really understands how to keep people on the dance floor. Not only that, but he emcee’d our entire wedding day and coordinated with guests to keep things running smooth. I’ve been to other DJ Dave events in the past and have never been disappointed. I can’t say enough good things about him and his work — truly an elite experience!

job with planning as well. Keeping everything moving and on time at the reception. The night could not have been more perfect and DJ Dave was a crucial part in that. Honestly Book Him. You will not regret it!
DJ Dave was the most amazing addition to our son’s wedding this weekend! From start to finish he was a one man show, he was an organizer, a host, an emcee, an artist, and an entert...
ainment specialist! His style is second to none, he made everyone at the wedding feel like they were part of the wedding party. He kept everyone on their feet, both young and old, and I personally received countless compliments, saying that he may be the best wedding entertainment they have ever seen! He was definitely a key part in making this party a success, Thank you for everything!!
Dave Drummond was the best DJ I’ve ever seen at a wedding! He is more than a DJ, excellent at engaging the crowd, putting in the right song at the perfect time, and even managed th...
e flow of guests to the buffet. I cannot say enough about him! He was excellent at communication, held a zoom meeting since we were out of state. He thought of things I totally would have forgotten. His professionalism is first class. He will keep your party going and add a personal touch to your day! Put your faith in him and look no further, he’s completely worth it!
Dave was the absolute perfect DJ for our wedding! He was so easy to work with and so much fun to be around, even while planning our wedding over Zoom from out of state. Our wedding...
party, and all of our guests, had a blast with him the night of our event. This was the second event he's done for our family, and we will be recommending him to everyone we know in the future!
We seriously could not have picked out a better DJ! Dave made our weeding night perfect. He always kept the crowd not their feet and dancing with us. His music selection was specta...
cular and he even catered to our needs for a bilingual friendly reception. I would recommend Odyssey Entertainment for anyone looking to host the party of their lives. We still have friends giving us compliments for how much fun the reception was!
Dave was amazing! So flexible with meeting dates, as we were planning a wedding out of town, and was so accommodating. He read the crowd perfectly at the wedding and made it one of...
the best weddings around! So many people are still talking about how great he was!
When Mike and I attended my cousins wedding in December of 2016, Dave was the DJ and from that night on we knew that when we decided to get married, we had to have Dave for our spe...
cial day! Dave is extremely organized, meeting with us in person on multiple occasions before the wedding and also communicating with us via email which he was very promt with responses and easy to communicate with- making sure no stone was left unturned. People say that the DJ really sets the tone for the night and keeps things moving, this is SO TRUE and Dave definitely did a great job with this. We stayed on schedule to a "T" and there was no downtime where I felt like our guests were ever bored or left sitting and waiting. He definitely knows how to play for a crowd, keeping the dance floor packed all night! We have received so many compliments since our wedding about Dave and we have already been asked for his information several times. Dave is simply the best and he truly made our wedding stressfree, memorable and so so so much fun. Thank you, Dave! You did an incredible job through and through.
Dave was one of the best parts of our wedding! He is not just a DJ, but he keeps the party going, the entertainer. If you want your wedding to have a lot of fun, entertainment, a...
nd create a memorable evening for your guests, he is your guy. My career is in music so I was extremely picky with what I was looking for in a DJ and he nailed it. I loved his selection and the variety of music he played throughout the evening, I received several complements from our guests as being the highlight of our wedding. He also provided two screens that displayed pictures and uplighting for our venue. I met with him twice before the wedding and he was great at listening to what I want and gave great suggestions.
We LOVE Odyssey Mobile Entertainment. Dave was our DJ on July 1, 2017, and he made our day so incredible! We first saw Dave at a friend's wedding reception, and immediately my husb...
