DJ Obie

DJ
Starts at $3,500
Serves Oblong, 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.

“He doesn't just keep the party going with music...he IS the party, and he makes sure everyone, young and old, has a good time. You can tell he is passionate about what he does.”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Steven Carter at a wedding exbo in Madison. He was dressed in all orange and had a huge smile on his face! I knew I was in the moment I saw him! From then on, Steven had a few meetings with us to organize, plan, and to just listen to us vent. Steven became more than just a dj doing a job, he became a friend who cared. And this carried over to not just us but to all of our guests as well. Steven helped release tables during dinner, he kept conversation flowing with guests, and he wasn't caught without a smile on his face. He joined many dances and kept the night entertaining and purely enjoyable. He brought so much positive energy and fun to the evening! He also kept the bride and groom in his top priority. He was able to grab us both and pull us away from the hundreds of conversations so we could catch a moment together and get some beautiful sunset pictures! And during all of this, his wonderful wife kept the photo booth going and placed a copy of everything in a book for us to keep and take home. Carter Entertainment offers the full package and more! I am beyond lucky to have found this wonderful crew!”
