ODea Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with! We hired them for our Colorado wedding this August and they made the entire evening so enjoyable and fun. During our wedding ceremony, an unforeseen mountain rainstorm opened up on us, and we had to move under the tent. This actually ended up being one of our most favorite parts of the day, and ODea Entertainment went above and beyond during the transition to make sure we had what we needed. I found out after the fact that they even assisted our harpist with moving her equipment inside as well. We LOVED having Mike as our MC and DJ
