DJ Obie

  • DJ
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Dakota, 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.

DJ Obie created a magical and fun environment for every single guest at a NYE wedding that I attended. He did an incredible job of getting the entire room of people excited to be there. His energy is contagious. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to take their event to the next level!