and and I (boyfriend at the time) knew that when we got married, we wanted Dave to be a part of it! From the initial meeting with Dave before we booked him, we knew he would be perfect. He is a true dedicated professional who really cares about running an event, not just about playing music. Ten days before the wedding, we met with Dave and went over all of the details of our big day. When we left that meeting, my husband and I were so confident that our reception would be run seamlessly. On our wedding day, Dave was amazing. Just before the bridal party introductions, he spoke to our bridal party and gave them a pump up speech and kicked off the celebration spectacularly. We booked the Diamond package, so he brought uplighting and video screens to the event. The lighting added a special ambiance and the video screens were a wonderful addition. A slideshow of pictures of my husband and I were played during cocktail hour, and he also played our engagement video during our first dance. He stays very on top of the schedule for the event, and ensures that all important people (family members, photographer/videographer) know when things are going to happen so that they don't miss important moments. We had a very big wedding, but even so, there were times when the dance floor would have a lull just because people were taking a break. Dave was excellent at playing selections to get everyone back out on the dance floor and having a great time. He really kept the party going for the entire evening! I am so thankful that Dave was a part of our day, and if I had any other big events, or family weddings, I would recommend Dave EVERY SINGLE TIME. He worked tirelessly throughout our event to make sure that my husband and I were happy, and that everything was running smoothly. As an added bonus, I have many young cousins in my family, and Dave kept them entertained throughout the night as well, even having the girls serve as the backup dancers on stage with him! I appreciate the hard work that Dave did for our wedding, and I am so thankful for his efforts!
If you are planning a wedding, book Odyssey Mobile Entertainment! Unlike many other companies, when you book Odyssey, you know that you for sure are getting Dave as your DJ. And book him early! His business runs on word of mouth and by people seeing him at weddings. He books up very quickly, so be sure to call him as early as possible.
Dave is the best there is. Period. My wife and I booked him for our wedding in 2016 at a secluded lakehouse in the hills of southern Indiana. Dave MADE the party. He was also instr...
umental in getting the ceremony running smoothly. You won't find anyone better. He is an expert and a true professional in every regard.

Dave Drummond of Odyssey Mobile Entertainment did an EXCEPTIONAL job at my daughter's wedding!!! Dave is obviously a "pro". He incorporated every request made by the bride and ...
groom, and seamlessly executed the events and entertainment throughout the evening. Dave's ability to read a crowd is remarkable, and as a result, kept the dance floor hopping all night. Dave is so much more than a DJ. He is a talented and experienced entertainer who is passionate about his work. All I can say is, WOW…he knocked it out of the park and surpassed all my expectations. Several guests commented that Dave was the best DJ they had ever seen. Most importantly, the bride and groom thought he was fabulous!!! Thank you Dave for an amazing job well done!
Dave Drummond with Odyssey Mobile is AMAZING! Dave helped manage the timeline of our reception from the moment we arrived to when we walked out the door, everything from toasts, ga...
mes and first dances. It was so nice not having to worry about anything but having fun and enjoying the moment.
We gave him some guidance during our planning session, but we didn’t want to give him a playlist, trusting our DJ to play what he thought our guests would want to hear next. It was the best decision yet, our family and friends were on the dance floor all night! And would have stayed longer if we could have!
If you are looking for a DJ in the Louisville area I would highly suggest Dave. He has years of experience in the wedding industry and knows how to run a party!!
Dave was great! The thing that I liked most about Dave was that he made sure my wife and I didn't have to worry about coordinating the wedding and reception. We decided to save mon...
ey by not hiring a wedding coordinator, and we were lucky that our DJ served both roles. He was excellent at making sure things were going on schedule, but he also made sure we had a great time dancing and playing fun games. He listened to our wants (and the wants of our families) and made sure those were incorporated into the night. I highly recommend Odyssey Mobile Entertainment, especially if you want somebody who will make sure your night goes smoothly and without worry.
Dave did such a fantastic job at our wedding this last August! We were extremely pleased with his organization and natural way of keeping things flowing at the right pace. Everyone...
loved the music and I have had many compliments since. The only downfall to our amazing day was the heat and Dave did a fantastic job at keeping everyone's minds off the heat and still had everyone dancing on the dance floor! We truly could not have asked for a better DJ and entertainer to help keep our day as perfect and special as it was. Thank you again Dave, we highly recommend you to everyone!! :) - Holly & Corey
Dave Drummond appeared to be a wonderful DJ when I first met with him (otherwise I would not have booked him), but my final meeting with him before my wedding showed that he is ver...
y intense and doesn't take well to you having an opinion regarding the way you want things done. If you have no direction or preference for the way you want the party portion of your big day to go, then I highly recommend him. However, I had a few suggestions (and I really do mean just a few) for cocktail hour music and the dance portion of the night, but, instead of executing them, he talked me out of them, and I really regret it because we ended up dancing to stuff that wasn't from this decade most of the night.
