  • DJ
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves West Des Moines, IA

After I finished my PhD in genetics and molecular biology at Yale, I left behind a career as a research scientist to pursue a lifelong dream as a professional sax player. While the pandemic was a roadblock to many musicians, I managed to gain momentum as a street performer when I began hosting outdoor concerts for the local entertainment-deprived graduate students. A few of my fellow graduates asked me to perform at their weddings, and even DJ, so I spent the next two years honing my skills and constructing a very 80's synthwave-style brand and equipment to match the vibe.

“Couldn’t recommend this DJ more. Between the communication before the wedding and the energy and vibe he brought - Lucas is the best! My husband and I are dancers so we were very particular about our music and Lucas was our perfect match. He kept the dance floor full all night and so many of our guests asked for his info so they could recommend him to friends! We had friends who hired a different saxophonist to play over their DJ to mimic our wedding and it didn’t compare. If you want a fun wedding - Lucas is your man!”

“I booked Obie for my wedding on April 7. I knew there were multiple moving parts to making a wedding successful. However, I did not realize the magnitude of having a great DJ and MC until I had DJ Obie for both. I was incredibly impressed on how professional he was from the very beginning. From my past experience, many DJs were happy to be picked and paid for a job. DJ Obie was different. He not only appreciated taking on the job, but he strived to ensure that the wedding would be a moment to remember, and without a doubt, he accomplished that. During the wedding and days after, I continually heard my (and my wife’s friends) say that DJ Obie did an incredible job. Without a doubt, it’s the best job that I experienced and I look forward to working with you again. Thank you so much for making this a moment to remember.”

Winner of the 2014-2021 Best Band by Better Magazine, the Ken Arlen Evolution Orchestra has also developed a nationwide presence with performances ranging from New Year’s Eve at the Bellagio in Las Vegas, to the Presidential Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C.

“Indigo was the band we chose for our Chicago wedding at Salvage One. We cannot say enough great things about Indigo – they made all our wedding band dreams come true! The band is lead by the incredibly talented Kendall Nesbitt, who kept all of our guests on the dance floor (including himself) all night long, curating a set list that perfectly matched our music taste (Motown, oldies and pop). He delivered the BEST version of “Shout!” (with a mashup of Bob Marley’s Three Little Birds!) we have ever heard. Some guests who typically do not prefer that song were raving about it. Each band member and singer were also insanely talented – Noah perfectly sang our first dance song “Forever You and Me”. We also would be remiss to not mention the solo guitar during our ceremony too. They were able to perfectly learn and play versions of songs we requested for the processional. If you are looking for a high energy, fun wedding band, we highly recommend working with Arlen, specifically Indigo. “Worth every penny.” – A happy father of the bride. Thanks Arlen/Indigo!”
