DJ Obie

DJ
Starts at $3,500
Serves Freeport, 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.

“I booked Obie for my wedding on April 7. I knew there were multiple moving parts to making a wedding successful. However, I did not realize the magnitude of having a great DJ and MC until I had DJ Obie for both. I was incredibly impressed on how professional he was from the very beginning. From my past experience, many DJs were happy to be picked and paid for a job. DJ Obie was different. He not only appreciated taking on the job, but he strived to ensure that the wedding would be a moment to remember, and without a doubt, he accomplished that. During the wedding and days after, I continually heard my (and my wife’s friends) say that DJ Obie did an incredible job. Without a doubt, it’s the best job that I experienced and I look forward to working with you again. Thank you so much for making this a moment to remember.”

“Party AM LLC Indian Wedding DJ was a fantastic choice for our event. From the first time we spoke with them, their communication was professional yet friendly, and it was clear they had a lot of experience working different events. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - they had a great selection of Punjabi and upbeat songs that kept our guests on the dance floor all night long. Their seamless transitions from one song to the next, and helpful guidance in choosing the perfect playlist to match our taste and style, really contributed to making our special day so memorable.”

“The Park Avenue Orchestra is simply one of the best group of musicians you could ever have at a wedding. From the initial contact with Hank Paul, you know you are dealing with a professional organization. Their large playlist and ability to play a range of music, assures your evening of music will entertain everyone. This is our second time booking The Park Avenue Orchestra to entertain at one of our daughter's weddings. At each wedding the dance floor was filled for hours. They engage your audience and Ricky and Kim were outstanding vocalists.”
