June 6, 2022I hired Odie for my husband's 40th birthday and I could not be happier with his performance. From our first communication to the day of the event, he asked questions, he took suggestions, and although I provided him with an extensive list of artist - he pretty much covered them all! It takes a lot to impress me.. and Odie did just that! He even teamed up with my DJ for a breathtaking collaboration which we all loved! When I asked him to stay an extra 1.5 hours at the end of the night, he was very flexible with his time and rate. Thank you Odie, my party was a success