He was also INCREDIBLY rude to my photographer (whom I loved) and the owner of the venue I was married at; which are the only times I personally witnessed but doubt are the only times he was unprofessional. I was so embarrassed and his actions were completely unacceptable.
Lastly, when I showed him the layout of my venue, HE TOLD ME where he was setting up when I had already showed him where I wanted the DJ. I had to ask my aunt, who was also my wedding planner, to meet him when he showed up on the big day to make sure he didn't set up where he wanted because it would cause one of my guest tables to be blocked and pushed into the corner.
In Dave's defense, I will admit that my guests said he was great at getting them all up dancing and he was very interactive. Most people loved him.
I just felt like he was a diva that wanted things done a certain way and was not open to suggestions.
Dave traveled out to Edmond, OK to provide the entertainment during the ceremony and reception for my daughter's wedding. People thought I was nuts to book him and pay more than so...
meone local. But if you don't believe it, you need to - The biggest memory your guests will have from your wedding is the reception. (And it will make or break the way the recall it.) Dave takes control of the whole event for you, even coordinating with the venue and your other vendors to ensure that everything goes smoothly. He keeps your guests on the dance floor. I had SO many guests come up to me that evening and the next day as we saw people departing from the hotel, and say that my daughter's wedding was the best wedding/reception they had ever attended! Guests could not quit raving about how great the DJ was. (2 weeks later guests were still talking about it!) I can't say enough about how pleased we were with Dave's services. Odyssey Mobile Entertainment was the best choice we could have made! You and your guests will have the best memories of your event by having Dave of Odyssey Mobile Entertainment as your music host!
Dave Drummond with Odyssey Mobile Entertainment is an expert DJ for Weddings! It was truly unbelievable to see him in action. It was obvious he is very comfortable and knowledgeabl...
e within the Wedding industry. Not only did he provide music, he also basically coordinates everything from start of reception to the moment the bride/groom leave! He coordinates the Bridal Party's entrance once they return from taking photos...he moves from table to table to dismiss for buffet, he announces Cake Cutting, First Dance, Mom/son & Father/daughter dance, garter toss, bouquet toss....and all other special types of requests or celebrations you plan to have. He meets with you prior to the wedding to be sure he understands what you want and to review the timeline. I can't say enough...best money spent! You will not be disappointed!
Dave was absolutely amazing for our wedding reception in July! He was so accommodating and met with us ahead of time to perfect everything for the big day. He was patient and very ...
knowledgable about running a smooth reception. Dave was willing to meet with us for two hours to plan out the whole reception. During the reception, ourselves and our parents were able to completely relax and enjoy the night because Dave had full control and ran the night! It was AMAZING! Not only was Dave so helpful, he was also very entertaining. He kept our guests engaged all the way from the cocktail hour until the very last song (about 7 hours!) We have had so many of our guests say, "Your DJ was the best DJ we have ever heard!" or "Your reception was so much fun because your DJ played awesome music!" According to our guests, our reception was "one of the best" and we owe a lot of that to Dave! We have already had people request him and we have referred other engaged couples to Dave. He made our night so special and perfect!
I first saw Odyssey Mobile Entertainment at my cousin's wedding and thought when I get married I have to have it. Dave really feels out the crowd and not only plays music that fits...
but he really interacts with the crowd. One of my favorite things he does is the shoe game... Hilarious and great for the crowd to see the happy couple interact! I would highly recommend this business to everybody!!
DJ Dave is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!! He had DJ'd a couple of my family's weddings before so I knew first thing after I picked my date that I was to contact him!! By the luck of Go...
d he was open and crazy enough he recognized my name from the previous weddings!! It made me feel even more special when he was the first to ask me if my grandma was going to dance, a ritual from my previous families weddings!!!! Let's just say I fell in love from that moment on! We met a little bit before the wedding and we went over the whole ceremony from start to finish and then on to the reception! He was asking me what songs for different parts I never even dreamed of!! He would just build off an idea I had and it was like he was reading my mind!! He is not only a DJ either, I think he should go into wedding coordinating too because he was all the time walking around and making sure I was ready for the next big event!! I absolutely LOVED DJ Dave and so did my husband and everyone else at that reception! He kept the dance floor popping ranging the music from all eras that everyone would enjoy dancing too!! Our big day was not only amazing because I married the man of my dreams, but also amazing because DJ Dave turned it into the most memorable night of our lives!
