    Perfect wedding music!

    My sister hired Micheal O'Dea for her wedding several years ago, and we still remember how fun the dance floor was. That was the reason my husband and I picked Michael for our own wedding, and he did not disappoint! He plays all the right music at the right time without being "too much" like some MCs can be. His lighting was exactly the vibe we were going for as well. Would definitely recommend!

    Guests were dancing ALL NIGHT!

    Our goal was to keep the dance floor full all night and DJ Mike made that happen! Guests had so much fun at the wedding and Mike knew exactly what to play to keep them on the dance floor. Mike is the perfect balance of professional and fun!

    Great experience!

    I gave them a high level overview of what I wanted and Eddie took it and ran with it! He was able to read the room and make sure the music went with it. They did an absolutely wonderful job!

    O'Dea Entertainment's reply:

    Olivia,

    It was our pleasure sharing your special day with you! So glad DJ Ed was able to make your day extra fun!

    DJ Ed is the best!!

    DJ Ed was amazing! He was so helpful and answered all our questions even all the last minute questions I had on our wedding day. He made sure things went smoothly from the ceremony to the reception. My husband is Bulgarian and DJ Ed mixed in Bulgarian music in our playlists and had everyone dancing and laughing which is all we wanted! Book DJ Ed right now! You will not regret it!

    O'Dea Entertainment's reply:

    We are so glad DJ Ed was able to mix your Bulgarian music in with family favorites. Thank you for having us celebrate with you and your families!

    O’Dea Entertainment is a must!

    Mike and his team were awesome! From the very first conversation we had with Mike, it was clear that he was going to deliver an awesome experience for our wedding guests. He listened to our preferences and tailored the night to our music choices, while also putting his twist on the night and using his expertise to make sure there was energy at all times. Our guests danced from start to finish and we had so many people tell us that the music was perfect, even the older crowd! It was clear Mike really knew how to read a room and that was a huge difference maker in keeping our dance floor full.

    Mike also made sure the acoustics for our ceremony and speeches at the reception were perfect. We got married in a large ballroom, which often makes the sound a bit tricky, but he knew exactly what we needed so no matter where someone was sitting, all of our guests were able to hear everything. We can't recommend Mike and his team enough!

    Mike and the team are AMAZING! They will bring the hype and the organization to your big day. They come prepared for the day and are ready to make everything go smoothly. They also are great dance floor hosts! They played exactly what we asked for and made sure there weren't any lulls in the dancing. We loved working with them and would recommend to anyone!

    Above and Beyond

    One decision during wedding planning I was most anxious about was who to hire as a DJ for my wedding. O'Dea Entertainment came highly recommended from some acquaintances of ours. After a 30 minute intro call with Michael, it was clear he knew exactly how to deliver on a killer vibe for our small, rooftop wedding. From the email responsiveness of his team to the custom music cuts and cues, they really went above and beyond for us. Michael read the crowd just right and the flow of music was so natural and played to the room, the most painful part was when everything had to end! 11/10, could not strongly recommend O'Dea Ent. enough!

    O'Dea Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you! What a wonderful wedding at the Robey!
    Beautiful Couple! Beautiful Venue! Beautiful night!
    Thanks for having us celebrate with you all!

    So much fun!

    We could not have asked for a better DJ. Mike and his team made our wedding so much fun with extra lights, sunglasses, and so much more. We went from an elegant outdoor wedding with great acoustics to a fun energy fill dance floor at our reception. I couldn’t recommend a better DJ to be at your next event!!

    DJ Ed was phenomenal

    We could not have asked for a better DJ. Ed was on top of everything, very communicative, prepped us well for the day and managed our timeline to make sure everything we wanted was able to happen during the celebration. The speakers and lighting system were top notch, would not have changed a thing. Highly recommend!

    So much fun!

    When planning our reception, we said, "we literally just want our guests to party and have fun." And that's exactly what they did! A month later, we STILL have friends telling us how great the DJ was. We couldn't have asked for anything more.

    The O’Deas Are a Must

    I don’t know where to begin with writing a review about how wonderful the o’dea were. Absolute professionals, organized, responsive and all-around caring people. They really make you feel like family. They were the linchpin and having a successful and fun wedding reception as well as ceremony. All of their equipment is top notch and really bring the party together! You do not need to look any further

    O'Dea Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for the sweet review! We loved celebrating with you!
    Yes you are Family! Safe travels home and it was our pleasure!

    Flawless and Fabulous

    I cannot recommend Dj Ed enough and will even go as far as saying he is the best wedding DJ for any wedding I have been to! From the beginning of our search, using O'Dea has been flawless. Clara from the front office took care of all the admin stuff and we were able to meet with Ed the week of the big day. I told him that one of my biggest priorities at our wedding was for everyone to have fun- and he delivered. He was a little weary since the reception was longer than most - we were set to dance for 5 hours (not sure if this would happen or not- but we sure were going to give our best)- and with the help of DJ Ed- we delivered! Ed kept a massive number of guests on the dance floor for the WHOLE 5 hours. He did an amazing job of reading the crowd and sticking to my very strict request of not having any "cheesy line dances" no matter how many times they were requested. Many of my guests commented on how great the music was. Ed was also in charge of ceremony/cocktail hour and dinner music and was flexible enough to come early to set everything up and extend his time as I added on pre ceremony music at the midnight hour. I highly recommend Ed and O'Dea entertainment for anyone needing DJ services. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Ed for being such a critical part of our special day! We are so grateful for you!

    O'Dea Entertainment's reply:

    Jennifer, Thank you for your outstanding comments regarding Ed your Dj. He takes great pride in what he does and loves to Dj
    Much happiness, great memories for the years to come.

    Michael and Team are amazing!

    Michael did our lights and music and NAILED IT!! We had three events in the evening, the ceremony, the cocktail hour, and the reception. Our eclectic needs (jazz, country, disco ball, smoke machine, fancy lighring) were handled with humor and professionalism. Michael read the room perfectly and kept everyone boogieing. Thank you all at O'Dea Entertainment.

    Fabulous, Fabulous, Fabulous!

    Wonderful experience from beginning to end, from dealing with the office and Clara, to the wedding with DJ Ed! DJ Ed kept everyone on the dance floor and we got so many compliments on the music! I did not give him a lot of guidance on what to play - just told him what we liked and I let him go with it and I was not disappointed! They are all professionals and know exactly what to do to keep people on the dance floor, but also kept the older people happy and did not blast out our eardrums! I give this company my highest recommendation!

    Fantastic Wedding DJ

    O'Dea Entertainment and DJ Ed were fantastic. DJ Ed was great at reading the crowd and keeping people on the dance floor. He understood what we wanted from the start, easy to work with, and took our creative direction and ran with it. DJ Ed was a total pro. The company, O'Dea Entertainment, were responsive to all our questions and we would recommend them to anyone in the Chicago area.

    Absolutely fantastic and memorable

    DJ Mike was awesome!!!! Just so enthusiastic and friendly with everyone. What I thought was really special was making a point to call me out (bride) on the dance floor. It was so cool and it pumped everyone up. He always kept eye contact during the specialty dances so we would know when to fade music out. I appreciated that! So attentive and stuck to the playlist given. Recommended!!!!

    O'Dea Entertainment's reply:

    It was my pleasure! You had a Fun Dancing group and it was a wonderful wedding! Thank you for the recommendation!
