getting was a full fledge package of a wedding planner, Roast Master, DJ, Master of Ceremonies, and the most generous person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. Not only did she make sure that everything we asked for went more than perfect. She also took control and made sure our beach front wedding was hooked up with microphones and music so everyone could here our vows and be a part of the most special day of our lives. She is a FULL PACKAGE and she is worth 5x’s more than she charges. I can honestly say that she was the main reason our wedding was so memorable. It’s been 8 years and I still have friends making comments on how much fun and excite of the whole event was. When my wife and I renew our vows on our 10th anniversary. Liz will not be hired to work the event. She will be attending as a guest. She literally turned into part of our family and is loved dearly by my wife and I.

The band manager, Roxanne is a SUPERSTAR! She makes the process of booking and executing SO easy. She is quick to respond, thoughtful and very helpful. The band took our song requests and even used a playlist I made for when they took breaks (I used this time to play Hispanic and Arabic songs). The band was lively all night long- the only thing I wish they would have done is interact with the crowd more. Other than that, we were so happy with their performance!

Kelton from Marquee Artists was amazing! He was a communicative and active participant in the planning of the music and the announcements at my wedding on March 9. Kelton provided an extensive list of potential songs to play in a shared Google Document with columns for “play” and “do not play” which was great. Also, I was impressed that he attended the walk through of the Whittemore House a month prior to the wedding, asking pertinent questions of the Whittemore staff about the placement of various things and how best to provide the sound amplification that would be needed. He provided wireless mics which worked really well for the toasts. Kelton did a great job as the master of ceremony and his mix of the selected music was fun and fabulous. He had the crowd dancing, rocking to the music. Many of the older folks told me that they hadn’t danced in years but were having lots of fun doing so then. Having him on our wedding team instilled so much confidence in me, my daughter and new son-in-law, who is an amateur DJ. They were so taken by Kelton that, if possible, they would like to attend future events at which Kelton is the DJ!! I HIGHLY recommend him.

OBEHI THE DJ

Charlotte, NC
  • DJ
  • Serves Portsmouth, VA

Welcome! My name is Obehi (obey). I'm a Nigerian-born American. God has blessed me with many opportunities to be a full-time DJ. I take very seriously the nearly 200 weddings I've had the privilege of being a part of. I hope this curated page can show you and your family that I will give 110% of my talent and personality to aid in making your night one to remember.

Finding the right DJ was one of the most important things for my fiancé and I when we were planning our wedding. We stumbled across a video on social media of Obehi at a wedding absolutely rocking out with his clients and their guests and we were immediately sold. From the very first phone call, we knew we had made the right choice. Obehi was open, honest, and deeply cared about making sure he was providing us with an exceptional DJ experience at our wedding! He answered questions when we needed him and he truly took the time to get to know us as a couple to ensure that the music he was playing matched us and our vibe. Our wedding was nothing short of perfect and Obehi played a huge role in the that! He played every song that was requested by us as a couple, our guests, and beyond. He interacted with us personally, with our guests, and even made sure to join us on the dance floor! Obehi is more than just a DJ...he's an MC, some comic relief in a stressful moment, and now a forever friend! If you are looking for a DJ for your special day, I cannot recommend Obehi enough!

The Hook Club was incredible on our wedding day and we would highly recommend. They came well reviewed from friends who had attended weddings where THC performed and we totally get why. They killed it! Everything about working with The Hook Club was easy - they were responsive throughout the booking and planning process and never left any doubt we had made the right choice. From the initial set of band configurations they had sent over at varying price points to the setlist planning and actual wedding day Dan and Adam were professional, friendly and on top of everything. We wound up going with the DJ/Band option and it was perfect - nearly everyone (including elderly grandparents) were on their feet all night dancing to THC and all we heard about for days after the wedding was how great the music was. They went out of their way to work in a wide mix of genres and the band breaks allowed the DJ to play other fun numbers. There is a lot to keep track of when planning a wedding and the band is one of the most important parts of the reception - do yourself a favor and book The Hook Club.

Deverin was such a joy to work with. He was fun and personable and kept the party going- no one was ready to leave! I gave him a list of songs for inspiration and he took it and ran with it which was awesome. He came well prepared and was able to switch gears and move inside and out seamlessly with little notice. He is such a nice person and so much fun! After my wedding my sister hurried to book him for her own wedding.

Words can’t express how much we loved working with Ana & Jimmy and the entire Amp DJ Band Hybrid. My husband really wanted a band while I really wanted a DJ, Amp DJ band was the perfect mix. We found Ana & Jimmy immediately and were able to schedule a meeting with them the next day. We knew right away that they were right for us. They were extremely attentive and outgoing from the start. They answered all out of questions and addressed concerns we had. We booked them immediately because we didn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to work with them. We met with them several times through our 6 month planning process. They responded immediately to any questions that popped up along the way and even allowed us to make a last minute change the night before. They well exceeded our musical playlist, taking the songs we requested and tailoring the rest of the music to fit the vibe. There was a perfect mix of live songs and an awesome dj set. The amount of compliments my husband & I received about the band far exceeded anything we expected. All of our guests LOVED them (of course as did we). So many people reached out that night or the next day to say how impressed they were with Ana, Jimmy & the whole band. We also had an acoustic guitar player at our cocktail hour which was amazing. If you’re debating getting a band for your wedding because your heart is set on a DJ, seriously look no further than Amp DJ Band hybrid. You will not be disappointed. I want to have another event just to work with them again!