Dave was my wedding DJ and he was FANTASTIC! He is so well organized; this was a huge comfort to me while I was working and planning a wedding at the same time. I never had to wo...
nder if my music was going to go alright. He also knows this business inside and out... he asked questions about things I never thought about and suggested things I didnt realize I would want at my wedding. During the event, he kept everything moving smoothly. And it was a blast!!
Furthermore, Dave was kind of like a mini wedding coordinator, helping to welcome guests, coordinate cake cutting and even keeping me and my groom aware of our timeline. I've gotten nothing but compliments from my guests and my parents couldn't stop raving about him.
If he has your wedding date open, book him now! I highly recommend him!
I went to a bridal show where I saw Dave set up and playing his music for everyone there. What caught my attention was how he was in the aisle way with those walking around and dan...
cing with people that passed by..Right away I knew he had a great personality and enjoyed what he did. I went to speak with him and sure enough I was right. I knew right then and there he was going to be my DJ at my wedding! The day of the wedding he was on time and setting up and had everything under control. While me and my girls were getting ready and taking photos outside he played us some music to help get us pumped up and he did great with our photographer and got along with everyone he came in contact with! At the reception he knew just how to get everyone up and dancing and balanced the table and wait line for the food and didn't miss anything that was asked of him. He made our wedding a blast! I would highly recommend him for everything no matter if it wasn't a wedding..if anyone asks me about a DJ he will be the first and only one I would recommend. I couldn't be any happier to have such a great DJ at our wedding.
There is no one better than Dave! I can say with 100% certainty that our wedding would not have been as amazing as it was without Dave as our DJ! One month later and our guests are...
still talking about how much fun they had! The music was perfect and he even threw in a fun game that everyone enjoyed! He makes everything run smoothly and he's so easy to work with! At the reception, he took charge and always gave us a heads up when something was about to take place (cake cutting, first dance, etc.). You won't regret choosing him as your DJ!
When my husband and I were looking up DJS in the Louisville area I will have to say it was a bit overwhelming! When we met Dave from Odyssey we knew he was going to be perfect. IT ...
was an instant comfort. His personality and energy was awesome! I promise you will not be let down. We ordered the full package and had no regrets. The TVs were so much fun to play the pictures on. MY fiancé would randomly glance up at the tvs and laugh together at our kid pictures that popped up and to have music videos play during party time. IT went so well together. Dave made me as a bride feel like a million bucks on my day., he does a great job being aware of the photographer too! which is SO key! ... his personable warm will assure you that he can be trusted. We had a blast at our wedding and so did our guest. WE had several compliments on our DJ and wanted his information. He gets involved in the audience and really tunes in to the atmosphere. We had a lot of laughs with Dave! IF your looking for a DJ that will entertain and play awesome music I promise you wont be let down. And on another note this is the first review I have ever done for anything on the web. He was that great and I want other brides to know this too!
Thanks to Dave, we could not have had a more PERFECT reception!! He was absolutely amazing! Not only was he extremely accommodating (he listened to and honored every request that w...
e had) but he literally set the tone for our evening! All of our guests had a great time and loved the music! Dave had almost everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor, which is exactly what we hoped for. He and my dad even worked together to throw in a few surprises, like 2 screens that played a collection of photos of my dad and I when I was little during our father-daughter dance, and pictures of my husband and I the rest of the evening. Dave surprised us on his own with a few things that had our guests completely engaged and the room filled with laughter! HE wanted the reception to last longer himself! :-)
It was a night that we will never forget and Dave is a huge part of the reason that it went off without flaw! So thankful that we were able to have that experience and would absolutely recommend him to others!
Did everything I asked, and more! He was a little out of our budget but definitely worth it. Would recommend him to everyone.
Dave made our reception. Every single guest agrees; he was amazing. He made the planning so calm (I didn't have a coordinator) and clearly knows what he is doing. We had around 120...
guests at Gardencourt at the Louisville Seminary. He welcomed all of our guests and showed them around. When we arrived, he made sure we were taken care of by the caterer and let us know how time was running in a completely none stressful way. He gave us such a fun introduction, completely controlled how everyone moved through the buffet line, did a wonderful job of introducing and managing each of the necessary reception functions (cake cutting, toasts, dances), and made sure we had the most fun possible during the dancing portion. None of our friends left the dance floor! In fact, Dave will be on the floor with you and even helps teach popular dances. He is truly wonderful, completely affordable, and well worth every penny. Definitely book him if you want a fun reception that you and everyone you love to truly enjoy:)
we interviewed 3 DJs and we felt most relaxed and confident with Dave Drummond. He put together a fun event for the guests and acted as the MC for the entire evening. What a reli...
ef it was to be able to leave it up to him to make sure all went as planned!
