Best DJ ever!

Mike and Clara were absolutely incredible! They brought so much experience, energy, and professionalism to the entire day. From start to finish, they made everything flow seamlessly and truly went above and beyond to make it the best day ever for us. Mike knew exactly how to read the room, keep the energy high, and transition every moment effortlessly, while Clara made sure every detail was handled perfectly behind the scenes. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had—and honestly, no one wanted to leave the dance floor! We couldn’t have asked for a better team to help bring our vision to life.

Great Wedding DJ!

DJ Ed was phenomenal at our November 22, 2025 wedding at River Roast. From planning to the last song, he was reliable, responsive, and truly understood the atmosphere we wanted. His music choices and timing kept everyone engaged and dancing! In addition to the music, the uplighting choices created an incredible atmosphere and matched exactly what we were hoping for. We’re so glad we chose DJ Ed & O’Dea Entertainment for our day!

Perfect DJ for our wedding!

Mike was everything we could’ve hoped for and more—upbeat, friendly, and an absolute pro at reading the crowd. He kept the energy high and the dance floor packed the entire night! Our guests had so much fun dancing, and we received tons of compliments about how great the music was.

He created such a fun, joyful atmosphere and made sure the vibe matched exactly what we envisioned. From start to finish, Mike helped make our reception unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Seamless, Fun, Unforgettable Experience with O'Dea Entertainment at Our Wedding

We had the most amazing experience with O'Dea Entertainment! We love music and dancing and have seen a range of DJs as wedding guests, so we really cared about finding the right entertainment expert! From our first conversation with Michael, he made us feel confident that he would provide an experience with smooth transitions, energy, and music that we love. His expertise made the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception flow so well; he was so attentive to the energy of the guests to move things along when the time was right, and the mix of music on the dance floor was both great for getting people on the dance floor and personalized to us. Rebecca set up the most fun and cool lighting that made our dance floor feel much more special than we even imagined!
We cannot imagine our wedding day without O'Dea entertainment--they truly helped set the foundation for the most amazing memories celebrating with our guests!

Mother of the Groom!

Michael and his wife were so wonderful, start to finish, to work with. During the planning, all of the O'Dea staff were so responsive and helpful. My son and I had put together a little mix for our dance and Michael had no problem including our file with that mix. It played perfectly. Throughout the day and night, the timing of all the music was absolutely spot on. From the ceremony, to the reception introductions to all our specialty dances, it was wonderful!! Thank you so very much for playing our special family song, "Reach for the Stars". That is such a fabulous memory for us all. So appreciated all your time, hard work and kindness.

Best in the business!

We had been been to multiple weddings where O'Dea provided the entertainment and had a blast every single time. We thought they were so good that we hired them for our own wedding and are so glad we did. The dance floor was full the entire night and people are still talking about the amazing time they had. We will recommend O'Dea Entertainment to everyone we know!