Dave was SO much fun!! Everyone had such a great time dancing and celebrating! There was never a dull moment at the reception and it was definitely a party to remember!! Would reco...
mmend working with him to anyone, he is very personable and outgoing and just loves to have a good time!!
What can I say? Dave did an amazing job! From the time that we first began planning he made me feel at ease, and was very receptive to all of my ideas and really wanted to make it ...
my day. He even helped me with a floorplan for the venue! I got so many compliments on the DJ and how he really kept the party going and made sure everyone was having a good time. It really made me feel at ease since I didn't have a day of coordinator that I knew we wouldn't forget anything because Dave had it covered!
My mother and I found Dave (Odyssey)online. After the first initial consultation we were sold. Dave was absolutely the most passionate, real, straight forward DJ that we met. He ch...
arges one flat reasonable price, that is beyond fair considering everything you get. I was so confident in this man, I referred him to a friend and actually got to see him in action before my wedding came around. He was amazing. Another thing I appreciate about Dave is his patience. I got married on 11-11-11 and was really wanting to do a few activities to play up the date. I probably sent Dave 5 emails just tossing ideas around, and each time he would respond and help me sort thru my ideas. This is not something he had to do, but he did because he sincerely cares about his brides and he wants them to have the weddings of their dreams. Mine certainly was and theres no way it wouldve turned out as such without Dave. If there is any one thing that I have been most complimented on, it would be my DJ service. I am truly grateful for Odyssey Mobile. Dave is a magical man, to say the least :)
My husband and I could not be HAPPIER with all that Dave (Odyssey) did for us on our wedding day. He took care of the wedding ceremony music and the reception music. He was so ea...
sy to talk to and work with prior to wedding and wanted to make sure that EVERYTHING was exactly what we wanted!
He went beyond any of our expectations. From finding obscure songs that we wanted to teaching parents, grandparents and other family and friends "The Dougie" and other popular dances. No matter what was thrown Dave's way, he handled everything smoothly and most importantly, my husband and I were completely at ease and able to enjoy our AMAZING night and celebrate.
As a bride who planned our wedding without any type of coordinator, it was wonderful to have Dave take control of the flow of the reception and make sure we stayed on our timeline! One less stress for me that night!! :))
We would definitely reccomend Odyssey Mobile Entertainment to any brides and grooms!!! You can't go wrong if you use Odyssey and Dave!!!
We found Dave at a Bridal show when we were drawn by his display of music videos. We immediately liked his personality. My husband calls it "good mojo". Dave was a pleasure to w...
ork with and made wonderful suggestions for key moment songs and was very accomodating for our specific song selections of lesser known artist. It was wonderful to be able to let go and have a good time at the reception knowing that Dave had it all under control. He kept the dance floor hopping and ushered our guests to the buffet perfectly! I truely didn't have to worry about a single thing. From our introduction, cake cutting, dinner, first dance to last call, Dave had the party in the palm of his hand. Our guests loved his music vidoes too! I highly recommend Odyssey Mobile Entertainment.
I cannot possibly say enough wonderful things about Dave and Odyssey! My husband (then fiance') and I had been to several weddings before seeing Odyssey for the first time. M...
ost of these weddings had DJ's that were very predictable and boring. Then we saw Dave. He took control of my friend's entire reception. He ran the show! When it came to party time, we had never seen better. We knew we had to have Odyssey for our reception. We booked Dave and Odyssey the next day. When it came time for our reception, we couldn't have been more pleased. Dave goes above and beyond what you would ever expect. He truly does run the entire night. Our guests kept coming up to us and asking, "where did you find this guy, he's awesome"! His music choices couldn't have been more perfect. Our dance floor stayed packed all night.
Anyone reading this and thinking about booking Odyssey needs to stop thinking and call them. If you use anyone else, you'll be wasting your money.
